DURING STRIKE Charles Bell Called From Akron, Ohio, to Help Manage New York Offices. OF * WELLS FARGO Mrs. J. T. Merryman Goes to be With Her Sister During His Absence. Charles Bell, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Bell of this city, now manager oi the Wells Fargo Express offices at Akron, Ohio, and formerly agent for the Decatur and Fort Wayne offices, has been called to help manage the New York offices during the drivers' strike which is now on there. There are from 500 to 600 or more Wells Fargo express wagon drivers in New York and when they go on a strike that means some extra work in getting out the goods that comes in and it is the duty of the managers to get men from the outside to take the place of the strikers, a feat that is not devoid of danger. Mr. Bell was called to New York several months ago to assist in the securing of men to take the place of the striking drivers at that time and he knows just about how to go about it. The fact that his assistance was secured means that his capability lis recognized by the company for I which he works, and as he is a Decatur boy, the reflection of his capability is a credit to the city in which he was born and reared as well. Mrs. J. T. Merryman, who is a sister of Mrs. Bell, has gone to Akron to be with her during the absence of her husband in the east. o RETURNS HOME. Lawrence Biggs, who nearly five weeks ago met with an injury while engaged at work at the Pennsylvania shops, Fort Wayne, and who had been at the St. Joseph's hospital nearly four weeks, was able to return home, with the aid of crutches, Saturday evening and will remain here until his injured limb will permit him to resume his work. The accident was quite a painful one, the ankle of the left limb being dislocated, and just above that point the bone was broken. It is healing nicely, but he cannot bear his weight upon it, giving away under the heavy strain DEATH OF COUSIN. Mrs. B. W. Sholty was grieved this morning to hear of the death of her cousin, Will Wagoner, of Delphos, Ohio. He was about, forty years of age and had been ill for some time with typhoid fever, paralysis of the body from the hips down, later setting in.
