While out in the country several
days ago A. Dring, Sid Smith and
Dutch" in company with viii June
had an experience with the automo-
bile that is more laughable to those
who hear it than it was to the quar-
tette of gentlemen above named.
They were out to view the. wheat
conitions and in an endeavor to avoid
some real bad roads attempted to
make the buzz wagon ford a creek.
Just like some horses We know OF,
the machine kept on its good behavior
until it reached the middle of the
stream when it went dead ON them
Nothing for bring, Sid Smith, ct al,
to do but shed their trilbys, roll up
their trousers and get out into the.
water and heave-to They did so
and as a result Sid has been nursing
quite cold ever since. But there
were few good fields Of wheat to be
seen.-Pawnee Rock Herald.
