Dr. Kresler Has an Auto.

Dr. A. J. Kresler is now provid ed with an automobile. J. J. Montgomery, accompanied by an expert from the agenoy. arrived from Indianapolis Sunday after, noon, with one he had bought for the dootor in that city. It is an Oldemobile of 5 horse-power, and a top speed of 20 to 25 miles, It has a carriage top, and is built somewhat higher up from the ground than the prevailing custom in automobiles. Mr. Montgomery and his companion had a pretty tough time coming here against the bitter northwest wind and when they got here Jaok was sneezing right along in unison with the puffing of the auto, and it is even stated that the auto would sometimes run several blocks after the motor was shut off just by the power of Jack’s sneezes; but that report was probably an exaggeration.
