tive Association who have been on the
trail of the Knightstown thief were in this city Saturday evening enroute home. They state that all trace of the thief has bei lost but that- every effort will be-made to land him. A reward of $200 has been offered for the return of the horse and phaeton and the apprehension of the thief. The detectives arrived at Dayton
Saturday morning about 2 o'clock and went at once to . police headquarters. Two Dayton detectives and three patrolmen were ordered to assist the Knightstown men in capturing the thief who was expected to go through Dayton enroute to Washington, C. H. Roads leading into Dayton from the north were . closely watched by the Dayton police all night but the thief Ijiled to materalize. Saturday , the Knightstown men searched the country in the vicinity of Eldorado, O., where the thief was last seen and the stolen rig was traced to the cross roads north of Eldorado, where the scent ended. It was at this same spot that . Officers Bundy and Edwards lost the trail of the thief Friday.
Farmers all over that section of the country assisted in the search for a clue to the direction taken by the thief but the search was fruitless. The horse thief detective association at Greenville, Eldorado, Madison and New Madison are assisting in the search for the elusive thief. Every far
mer in that section ot the state ot Ohio has been informed by telephone of the theft and if the man succeeded in slipping past the vigilant farmers
he will get a medal as a champion
in his line.

Unknown Colored Man Struck
By Unknown White Man.
The closing week of the contest has
started off as the record breaking vot
ing day of the whole contest so far. Both Miss Lashley and Miss Sands added enormously to their already large total votes, Miss Lashley still maintaining her lead. Elza Stevenson, the popular Economy teacher, also added several thousand votes to his total vote, increasing the good lead he has enjoyed so long during the
contest. Considerable Is doing in the
woman shop employe class, too, and
Miss Hodskin, by the great increase she received, has established a new
high record with over 159,000. Miss
Danner, of the same class, however, shows that she is still very much in the running by pushing her total vote
well up over the 100,000 mark, which
she first passed on Saturday. (Continued on Page Four.)
Jessup's Men Went After the Game From the Drop of the Flag Romine Was Sent to The Uncut. (By Tort.J Richmond 7; Dunkirk 8. To the tune of the gentle rain drop and resounding swats our hospital candidates snatched the fastest, most interesting game of the season from the speedy Dunkirk aggregation Saturday afternoon at Athletic park. Two hundred mildewed fans with cracked
pipes and palpitating hearts left the
yard at the close of the ninth, and there was great rejoicing. The ball yard was a mass of slippery ooze but both teams put up a fast fielding game and there was
plenty of free hitting. The third and fourth innings were played In a downpour of wet but the athletes were as indifferent to the sousing as would be
"Tessle the Turtle," Frank Egly's
soup candidate and ex-pride of the hospital pond. Once the gallant athletes were driven to cover by the on
slaught of the rain but the fans, scorn
ing rain checks, huddled In the stands
under a small collection of umbrellas
and yelped "play ball." After the
liquid fourth the timid sun flitted out and everything was lovely, clear to the finish of the Garrison sprint made by the Quakers to win out. The locals were under a severe handicap throughout the game. Crippled but game they fought the weather, a fast team and the decisions of Umpire , Ially.Jn a gallant manner. Last night Manager Jessup and - his braves were" all smileR, the .hoodoo having been captured, embalmed and laid away. Went After the Game.
Last evening a fierce fight between
an unknown wnite man ana an unknown! colored man took place on
South Tenth street in the rear of the
Starr Piano store. The negro called the white man a vile name, which had no sooner been uttered than the negro went to the sidewalk from a smash in the jaw. As he picked himself up he was hit again in the face by his white antagonist. By this time quite a crowd had collected and the two participants, the colored man with
his face smeared with blood, took to
their heels and disappeared.

The Quakers went after the game from the drop of the flag. Mr. Romine, slant dispenser, was chesen to hold the Clippies down. Ten minutes after Mr. Romine stepped on the slab the wild-eyed Dunkirk manager used the derrick on him and our hero was chased to the uncut in right field. Mr. Carmichael coming in from that garden and assuming the responsibilities
so suddenly dropped by Romine. Carmichael was not batted out of tho box but his offerings were slammed hither and yon up to the pelt-raising ninth. In the first Rabbit Ritter drew a base on four wide ones. J. Cameron, standing stork like on his one sound pin, was next up and smote for two bases, Ritter scoring. Jessup, running for Cameron, then romped home on a beautiful line drive for two sacks from the bat of Plummer. At this juncture Mr. Romine was chased from the slab. This ended the fireworks, Cunningham, Mensler and Jessup proving easy out3. Tied in the Fifth. In the second Jocko Weaver, on.
parole from the old soldiers home, singled and scored on Cameron's vicious single. By good hitting Dunkirk scored a run In the first and one in
the second. The visitors added another tally In the fourth during the wet season and tied the game up. 4 to 4.
in the fifth. No more scoring was Indulged In by either team until the last of the eighth when the Quakers put two over. The rally was started
by "Kid" Mensler, who had been play
ing a sensational game In the mud at short field. After Cunningham had
struck out for his third time, Mensler
belted one for two sacks Into deep center. Manager Jessup with a do or die expression came to bat with his black wagon tongue, and maybe he wasn't there with the pinch hit "Biff rang the bat and Into left field went the ball, soaring gracefully over the head of the left fielder as he stood on a crag of Pike's Peak. Jessup rested at second base while Mensler loped home. Weaver went out but Horn was the boy with the bingle and his mana
ger scored. This ended the scoring for the eight. 1 Tried to Save It. The game Dunkirk lads came to at in the ninth to take the game off the coals and all but succeeded In turning the trick. Romine singled but died at second on a fielder's choice, Stewart going to first. Hall hit to Mensler
