negotiating with Barney Freilin
ger for the building he now oc
cupies, Barney to move his sa
loon into the new building across
the street, but this deal so far
has not been closed.
Here is another Ford story:
Last Friday Roland Harwell
drove his Ford into the lumber
yard and left it standing with
the motor running while he
stepped to the pump a few rods
distant to get some water. The
Ford misunderstood orders in
in some way, or else it was so
anxious to go that it just couldn't
endure to stand still. Anyway,
it started, and went for the lum
ber yard team of mules standing
near, giving Maud a bump in the
stomach which she didn!t ap
prove of, and she and her mate
performed some capers not down
in the rules of behavior for well
conducted mules. Meanwhile
Mr. Harwell had recovered from
his astonishment and with a few
prodigious strides grabbed a
Ford hind wheel and hung on for
dear life. Help arrived prompt
lv and both the Ford and the
mules were subdued before aeri
ous damage resulted.
