W. L. WOOD STILL AUTOLESS.

While W. L. Wood of Parr bought a second-hand Cadillac auto In Chicago recently, he has not got same home yet, nor Mhe likely to. The company from whom he bought sent an expert along with him to run the car down to Parr, but when they got near Wolfe Lake, the other side of Hamfnond, the machine got balky and refused to budge. The rain fell in torrents, but Mr. Wood and the expert worked in vain. After they had broken about all the Commandments and got soaked to the skin, W. L. hired a driver of a coal wagon to haul the “critter” to a farmhouse and run It under a shed. He then hiked to a telegraph office and wired the bank not to pay the check he had given in payment for the auto. He has heard nothing since from the company and don’t know nor don’t care what has become of the machine.
