Truck Smashed Into
Trailer; Spills Bottles
PIPESTONE-A truck, loaded
with soft drinks and ice cream, was
badly smashed and it's contents
scattered and damaged, when it
crashed into a car and trailer park
ed on the highway north of Pipe
stone one evening recently. The
truck hit the trailer and then went
into a ditch where it tipped over.
It was reported that the trailer's
flares failed to function while he
stopped on the highway to repair
a tire. What a sight to the eyes
of the children that wreck would
have been, had it happened in town.
Bet On Age;
Born Same Day
FARMINGTON- a coinci-
dence for you. Chas. Allard, Lake
vile township supervisor, and Chas.
Turner, Orchard Lake painter and
fell into conversation
recently as to who was the older
of the two. Mr.. Allard bet he was
older than Mr.. Turner and when
they came to check up they found
they were both born on the same
day, June 4th, 1878. Further check
up proved they wear the same size
hat, same size shoes, same height,
and they both have the same first
name. Some say they look alike.
They expect to make next June 4
a big double birthday celebration.
Police Help Patients
To See Doctors

come to the aid of dental patient
here recently. A crowd had gath

for the fire sale, blocking the en-

A patient arrived, tried to get
through the crowd. "Quit pushing
and wait like the rest of U.S." he
was told. He tried to explain and
push his way through again. 1t was
no use. Finally he and Victor
chief of police, got to-
gether and they pushed their way
through. Beckman had to repeat
the performance a few more times
for other patients to doctors OFFICES
upstairs before he was through.
