Car, Occupied by 3-Year-Old,
Trundles Down Alder Street

An automobile owned by Beeson
Glotfelty, McHenry, and occupied by
his tree-year-old son, got away from
it's mornings in front of Sturgiss' drug
store on Alder street Monday at noon
and narrowly missed crashing into
the front of the Treacy Cash Gro
Gerry just below the drug store.
The lad had evidently succeeded in
releasing the brakes and the car
drifted down the slightly inclined
street. The boy stood by the steering
wheel, however, and giving it pull
ran the vehicle onto the pavement.
Harry Burley, bus driver for the
Meyer Transit Company, who was in
front of the drug store and sensing
the danger, jumped on the running
board of the car and succeeded in prac-
tically stopping it, but not until it
had crashed into a platform built up
in front of the Treacy store window
and had scattered a sack of feed over
the pavement. The fender of the car
struck the window easement, but no
other damage resulted.
Mr.. Glotfelty purchased the sack
of feed.
