TRYING A NEW AUTO STUNT

Eugene Hasty Pulled Off an Acrobatic Exhibition Yesterday. » Eugene Hasty pulled off a new auto stunt yesterday morning with the W. J. Wright Dodge truck. After striking the lamp post at the corner of Washington and Front streets and demolishing the globe, the car come on down the sidewalk in front of the Rensselaer Baking Co. shop for about 75 feet, before the driver stopped the brute. Fortunately no one on the sidewalk was struck and the only damage done was to the street lamp, headion up on the sidewalks and headon up on the sidewalks and against the store fronts, but this was the first time we ever saw one make a straight shoot down the walk.
