When Truck Overturns

Mr.. Harry Wainwright Of Center

state highway department, was very
badly injured last Thursday morn
ing, when the truck in which he
was riding went over a 10 foot en-
bankment, on the road near the

township. John Smith OF this place
was driving, and the accident was
caused when the truck met an
other highway truck, on a raise in
the road, which obstructed the Wis
ion of the driver, and in order to
avoid a head-on collision he pulled
toward the side of the road and in
so doing, went over the bank, COM
pletely turning over. Mr.. Smith es-
capped injury, but Mr.. Wainwright
suffered a fracture of the transverse
processes of the second and third
vertebrae. He also sustained some
injury to his jaw.
He was given first aid in a local

be expected. However he will likely
be in the hospital for some weeks.

Fred Griest Was Murdered

Last week this paper announced
the death of Fred Griest, So, former
resident of Hopewell locality 1t
was stated that Griest was shot
Tuesday evening of last week, while
sitting in parked car at Warren.
Details of his death were lacking at
that time. Through Mr. Charles
Finley of Malta township, who is a
first cousin of the deceased, and
who received a paper from Warren
with an account of his death, it. is
learned that he was murdered. Two
theories are advanced. One is that
he was the victim of mistaken iden-
tity; and the other is that the pair
who did the shooting were automo-
bile thieves and shot Mr. Griest
when he resisted. 1t is stated that,
according to eye witnesses, Griest
was sitting behind the wheel of the
parked auto when two men walked
up from the rear to the left front
door of the car and jerked it open.
Griest screamed and there were two
shots fired, and then the gunmen
fed and disappeared in the dark
ness, through back lots. While two
shots were fired, it seems that but
one took effect, which was in his
heart. He died when being rushed
to the hospital. Griest and his son
Ronald had been at grove in the
evening, returning to Warren about
10 O'Clock. Ronald was an usher at
theatre, and had to remove the
displcy advertisements in front Of
car and parked it at the spot where
the murder occurred, walking to the
theatre, while his father waited in
the auto. The youth was unaware
of what had happened until he re-
turned to where the machine was
parked 1t is said that checking for
possible motive, police learned
that Griest was a home-loving man,
well liked by his neighbors and by
fellow workmen of the steel plant
where he was employed. His wife
was visiting in Springfield at the
time of the tragedy.
The Griest family are of the be-
lief that auto theft was possibly the
motive, since it was practically a
new machine, and it is believed that
when Mr.. Griest refused to get out
of the car and let them have it, the
gunmen, angered at his opposition,
shot him.
Police have offered $500 re-
ward for information leading to the
arrest and conviction of the killers.

HEAVY CLOUDBURST HERE
4.55 INCHES RAIN FALLS

Perhaps the heaviest downpour
of rain ever to visit this place was
that Of last Friday night and early
Saturday morning, when 4.55
inches of rain fell in little more
than two hours. During Friday ev-
ening gentle shower fell, and
along about 1890 the rain of a
sudden began coming down in
sheets, and did not let up for about
an hour and ten minutes. Streams
that had been practically dry, were
soon raging torrents, flooding low
lands along the stream, and doing
much damage. The worst damage
was in Brookside addition, through
which Mcconnell run flows. This
stream was the highest on record.
A number of buildings were washed
from their foundations; gardens
and lawns were completely ruin
ed, and practically every cellar in
that locality was flooded with wa
ter and mud. The barn of Mrs.
Harley Lawrence was moved on it's
foundation, and the water swept w.
F. Buchanan's buildings where his
workshop is located, damaging the
machinery, etc. The Leeper field
was practically all under water. At
the mouth of the Mcconnell run an
unusual ''prank" was played. Here
the river bank was washed away
from the river edge back to the
bridge, and the bridge was partial
ly undermined. The soil here is of
quicksand formation and hole per-
haps 100 feet wide and rs feet long
was scoOped out, undermining sew
eral large trees, which fell into the
water
In Brookside addition which was
Hooded were some of the finest
lawns and gardens in this locality,
and these were laid waste. In
many alleys were washed gullies,
and many cellars over town were
flooded. The fire engines were kept
busy for more than day pumping
water out Of cellars. Although many
men from Camp Morgan had been
given leave of absence to go home
over the week end, those remaining
volunteered to a man to assist in
cleaning up the flooded districts,
giving most valuable aid. Their
services were deeply appreciated.
The storm center seemed to be
near McConnelsville, and the heav-
lest rain was at the headwater Of
McCOnnelps run. Out four or five
miles there was but gentle rain
not enough to start streams flowing
The public square here was a
lake of water, and the streets were
flowing streams.
Malta escaped with but little
damage, other than sand and soil
was washed over some streets; and
the easements of the j. w. Barn
hart and James Mellor residence
properties were flooded Thursday
the hail did considerable damage to
VIM. Huck's growing truck crops
down the river, and like damage to
other crops down the river.
1t is interesting to note that in
contrast to the fall of ASS inches
of rain in about two and a half
hours, as noted above, back in
March, 1913-the time of the great
food, only 4.43 inches of rain fell
here in five days.

May Change South River Road

Officials from the state highway
department were here Monday rela-
tive to the construction of a new
bridge at the mouth of Mcconnell
run. on the river road, which was
damaged in the flood Friday night.
While here they also gave some
consideration looking to the propo-
sition of changing this road, so that
instead of following its present
course, it would leave the river road
near the fair grounds and take to
the right and join route No. II at
Walter Deedrick's filing station.
This change would do away with a
new bridge. to replace the one dam
aged in last weeks food
