i While O. W. Miman was malc-
iiiK his mail route Saturday,
using a stripped down Ford car,
he had a blow out In the left
front srheel and in applying his
break too quick caused another
blow out in the back wheel on
the same side, resulting in his
car turning completely over, pin
ning him under it. but luckily
Rev. Horak and others who hap
peoed to be close by, went to his
assistance and lifted the car off
of him, and he came on to town
with Rev. Horak, He was only
slightly injured on one elbow,
while the only damage to the car
was a broken windshield and two
inner tubes. He and Jodie
Donath went back out and car-
ried two inner tubes and drove
the car back to town that after-
noon. A narrow esca|>e, but
juNt another proof that you can
turn over Fords and they will
run just as well after as if they
were never turned over.
The Fourth Cele-
brated Monday
Although Monday, July 5th,
was ushered in b.v a big rain,
practically every business house
in Caldwell was closed and the
day was celebrated in various
ways to take the place of the 4th
which came on Sunday. The
feast and ball itt Wiederhold
Park was attended by a fairly
good crowd as the day grew on
and the ground dryed off from
the rain, and notwithstanding
tin; drawback u good time was
had by those who attended the
feast. Had it not been for the
heavy rain no doubt there would
have been an immense crowd
there as this was the only place
at which a celebration of any
kind was to be held.

less than the city prices on the same or similar goods.
Oí course we are losing big money at these re-

merchandise out. •
