Team Ran Off

AS 0. Y. Watson backed his
team away from the hitch rack to
start home last Saturday evening,
the neckyoke caught in the hitch
rack chain and was broken. This
let the buggy tongue down and
frightened the team and they made
a lunge or two and were off down
the street. Mr.. Watson jumped
from the buggy at the northwest
corner of the park and was unhurt.
The buggy was left near the rail-
road crossing and the team went
toward home at their best gait.
Aside from breaking the buggy
tongue the damage was slight.

WEEKLY HAPPENINGS
ANear Auto Accident; Class Pro-
gram; A Runaway

Presence of mind and quick
action on the part Of E. G. Cole
saved his Case touring car from
destruction and himself from in
jury or perhaps death at the main
street railroad crossing last Satur-
day evening. He was going south
across the track just as q freight
backing west on the south ""
came from behind the Talbot Office
building and he was not aware OF
its presence until the back end OF
the caboose was within few feet
of his car. He quickly steered west
and crossed the two sidetracks and
was headed north when he stopped
about twenty feet west of the
crossing. No injury was done
whatever but it was certainly a
close call, and the fact that he was
driving slowly and had complete
control of his machine made the
escape possible. Again it has been
demonstrated that the only safe way
for an automobile to cross a rail-
road track is to "Stop, Look and
Listen "

Men In the rrenohes.

Men who have been under fire in
the trenches or in the open, with
shells falling all around them and men
stricken on all sides, will tell you that
they had no fear as long as they could
fight and bear their part of the strug-
gle.
But when wounded, lying powerless
and helpless on the field, the enemy
descending on them, fear of the UNI
known, of the long hours of waiting
torture, of what fate had in store for
them, has wrung groans from hearts
that no pain could influence.
Each sound, each movement con-
tanned a menace for which they had
no name, no reason, but which was
full of unutterable horror, and for
which there was no relief but merciful
Inconsistencies or removal into the
zone of peace and safety.
