passengers in his auto, and Jay,
who was driving his new team, had
two John had just passed an auto,
and the light slightly blinded him,
SO that he did not see Jay or hear
him shout. The collision was fierce.
Two buggy wheels were broken and
the axletree bent, arm and shoulder
bruised and one horse bruised up
we're the injuries for Jay. John had
a lamp smashed and few more in
juries to his auto. Both parties

resulted in the loss of his eyes. He
extracted some powder from some
cartridges and touched match to

street Saturday, Ed. Jeidy jumped
backward to avoid nibble, and
went against one of A. Goldberg's

reflection that it was an unlucky
day.
