On Saturday afternoon a team
driven by Allan Atkins, of nea
Milton, and an automobile driven b!
William d. Lank, of Milton, cOllideC
| in front of the farm of B. Franz
Walls, a short distance south o
Milton, with the result that the
| horse was killed and the automobile
| badly damaged. Neither of the oc
cupants of the vehicles were in
jured. 1t seems that Mr.. Atkins IL
making a turn from the concrete
road into the dirt road leading tc
his farm pulled the horse to the
left side of the road and Mr.. Lank
seeing that he could not stop in time
to prevent a rear-end collision with
the carriage POSSIBLY killing the
driver) attempted to pass to the
right, but as he was about to pass
the team the driver pulled the horse
directly in front of the car. Mr..
Lank put on the brakes but was
unable to stop. The horse was in
stantly killed and the car crashed
into a heavy concrete abutment, and
but for the presence of mind of
Lank, who threw himself across the
seat, he would have been badly in
jured by flying glass from the wind
shield. Mr.. Atkins was not injured
or the carriage badly damaged.

Little David DuttOn says grown

A meeting of the pea and lima
