that the libelant has made diligent
inquiry and does not know where
the libelee resides;
Therefore, 1t is ordered that
notice of the tendency of said libel
be given to said libelee by publica-

Returning home from Philadelphia
one day last week with a pool table
and other equipment for Joseph Flynn,
who was seated beside the driver, the
Vim motor truck of John Hartwell,
this city, was run into %digonally by a
Dodge car at W~estville, with damaging
results to the Vim, which was put out
of commission by the force of the i'm
pact. All three men escaped injury.
Turning out to pass another machine
the driver of the Dodge is said to have
been confronted with the alternative
of running down two bicyclists or col
liding with the Hartwell truck, so he
chose he latter. Seeing that a coils
ion was imminent, Mr.. Hartwell swerv-
ed his truck sideways so it would re-
ceive a glancing blow instead of a di-
rect one from in front, which he fig
ured would be more hazardous for
himself and Mr.. Flynn. Only the
week before Mr.. Hartwell had his Vim
truck overhauled and requirements
made at a cost of 500. The Dodge
car is said to have carried accident
insurance.
