MERCANTILE TAXES
The County Treasurer's office yes-
terday estimated that there is approxi-
mately 1,300 persons in the county who
have failed to comply with the law in
taking out mercantile taxes and issued
a warning that all those failing to do
so will be liable to prosecution. Thus
far 5400 persons in the county have
taken out licenses.
Miss Maude Haldeman, of Marietta,
county treasurer pointed out yesterday
that all persons, not paying their tax
before September 1, are liable to pros-
ecution but any persons who have re-

prior to May 1, may be excused by re-
porting to her office.
The practice of mailing letters to de-

Makes Miraculous Escape
Just how Ralph Wahl, of town, es-
caped with his life after being dragged,
rolled, knocked or carried seventy-two
feet when struck by an automobile in
front of the Bulletin office Saturday
noon is a mystery.
Ralph lives with his mother on
Marietta street and was carrying news-
papers. He was standing aside Roy
Sheaffer’s car on the south side of
Main street, conversing with Mr.
Sheaffer.
Without looking west, he started
across the street to H. A. Darren-
kamp’s when he was struck by a car
wheels sixty-six feet.
Whether Wahl was knocked, rolled,
carried or dragged is not known but
he was picked up in a semi-conscious
condition seventy-two feet from where
he was struck. He was bleeding free-
ly from the nose and quickly taken to
the office of Dr. D. C. Stoner. An ex-
amination showed a slight fracture of
the nose and a few brush burns and
bruises. Just how the lad escaped
serious injury remains a mystery.
Chief Elmer Zerphey investigated
the accident and found it was un-
avoidable. While the driver of the car
