CADDILAC SEDAN UPSETS
COMING DOWN FISHER'S HILL
The occupants of a large Caddilac
sedan had a very unusual experi-
ence while descending Fisher's Hill,
west of Rheems some time during
Jaturday night. The concrete road
was slippy, owing to the rain and
when thé car was near the residence
of John McBride, it upset. Just how
badly the occupants of the car were
injured could not be learned. The
car lay there until Monday when
it was.taken to the auto graveyapd
west of Florin. No one seems to
know who owned the car.
