ODD FELLOWS IN AUTO SPILL MONDAY NIGHT.
Brace White and Load Collide With John Reed and Passengers Have Long Walk Back Home. Eighteen Odd .Fellows started for Remington Monday evening in automobiles to attend the Remington lodge and participate in the initiatory work. Part of the eighteen reached their destination, but one load had a lot of trouble. When about eight miles fropi Rensselaer the car driven by Bruce White collided with a car coming this way and driven by John Reed. The White'machine was so badly disabled that it was impossible to continue the trip. Those in the car with White were C. B. Steward, Fred Tyler and Frank E. Cox. Mr. Tyler got into another machine and continued on to Remington, but the others decided to abandon the trip and telephoned for Mike Kubosky, who started out with his car. About 5 miles south of town a front axle on Kubosky’s car broke and he was compelled to give up the trip and to leave the car in the road. White, Steward and Cox set out after telephoning, thinking they would meet Kubosky. Finally they reached his broken down car and all walked all the way back to town. The damage to White’s car is estimated at SSO. Kubosky’s damage will probably be sls. Mr. Reed’s car was not seriously damaged. *
