ENID FIRE TRUCK
DAMAGE REPAIRED.
BY HEARSE WHEEL
Substitution Made Until New
Wheel Can Be Secured

ENID. Okla. June l9-)SpcoIa' D-.
The End fire department, has added a
part Of a hcarSe to It's cQulpmeut--,hat
is, rear wheel was taken from a
hearsc and placed on one Of the fire
trucks until new wheel could be sent
from the factory
The weel was broken recently when
the truck rounded corner at full speed
and an approaching vehicle caused the
driver TO force the truck into The curb
to avoid a collision. A local under
taker who has a hearse OF the same
make and chassis as the truck allowed
the city commissioners to borrow a
wheel exactly the same size as the
one destroyed
The hear'e is resting on three whees'
and a sawbuck in the rear OF the fire
station and the fire truck sails mcrrllj
about the city.
