A young man residing in Rensselaer comes to Good land frequently and he brings an auto load of girls to spend the evening at the skating palace. On last Monday night they came over and one of the girls remained in the car after the others had gone inside. The machine was facing the west, and one of our boys while in conversation .with the girls in the machine was asked to crank the ‘‘Lizzie’’ for her, which he did. The girl had had no previous experience driving and she started the car backwards, ramming the top, which was down, into the east plate glass window of the theatre. The car then started forward and turning north it landed in a ditch by the Barney Clark home. The stunt would would have faded Pearl White away into insignificance. The owner of the car has made satisfactory settlement.
