the French government admitted that
German mobilization superiority over

Peterson's motorcycle was pinned TO
the big telephone pole on the corner
OF Main and First East streets by
Farley Austin's automobile, while Mr..
Peterson was hurled headlong through
the air into the ditch In front of John
Devey's home
Mr.. Peterson was stunned for few
moments and was greatly shaken up
by the fall, bu, beyond being stiffened
up for few days. luckily will suffer
no permanent Injury. His motorcycle,
however, did not fare so well, as the
only thing left about II was the en-
CINE, The front wheel was battered
to pieces. the hind one jammed out
OF shape and the frame badly battered.
Mr.. Austin suffered no personal In
Jury. but his car was probably dam
aged over 800. One Of the big springs
was broken In two. the axel was badly
sprung and lamp was demolished,
besides several other minor injuries.
Mr.. Peterson was coming from Am.
eficsh Fork. going west. while MIR
Austin, going east. was just making
the turn north on First East Mr.
Peterson thought that he had plenty
OF room to clear to the right before
the automobile would make the turn
Mr.. Austin naturally thought that as
h. was making the turn up First East
the motorcycle would turn to the left
and continue on up Main ~street
Thinking this he made the turn lit
tie shorter than he would ordinarily
Both discovered the crisis too late &c
avoid II, and the result was that as
the auto caught the motorcycle. the
latter. going at good rate, turned
the front wheels of the auto so that
II ran squarely into the telephone post
with them otorcycle underneath.
AS the collision came Mr., Peterson
was thrown into the air. Just missing
the pole. aud lighting squarely In the
soft ditch on his head and shoulders
Had he struck either the pole or the
cement pavement there would have
been a different tale to tell,

The government withdrawal of the

said that the lands acquired belonged

acting OF Frank Sharp as King Cole
was good. He was unfortunate to
suffer with the changing of voice Just
when training for the part. When

miller were also excellent; I'm fact
