NUMBER 17 VOLUME 57 'I H t 5 i 4 ST i V A f 4 : I I' i i UHDER THE horse shoe: LIES PLIilTH This Is the Slogan Adopted By the Com mercial Club and Percy Troyer Re ceived the Five Suggesting It. " Under the horseshoe lies Plym outh," is the slogan adopted by the Commercial Clab Friday night. Percy Troyer is the author of this battle cry and to him was awarded the five dolhrrs in gold promised to whoever should furnish the success fid slogan. Twenty one members of the club were present to vote. Ninety-three phrases had been handed in, most of them apt and the work of choosing was no easy task. Perhaps one fea ture which turned the trend of popularity to the slogan chosen was a letter from Marshall, . Texas, whose slogan is "At the end of the Rain bow lies Marshall, Texas." This letter was lying on the table and read by most of those present and the similarity of conception attracted at tention to our slogan. Twelve copies of the ninty two slo-rans bände! to the committee had been made. Each slogan was num bered and there was nothing to indi cate the author of any. Each mem ber of the club wa3 requested to rote r.n the three . slogans of his choice. The three most popular wee numbers 2. 44. and 91. A second vote made ' the decision. After the choice Mr. Wenzler sug gested to Mr. Snoeberger. who hap- pened to he standing. near, that we nutrht to rdace a h? horseshoe over the Michigan street bridge, with the word "Plvmonth" under it. This would represent the idea of the slogan. He also mr?esW that Mr. Snneherr contribute the electricity to licrht it. The latter relied that h? wordd b Tnnrp tbn lad to do so.

Barefooted without hat or coat, his trousers rolled up to the knee, he ran wildly down the Lake Erie tracks stopped on the bridge over the mid dle pier, dropped to his knees, yelled "Good bye, boys," and jumped off to a watery grave. He struck on the pier as he went down and then fell off into the river telow. The total distance to the river is about fifteen feet, and tha m ater is about six feet deep. Seen by Mrf . Diaaitt V" The suicide was seen by Mrs. Pearl Dimmitt who lives on Oak Hill ave nue, near the bridge. She was in the yard, saw Parish running wildly down the track, saw him kneel, heard his good-bye cry and saw him jump and fall into the river. She at once told the neighbors and a rescue party went to get Parish out. They were unable however, to each him before death. Dragged Out by Marshai Marshal Dan Jacoby with Bert Sisk as oarsman went down the river in a boat and with hooks made at the blacksmith shop dragged river bottom and although the water w. very muddy, soon found the body of the dead man, and brought it to shore. It was taken to Leonard's undertaking shop. Cause of the Suicide. The cause of Parish's suicide was drink and family troubles. A few weeks ago his wife brought suit for divorce and he seemed to be greatly worried about this. Every time he saw Dan Jacoby he would ask about the divorce rind talk about his wife in a troubled way. He went on fre- quent drunks and was undoubtedly crazed by whiskey when he commit ted suicide. -Yesterday he was on the streets selling fish, and with the money must have bought whiskey. He stayed at the home of his broths er-in-law, Dan Walker, and it was from there that he ran down the Lake Erie tracks to his death in the river. He was thought to be under the in fluence of delirium tremens Joe Glaub from the Interlocking tower saw Parish running down the track, and further on down he passed two 'hobos" wh called to him, but he paid no attention to anything. His actions were those of a crazv man. Jurymen for JJay Term Selected The jury commissioners of the Marshall Circuit Court havs appoint ed the jurymen for both grand and petit juries.
