In announcing he had asked for Shelton's resignation the governor said he had received no reply. “There are other ways of doing it,’’ he said, providing Shelton does not resign.

S. Liechty, in the guardianship of Frederick Amacher, a person of unsound mind, to sell real estate of ward, was argued in the circuit before Judge John Moran today. Frederick Amacher, a person of unsound mind, left this country four or five years ago, without the consent of the guardian, and went to Switzerland. Upon his return to Ellis Island was refused admission to this country because he was not a citizen of the United States, although he had lived here several years, and had considerable property in Adams county. He was taken back to Switzerland and a guardian appointed for him there. Through the Swiss consul arrangements were made whereby funds for his support in Switzerland were sent through the Adams county guardian. The last petition is for the sale of land by the guardian, and on the witness stand today, the guardian stated he desired to invest the money thus obtained by the sale that a greater return might be obtained. The petition of the sale is being fought by Victor Amacher, a nephew of the ward, who alleges the cash thus received will be sent to the authorities in Switzerland. Mr. House, the representative of the Swiss consul at Cincinnati, was here today, assisting Judge J. T. Merryman, attorney for the guardian. Judge D. E. Smith appeared for the nephew, Victor Amacher. Judge Moran has the matter under advisement. • EASTER WEATHER (United Press Service) Washington, March 26 — (Special Io Daily Democrat)— General bad weather for all parts of the country for tonight and Sunday is the forcast of the weather bureau today.
