 Only Accident Farcical
 The only accident which occurred here yesterday was a farcical one which happened at Blossoms corner under the eye of Constable Ernest Farrar. Two automobiles just barely touched and no damage was done. according to the officer. who was doing traffic duty there. but the drivers waxed wroth about the blame and settlement of damages, of which Farrar could see none at all. Finally, the driver of one car said he would accept 50 cents for the damage caused by the bending of his spare tire carrier. and this was paid reluctantly. Consta ble Farrar said that the type of carrier is one which he is engaged in mak- ing daily and that 1t is purposely ! bent in manufacture.
