EXCITING ONE
Runaway Team Made Lively
Kun With Auto Car Before
Overtaken

Two bronchos hitched to a light
spring wagon furnished some excite.
ment for the pedestrians on Main
street at the noon hour today when
they dashed down the street at a ter.
rife clip of speed. Only after : long
chase were they captured uninjured.
The team was standing near the
500 depot when they became fright
ened at passing engine. They ran
south to Main street and went west
until they were captured. The team
was headed for home aud would un-
doubtedly have been there within a
short time ago had ii not been that
an auto was pressed into service. The
auto belonging to the Hinckley Auto
delivery and one Glen Meyer started
in pursuit but the bronchos gave the
party merry chase. The auto pass
ed the team near the International
Harvester company but the team
forged ahead in short distance.
When nearing the Indian school the
auto again passed the team, this time
crowding them to the side of the road
where the wagon was upset. Meyer
jumped from the auto and grabbed
The reins before any more damage
could be done.

OHIO Will VOTE
ON CONSTITUTION
Intense Interest Over the
State Taken IN the
Special Election
Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune
COLUMBUS, o., Aug. 31.-Intense
interest is manifested throughout the
state in the outcome of the special
election to be held next Tuesday,
when the voters Of the commonwealth
will be given an opportunity to decide
the fate of the forty-two important
amendments to the state constitution
Professionally adopted by the recent
constitutional convention. Although
personal interests and party politics
are not paramount in the coming elec-
ton az they are in regular elections
at which Candidates for various pub
lie offices are voted for, the campaign,
now practically ended, was unusually
spirited. Some Of the amendments,
although quite important from juri-
dical point of view, did not evoke any
material controversy, while others,
like the woman's suffrage amend?
ment, the license question and the
propositions in regard to the initia-
tive and referendum were made the
subjects Of lively controversies. !
Under the provisions of the law
only registered voters will be entitled
to vote at the election on Tuesday
next. This will probably reduce the
number Of votes that will be cast,
gbut will not materially affect the res
suit of the election. This is due t0
the fact that the law governing the
coming election was framed with q
view Of making It easier to change
the constitution. At former constil
tutional elections It was necessary
for a majority of all the voters TAX
ing part in the election 10 vote in IA.
yor OF an amendment ito secure its
adoption; at the coming election,
however, an amendment will be con4
,sidered adoptedsi II a majority of the
voters voting o1 1t should vote ii it's
favor. ..
The ballots to be used at the com
ing election are one yard long and
ten inches wide. One column contains
the list Of forty-one or the amend
sments to be voted on; while the props
s0sition regarding theS liquor licenss
occupies a place by itself In the sec4
pnd column. There will be no
straight" ballots. Every proposal
stands on its own merits and must
be voted for Or against separately by

placing an X in the space designated
for it. The work of counting the votes
will Sc quite difficult and complcat-
ed and will occupy considerable time!
II all the amendments proposed
should be adopted by the vote OF the
people, Ohio would obtain a practical
ly new constitution embodying some

ers in any part of the country. Among
