TRUCK DROVE SQUARE
INTO A TOURING CAR.

Mrs. F. E. Geoffroy was backing
her Oldsmobile touring car from the
driveway at her home on 18th this
morning. In the car with her were
her children. She had reached the
street when a Republic truck came
swiftly around the corner from Olive
a half block away with clear view
and without Stacking speed crashed
into the car. It seriously damaged
the tonneau but luckily none of the
children was hurt. The driver, Ar
thur Noll, went on to the country.
