Some fellows who run automobiles
get careless in driving or do not pay
much attention to what is going on
around them, which accounts for the
many accidents that occur from day
to day. Yesterday afternoon farm
err ran into the N. P. gates at the
south side of the railroad crossing on
Fifth avenue, breaking off one Of the
gates. The f1agman had sounded SUI
ficient warning and the gates were
nearly down when the driver bumped
into them. He claims he did not see
them coming down. He should not
be running a car or some day he will
run right in front of railroad train
that he doesn't see, then it will be
flowers for him.

The police department decided last
night that the "jungles" were to be
cleared so they journeyed over there
and told the assembled "wobblies''
that they could either 60 to work or
depart for parts unknown. Being
against the creed of the organization
for them to start working they decid-
ed to leave for other parts and hop
ped the first train out of town. The
police confscated all cooking utensils
found at the camp, of which there
were a goodly number, and cleared
everything away so that there is no
evidence that this place is camping
ground. It is the intention of the
department to keep all Jungle buns
on the move and see that they do not
camp in the city any more. That IS
a mighty good move.
