Former Barkley Tp. Citizen In Auto Smash-Up.

Fulton Leader: Samuel Hopkins of near Silver Lake passed through Fulton Tuesday with a handsome five-passenger Mitchell car on his way to Logan. Sam was only hitting the high places on the Michigan road and w'hen in front of Mrs. Austin’s farm the steering gear balked as it sometimes does, and lo the machine was climbing a tree in the Austin yard. The old gentleman is a Dunkard and wealthy and said let her go, fix her up; who cares; I have the money; and so it ended; a little change for the garage men- and the occupants unhurt.

Adverised letters: Lizzie Rippe, Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Finley, W. D. Stubymma, Will Williams, Alpha Miller, Sherman Giggs, J. R. Carr, A. H. Reed, Grover Reed, J. Davidson, W. D. Baker. '
