Automobiles Collide Near Grabill in Drunken Crash
Last Monday evening about eight o'clock a crash occurred between a car owned and driven by Frank Zeimmer of Harlan and another owned by Dr. B O Shook of St. Joe driven by his son Donald. The collision, one mile east of Grabill near the Goldsmith residence, sent both cars into a ditch. Shook’s car suffered about $300 in damage charged to Zeimmer, who was intoxicated. Zeimmer's car was less damaged. The piece also notes a recent public challenge between a Dodge and an Overland to climb a bank barn grade, with the Overland proving superior in that contest.
