Myrtle May Shively, aged fourteen years, daughter of Mrs. Edith Clark, is held in jail here on the charge of delinquency having been committed by Esquire Frank Ramsey on the above charge, and will be made to appear was a witness against Ray McNabb, a young man aged nineteen years, of this city, at the April term of the Steuben circuit court, or in the district federal court, if the case is taken there. Miss Shively was lured from this city by McNabb, and they went to Toledo, O., in which place McNabb deserted her, returning himself to this city. At the request of Mrs. Clark, officer Domer Cassel went to Toledo and brought her daughter home.

The following was copied from The News-Messenger, Fremont, Ohio, Wednesday, March 14, 1934, Page 1:
Elmer E. Jackson, 76, widely known pioneer resident of Fremont and Sandusky county was perhaps fatally burned, when flames destroyed his apartment at 417 South Front street about 2:30 o’clock Wednesday morning. He was taken to Memorial hospital in a police car where his condition is regarded as critical.
Mrs. Elta Eckenberger, Toledo; Mrs. L. Wireman, Detroit, Willard and Wayne Jackson, children of the injured man are at his beds, having been notified of the accident by police. Lloyd Jackson, of Minneapolis, another son, has also been informed of the tragic happening.
Reports Vary
Reports regarding the fire vary and police Wednesday morning launched at investigation to determine the cause. It is said another man had been in the Jackson apartment shortly before the fire was discovered. An early report said the fire was due to an over-heated hot plate but it was later determined that this equipment had not been burning during the night. Police say they have a clue as to the identity of the other man and he is to be questioned. James Burns, deputy state fire marshal of Norwalk, will also be called into the case.
Jackson, who is said to have been residing in Clyde recently, came to Fremont Wednesday and applied for a room at a boarding and rooming house owned and operated by Mrs. Rose Spattig, of 415 South Front street.
Took Room
Mrs. Spattig said that Jackson, unable to obtain quarters in her rooming house, agreed to rent a room in an annex in the rear of the rooming house. The apartment selected was formerly occupied by Jackson and is the center room in a wood structure. The front end is a garage and the room on the opposite side was occupied by Orville Riffle and his 12 year old son. Mrs. Spattig said that Jackson, after renting the room, went down town and returned to his quarters about 10 o’clock Tuesday night.
The first alarm of the fire was given by Orville Riffle who, with his son, escaped from the rapid advance of the flames that completely destroyed the annex. Riffle hammered at the door of the rooming house and aroused the occupants.
Mass Of Flames
When firemen arrived the annex was a seething mass of flames and the rear end of the boarding house was also burning. The flames from the burning structure case a great reflection and attracted a large crowd.
Firemen and police are of the opinion that Jackson, attired in underwear, had been sleeping until the fire contacted his bed and converted his room into an inferno. The man walked through the fire and made his exit through the only door opening into his apartment.
His clothing was burned from his body and he was conscious despite his terrible burns. He was taken to the hospital by Captain Pat McGuire and Patrolman Charles Johnson.
Damage $350
The contents of the annex, together with an auto owned by Mrs. Spattig was destroyed. The back end of the rooming house was also damaged. The loss, estimated at $350, is covered by insurance.
The fire was located in a thickly built district, but the snow fall on roofs prevented burning embers from contacting other structures.
Jackson is a native of Sandusky county and has practically spent his entire life in this locality. He was a cement contractor by trade. His wife preceded him in death 12 years ago.
