Baughman township has no open or licensed saloon as Sheriff Garger closed the last one after a court judgment. Cyrus Markley claims the belt of Wayne County for killing the largest hog in 1896, dressed 624 pods and yielded 39 gallons of lard. People knowing the stress of Robert M. Steward or his bets should send their address to N.8 Brice Orrville Ohio. Mr. Steward was once a Wayne County resident and is believed to reside there now. Citizens attend court as witnesses in the divorce case Lucy Wertz vs George Wertz.
