Scene AT BARRACKv|LLE

Ben Wilson and his Fora are proba
bly,: the most persistent pair in the pub
lie eye to be found in this section OF
the state. Enough adventures have
happened to Ben and his FLYER to pro
vide material for an epic. In fact a
local historian is considering writ.
ing q treatise on ben Wilson. the
Modern Mercury" But all things
that ever happened to Ben and his
Liz" were sclipsed yesterday when
Liz" met her death and Ben got q
{ good shaking up. Incidentally he al
most lost good rooster, but that Is
ahead Of the story.
At seven o'clock yesterday morning
Ben in his Ford was bowling blithly
along while on the rear seat was a
rooster which was being taken as a
gfft to his son. Doctor Smith of Bar
$rackville, was also out Fording when
suddenly around the corner Of the
store in Barrackville they lunged at
each other and went smack together.
Bang! I? T?
Away went the rooster and without
killed or not, away went Ben after
him. The rooster was at a disadvan.
stage because his feet were tied togeth.
ersand because Ben is noted as being
good runner. About hundred yards
from the wreck the nuttering fowl
was overhauled and Ben proceeded
back to the wreck. DOC" Smith was
Just crawling from under the wreckage
Rnd In few minutes the work of sal.
wage was started.
Ben decided he would haul his tin
COW iherder to garage by horse.pow.
or and such beast OF burden was ac.
5cordingly secured. Since the engine
had not responded to cranking it was
supposed to be dead
The horse was hitched to the front
end and the start was made.
Inadvertably the clutch had been
left in and when Liz" felt herself
being drawn ignobly by Il horse she
resented such assistance and started
of on her own record. Since no one
was at the helm she dashed head first
into Buffalo creek. but finding the
water cold, turned about and started
for shore again. Down the creek float.

With heavy heart Ben secured
q block and tackle and with the as.
sistance of the small boy population
Of Barrackville hauled the dripping re.
mains from their resting place.
The rooster however, was safe and
will likely be the means of averting
a, damage suit between Ben and doc -
Ben says that he will kill the bird
and cook it, then invite doc" to the
feast where a comprise may be agreed
upon.
