BIG TRAILER DAMAGED

A considerable amount Of damage
was incurred by a large Eckert trans.
port trailer early Monday morning,
when it went into the ditch about
three miles west OF Coulee City on the
Sunset highway.
The mishap resulted when Marcus
Haines, driver of the truck to which
the trailer was connected, swung the
vehicle far to the side of the road to
avoid hitting an auto which had stall
ed when its battery went dead. The
truck itself negotiated around the car
without difficulty, but the trailer was
ditched when it skidded on the muddy
road shoulder.
A special wrecker had to be called
from Spokane to pull the bulky trail
er from the ditch.
~ The stalled auto, operated by Denny
Edge, manager of the Spokane Ice
hockey team, was brought to town by
n wrecker from Jim s Chevrolet.
