ITEM 2
Surnames mentioned:

1.) A hurry call came to Sheriff Cowles
from Hambden on the evening of the Fourth. The call urged the
sheriff to hurry up, as a "drunken man is killing his
family!" The sheriff hurried up, but when he arrived at
Hambden he found no trace of bloodshed and no evidence that
anybody's life was in jeopardy. He did learn, however, that a
good citizen had been to Painesville, and walked a little
unsteady. The sheriff also found the unsteady man's wife and
children enjoying themselves with the crowd, well and hearty. So
the hurry call was altogether too previous, and the sheriff rode
home to Chardon pondering on the wild whims that come into some
people's heads as soon as they get their mouth to a telephone.

M. L. Maynard and by him July 2, Mr. Ralph McNaughton of

4.) On the evening of the Fourth the Chardon
people made some fine displays of fireworks, balloons and other
Fourth of July ammunition, but it was noticed that the cannon
cracker or bombs were not in evidence in Chardon on the Fourth.
