o'clock an auto accident occurred
on paved highway No. 8 near the
Fair Grounds when Star coach
driven by a stranger enroute to
Breckenridge went into the ditch
to avoid a collision with a Ford
coupe driven by Clifford Perkin-

his own car. The machine turned
completely over but fortunately no
glass was broken and no injury
caused to the sole occupant. The
car was towed in by the wrecker
from Maus Motor Co. and put in
