Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Stewart spent
the Fourth at Mill creek camp. AT
least that was their intention. The
threatening weather caused them to
change their plans, and early in the
afternoon they started for home.
When they were about a mile out
from Maple Hill the storm broke. The
wind blew a gale and the rain came
in torrents. Their auto skidded. turn
ed completely across the road and
backed into the ditch. And there it
rested content, with the back wheels
submerged All Mr.. Stewards efforts
to coax the auto onto the road were
unavailing until the downpour had
lessened, and the water drained off.
This was not until 8 O'Clock. Mr..
Stewart now has a fellow feeling for
Noah.
