Booth Harrington has written a
story of the social and industrial life
of big city. He calls it "The Tur-

es no obstacle. Throughout is a vain
of pathetic humor and love story
that is intensely interesting.
The Republic has secured the serial

Saturday. Oct. 14th. 2W40
John McMaher, the owner and
driver of a Buick car ran, it is re-
ported, into c. Cyr who vas driving a
little Saxon runabout, and badly
wrecked the latter car. The COLI
sion, which is understood as follows,
occurred on Main Street, very near
the Dennistown Power Company's
stock room. Cyr was going in the
direction of the station and turned to
one side in order to pass Harry New
ton in his Ford, who was bound in
the opposite direction and MeMaher
drove up behind Newton and attempt
ed to pass him and in so doing ran
into Mr. Cyr. No one was injured.

was driving Metz runabout is re-

belonging to T. W. and Clarence

horse had two legs broken and had
to be shot and the other very badly
cut on the shoulder. Mr. Quay with
load of meat was going to the
Jackman Lumber Cos boarding
house and saw these two loose horses
coming. He applied his brakes and
turned his car into the ditch, but as
the horses were on the same side it
seems it caught the first one, and
threw the man from its back, tearing
his shoe from the foot and cutting an
ugly cash and then striking the sec
ond horse, which was in line with
the first. The car was completely de-
molished. The driver of the horses
