RHODA NEWTON INSTANTLY
KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT

Miss Rhoda Newton, aged %
years, was instantly killed in an
automobile accident Sunday after
noon about o'clock, on the river
road, at the Charles Clark farm,
near the site of the old children's
home. Miss Newton, of Malta, who
was employed at the City res
taurant here. in company with Miss
Susan McCleary, VIM. Pennebaker
and Russell Winner, all of Duncan
Falls, was driving up the river road
in a Chevrolet coach. It is stated
that they were travelling at fast
rate of speed, and were on slight
curve, when the car left the road to
the right and grazed stump with
the left fender, which caused the
machine to tip to the right and
strike sycamore tree, about foot
lin diameter. The tree struck the
windshield on the right side, and
from that place back the car was
almost cut in two, being split wide
|open. Miss Newton and Pennebak-
er were in the front seat, and Mr..
Pennebaker was driving.
Coroner Carl Miller was called,
and found that Miss Newton's neck
was broken and that she was cut
some about her head and face, and
had a deep cut in her back. The
latter was believed to have been
made by piece of glass. The body
was brought here to the Miller un-
|dertaking parlor, and the others,
all badly injured, were rushed to
Bethesda hospital, GAINESVILLE. A To-

Miss Newton was a daughter of
Wesley and Rosa Mos;er Newton,
and was born in Marion township.
She had attended high school at
Westland, and had been taking a
course, preparatory
to entering a hospital to take
nurses training, expecting to leave
in about three weeks. Besides her
parents who reside in Penn town
ship, she leaves the following broth
ers and sisters: George Newton of
Chesterhill; Mrs Silvia Carney. Ur-
bana; Mrs. Clara Howard, Chester
hill; Charles, Earl, Ulda, Ola, Wilda
and Kenneth Newton, all of the
home. One brother died in infancy.
Miss Newton's pleasing person
ality and kindly ways endeared her
to all with whom she had come into
contact, and no one knew her, but
to love her.
Funeral services were held Tues
day afternoon at the Chesterhill
Methodist Episcopal church, and in
tefment was made in Chesterhill
cemetery.
The others of the party, as stat
ed, were all badly hurt. The driver,
it would seem. was the least injur-
ed. Miss McCleary and Mr.. Winner
were injured about the head, and
all suffered much from shock. Win
ner, the owner OF the machine, is
son of L. R. Winner of this place.
He is employed with the steel mill
at Philo. The traffic on the road
where the accident occurred, was
very Heavy Sunday, and il was neces-
sary for the sheriff and other local
officers to go to the scene, in order
to keep the roadway open. Hun
dreds stopped to view the scene OF
the wreck. The machine was prac-
tically demolished, and how any OF
the occupants of it escaped death
seems almost miraculous.

vealed that the boys carried on their
depredatiOns in sort of gangs-for
example, three boys would enter a
place, and the next time one Of the
three and two others would commit
the offense, etc.. until the nine were
seemingly about equally involved.
and guilty to the same. extent. The
other six OF the boys had never been
before the court, and as is the GUS
tom. they are to be given another
chance. They are to be held as
wards of the court and are to be un-
der strict probation; must be home
of nights by 9 o'clock; and the gang
must be broken up, is the order of

James Gray Dies Suddenly

James Gray, who had been prac-
tically lifelong resident of McCon-
nelsville,: died very suddenly and
unexpectedly Friday morning about
g O'Clock. His death occurred at
the Morgan county fair grounds,
where he and some others were
and where he had gone for the pur-
pose of exercising Bonnie Lee, the
race horse owned by Carl Bow1es OF
Stockport, and of which Mr.. Gray
had charge. He had driven around
the track and was seated in his
sulky, when he suddenly dropped
the lines and whip and slumped,
falling backward to the ground. A
physician summoned stated that
death had undoubtedly come from a.
heart attack, and that he was dead
before striking the ground. He had
apparently been in about his usual
health, and we understand had not
previously suffered any attacks sim
liar to that which caused his death,
though he had been rather feeble
for some time. He was porn near
Unionville, and on June 20 last
reached his 18th birthday
The deceased is survived by his
wife who was Matte Rouse; a
daughter, Mrs. Albert Miller, and
son Raymond Gray, all of McCon-
nelsville. A son Joseph, the oldest
of his children, died in early child
hood. A marked characteristic of
Mr.. Gray was his affection for his
family. The late Mrs. Lucinda
Barkhurst of McConnelsville, wife
of the late Capt. John w. Bark
hurst, was his sister.
James Gray had been for some
years a member of the Methodist
Protestant church here, and was
devoted and faithful in his interest
and attendance there. Funeral SER
vices were held at the residence
