AUTO BEER TRUCK GOES
ON JOY RIDE DOWNTOWN
Its Merry Course Marked by Series
of Lively Events.

An autotruck loaded with beer went on
noon on Passyunk avenue and spilled
things generally. Aside from overturninS
a carriage or two, crashing into a couple
ybf sidewalk markets, tearing down the
awnings of Patrick Rooney's grocery COL
liding with the front of barbershop and
toners nearly out of their wits, the big
truck did no damage.
The vehicle belonged to the Poth Brew
ing Company and started on it's wild ca
reer while the driver, Albert Eithen, was
taking supplies to Andrew Andrews. of
1924 East l'assyunk avenue.
According to the police. small boy
climbed on the truck and after start
ing II in motion, jumped off and let it
go home itself.
While the car was 2igzaggnS down the
street two policemen started after it,
but as they did not know the rudiments
of football the truck easily fooled them
by turning just the opposite way-it was
expected to.
The police thought they had il sure
when the wagon smashed into Rooney S
store at 1f47 Passyunk avenue, but the
auto slipped away again, and after many
jumps and turns it crashed into a barber
shop. Needless to say, the noise fright
cued the BARRIERS. and everybody inside
mad close shave. In fact some of the
customers jumped up until the truck left
the pla ce.
But it did leave in quick time. and was
bound straight for a china store, when
Christopher Morgan, of 1851 South Jessup
street. managed to jump on the seat and
turn off the power.
And the police arc investigating.

ENGINEER AND NIGHT wATcHMAN BEAR

dog at the plant, he chases, and Malt the
Irish terrier, he ignores.
1t was decided yesterday that bath
would not hurt Boss. What is more, the
bath was deemed almost imperative. Cap
tain Albert Quigley and John Hart, Gov
ernment officers detailed at the distlllery,
and John Rigbey, the engineer, escorted
Boss to pond on the company prop
erty Boss waded in one side of the pond
and out the other and disappeared in the
underbrush.
Captain Quigley, Hart and Rigby gave
pursuit.
1t was an hour later that they met a
Negro walking along one of the roads.
He was looking anxiously over his shoul-
der and walking as If in n hurry.
"Ah you lookin' TO a dog. ah maghty
big dcg?" asked the Negro.
I'VE are looking for a bear" returned
the rescue party.
Nah goodness me, dat was him. dat
was him." exclaimed the Negro. and he
hurried along without further explana-
ton.
Boss was found a mile further on He
had located the Delaware River and was
having a swim. Rib Rigbey called him
and the bear came ashore. He climbed
tree and there he stayed until he was
dry. Many a bear has had man Up
tree, literally and figuratively. Now
Boss was up a tree.
1t was different with the track inspec-
tors train on the New York division.
He saw the bear yesterday stopped his
train and had it backed up to get Sec
ond look. Then he climbed out of his
observation car and made Boss ac-
quaintance. Both seemed TO be pleased
at the meeting
Rigbey is the man to whom Boss shows
the most respect. RigOcy is not afraid
of bear. but Boss did not know that
at first. Boss nipped Rigbey ON the
hand. He may have been Joking In a
beariesh away, but Rigbey did not ap-
preciate The humor. He slapped the bear
on the tip of the nose, and if there Is
one thing which disgusts a bear and
takes the fighting ambition out of him
it is just this.
The bear eats. just like policeman
He is not particular what he eats, and
stays at II for hours.

the entire subject because Of the uncom-

play one game each year for ten years,
at places to be designated alternately by
the two academies, lying within the ter

that objection as sufficient and, the
