Radiator Explodes
One day last week after Orville
Hathaway, the genial carrier of one
of the rural routes, had purchased an
auto from the Propst garage and was
going to take it out for a trial, he
thought to see if there was any water

in the act some gas exploded, sending
a volume of fire out of the top of the
radiator, burning the face and eye
brows of Orville very badly. He
ducked as quick as possible and thus
avoided the severity of the explosion.
However, he stood a good chance of
getting very badly injured. Whether!
some one had put gas in the' radia-j
tor or it was a mixture of alcohol -and
water that exploded, there is no
certainty, but the explosion certainly

great exposition in a city to which
railroad travel from all points is

be the occasion when highway senti
ment will be so crystalized and gain
such force from united effort as will
speed the day by many years when
this great country has good roads everywhere.
