Two Incidents

There are two incidents coming
from Woods town this week that are
worthy of note. One relates to cou-
pie of carpenters, who constructed a
box for meal wagon. They built
the box in the back room of the Wes-
ton meat market, and were compelled
to tear out the end of the building
when the time came to remove the
box, which was larger than the build
ing. The other incident is of minor
Importance. 1t pertains to a set of
handmade, humane harness which
bob" McGrew uses on his driving
