Lawyer's Narrow Escape

A Ford roadster belonging to the Home Telephone Co. and
driven by Ben H. Dewey was knocked off the Main Street
crossing last Thursday afternoon and the right rear
wheel and the windshield of the machine were smashed.
Attorney Dewey had his hand slightly cut by broken glass
but was not seriously hurt. Two trains were switching at
the time and one had pulled of the crossing when the
other came along and struck the auto as it was driving
across the tracks.

Shortly after the new wheel was put on the machine at
the Maatz Motor Co. attorney Dewey took the car out for
a try out and landed in the ditch on South Ridge near C.
Minderman's Saturday night. The same wheel was broken
again and the axle damaged. Ben has decided that he will
let the pesky thing set in the barn from now on for fear
the Ford Co. will run out of wheels.

When Two Clyde Boys Meet.

While in New Orleans last week Raymond Ayres
accidentally ran across Frank Clapp, just as the latter
was about to leave for the north. Raymond had heard from
his sister, Mrs. Leon Nearhood, that Frank expected to
be in the city and made inquiry at almost every hotel,
but to no avail. He had given up hope of meeting him and
had gone to the railroad station to accompany a friend
who was leaving for Mobile. Frank was on a train that
was ready to leave at the same time but it was so hot in
the coach that he had come out on the platform for a
little airing, when the two boys met. Raymond says the
fifteen minutes he spent with Frank were the happiest he
has had since he went south.
