for making the proposed celebration 1
a success :

Ciymer Man surely Has
Share nf Bad Luck
A nemesis seems to be following
> • f
George McNulty, of Buck Run, and
as lie believes in bad luck running
vZ?
in threes, he is confidently expecting
the third blow, but not just knowing
where it will strike.
Monday he motored to Coalport,
Clearfield county. Upon returning,
the front cross-member, the part
that holds the front spring to the
bottom of the radiator, was broken.
| This punched a hole in the radiator
and as a consequence, the water
wasted away, the motor became over
heated, stopped, and the bearings
were burned. McNulty, not know
ing what was the trouble, decended
from his seat and starred to crank
the machine, but to no avail. Turn
ing it on the batteries, he attempted
to spin the motor, when it back-fired
| breaking his arm. He was later
i brought to Ciymer, where the fract
ure was reduced.
Of course this would not put Mr.
McNulty in a very good humor, and
when he reached home there was
more trouble. One of his youngsters
had accidently fallen from a chair
and a bad fracture of the right arm
resulted.
