An Involuntary Ride.

While oiling an auto in the
garage Tuesday afternoon, H. c..
Frese took an involuntary ride, or
rather walk ahead of the auto. The
auto was near the door and after
oiling he thought to distribute the
oil by starting the engine. In
starting the engine, some contrap-
ton on the thing" was set so that
the car started for the door, which
was closed, and the car so near that
Mr.. Frese couldn't get out of the
way. The car tore out the door and
frame which fell back over on the
car, and pinioned Mr.. Frese to the
radiator with his head through the
window of the door, and headed
sraight across the street for Tops
store. The crash of glass brought
many to the scene and to the rescue.
Here is the part of the affair in
which Mr.. Frese was fortunate. The
auto had a top which helped to car
ny the doors and frame, otherwise
he would have been compelled to
carry the load which required four
men to carry back across the street.
Mr.. Frese escaped with a cut on the
arm which required two stitches,
otherwise he was unhurt.-West-
gate Herald.
