It was about 9 o’clock Thursday night and was very (lark and foggy and the men report that they could not see ten feet ahead of them. At Dunn’s siding, near the Kankakee river, they collided with a horse belonging to Lon Neese, and all were thrown from the car and all suffered injuries of a more or less serious nature, while the horse was killed. None of the injured men were able to proceed to Wheatfield and the C. & E. I. agent at Dunn’s siding walked all the w’ay to Wheatfield to procure an automobile and bring the disabled men to that town, where they were placed in the care of a physician.

That’s the reason pork and beans cost ,po much.
