AUTO cell

The heat" ditch on Main street, an
auto and a few turns of the engine
combined to cause considerable excite
ment on the street last Thursday
afternoon. S. II. McCarl drove his
car to the front of the post Office and
in stopping killed his engine. He got
out to crank his engine, ~neglecting
to release it and in fact must have left
it in high" In turning the engine
over he did such a good job that the
entire car started and Mr.. McCarl
made all speed to get out of the way.
The car went ahead for a short dis
lance and struck A. NJ. Wold's car,
which was standing at the curb, and
pushed hat car into the open ditch.
Comparatively no damage was done to
either car but the drivers think they
escaped rather easily. Mr.. McCarl is
thinking seriously of trying a self
starter so hat he can be nearer the
levers when his car take a notion to
leave him.

A somewhat amusing, but what
might easily have proven a fatal &C.
uranc took place at one of the rail-
road crossings east of town last Satur-
day morning. A young man who had
attended a dance at the Indian grove
the night before, was on his way home
early in the morning and fell asleep in
his buggy. His horse. which must
have been of a gentle disposition,
stopped as it crossed the track, leaving
the buggy standing between the rails.
The morning passenger came along
about that time and failed to arouse
the sleeper. The buggy was complete,
ly demolished, the young man being
thrown upon the pilot and for some
miraculous reason, uninjured. The
train was stopped and the young man
discovered, still fast asleep, in his
perilous position. Whether the sound
ness of his sleep was caused by lack
of natural rest or from embibing too
much in spirits we did not learn. How
ever this may be, we would advise him
not to try the experiment again, as
the result would probably not again
prove so fortunate.-Lake Benton
