Herman J. Krohm in previous

Saturday evening, between eight
and nine o'clock, an auto collision
occurred on south Keller avenue
when a Ford coupe driven by G..
Dyer, of Alexandria, crashed into
the rear of Ed Minette's Mash,

moderate rate of speed when the
accident occurred. None of the
occupants of either care were in
jured, although considerable dam
age was done to the front portion

When the city of Sank Centre
offered $3.50 six per cent sewer
bonds due on or before five year
period, the competition for the pur-
chase of the bonds was quite keen

the purchaser paying the accrued
