MOTOR TRUCK Tits

Cans Crash Like Artillery
Barrage During State.
Road Drive
DRIVERS PADDLE
THROUGH FLUID

The sun shone; the birds sang ;~and
two colored men on the drivers seat
OF a big motor-truck whis;led merrily
as they sped along the smooth state
Road whizzingly, yesterday morning
The milk inside 50 big cans installed
in the truck, joggled with a soothing
murmur. II was the peaceful Sabbath
morn. Soon the dupont Building and
the spires Of Wilmington would come
into view shortly. the truck would
deliver TO the Glover Dairy Its daily
consignment Of milk from farms along
the Odessa Wilmington route, in time
for the # O'Clock delivery TO custom
ers. All was exceedingly well with
the world
Just about then, things began to hap
pen. The truck mounted an incline
near the Ezekiel Cooper home, a mile
south OF Farnhurst, hanging at a per
ilous slant over the crest and side OF
the road Its deck sloped like tor
pedOed ship, and then IL quietly lay
down upon its side like a tired dog, to
take breathing spell Dean Foreman,
the driver, and his companion, William
Guyer. left the truck with rapidity, &C

ing like an artillery barrage. That sec
tion Of the road became land flowing
with milk and honied language on the
part Of the two men.
The men padded through the milky
way, getting the truck up on its pins
again, and putting back the milk cans.
There were 10 cans undisturbed, but
$3.50 worth Of milk decorated the high
way. The truck, which was damaged
somewhat, was the property OF ]. X.
Orrell, Of Odessa. The men wiped
enough milk off to make the outfit look
less like a white washing concern, and
proceeded to Wilmington where the
Glover dairy received 10 cans OF milk
in schedule time, and mourned for the
missing. But there Is no use in cry
