Centennial parade mishap spurs last minute car save
Centennial events feature Dean Davies riding a bright red Liberal convertible after a mixup with a 1912 Ford owned by Burtis Motor Co. Two Liberal youths aided with the rescue as beard judging at the gala dances faced tough calls. River readings jump high as Arkansas River nears peak, with 2.72 feet reported at the bridge. A stray horse near Vinzant and Pearl was captured by officers but later disappeared. The Pink Poodle Posse failed to appear, disappointing many observers.
