make the race a second time because
of his record while in the office. The
Main street and the South Side bridge
problems will undoubtedly be the
leading issues in the coming cam
paign and Mr.. Doddridge, who be-
comes president Of the board next
year, has given these problems consid-
erable attention and study. AS mem
ber OF a junketing party to Pittsburg
and through a special study Of types
Of bridges and the method Of financing
the construction, he has gained knowl-
edge which, 1t is believed by other
county officials, will be of great value
in determining the proper bridge to
build in Wayne county.
What effect his announcement on
the probable course Of the Progress
sives in the county is not known. It
is understood that Albert Chamness,
who was elected treasurer on the Pro-
gressive ticket, was instrumental In
inducing Mr.. Doddridge to make race
for reelection.

Brakeman p. e. Brandolf Of Con
ductor Monahan's crew on the c. &
O., had an experience recently that he
will remember for some time. 1t was
near Williamsburg that the crew had
to do some switching and Brandie was
standing near the camp cars Of q
Greek extra gang when cut Of cars
bumped into the camp cars with con-
siderable force. The occupants
swarmed out of the cars with anger
in their eyes and armed with pick
axes and other deadly weapons. They
spotted the lone brakeman and made a
dash at him. Bandolf did not stop to
argue the matter but took to his heels
and beat all records for the mile pass
ing two rabbits on the way who were
travelling in the same direction.
