SIDE OF CONCRETE
BRIDGE WRECKED
EARLY WEDNESDAY
Trailer Shears Off Balustrade
After Breaking Loose
From Tractor
Accident Occurs Near Scene
Where Big Truck Overturned
Last Month

A portion of Bluffton's North
Main street bridge was wrecked
early Wednesday morning when the
heavily loaded trailer of a large
truck-trailer assembly broke loose
and careened into the west balstrade
of the bridge with a crash that
startled residents for several blocks
away.
The accident occurred at 7:40
a. m. No one was injured but the
trailer was badly damaged. 1t
struck the balustrade glancing
blow which probably prevented the
trailer from falling into Big Riley
creek.
The truck and trailer belonging to
the National Transit company of
Lima was driven by Edmund Booher,
4S, of that city. 1t was southbound
at the time of the accident. The
trailer was loaded with heavy auto
machinery parts.
Almost the entire west balustrade
of the concrete bridge was sheared
off as result of the accident and
will require large amount of re-
pairs. Patrolman A. P. Kenney of
Findlay investigated the accident.
The crash Wednesday morning was
only few yards from the scene of
another truck accident which occur
red on January 20 when a big semi
trailer transport truck overturned
on North Main street just north of
the approach to the Riley creek
bridge.
The truck, enroute from Boston
to Dallas, Texas, got out of control
after collision with q passenger
car.

made.
Nationality of the family probably will be
Eastern European, it was pointed out Probab-
ly the family will be Hungarian, Latvian,
Esthonian or some other eastern nationality
behind the Iron curtain, displaced by the
and postwar events.
MANY DISPLACED
Many technically trained men are said to be
among the displaced persons who want to come
to this country, and the demand for them is
reported far less than the supply. Most of
those who have been coming here are farm
laborers for whom there has been a greater
demand in this country.
Action by the Bluffton Presbyterian church
is related to movement by the denomination
as a whole in which attempt is being made
to provide homes in this country for 1000 dis
placed.
Processing and details of placement of the
families are being handled by the Church
World Service.

Allen County, Also
Sunday
County Was Established Febru,
airy II, 1920, Old Records
Disclose
Fort Amanda, Near Lima, Was
Highly Strategic Spot in
War of 1912

Among the distinguished company
which celebrates birthdays in Febru-
ary, you can include Allen county
still going strong at the venerable
age of 130 years.
Fact is, Allen county was estab-
lished February II, 1920, according
to old records yellowed with age in
the court house at Lima. All the
adjoining counties except Auglaize
were established at the same time.
Lands from which Allen county
and 13 other northwestern Ohio
counties were formed were ceded to
the U. S. by the Wyandot and af-
filiated tribes by treaty in September
of 1917. Population of Allen county
initially was too small to justify or
ganization of government, and
for IL years Allen county was at
tached to Mercer county for judicial
purposes.
A portion of the county on the
south was taken away when Aug
laize county was established in 1848
and at the same time certain addi-
tions were made to Allen from Mer-
GER, Van Vert and Putnam counties
Due to adjustments here and there
the boundaries of Allen county pre-.
sent many irregularities and there
are IA corners. The county govern.
ment was organized in June of 1881
Initial point in history of the set
tlement of the county was the build
ing of Ft. Amanda on the wesi
bank of the Auglaize river during
the march of the left wing of Har
rison's army toward the Maumes
Rapids. This was in October, dur
ing the War of 1872. It was a sup
ply fort in the chain that reached

Warmer weather which arrived
Sunday, however, was continuing and
so far this week there has been no
indication of departure from the
spring-like temperatures which have
prevailed in the area throughout the
winter.
Many amateur weather forecast
ers said they believed the Groundhog
was crossed up this year by the late
arrival of the sun, and had again
retired to his home before Old Sol
broke through the overcast.
