Someone is going’ to get this morn Thomas Andrew had a narrow es­ cape from death last Saturday morn­ ing when passenger train No. 240 E, bound, hit his automobile as he was coming from the Frank Townsley farm. The accident,was at a private crpasing three and one half miles east o f town., Mr, Andrew had been calling on his son-in-law, Frank Corrigan, and he pulled,onto the track just a few feet in frofit o f the approaching train. He had' no time to escape from the sedan in which he was riding and the engine struck the front part of the machine and rolled the car over and over un­ til it was a mass of wreckage., Mr. Andrew ■was accompanied by his granddaughter, Ruth Dennehey/. Mr, Andrew sustained a broken arm and .bruises. The little girl, aged 7, ,was cut about the fact but not serious The1motor of the automobile was pulled from tke chassis and caused the truck of an express car to leave the rails causing considerable damage to the track. It was’ fortunate that the train was not going at a fast rate of speed. The ‘ train was in charge of Conductor Hunt and Engi­ neer Luke'Daly o f Cincinnati. ,Dr. M, I, Marsh rendered temporary, aid to Mr, Andrew and the grand­ daughter and both were taken to the McClellan hospital but were returned to their home late' in the day.

Mr. Williamson has been superintendent o f the cattle depart­ ment* in connection with the fair for the past five years. ’ Illegal payments and .irregular business ^methods o f the Xenia Township Board of Education has been brpught to light by the exanimation onboard affairs as conducted by Ola P. Gunckel, state examiner from the Bureau o f Accounting who made findings against three members, Horace Anderson, pres­ ident of the board, B. P. Conklin and Frank; Weaver. *The re­ port. shbws that these boardsmembers are stockholders in the Xenja Farmers, Exchange Company and illegal payments made to this company tothl $1,290.14. The startling thing in the report is that Anderson is said to have testified that, Conklin and Weaver were' stockholders in the Xenia Farmers Exchange Co. but that he had sold out his interests February 9, 1924, This statement is said to have been made under oath. The examiner in checking up on this statement secured A statement from Joseph T. Hutchison, president of the com pany that Anderson still holds one share of stock in the company at the present time and other times held other shares which have been transferred to other parties. A penalty o f from one to ten years in the penitentiary is providetl for this offense un­ der the law. , ’ ■ It*is charged that the depository bond is only for $12,000 when it should be for $20,000. Also that the clerk o f the board D, H. Barnes has no bond on file with the county auditor as re­ quired by law. Theymblication o f the report has caused wide-. spread interest over the county in view o f the fact that the Xenia. Township Board has ignored the County Board o f Edu­ cation and has employed teachers without the, proper papers. Some weeks ago a circular letter signed by Mr. Anderson was passed under cover o f night attacking Superintendent H. C* Aulfman and the County Board. Attempt to force hearing of charges by madamus action were denied by Common Pleas Court. . ' , What action will, be taken following, this report,cannot be predicted as responsibility now rests on Prosecutor Marshall. In case he declines to" act it is said the attorney general will be, the next to force return of the illegal payments. Findings listed in, the report .total : $7,092.14, The largest.item whs $3570 illegally,paid to John, Rallantyne in the Xenia City school. Absence'of a regular teaching certificate is given for this finding. His certificate is said to be from another state and not transferred in Ohio.1 , ‘ ‘ # : A finding is also, made agaiiu^Mrs. > Jessie ;V. Wipert for •$9ffi2;00'’fMfi J>y* ; the Xenia’'Township Board , for fio , service,.rendered. &be.'had-'hieeit paid -1 <• $lli> a month for eight and three- fourths months. The payment^was' held illegal. The hoard, has recovered findings , in 1924 of $300 against J. W. Ray as , part payment on a transportation con tract of $770, $470 is still unpaid. A finding of $2,061 against Harold Bay a sbn, for $2,061 mode in 1924 is Un- paid. This Was for transportation of pupils. , ' The report also includes a finding f ■ of $41 against II. S. Noggle, clerk of the Spring Valley Twp. board> to to whom this amount was paid for labor under the name of Albert Hhg- ' ler. It is charged payment was made to, him and turned oyer to Noggle, a- board hicwbdr. This was false certifi­ cate by the clerk and a violation of the law. : George Queary, another Spring Val * ley board toeinher, is held for $76 for rental of a gas engine iii 1925.-This should be returned to the hoard at once says the report.5 It is said the clerk used the name of H. W. Fudge so that Quean's name would not ap­ pear on the books. > Other findings are $3 against Dow- ena McKay, Caesarcreek Twp, $435 against tke Great American Surety Co. in Sugatoreek township fo f the transportation of pupils; $210 against the city school board.
