Herman Tuteur Several Years Ahead of the Times.

All kinds of machinery has been invented to do the work of man, but the first attempt that we know of to break a colt by motor was called to our attention yesterday. We will have to give Herman Tuteur credit for pioneering in this great field of endeavor. He purchased a Thor IV motorcycle from the Jasper County Telephone Co. a few days ago and has since been busy delving into gasoline engine mysteries and learning how to manipulate the emergency brake. While riding on the Remington road about 4 o’clock yesterday at a fair clip he met Ray Adams, who was driving a mare with a suckling colt The colt saw the motorcycle but the motorcycle couldn’t see the colt and as the motorcycle Was geared higher thqn the colt there was a collision, with the result that the colt almost got broke. Aside from biting the dust and bending a pedal on the machine, Herman escaped without loss or injury. .He thinks, however, that he ran into a good thing and before long he will probably have a sign out that reads something like this: “Breaking Colts by Motorcycle.”
