In his home at 1913 Third street north

nursing several bruises and vowing that
he will be wise in the future and not
let a propensity for adventure lead him

He supposed that the automobile had
sense enough to stand still when the
power turned of 50 he failed to be

his lack OF wisdom.

he was travelling down X street at

beholding It rapidly disappearing down
the street. Then he started to chase

How far he might have run had he

unfortunately Joseph started eXHeri-

straight into the obstruction. The
chauffeur jumped and landed unniIpt,

The cry has gone forth that the

that they have not had fair deal.
That before county officials were

words, county officials have done their
duty in compliance with their oath,
when according to some implied prom
Use they. should have violated their

the blind pigger is greater than the
