Wind Sweeps Path.
Through GAINESVILLE

GAINESVILLE. Ohio. Sept. 2s.-rhe
main street of this city suffered q
property loss Of perhaps 100000 in
a half minute when a "twister" wind
storm swept directly over the business
section and unroofed a score Of bust
ness houses and then passed on into
the country east OF here, where it
spent its force.
That no one was killed or seriously
injured is miraculous, considering
that Main street was filled with PEE
destrians going to or from their noon
lunches and school children from the
Pioneer high school at the head of
Main street. who had just been dis
missed.
In less than a half minute Main
street was a OF tangled debris,
huge slabs of tin roofing piling up
twenty feet high and burying several
autos beneath them.
The only persons seriously injured
were Roy Bull and w. P. Gramlich,
both OF whornt@were struck by falling
slate and bricks while riding in their
autos, which were wrecked. 4ms Ia
City lights and power and the tele-
phone service wer cut off throughout
the city as the result Of wires being
broken by falling roofs The tangled
wires set of three fire alarms and a

UTAH MOTOR
VEHICLE LAW.
Owners of Automobiles Should
FamiIiarize Themselves With
Provisions.

Public notice has been given that
on and after the first day of July
the Utah Motor Vehicle law will be
enforced. The attention of our
readers is called to the following
provisions which will be enforced
turnout the state:
Section 3o72-It is unlawful 10
operate passenger car, truck,
trailer or motorcycle without hav-
ing proper license for same.
Section 3976-Each vehicle must
be equipped with adequate breaks
in good working order. Every We
hicle, including tractors, using the
highway during the period from
one-half hour after sunset to
one-half hour before the sunrise
will be required to have mounted
on the right and left sides of the
front a pair of lamps of equal can
die power.
Section 3o7S-When one vehicle
is overtaking another going in the
same direction, the operator of the
vehicle in the rear shall signal with
his horn and the vehicle in front
shall promptly give the right-of-
way to the approaching vehicle.
Vehicles carrying poles or other
objects which project more than
five feet from the rear are required
to carry red flag in the day time

ply with the law when they know
the requirements which they can
receive by communicating with the
county commissioners, sheriff or
the secretary of state State officers
have issued instructions to the
sheriffs of the various counties to
be active in the enforcement OF
the law referred to.
Sheriff Leigh of Iron county
requests that the owners of motor
vehicles report any infringement or
violation of the law. especially that
part referring to children driving
motor vehicles Of any kind.
