While driving south on Eighth

ternoon, a Ford truck driven by ].
M. Gavin and having as passengers
his daughterin-aw, Mrs. G.. y.
Gavin, and her eight year old son,
collided with an east bound street

Mr.. Gavin and his daughter-in- law.
Mrs. Gavin was cut across the
forehead and badly injured about

received a scalp wound ana wai
also badly cut about the hands and
arms. The boy, who, with his
grandfather, was not thrown from
the truck, received practically no in
juries according to the attending
physician.
The street car hit the rear of the
track and after dragging it nearly
llteen leet threw it against the
curb. Mrs. Gavin was thrown out
of he truck, falling in front of the
street car, and those who saw the
collision say only the quick use Of
he brakes by the motorman averted
her being run over by the car The
brakes of the street car were used
with such force that the street car
was thrown OFF the truck several
feet
The injured people were immedi-
ately rushed to the Chickasha hos
ptal by Conductor Neal with the
aid of a passing automobile, where
their injuries were attended to, after
which they were taken to their
home several mills out of town,
where it is said they have a truck

The Ford truck was badly danag-
ed, the front wheels being entirely
demolished. Glass was scattered
ten or fifteen feet.
None of the three passengers on
the street car were apparently hurt
other than receiving good polling.

superintendent States Increased
Cost of Supplies Plus Ralses
in Teachers Salaries More
Than Amount Available.

After n twoday session the Grady
county excise board has completed
its work though it will be the latter
part of the week. before all school
districts will know their estimates
allowed for the school work for the
coming year. araording to II. f. AL
len, sounty superintendent.
1t was generally found in all the
districts that the fifteen mills allow
ed by law would not be sufficient
to meet the expenses of a nine
months school, Mr.. Allen pointed
out. He said the shortage is due
to the fact that teachers salaries
have been increased throughout the
entire county, in addition to the in
crease in the cost Of school supplies
and general upkeep.
Because the Oklahoma law speci.
fies that not more than fifteen mills
may be voted for school funds, 1t
tricts to reduce the school term to
five or six months instead of the
usual nine months the school he,rd
stated. The eastern part of the
county was especially hard hit by
this shortage because of the great
amount or untaxabe Indian land In
that section, it was shown.
Some of the districts were very
fortunate in having the additional
tax from the oil and gas pipe line
that has been laid through the coun-
ty, which adds about one4fourth to
the valuation of the districts
through which it passes. This IL
approximately the same taxation re
ceived from the railroads, Mr. All
len declared.
