over near Middletown as well. Last

Oil splashed on the lantern and an ex-

were burned so bad that the skin fell off,
and Mrs. Rudy's hands were burned into
blisters. A large Overland car in the
garage, where the explosion occurred,
was run out of the building, but the

Autos In Headon Collision.
Accident Occurs In Daylight
On 5O-FOOt Road.

Last Sunday afternoon two automobiles
met on the State road close to st. An
thongs church, Mt. St. Mary's College.
Both were on the same side of the road
and neither stopping, collision occurred.
resulting in both machies being consider
ably damaged. Luckily no one was in
jured, though badly frightened. One of
the cars belonged to Mr.. Clarke Shaffer.
of near Mt. St. Mary's, and was in
charge of his son. The other car, new
Chevrolet, belonged to Mr.. Lewis Troxell,
of Graceham, and was driven by his son
and contained other members of his
family. From current reports Mr..
Shaffer was occupying the wrong side OF
the road, which at that place is particu-
larly wide. Word was sent the Blue
Mountain Garage and employees there
went to the assistance of Mr.. Troxell.
His daughters were picked up by Mr..
Ray Weddle and taken to their home in
Graceham.
Monday a warrant was issued by JUS
tice Rob't Cadow for the arrest of Ar
thur Shaffer, the charge being that of
violating the State Road law. The case
was heard Monday evening, and accord
ing to testimony given, the Troxell car
was within five feet of the right of the
road when struck by the Shaffer car.
After hearing the testimony Shaffer was
found guilty and fined $40 and costs.

For County Commissioner.

As nominee, advocating square deal
for all and thorough business and eco
nomical administration of the affairs of
the county, my defeat in the general
election six years ago was only accom-
plished by very small majority, not
withstandng the Democratic landslide
at that time.
Having again yielded to the earnest
solicitations of my friends throughout
the county, | am a candidate for the
office of County Commissioner, subject
to the Republican primary election Sep
tember II, 1917, believing with my friends
in the principles which advocate and in
the justice of the claims that the eastern
part of the county from which no Com
missioner has been elected for SO years
is entitled to Commissioner. AS a life
long citizen, taxpayer and active Repub-
lican, who has never held office, re-
spectfully ask your support.
