ter was steering the car which head
ed for the curb and hit the rear end
of (ho Mnxwell touring cur, belonging
to Mrs. E. V. Mitddox.
The Maxwell was knocked over the
curb and onto the sidewalk in front
of the Hhuftta. Neither car was darn
aged to any great extent and follow
ing a short pause, the truck took the
Kord In, tow again and arrived at tlio
flivver operating room and rejuve
nating hospital without further mis
hap, where the Ford, will undergo an
operation for the transplanting of
magneto glands and a program of
general recuperution treatment. ,
