The result was that the window
was smashed beyond patching and
the oliver came to a dead halt
just outside the building. The
damage was estimated this morning
at about one hundred dollars to
the window, no personal injury to
anyone and a Ford that while un
scattered was nevertheless in pos
session of a damned steering gear.
The latter fact is assigned as the
cause of the smash since Gillian APP
peared unable to stop the Henry at
the curb, and the fact that the ra-
dius rod had twisted.
