Carrie and her little Ratchet could
not have done more damage to any

east on Center St, and dilapidated
Ford was coming north on Polk st.
The two machines met at the inter-

thirst parlor.
Tenders and lamps on both cars
suffered from the collision, but not
as much as did the owl saloon.
Considerable glass was broken out of
the saloon front. and the front door,
which has been closed since Indiana
went dry, was Knocked in.
The two drivers were busy for a
minute getting the numbers of each

ground of the crowd which gathered
could be seen one of Tonys employ
es, who was not too busy mourning
the damage 10 the owl to take down
