Boys Play Prank On Autoists And Give Them a Fright.

As Dr. Kresler, accompanied by Joe Larsh and George Hopkins, were returning from a trip to the north Monday evening they struck a figure in front of Alf Donnelly’s residence that looked for the \yorld like a human being. They ran a short distance and then turned back to see what it was they had passed over, and found to their disgust that it was.a dummy, which some prank-playing boys had placed in the road as a joke. The doctor and his party could not see the funny part of the prank.
