thev had another punctured tire, and at
ter working for an hour, they had to run
into Milford to get the trouble mended.
The girls were tired, covered with dust
and dirt, and hungry as a hunter after
/ following the dogs all day. when they
arrived back in Harrington for an eight
O'Clock supper.
Rov McKnitt had a very narrow escape

no bones broken. Voshel was arrested
