Doueherty.
| While starting his auto in Mason
| City one evening recently Walter Null
lin, of Dougherty, met with rather an
odd accident. The crank slipped off and
| struck him with considerable force full

in the lower lip. Had the crank struck
higher the result would perhaps have
been much more serious.
