CAR TRIES TO CLIMB A TELEPHONE POLE

Miss Geraldine Smith, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Smith of this city, received several cuts and bruises about the face Sunday evening, when an automobile in which she was riding in company with her cousins, Harry and Allen Smith, of Earl Park bumped into a telephone pole. The party had just left the Hiram Day residence on Cullen street, with Harry Smith at the wheel. In some manner the young man lost control of the car which immediately jammed into a telephone pole. Miss Smith was cut about the face from the broken windshield. She was taken to the hospital and her injuries dressed and then taken to her home.
