Said Their Machine Was Struck By Auto Truck.

A couple of young men passed through Rensselaer Wednesday morning driving a new wine-colored Halliday touring car that looked as though it had been struck in the side by a locomotive. The young men were very uncommunicative about the accident, but said that it had occurred at Marion, Ind., where it was struck by an auto truck. The body of the car was badly mashed in, but the frame was intact. The car bore Illinois number plate “P 5775” op the front and No. 257 in the rear. They said they were driving the car through to Streator, 111., where it is made, for repairs.
