ly after midnight June by an auto
mobile owned and driven by George
l. Lavalley. His car, which must
have been going at high rate of
speed, jumped the curve at the head
OF College street, continued up the
main walk of the college campus for
about 100 feet and finally swerved to

northwest corner of the pedestal,
taking off a large strip of the mold
ing on the second base, and also
breaking a piece off the side and
defacing the die above. 1t is estl-
mated that it will cost in the vicin-
ity of $1,000 to repair the damage.
