Friday, 31 Mar 1916--Carl Duncan had his Overland car more or less damaged in a wreck in the 6-mile lane near Moberly Friday evening of last week, being run into head-on by a Ford. The latter was occupied by three Centralia men, all of whom were drunk. When he saw the Ford weaving from one side of the road to the other he got as far to the right as possible but didn't stop, thinking that the Ford would miss him, as the latter had practically the full width of the road. But it didn't. As a result of the collision, Duncan's car had a fender damaged and a front wheel knocked out of line. The Ford had a wheel knocked off, an axle sprung, radiator and lamps smashed and otherwise damaged. Mr. Duncan's repair bill of $15 was paid by the Centralia men. The Ford was making about 20 miles an hour and the Overland 12 when the smash occurred and several minutes after everything had come to a standstill, one of the Ford occupants, who was very drunk, raised up from the floor of the car long enough to enquire the cause of the stop.

Friday, 31 Mar 1916--W. E. EASTWOOD FOR ASSESSOR--The readers of this paper will find the name of William E. Eastwood as a candidate for the nomination for the office of assessor of Randolph county at the coming August primary election , on the democratic ticket. Mr. Eastwood was born in Moberly forty-five years ago and has spent his entire life in Sugar Creek and Prairie townships. His father, Jas. Eastwood, was reared near Milton and his mother, Mary Mason, sister of Joe Mason, was born and reared in Prairie township. Mr. Eastwood needs little introduction to the public, as he is known throughout the greater part of the county, but this is the first time he or any of his immediate family have asked for a county office, and he asks for this office for but one term. Mr. Eastwood is well qualified to hold this position. He received his education in the county schools supplemented by a course at the Warrensburg Normal. For a number of years he was one of the county teachers. He was afterwards engaged in the fuel and concrete business in Moberly. The thorough and upright manner in which he conducted his business made him many friends among his customers. The voters of Randolph county will make no mistake in casting their votes for so worthy a man.
