  J. P. Menges of Bucyus, well known here, is under
   fire because of the discovery that for more than two
   years a 26-year-ol daughter had been kept in an
   iron-sheeted shed in the rear of his home, scantily
   clad and a prisoner in the small building which had
   not even a window.  The girl was at one time confined
   in the Toledo State hospital but was discharged as
   cured in 1915.  She is now in the care of the sheriff
   and the matter is being investigated.  Menges is a
   piano tuner and is said to be well-to do.
