Harrowed His Corn Ground
One of the most unusual sights
ever seen thruout this section was
witnessed by the farmers of Rapho
township last week in the vicinity of
Hossler’s meeting house. Mr. Harry
Witmer, the hustling and progressive
farmer on the Shelly farm, was busy
harrowing his corn ground. Have
you ever heard of anything like that
being done the first week in Feb-

AUTOMOBILE STRIKES
TWO YOUNG COASTERS
There was another automobile mis-
hap in the east end of town last even-
ing when two boys were injured by
an automobile. Mr. Abram Good, a
tobacco dealer, of Lancaster, was on
his way home and went down town
at only a moderate rate of speed. A
number of boys were coasting at the
intersection of Chestnut and Main
a pair of coasters put in an appear-
ance. The chaffeur stopped his car
so quickly that the rear end slid
around and he was cross-wise in the
road. Harvey, a young son of Rufus
Ressler, was under the car. He had
two ribs fractured. Robert, the 8-
year-old son of Fred Schneider, was
struck by the rear end of the car
when it skidded. He sustained a dis-
located shoulder and cuts about the
head. Mr. Good took young Schneider
to his home and then brought Dr. A.
F. Snyder, who attended him. Young
Ressler ran home.

They're Tired Pulling
Camp Hill's one fire engine has
been abandoned by the firemen of
that borough. They say that the
engine is so heavy that by the time
they get the engine to a fire the blaze
has burned itself out. If the borough
wants service let it get an auto en
gine; the firemen tired pulling.
That comes mighty near being the
situation here. We have a good fire
engine but the firemen are not stuck
on pulling or pushing it around town
to fires or take it out as often as they
should for tests, just for that rea-
son.

HIS BIG CAR SMASHED INTO A

SUNDAY AFTERNOON
—NO ONE INJURED
Lieutenant Governor Edward E.
Beidelman, of Harrisburg, and a
number of State officials figured in
an automobile crash in this place, on
Sunday afternoon at 1:30 o’clock.
The car in which the Lieutenant Gov-
ernor was riding was reported as
traveling at a rate of thirty-five miles
per hour. The crash came in front
of the Bulletin office.
Two Fords were standing on the
street in front of the office. The one
machine in which were riding Eph-
raim Hoffman and Frank and Charles
Houseal, all of Maytown, attempted
to turn around. The Harrisburg
driver saw the Ford turn, but was go-
ing so fast that he could not stop or
turn out of the way. It hit the Ford
amidships and careened it over to the
other side of the street, The Beidel-
man car hit the Ford with such force
as to throw the former cross-wise on
Main street and it was within a few
feet of crashing into a Ford owned
by Mr. Henry Witmer of East Done-
gal. The large car carried license
No. 144 and the Ford No. 178,350.
