A big livestock truck owned by August Bussler olf Wolcott and driven by a young man by the name of Paul Dyer, became unmanageable yesterday afternoon about 3:45 o’clock on North Fourth street, near the side entrance to the Schultz department store. Whether the driver was making an effort to get into the store with the machine or not could not be learned but if that was his desire, the attempt was frustrated by one of the big boulevard electric light posts on the edge of the sidewalk that refused to give way or break. The big globe was knocked off the top and the radiator of the truck was caved in.—Yesterday’s Lafayette Journal.
