FOR PROBATE JUDGE.
Editor of Perrysburg Journal,
Perrysburg, Ohio.
Dear Sir: I have recently filed ns
a candidato for nomination to the of
fico of Probate Judge at the Republi
can Primaries, to bo held August 8,
1916. I would like very much to seo
every ono of your Republican readers
personally during my campaign for
the nomination, but as that would bo
an impossibility on my part, I take
this method of bringing my candidacy
to the notice and attention of the Re
publicans of Wood county. Believ
ing myself to be equally well quali
fied to dischargo the duties of the of
fico of Probate Judge ns either one of
my three competitors for the office, and
knowing also that I am an older citi
zen of the county, and that I am the
only candidate for this county who
served tho country during the late
Civil War, gives me tho assurance to
believe that I am more justly entitled
to recognition and support for tho
nomination by the Republicans thnn
either of tho other candidates for
that office. I do not base my title to
their preference upon tho more fact
that I served four years during the
war in the 21st Ohio Infantry, but I
do claim that, other things being
equal, that fact should turn the scale
in my favor, and s'c me the prefer-

once nt the Primaries. I need no in
trotluction to very many of your
readers from tho fact that I have
touched elbows, slopt under tho same
blanket and drank from the same can
teen with many of your readers and
of their descendants. Tho company to
which I belonged was known as "Tho
Porrysburg Company," and 1 believe it
was bne in which the citizens and
vicinity had a deep interest and took
great pride. Reminding your readers
further of the fact that if honorable
snrvico is to bo recognized and re

be everlastingly too late, as the time
is rapidly approaching when those who
served their country in its dire need
in 1861-05 will not be hero to receive
itny material reward from a grateful
people, and flowers strewn upon their
graves and kindly words of remem
brance and appreciation after they
have answered to the last roll call will
not avail them much, neither they nor
their families.
Trusting that the relative claims of
the various candidates of this office
may be carefully and impartially con
sidered, and that their votes at the
Primaries will be upon a point of
merit only, I am,

v..
CANDIATE FOR THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION FOR REPRE
1 SENTATIVE IN CONGRESS FOR THIS DISTRICT.
Alexander Kiskadden has been
unanimously endorsed for Representa
tive in Congress by the Central and
Executive Committees of Seneca
County. Members of the Republican
party with scarcely an exception, and
the Republican Press of Seneca County
believe him, by reason of education,
legal attainments, political and busi
ness experience, to be eminently quali
fied for tho office, and therefore re
spectfully urge his nomination.
Judge Kiskadden received his pub
lie school education partly in the
schools of Tiffin and the High School
at Washington, D. C, and his college
education at tho University of Mich
igan. Ho received the degree of
Bachelor of Letters after a course of
study pursued under the system adop
ted there from the German university
methods. Judgs Kiskadden has always
been an interested student of the poli
tical and economic questions of the day
'and took a signal advantage of his op
portunities to study such questions
While in European countries.
In politics Judge Kiskadden has has
always taken a deep interest and an
active part. Ho has been a member
of tho Republican Executive Commit
tee of Seneca county continuously since
1893 with the exception of one year
when he was candidate for office. Dur.
ing these 22 years of service Judge
Kiskadden served in tho arduous
. capacity of either chairman or secre
tary. Ho has served as a member of
tho State Central Committee repre
senting this congressional district
three times, including tho memorable
campaign of 1912, and has served sev
eral years on the State Executive Conv
mitteo and is at present a member of
hat Committee, Ho is recognized oyer
the state as an able and sagacious poli
tician. In business Judge Kiskadden has
had a successful career. Starting asa
clerk in Gait's jewelry store in Wash
ington, D. C, then as a Singer Sewing
Machine agent in Tiffin under the vet
eran sewing machine agent, Mr. D. M.
Eastman, of that city, and later in Bel
laire and Wheeling, and following it
up with the diversified career of a book
agent, he thus earned enough to pay
his way through college. Judge Kis
kadden has gradually.broadcned out in
his business ventures, until at the pres
ent time ho is identified with some of
the most important business interests
of Tiffin and Fostoria, and is recog
nized as one of our most successful
business men.
In the practice of 'his chosen pro
fession Judge Kiskadden has been
equally successful. In 1893 he was
elected Probate Judge of Seneca
County in which capacity he served
three years. He has been identified
with some of the most important cases
tried in the Seneca County courts. He
is careful, painstaking, and conscien
tious in the discharge of his duty as a
lawyer, and his ability and integrity is
universally recognized.
Tho name of Judge Kiskadden will
appear first on Primary Ballot of Con
gressional Candidates. This is a paid
article.

Porter fired, killing his victim al
most instantly. After the deed ho
fled to the woods nuTl wandered
about for several days. Intelli
gence of the tragedy spread l-npijl-
ly up and down the river, and a
systematic search for tho criminal
began, but without avail. A few
days later, Porter was discovered
at the "ford" near "Wuturville, and
headed toward that town. Walk
ing boldly into the village, he gave
himself up without hesitation and
wished to be placed in jail. John
Webb was then sheriff of Wood
county, at Porrysburg. Sheriff
Webb went after Porter, and he
was secured in the old log jail be
hind the county court house, which
at that time stood on the lot where
at present Fred llillabrand resides.
Sheriff Webb then lived at the
upper end of Front street, and
thrice daily he would bring Porter
his meals. Front street at the time
was little more than a cow path,
winding about here and there be
tween the stumps of old trees,
while the old jail was quite ob
scured from view, being almost
hidden by a dense thicket that sur
rounded it. The prisoner talked
freely with tho sheriff, attempting
to hide nothing, and seemed to be
of the opinion that lie had rid the
"settlement" of a bad and infam
ous character.
It was on August 19th that
Porter was brought to the Perrys
burg jail. Court was then in ses
sion, witli .ludges Peter Hitchcock
and Henry Brush on the bench.
Thomas Powell was prosecuting
attorney and Thomas R. McKnight
county clerk. On August 20th. the
grand jury, which was then in ses
sion, indicted Porter for murder,
and on the 30th his trial began,
and though ably defended bv
Osias Parish and David Iliggins."
he was found guilty, and sen
tenced to be hung on the following
5th of November at the east end oi
Fort Meigs.
On the day of the execution,
which was to bo a. public affair
people came from far and near.
Sheriff Webb had previously con
structed the gallows on the open
ground on the side of the ravine
next to Fort Meigs. Near the ap
pointed hour of the day, the great
crowd noticed a single hor.se and
wagon coming from the direction
of the jail. The driver was Jaine:
Grego, and in the wagon was
Porter's coffin. Not far behind
followed two men, the sheriff and
the prisoner walking.
There reigned a stillness of
death, as the two men ascended
the scaffold, side by side; and
after the black cap had been fitted
over the face of the doomed man.
and as the last prayer was being
said the trap was sprung, and
George Porter had paid the price
ol ins crime.
Somewhere in the old and
abandoned cemetery, just west of
our present vilalge jail and in an
unmarked grave, rests Jie dust of
this unfortunate man. That our
first settlers and magistrates, here
in this valley, had their trials and
tribulations in an early day, goes
without saying. For to administer
justice impartially, especially
when a human life is held in the
balance, is a task not to lie desired.
But it can be said to the credit
of the people of this Mnumee Val
ley, that for the most part, it has
always nurtured a patriotic, peace
able and law-abiding citizenship.
