The residents OF Union avenue were
somewhat startled at $40 yesterday py
n strange noise that somewhat resempled
thunder and upon looking out OF doors
and windows found that II was a mon
ster automobile going through the street

One dog was killed and one was so badly
hurt that Il will probably be killed.
That someone was not injured was sim
ply a matter Of luck, for had a team been
driven from any of the side streets into
the avenue,it would have been smashed to
atoms.

The speaker, seeing the condition OF the
man. replied: Work means that you may
get something to eat. somethinn to drink,a
place 10 sleep, and some appear to get
