Special Correspondence Every Evening
Dover. Aug. 19.-The putting of the
automobile of DIR. Harry Mcdaniel,
Jr., in front of his home. during his
absence yesterday with apparently no
one in the machine, startled the
doctors wife who was in the house.
causing her TO go to the door and look
for the trouble.
On arriving at the machine and
seeing no one in it. she looked closely
and saw their tiny pet dog, Tip, in the
foot of the car, sitting on the starter.
and as he moved the machine would
begin to puff.
The locking OF the car evidently
was the only thing which prevented
it from starting OFF as the dog pressed
the starter.
