The Feat of a Ford.

Some Rensselaer young men who had possibly been drinking a little too much “lemon pop,’’ were out joy riding in a Ford car Saturday night and, when going east on Clark street about 10 o’clock, forgot evidently that the street terminated at Cullen street, and kept right on, going right through the iron fence at Mrs. W. S. Coen’s residence before they realized where they were at. The fence broke in two and sprung inward where the car struck it, then sprung back in place, and it was necessary to cut out a section of the fence before they could get the car back in the street again. No, it didn’t phaze the Ford at all.
