Wooster Man's Disappearance Ties Rail Contract Plot
A Wooster man allegedly engineered a scheme to derail Frank Ovens, contractor for the Massillon Wooster and Menefield road, by pressuring meetings and feigning roles. Ovens vanished after a tense encounter with the project backers led by F. W. Miller and Dr. Buchanan, who blame Bartholemew for blocking talks. The group claims the road is nearly financed and will be built, despite Ovens's multiple aliases and failed contract sales.
