That an automobile is not a very
safe hitiching post, was decided the
other day when some one drove up
to the Dodge Block and used the II. B.
Goodwin & Son truck for that pur-
pose. The driver of the truck came
out of his office in the block and not
noticing that horse was hitched to
the rear, started off rather rapidly in
pursuit of his business. Fortunately
the attachment was noted before seri-
Gus damage had occurred 1t is
probable that the owner of the horse
will not again become entangled with
an automobile in this manner.
