Man     electrocuted     when     truck     hits     lines

        A Zanesville man was killed Friday when the dump truck he was operating at Simco Peabody Inc.'s Broken Aro Mine on County Road 6 came into contact with power lines, according to news release from the Coschocton County Sheriff''s Department.

        According to the release, Raymond L. Harper, 41, apparently was electrocuted at about 2 p.m. when the raised bed of his dump truck struck Simco Peabody power lines carrying 12,500 volts of electricity.

        Harper was driving a truck owned by Marple Brothers Trucking of Zanesville and was dumping dirt.  Fire destroyed the truck.

        In a written statement to deputies, Mike R. Swingle of Crooksville, who was driving another truck at the scene, said that after Harper's truck struck the power lines, Harper, who was in the truck, opened his door and grabbed the lever that lowers the truck bed.

        Swingle said he thought Harper then jumped to the ground, but Sheriff Deputy David Wilson, who was the first officer at the scene, told The Tribune he believes this is when Harper was electrocuted.  He said Harper was thrown 10-15 feet.

        Harper probably did not know an electrical current was running through the truck, Wilson said.  According to him, it is possible Harper did not think the power lines were functional.

        The Coshocton Emergency Squad transported Harper to Coshocton County Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival, a CCMH official said.  She said Harper's body has been released to Bryan Funeral Home of Zanesville.

        Firefighters from the Conesville and South Tuscarawas fire departments extinguished the fire that destroyed the truck, a 1972 Ford.  Coshocton County REACT also was on the scene, according to deputies.

        Wilson said he was told by a Simco Peabody official that Federal Mine Safety personnel will be notified of the incident because it happened on Simco Peabody property.

car    wreck

kills    man

        James A. Hinton, 26, of Lowell Rt. 2* was killed following a one-car accident at 7:45 p.m. Wednesday on Washington County 60, Adams Twp., according to a dispatcher at the Ohio Highway Patrol.

        Hudson was the only person in the car.

        Tarcella Hendershot, Marietta Memorial Hospital nursing shift supervisor, said this morning Hinton was dead on arrival at Memorial.  He was transported to the hospital by the Lowell Emergency Squad.

        The dispatcher reported that Hinton was going east on Washington County 60 when he drove off the left side of the road and struck several pilings, which caused the vehicle to overturn.  Hinton was not ejected from the heavily damaged car.

        The accident, which still is under investigation, occurred in a relatively straight stretch of road, but it was foggy and roads were damp, the dispatcher said.  A blood test will be taken, but it will be awhile before the results are known, the dispatcher said.

        Hinton was not swearing a seat belt when the accident occurred, the dispatcher said.

James   R.   Stephen     Dies

      by CORA  HUCKINS

and MARGIE  SCHLAGETER

        DAYTONA  BEACH -- A stock car racing enthusiast, sportsman and area businessman who was actively involved in civic and political affairs, James R. Stephen, owner of the former Stephens Pontiac, died Sunday in his home, 19 Elizabeth Lane, after a lengthy illness.  He was 68.

        Mr. Stephen was a member of the board of directors of Sun Bank of Volusia County since his appointment in October 1965, when it was Commercial Bank.  Hank Coleman, president and chief executive officer of Sun Bank, when contacted Sunday, said,  "Jim surely will be missed, especially within our organization.  He was one of our guiding forces."

        Mr. Stephen's interest and involvement in stock car racing dates back many years.  He was a member of the board of the International Speedway Corp. and sponsored Fireball Roberts in his early days of racing along with many other drivers.  In 1962 he sponsored the No. 22 Pontiac, which won the Daytona 500, driven by Roberts and prepared by Smokey Yunick.  Roberts died in a racing accident in July 1964.

        Bill France Jr., president and chief executive officer of International Speedway Corp. said of Stephen, "He was a great friend of the Speedway corporation and as a board member, his superb business judgment made a great contribution to the speedway.  He was a fair man and a leading businessman in our community, who has been actively involved in civic and political activities.  He was very civic minded."

        Although he never ran for office Mr. Stephen took part in the local, state and national democratic political scene.  He and E. William Crotty, chairman of the executive committee of the Democratic National Committee, and the board of directors, were aligned politically and in various business ventures. "Jim was just a class guy," Crotty said Sunday.

        The two were frequent guests at the White House, according to Crotty, and were among those invited as guests of President and Mrs. Carter to the swearing in ceremony when Edmund Muskie became secretary of state.

       Mr. Stephen was on Mondale's national finance board during his campaign for the U.S. presidency.

       Born in Summerfield, Ohio, Mr. Stephen came here in 1949 from Fort Lauderdale, where he was in the automobile business.  He bought and operated the Pontiac dealership as Stephens Pontiac.  His nephew, Ray Ferguson entered the business in 1966, at which time it became known as Stephens Ferguson Pontiac and Mercedes.  In 1975, Ferguson bought out his uncle.

        Mr. Stephen at one time was one of the country's leading General Motors distributors with dealerships in Baltimore, Atlanta and Daytona Beach.

        Mr. Stephen was a member of Westminister by the Sea Presbyterian Church and served on the building committee when the church was built.

        He served on numerous other boards and was active in a large number of other organizations.

        Survivors include his wife, Lana; a son, James Jr., Daytona Beach; two daughters, Diane Brown, Lake Forest, Ill., and Susan Graham, Atlanta; two granddaughters; two sisters, Geneva Ferguson, Ormond Beach, and Emma Besancon, Milford, Mich.; and two brothers, Richard, Willington [sic ? -Wellington], and George H., Fort Lauderdale.  Haigh Black, Daytona Beach, is in charge.
