THEY FED AND INITIATED HIM It Wat IM to he UUmg le TrMa Me-WbM This Fwletf Be Seat Sheriff Toe party of Coshoctonians who are camped near tbe Tuscarawas river ridge across the valley from West Lafayette had an experience the other night with tbe law, but as they were unocent of any wrong doing they can laugh with friends and put it down as an important part of their outing. Tbe party is made uo of Landlord Dyer, of the Park, J. P. Zerbe, John Sloxbam, Clarence Gosser and Blake Mizer. They are a jolly lot and to make camp life more interesting decided to Initiate their visitors into he mysteries of a society organized 'or that purpose.

Tbe initiation produced a great deal of sport and was appreciated by all who called on them with the single exception of a stranger. He was a dago and a peddler, and when be wandered into camp the boys rreeted him with the open handed lospitality for which they have gamed a wide reputat. He was ini- iated and given bis" jpper. This last he liked very well, b-t had known nothing of initiations on the sunny slopes of his far away Italy and he did not relish it. But be bad an eye to business and insisted on displaying his wares.

Thee? upers had no desire to buy. but the wanderer spread out what he had for sale. When he found he could not do business in camp be ied up bis bundle and started for West Lafayette. "Now it seems the peddler had for- gotte to put in a few articles of mall value, and when they were dis covered in camp they were given to a boy who was instructed to follow him and turn them over without delay. The boy start 3d on his mission and when the peddler discovered bis loss be was mad.

He imagined he saw in the means to even up on that initiation, and hastening to West La- 'ayette laid his complaint before an Qicer. He declared he had been robbed and tbe officer visited the camp. There the matter wat explained and he went away without making an arrest- The incident, however, was not closed. Sheriff Hedge received a telephone message from West Lafayette at midnight telling him he was needed at the camp. He hastened to but when he arrived fonnrl there was no cause to arrest anyone as no crime lad been committed.

The campers augbed over their experience with law and the peddler who was de- to put them behind tbe bars because he had neglected to gather up all his belongings before he left them.

PILOTS WERE BROKEN When Trans Came Together the THE SWITCH LIGHT WAS GONE Ike Actitfert a few Feet Nearer the Britff WMld late teea Meaty.

Two trains came together on the Walbonding at the pumping station Sunday night at 10 o'clock. No one was hurt, and the property loss was small. It seems that a freight from Loudonville bad been given the right of track to Ooshocton, and a coal train going north was on the main track near the pumping station waiting for it to pass. South bound trains being lighter usually take the second track at that point, those going north re- mainrng on the main line. The train from the north cleared tne long trestle at good speed and a part of it was across the Tuscarawas bridge when it crashed into the engine waiting for it to pass.

The engineer saw the danger in time to prevent serious trouble and reversing -be engine quietly slipped to the ground. The engineer of the north bound train could do nothing. The prompt action of the first- engineer checked his train, and when it struck the other engine it was with no more force than was necessary to smash the pilots, throw one truck off the rails and derail a gondola that had just left the Tuscarawas idge. Word was at once sent to Dennison, and in a short time the wreck crew were at the scene. They completed heir work at 6 o'clock" this morning and went home.

The trains were and the disabled engines sidetracked until they could be taken to the shops for repai rs. The cause of the accident was a mystery until it developed that the ight on the switch was not there and the switch baa not been thrown so as to allow the train from north to enter. Where the responsibility rests will be de developed by the official investigation. The damage WES to the gondola hat left- the track. It was pulled over the embankment by tbe wreck crew.
