MotocyIe And A
Mule In Mix-Up

BY quick thinking p. A. Newman of
Brownsville yesterday probably saved
himself serious injury from a kicking mule,
but now has a totally wrecked motorcycle
the price he paid.
Newman was riding his cycle through
n fenced lane several miles out Of the city
at a speed of 35 miles an hour. lie spied
the mule just within the gate, and the
fact hat the mule was preparing to kick
and that fences on either side prevented
his avoiding the animal struck him at the
same time. His mind directed him to run
the machine into the mule. a an attempt
to avoid the animal would have placed him
al the exact distance to receive the full
impact Of a kick that the hybrid was very
apparently preparing TO launch.
So Newman ran the machine into the
mule AT 30 miles an hour. Necessarily,
the machine was wrecked. Newman was
thrown some distance and painfully
shocked, while His Honor. the mule, with
a victorious bray, exhibited only a slightly
hurt ankle.

SPECIAL TAX FOR MADISON SCHOOLS
 ID BE VOTED ON
Election Is Called for April 23 Under New Amend ment Recently Adopted
 by People

Huntsville, March 29-(Special)-An election has been called by the Madi son county commissioners for April 23, to allow the voters of the entire coun- ty to vote their will on proposi- tion to levy an additional tax of three mills for the benefit of the public schools. Petitions which were sent into every portion of the county by the Madison county board of education were signed by great many people and it is believed that the proposition will easily carry. If the people give authority for the levying of the tax all of the money so realized will be ex- pended in improvement of school build ings and equipment. Nearly all the schools are overcrowded and more money is urgently needed.
