the National Manufacturing Co. for
the unruly candidates. Twenty eight
candidates were transported in the
cage. AL Myers was the trainer in the
cage. Two candidates lead one Of
Francis Dunham's goats in the parade,
and created considerable amusement
for the spectators. Sheriff Pride head
ed the procession. He was attired in
the garb of knight and rode a horse
"fed up" on barrel slaves.
Following the parade the vast throng
marched to the armory where din
ner was served in cafeteria style.

Delaware County for fifty-one years,

HEMPSTEAD FAMILY HAS CLOSE
CALL

Mr.. and Mrs. II, II. Hampstead know
how it feels to have an auto come
headlong toward them and crash into
their car, for that is just what hap
pened to them last Sunday night
while they were driving home from
| Dubuque A short distance east of
the Grant park east of Dyersville a
farmer by the name of Klocker OF
Bernard struck their car, with the
result that both machines were badly
wrecked and Mr. and Mrs. Hampstead
quite badly bruised. Mrs. Hampstead
received severe cuts from the broken
glass of the windshield. The other
occupants of the car were Alice Morse,
Lille Tudor and Rachael Turner. These
| were in the rear seat and escaped
| injury.
1t is said that Klocksr was driving
with one headlight on the car, and
that he himself was somewhat light
up" with moonshine, most danger
Gus combination, to say the least.
Mr.. Hampstead saw that there was
danger ahead and pulled his car to the
right as far as possible, but even this
did not prevent the collision. Mr.. and
Mrs. Bert Turner were closely be-
hind the Hampstead car and in order
to avoid running into the car Mr..
Turner sent his car down into a small
ditch.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hampstead feel rather
fortunate in escaping with no more
serious injuries. We have an idea
Mr.. Hampstead will take a pair Of
pole climbers with him the next time
he ventures on the Grant Highway.
What one does not encounter on the
Highway between Manchester and Du-
buque is not worth listing.
We have often wondered what ex-
cuse our officers in Manchester have
for allowing so many cars to be OPP
Grated on the streets with one head
light, and no tail light. Just take a
strole down the streets OF the city
any evening and you can see from one
to a dozen cars with improper head
lights. Cars are parked in the resi-
Dental section with no. rear lights
going. We believe it is just as much
a violation of the motor vehicle law
to park car at night on side streets
without proper lights as it is to "cut"
corners or drive on the wrong side
of the street. Some day somebody,
will get their car smashed in front
of their own home and persons will
be severely injured. Then, and not
until then, will our officers wake up
to their duty.
