LARGE TRUCK OVERTURNS
ON VIRGINIA HIGHWAY

A huge truck, loaded with nearly
200 barrels of fish, turned over on the
highway about a mile and a half east
of Cape Charles and blocked traffic
until it could be righted and brought
into town by a towing truck. The
truck was the property of the Yatman
Company, of Asbury Park, N. j., and
was operated by nineteen-year-old
Robert Yatman.
The truck was en- route to Norfolk
with insured cargo, and Yatman is
said to have admitted that he dozed at
the wheel after his allnight drive and
when the truck ran off the road the
Jolt awakened him. AS he attempted
to right up the machine it went out of
balance and capsized cross-wise the
highway.
The truck was brought to Cape
Charles, where temporary repairs
were made and it was then driven
back to New Jersey. The damage
is estimated to have been approxi-
mately $500.

Company C, of the Maryland Nation
al Guard, of Cambridge, was announc-
ed last week by First Lieutenant Will

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
ONANCOCK VOTES DOWN
PLANT OWNERSHIP

By a vote of 1872 to SIS, the citizens
of Onancock defeated the proposal for
a municipality owned electric light and
power plant there on Tuesday last.
The election was a quiet one, five
less ballots having been cast than in
the election for Mayor and Town Coun
cilmen, which was held on Tuesday,
June 18th, just three weeks prior. In
that election there were 1872 votes
cast, while Tuesday only 1877 went to
the polls to cast their ballots either
for or against the issue.
Besides the smaller vote on Tues
day, it was said there were at least
forty additional registered and quail
fled voters for the election above
those qualified for the local municipal
contest held a few weeks ago. This
means that nearly fifty voters failed
to register their approval or disap-
prevail for the issue which had been
discussed there for several months.
The contest on Tuesday was to de-
eide whether or not Onancock should
enter into contract with the Fair
banks Morse Co., for installation of
an electric power plant there, which
called for the payment of the plant in
Is or more years from revenue pro-
duced, after which same became the
property of the Town of Onancock.
The contract called for an outlay of
$127,65S in revenue certificates.
The judges of election were: c. L.
Northam, C. c. Walker and A. J.
Davis.
