The Deadly Autos Record.

The recklessness of owners and
drivers Of automobiles in and about
American cities fully keeps pace
with their rapid increase in mum.
bsrs, and the record presented
thus far this year is away ahead of
of all previous periods. as might
be expected. Despite the laws
and police regulations. the ration
of accidents is decidedly on the
increase, and it would appear that
some other and more drastic penal
ty must be devised and put into
effect if life and limb is to be at
all secure in the streets of our
cities. Take New York city, for
example. where the laws are strict
and the police are aided by the
services of a mounted force and a
bicycle squad. as we'll as by a oom-
plete telephone and telegraph out
6t at the service of the force at all
times Yet in that self-same city,
since the first day of January in
the current year, there have been
no less than seven hundred and
ninety three auto accidents, and
in these sixty two lives were lost
and nearly one hundred and fifty
people wounded more OF less seri-
ousIy. That much of this is due
to pure unduIterated carelessness
is beyond question. One young
millionaire is down with the terri
BILE record of having alone caused
two deaths and five permanent
cripples, and several others are not
far behind him in swelling the
grand total. There should, in all
reason, be some remedy devised
for this wholesale slaughter, and
indictment for wiIIfuI murder,
vigorously prosecuted without fear
OF favor, would appear to be good
suggestion and might be tried in
the absence of anything else CON-
mensurate with the problem.

Last Thursday morning, about
2 O'Clock, the home of VIM. Lark,
of Putnam county, was fred into

burned to the ground. The family
consisted of Mr.. and Mre. Lark
and three children. Seven Shots
were fred into the house but only
one took effect. Mrs Lark being
shot in the foot. The family had
but one chance for their lives and
that wes in flight. Seeing them
feeing by the light of their burn
ing home, the would-be assassin
tired at them again but n one were
hit.
Neighbors of the Lark family
saw the burning house and went
to l. at once. Nothing. However,
could he saved. and in the light of
the burning building they saw the
assassin and incendiary in fight.
A man by the name of Joe Tay-
lor WAS suspicioned as the guilty
man.
He had run "speak easy" and
had been indicted for the offense
and the Larks had testified against
him.
Dogs from Gallipolis and Char.
lesion were taken to the scene and
they followed the trail to Taylor's
home, but it was given out that he
was not at home. The officers
made search and found him hid
in loft, and he was arrested and
put in the Winfield Jail. Mr..
Lark is one of Putnam county's
substantial citizens.
