Vehicle Crashes
Into Coal Train
South OF Town
COlOred Victims
Escape With Only
Minor Injuries

Walter E. Martin, Al, and w. III.
McMautern, So, residents of Charles
ton, w. Va, escaped with only min
or bruises, Tuesday morning, at 2
o'clock, when they struck a north
bound coal train on u. S. route 81,
one mile south of Caldwell, near the
A. L. Schafer home.
Martin and McMautern, both
colored, were enroute to Canton at
the time of the accident.
Sheriff Clayton Mckee investjgat-
ed the accident and blamed it OF the
dense fog which enveloped the
highway, obscuring the train,
equipped with the regulation lights.
McMautern received cut on the
head and Martin was uninjured.
When lad, McMautern was in
volVed in another train collision and
lost his right arm.
They remained at the county jail
until Tuesday morning, returning to
their home in Charleston by bus.
The two men were driving 1886
Buick, which was completely demol-
ished by the impact. 1t was later
towed to the Ziler garage on Miller
street.
This is the second accident to oc-
cur within the week in Noble coun-
ty, involving freight train and
auto. The Earl ARCHER accident oc-
Cured on the Noble county line at
Bailey's Mills crossing. The Archer
family likewise escaped serious in
jury, but the car, as pictured, was
badly damaged.
Sheriff Mckee issued a warning
to- Noble county motorists today
that they should observe more eau
tion at each and every one Of the
railroad crossings in this county.
Increased traffic on the railroads
has resulted in more trains crossing
the lines, particularly coal and
freight.
Local motorists have been used
to little or no traffic on these lines
for several years and are not OBJ
serving the usual precautions, from
force of habit.
Sheriff Mckee joins with other
officials in urging the public to drive
carefully and observe all traffic
signs.

our Amendments
Appear On Ballot
November Election
Proposal Asks
That Money Be
Spent On Roads

Columbus, Oct. 9, (OP)-Every
Noble county voter should have in
his hands by this week one of the
million and one half publicity
pamphlets mailed out by the Secre-
tary of State explaining the pro-
posed amendment to the state con-
stitution to restrict gas tax money
to highway purposes.
These pamphlets were addressed
and mailed to every one of the
county's voters by a group of 700
workers in the state office building
here. Names of the voters were OBJ
tanned from precinct poll books
sent here for this purpose.
The proposal which will be voted
Der was placed on the ballot by in
itiative petition. 1t proposes to
amend the state constitution by
adopting a new section to be known
as Section 5a of Article XII.
This amendment simply says,
according to the argument in the
pamphlet, you want your automo-
bile license and gas money to go for
better roads and streets. Claiming
that Ohio's highways are behind the
times, proponents point out that
millions of gas tax dollars have been
spent for other purposes.
Opponents of the proposal argue,
in the pamphlet, that this amend
ment is not needed since the SIS,
100000 collected annually from the
one cent per gallon liquid fuel tax is
appropriated by the legislature from
the general revenue fund to the de-
partment of highways.
The tax was originally enacted for
poor relief and schools.
The Noble county voters will vote
| yes or no on the soldiers bonus, in
creasing the term of the probate
judge in this and other counties and
creating a state Sinking Fund
! Commissioners"
At the national convention of the
AMVETS, held in Columbus the
past week, this organization adopted
a resolution urging the voters not
to support the soldiers bonus at
this time.
In Brokfield township, the voters
will have the additional renewal of
the proposed tax for the benefit of
Brookfield local school district The
tax levy will be at a rate not ex-
ceeding three mills for each one
dollar of valuation, over a period of
three years.
J. Kyle Walkenshaw, clerk of the
Noble county election board, is pre-
pairing notices to be mailed out this
week, selecting judges and clerks
! for the coming election.
Absent voters ballots are also
ready at the election board, having
been delivered this week by The
| Journal.
