A story of what a Lewiston city
official did a few days ago is be-
ing told about the streets of that
city. 1t seems that a well known
professional man had stopped, as
/ the law required, before passing a
street car which was discharging
passengers. The city official drove
up behind him and began to toot the
horn of his car. The professional
man continued to wait until the
passengers had all stepped off the
car, this angered the city official
who backed up his car and then
| drove it as hard as possible into the
rear of the professional mans ma
chine. Fortunately the bumpers
protected the car, though the force
of the blow shot it ahead several
feet.

A gentleman who said he had just
arrived in Lewiston from Orlando,
| Fla, telephoned to The Lewiston Sun
| Wednesday that he had met another
man from his own town who was
leaving Maine because he had been
discourteously treated by a Lewiston
woman. He said the woman, n Lew
iston school teacher, had objected
to the stranger parking his car in
front of her house and told him so.
After hearing of such discourtesy on
| the part of the Lewiston woman, the
second party from Orlando, was a
little alarmed for fear he might not
be courteously treated there, told The
| Sun as much and suggested that the
offending woman's name be pub
lished, so that other tourists might
| take notice and not subject them
selves to insults by parking near her
