Harold Callender Narrowly Eacapes With His Life.

Harold Callander, who lives near the Canada school house in Barkley township, started to his work at Newland this morning in the onion fields. When he had gone about a mile and a half north of his home he met an automobile and turned his bicycle to the side to pass this machine when a machine front the rear approached. While the machine from the rear was not coming fast the brakes failed to work and Mr. Callander was forced to make a very quick jump off of his wheel in order to save his life. The automobile ran over his bicycle and completely demolished it. The party driving the machine which did the damage was Mr. Johnson, the stone road contractor. Mr. Johnson brought Mr. Callander to Rensselaer and gave him a check to pay for a new byclcle.
