INJURIES ARE
NOT SERIOUS
Newton Family Has Lucky
Escape Monday
A BAD CASH IN HEAD
Sustained BY Mr.. Newton While Wife
Is Thought To Be Injured In
ternaliy-Failure of Brakes
To Work Cause Of
Accident

Racing down Snake hill just east
of Gambler, Monday afternoon, the
auto of William Newton crashed into
the Upham car, injuring all members
of the Newton family with the excep-
ton of the two small sons of Mr.. and
Mrs. Newton. The driver of the Up
ham machine was not injured in the
least. The accident was noted III
Mondays issue Of The Banner
Mr.. Newton sustained dislocated
shoulder and an enormous cash in
the back Of his head. Several stitch
es were necessary to close the wound.
Mrs. Newton was the most unfortu-
nate, receiving a nasty cut in her
forehead and internal injuries. Mrs.
Newton also was badly bruised. Miss
Florence Newton, the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Newton, was badly
bruised but that was the exteut of
her injuries. None of the injuries
will amount to fatality.
Miss Newton stated that while
coming down Snake hill, her father
noticed the other car descending a
hill opposite them on the same road
Mr.. Newton was not running fast
down the hill, as there Is a sharp
turn at the base. Suddenly realizing
that his car was gaining speed, Me-
Newton applied the brakes. But the
brakes would not work and, the crash
being inevitable Mr.. Newton did his
best to slow the car but he had not
the time and his machine crashed In
to the Upham car, upsetting his car
but only damaging the front tenders
Of the other car.
An ambulance was summoned and
the injured people were removed to
the M. e S. hospital to have their
wounds attended by local physic-
ian.
All members of the Newton family
passed as comfortable a night as was
to be expected and Mrs Newton in
particular was exceedingly bright,
considering ler injuries.

Columbus, Nov. S.-Returns from
all sections of the state show that
Wilson has carried Ohio by aubstan-
tial plurality.
Chairman w, l. Finley of the Dem.
ocratic state committee insisted that
Wilson would carry the state and
wired Vance Mccormick, chairman OF
the Democratic national committee,
that the president was sure of a ma.
jority of more than 100000 in Ohio.
He also claimed that Senator Pom.
creme and former Governor Cox would
be elected, although running behind
the president.
This. however, was not conceded
by Lieutenant Governor John Arnold
who issued a statement claiming
Governor Willis and he had been re-
elected by plurallties ranging from
10000 to $4,000.
Unofficial estimates by Democratic
county leaders in Cuyahoga and
Franklin counties In which Cleveland
and Columbus are situated were con
fident of victory for President Wilson,
John Weld Peck, chairman of the
Democratic county committee of Ham
ilton county (CincinnatD conceded
that Hughes would carry the county
by 400 votes.
Democrats claim that returns indi.
cate that President Wilson's plurality
in Ohio will be sufficient to elect
Pomerene United States senator and
Cox governor for new terms. Demo
cratic Chairman Finley says Cox and
Pomerene are elected.
Hopes of Republicans that Hamilton
county would roll up plurality for
Hughes, Willis and Herrick to offset
the anticipated plurality for Wilson,
Cox and Pomerene In Cuyahoga coun.
ty seem doomed.
It is thought that Hughes has Ham
tton county by margin well In ex
cess of 10000, whereas Wilson has
Cuyahoga county by over 10000, early
returns forecast. In both Hamilton
anu Cuyahoga counties Cox and
