BIG AUTO TRUCK GOES THROUGH

A big 3-ton Reliance covered truck Thursday forenoon brought up the rear of the auto procession of autos in the Chicago-Indianapolis tour. It acted as a first or last aid to injured and general baggage van. It attracted much attention' the few moments it stopped, in Rensselaer to tank up. When it pulled out of town it started off at a speed of perhaps 20 miles an hour. The age of the horseless vehicle Is Indeed here. The truck went back yesterday morning, it only going as far south as Lafayette.
