Wednesday night when John and
Francis Finnegan, Geo. FinneganS
sons, were returning from the swim
ming hole south OF the city, they ran
into John Jr. and Roy Napp's horse
and wagon. The lights on John S
Ford it seems were not working good
and he did not see the Napp boys ap-
preaching The collision caved in the
front of the car and injured the horse
some, but flying glass from the wind
shield cut Francis Finnegan quite
severely about the face, cutting his
Nye badly. Luckily it was no worse.
Last Monday night as Patsy Van
Dyke was returning to Fennimore
on the Gregory Hollow road, he
noticed at the John Napp Jr. home
that the roof of the house was
Iafire. He awoke the occupants and
they Immediately got busy with
buckets of water and put out the
blaze. A hole was burned in the
roof Otherwise not much damage
done. 1t was lucky affair all the
round as the house would doubtless
have been doomed as the occupants
were sleeping soundly and were
with difficulty awakened. AS it was
the blaze had quite start.

Friday night Wendell Marsden in
their Buick car and La Verne Cru
baugh in a Dodge car collided south
of town. The cars were badly dam
aged; the accident happened on the

boys were going at pretty fair speed.
Luckily none of the occupants were
hurt.
