Service for the attachments was obtained "at usual place of res idence," which is 1616 Willis ave nue.

Last Sunday as Olof Lundberg and Fred Carlson were going down the hill Just east of the Heebner quarry, west of town, in Olof'a auto mobile, they met with an accident that put Fred on tho "bad order" list for a few days. When about the middle of the hill they met a team and as the road is too narrow for two to pass Olof was forced to turn aside and run his car In the ditch on tho side of the road, turning the car on lis side. Fred Jumped, and falling on his leg, sprained It severe ly. He was brought to town and Dr. Walker fixed him up. Mr. Lund berg says he did not see the team until he was upon It, as there was a slight turn in the road and the bad condition of the rond caused the ac cident. Mr. Lundberg escaped In jury and the car was not damaged.
