by Frank Yard at the intersection
of Fifth street and College avenue

in which the latter was painfully. but
not seriously hurt. AS far as can be
ascertained nobody was to blame in
the matter and It appears to have
been one OF those unavoidable acct
dents that will occasionally occur
In spite OF the utmost efforts to pre-
vent them.
The impact OF the two machines
threw the Yard boy from his bicycle
with considerable force and the right
side of his face was rather badly cut
by the gravel when he fell to the
street. He also received a number
OF bruises about the body at the same
time. The automobile did not run
over him. although such was report
ed to be the case shortly after the
affair happened.
The Yard boy was carried into the
home OF Mrs. Laura L. Mansfield and
three physicians summoned to make
an examination OF his injuries. but

Possibilities OF surprising bearish

About midday peace talk concerning

Invariably, however buying of a per

Improved cash demand steadied
corn even more than wheat. Never

country offerings were small.
Oats took the same course as other

Higher prices for hogs lifted pro-
