J.MILLER's NARROW ESCAPE
Engineer Applies Brakes and Train
Misses Milk Wagon.

In order to avoid smashing a milk
wagon, and perhaps killing the
driver, an extra north bound Penn
sylvania freight IN charge of Con-
ductor Atkins was very nearly
wrecked Friday afternoon. A milk
wagon, driven by John Miller, re-
siding north of town, had just
crossed the Pennsylvania tracks on
the Marion and Bucyrus road when
the freight passed, missing the rear
wheels of the vehicle by three feet.
Seeing that the wagon would be
struck If the air brakes were not
placed, the engineer applied the air
brakes before the crossing was
reached. One of the cars was
broken as a result and other min
or damages were done.

HOPE TO BRING MAMOTH
FACTORY TO MARION SOON

mOnstrated.
The auto company promises to
erect plant costing at least $751;
900 on the forty acres which the
city proposes TO donate. In addition
to this they agree 10 expend from
fifteen to twenty-five thousand dol
lars in remodelling and improving
the plant of the Leader company.
Practically all OF the machinery
will be moved here from their
present plant which at this time is
employing about twelve hundred
men.
AT a meeting Of the Commercial
club directors held in the club quar-
tiers Friday afisn9on, the PROPOSE
ton was extensively discussed.
Practically all of Marion's most
prominent business men, manufac-
turers and lawyers were present
and the officials of the auto com
pany also met with the assembly.
The assembly concluded to put
forth every effort to land the in
dusHties. An executive committee
was appointed and instructed to
collect locations and to push the
mattes to the Emit. The committee
was composed as follows:
George ID. Copeland, chairman;
Dr. G. f. Sawyer, vice president;
IC. i. Allen, secretary; J. f. Fen-
degaEt, o. Wollenweber, e. B.
Durfee, Henry True, George d.
Christian, j., @. G. Fisher, w. f.
Scofeld, d. w. Evans, Henry strel-
itz and o. S. Rapp. This committee
will have full charge of the pro-
ceeding and every effort will be
exercised withdn the next several
weeks to push the proposition to
a conclusion.
A committee headed by attorney
William u. Saofelh was appointed
and instructed to disIrtbmte litera-
ture and to devise various methods
of educating the public TO contri-
butte TO the great enterprise. IL is
big undertaking and It can only
be made success by the people OF
Marion displaying their interest In
the growth and betterment Of the
city by awarding liberal donations.
The proposition will either sue
ceed or fail by April first. The
auto company has given the city
until that time to consider the
proposition and there will be no
time for any unnecessary delibera-
Etions.

TlH ough the efforts Of the Com

opportunity 90 acquiring three NAM
moth industries, two of which will

plans which have been formulated
by the leading citizens Of the city
work out, Marion will become tn,
g, eatest manufacturing town of its
Size in the state.
The names of the manufacturing
companies are withheld at this time
for business reasons. The citizens
have been excited to high state
of enthusiasm over the brilliant OPP
portunity which promises to trans
form Marion into a greater Sty.
There Is no doubt as TO the results
in case that the agressors in the
movement succeed.
The automobile factory which pur-
poses TO come to the city Is one or
the most noted in the United
States. It will empty between fiji
teen hundred and two thousand
men and the plant will cover an
expanse Of about forty aJres OF
ground.
The proposition of the auto com
pany Is not considered an unreason'
able one. 1t asks that the city
turn over the plant and gronnds OF
the Old Leader Manufacturing COM
pany and in addition, furnish forty
acres of ground located near rail-
road. II will take some liberal con-
tributions to raise this donation but
Il is a cause in which practically

split has been emphatfcally de-
