Motorists Held Up by Farmer Clash Near St Jacob
An account from the St. Louis Ford sales staff describes Ed Studert and colleagues traveling from St. Louis to Greenville and then to Troy with two Ford runabouts.

The farmer demanded damages for his horse, the magistrate released the motorists after noting minor injuries and a harness repair, and the affair ended with the farmer’s threats of arrest for cruelty. The item also includes an unrelated kidney remedy advertisement.
