CANDIDATES FLIP COIN BUT MARSH REFUSES TO QUIT. Tie in Election of Supervisor Causes a Muddle in Wayne Township. "Charles Springer and Joseph Mason were contented to flip a coin to see who would be road supervisor in district No. # of Wayne township and they did so in the office of Township Trustee Cornelius Gearin this morning, but John Marsh, the present incumbent said he would decline to give up the office as there had been no election.

Both went to the courthouse this morning and reported the matter to the trustee. Coun ty Attorney Hoffman was called in and advised that the men flip a coin and Springer guessed right.
