cause of several accidents, the most
serious reported happening just east
of the Diamond Deli church. Arthur
Paulen, son of John Paulen, and
two young ladies were driving in q
covered buggy when the wind blew
the buggy over, throwing the occu-

horses so they ran away, demolishing
the buggy.
The occupants of the rig escaped
with plenty of bruises, but only one
broken bone. One of the young
ladies had her arm broken at the
wrist. They came to DR.. Shideler's
Office whore the DR.. soon made her as
comfortable as possible by reducing
the fracture.
