Show Fair Motorists Have Thriller It is an unusual thing for a Ford automobile to get the best of anyone insofar as management is concerned, and it is hardly ever recorded where the little "devils" get away from anyone even a woman. But new history was established tho early days of this week aud it lias not and may never be recorded on the pages of history. It was up to three fair demagogues of the Centerflcld schools to make tho new history. They have mads their "hit," and are ever glad and willing to step down and out as "history "his-tory makers.' It happened this way. The three teachers, yearning for something more amusing than tho school room, planned a trip to Gunnison Gun-nison for the purpose of attending the picture show. Two young men were taken along in caso of a busted tire, but the car was piloted by one of the teachers. Everything went "lovely" with the pilot until an effort was made to stop In front of the Casino confectionery. With good Intent In-tent the lady driver supposedly put her foot on tho break pedal. But, alas, the foot fent astray, and instead in-stead the car was thrown into low gear. With a lurch the machino shot, on the sidewalk and, smashing a bi--ycle and running over a barrel of ice cream, was headed for the entrance en-trance of the Casino theater when a bravo man with heroic heart throttled throt-tled the front wheel of tho mad Ford and got it under control. Fortunately Fortunate-ly no one was hurt, but the fair driver driv-er was given a lesson that will be everlasting. For the benefit of those living in our sister town, it. must bo known that driving automobiles on the sidewalks side-walks is strictly forbidden. |
