Auto Smashup in Front of National Bank Causes Two Cars Damaged
Wednesday night at ten o'clock two automobiles collided on the street in front of the National Bank. Jacob A.

The Wooster car, license No 128660, was badly damaged and left where it stopped. Moser's car was towed to Martin garage. No injuries beyond shaken nerves. Town drivers are urged to slow down and speeders be fined to curb the practice.
