by Mr.. Cook, struck a tree in front
of John Zehner's and went over the
bank of the adjoining property of ].
W. Folk and proceeded down thru the
lot uprooting large lilac bush, and
crowding between the house and a
cherry tree, barely missing wash
house, going through a fence and
finally coming. to stop across the
alleyway at the north west end of
Mrs. Lydia Wiley's property when it
struck a telegraph pole tearing two
live wires from the latter's home.
Damage to the car was estimated at
$3.50, while that done to the proper
ties was slight. Mr.. Cook stated that
he just didn't know how it happened
or what made him keep on going. The
fog, the wet condition of the road,
and rocks lying in the street which
may have caused the car to veer We're
given as possible causes. None was i'm
iured, not even slightly.
