team at the public hitch rack he
drove over to the depot and tied one
of the animals to a railroad sign
post and he and sister went into the
depot to wait for the north bound
train, on which Miss Luper intend
ed to go to Leon. When the train
came in the team broke the tie strap
and made a dash for home. In
stead of running from the train they
run in front of the engine. The

The Leon Bus and Transfer Co.
purchased a one ton Dodge truck
from J. R. Bowsher the past week,
and Monday they gave it a pretty
strenuous test. The Dodge had a
load of full ton on it, and down
at the depot the big Indiana truck
loaded with lumber went dead, so
the boys just hooked it on behind
the little Dodge and pulled both
loads up the hill without chains and
without bit of trouble, the COM
bined weight of the two loads being
over 1900 pounds, which is some
showing for a one ton truck.
