There was quite a wreck out ut

day when a big passenger bus and
little Ford had an argument IN
which, = strangely enough, the bus
was overturned completely while
the smaller car stayed right square
on its wheels and right square in
the middle of tile road.
A Negro man was pinned under
the bus and it took some time-may-
be quarter hour Or So-to eXtricate
him and get him on his way to a
hospital.
After everything was all over, in
Guiding most of the shouting, high
way patrolman, first arm Of the law

ward at something like 70, or maybe
more.

be too late, but he was taking no

the north bank.
