' G, A . Shroades, accompanied by Michael Ryan, highway foreman, were driving towards Cedarville. A s they near the Chitty farm they were a- bofut to meet the machine o f Amos Frame and family and Misses Annie Huff and Jean Morton. With only about’ fifty feet o f space between them John Byrd, colored, a mechanic in the Swiggart garage, Xenia, attempted to drive between the approaching’ automobiles at* a high fate o f speed. Seeing that he could not make it and was to hit the Frame car, he held back and rammed directly into the Shrodes sedan and* then swipped the Frame cap. , Mr. Shrodes could not control his machine and it went to the ditch with great force but no one was seriously injured. Mr. Shrodes sustained a cut on the arm and Mr. Ryan a bruise on the head, There was no one injured in the Frame car, 'The three machines were more or less damaged, so much so that they were put out o f commission. Sheriff Sharp was called but no action has been taken. Witnesses say that it was nothing more than a case o f wreckless driving on the part o f Byrd, Blackmore Indicted ■By Grand Jury Crosby B. Blackmore, who shot and cut the throat o f Mrs. Anna Smith on the Andrew farm, June 30, was indicted by the grand jury Monday, on two counts, one fo r shooting with intent to kill and euttiiig with in­ tent to kill. Blackmore and Smith, the husband, were co-tenants. The trouble started when Blackmore de­ manded two gold coins that he had given Mrs. Smith to keep for him.

We are in. a wonderous age of reformation—in Greene county, as fast as the Legion boys hear o f the underhanded attack made on their organization they will resent it in no uncertain terms and treat it as it should be treated. One o f the things that is pinking this campaign more or less interesting is the manner in which deputyships were so bountifully offered four years ago in the sheriff race. The reaction from those promises now has a biting effect, * m • m Boss Marshall has accepted orders and domes out With an ;endoranment for Myers Cooper, the Cincinnati, millionaire, Who Hynicka o f Cincin­ nati, and Matsche, Cleveland, want for governor.

In an instant the father fell and’ the boy is said to have kicked his father in the face. B y this time Woos­ ley grappled with young Andrews and prevented him using the gun again. The gun belonged to M'oosley but had been loaned to kill crows. Andrews' secured his wife and the old automobile, » Brisco, and started away. Clark county authorities in- ■ formed Greene and Montgomery o f. ficers to be on the lookout. The first report was that a son o f Woosley was Wanted and later' changed to young Andrews. By this time the boy had^ passed through Cedarville on his way 1 towards Xenia and Dayton.

Says Time Is I&ight For Making Change In Sheriffs Office — litis Daugkertyistn Ed. Dean expresses himself as one much interested in the can­ didacy o f Ohm^r Tate fo r Sheriff at the coming primary election on August 10th. Mr, Dean thinks we have reached the time when there should be tome new blood Injected in that office. Conditions the past four years have no* toon what fheyahould be*in a county such as this, * Mr. Dean says that lie is satisfied that, Mr. Tate has all the qual­ ification? fo r the duties efi sheriff,He Will not only give hint his sup­ port at the polls bat expects fqicnd his aid in interesting others to do the same. Ho is nl?o o f theopinion that Greene county has had enough o f the Daugherty brand o f political management and wants to see the Daugherty element eliminated. At Paper Mill Joe Kennon, paper mill employee,'was injured Saturday morning when a big rafter fell against him. while he with other employees were taking the old roof part o f the mill. Seeing that the piece was going to hit him and would probably knock him to the cement floor 18 fee t below, he held to a rod. In doing so the piece hit him on the arm and hands and- cut one arm and mashed the fingers on an­ other, Dr. J. O. Stewart dressed the wounds, taking seven stitches to close the cutx Charles Shepherd In Mayo Hospital i — 1 A <. . 4 Mr. Charles Shepherd o f Chicago, well known here* was operated .upon several days ago at the Mayo hospital for goitre.

Cooper resides in Cin­ cinnati. * * a , • The political’ bosses from the largo cities are much concerned over the results obtained *from the primary system o f making nominations. The bosses want to do the job fo r you. They abhorr the great cost in con­ nection with the primary to get a nomination fo r at state or federal o f­ fice. They want you to continue the primary, but to select delegates to a state convention. The bosses will then do the rest with the aid o f the delegates. That’s what at! this cry is about the primary. I f you would have the bosses make your nominations, sign a petition so that the legislature cun pass such a bill as the bosses want—whether it suits you or not. It is plain how Representative R . D. Williamson stands’ on this question. He is out with an opeq statement. Our Scofflaw State Senator ( ? ) L. T, Marshall is making no public an­ nouncement!!. He get? his orders from tlio liberal bosses in CuIumbUs. It was his primary bill that was defeat­ ed tin the last legislature. A s a ci­ tizen and votor you have a right to know how he stands on this question. • * * The Herald has put many question to Boss Marshall fo r an answer. Not once has he taken recognition of them. There is a reason and we real* izo that one d f the rules o f criminal law practice is that no defendant can be expected to answer any question that might incriminate himself. We have one more question that is in our opinion Worth an answer o f some sort. - Mr. Marshall; “Did you or did you not, receive $50 to secure a release o f a convicted bootlegger any time during the past y ea r? " Of this sum did you, or did you not, divide this sum with any county official to se­ cure the telente o f any convicted bootlegger?" * » • a ( An unprintable story is now in cir­ culation that reflects on the American Legion, It Was intended to be passed only among Xenia ministers to influence them in the coming primary. When the Herald heard o f the story we immediately began to trace the origin o f it ahd the exact purpose, As nothing could be said about tho char­ acter o f one o f the candidates fo r sheriff, the next move was to indite the American Lsgion, To the credit o f the ministers we are proud to say they ignored the story and as one said it was “ political propaganda" The story was traced back to a political headquarter* on the second floor o f | the Allen building. It is certain that ter drop. We made no Charge that the Sheriff Was giving but the tips - but tbe-leak was coming from that office, It was tho Sheriff's duty to set this own house m order and the double crossing he i? getting in present day political deals,( ambng his supposed friends, is the limit. The Sheriff ■is now getting a dose o f the same brand o f dishonest, methods whether he is aware o f it or not. r ^ ■ * • • Heretofore H, E. Schmidt has been much o f an issue in county primary elections The reformers have always used H. E. as the “ horrible example". Since Boss Marshall .was a guest of honor at tho George Poor liquor party, in private quarters at the Deshler hotel, Columbus, some months ago, and H* E. was a guest also, you do hear *o much about the former boss. Marshall has never ventured a denial that he was not an honored guest at that party. H. E. says nothing. The relationship of the two must be far more cordial than in former years. Winle divided on some candidates both are supporting John Baughn for sheriff. Neither deny it. Neither are backing Tate. This situation has put’ many Xenl&na hack o f the. Tflte can­ didacy. Xenia Attorney Died Monday Harry C. Armstrong, aged '59, fo r many years a practicing attorney in this County, died at-bis home in Xenia Monday evening, a fte r’ an illness o f several months, He was the son o f John M. and Esther Allison Armstrong and was graduated from the Xenia high school in 1882 and from LaFay- ette College, Pennsylvania, in 1886.

Heat Records Being Changed This Year , The heat o f the past few days has sent everyone to the shade that could possibly taka advantage o f it.
