LARGE FRUIT TRUCK
SMASHES WINDOW
At the James Henry Barber Shop, on
North Meridian Street, Tues-day
Afternoon.
Quite a little excitement was caused
Tuesday afternoon at about 4: 30
when the large fruit truck belonging
to the Byers Fruit Company of Ko-komo,
crashed into the large plate
glass window at the James Henry
Barber shop. The truck had been
backed up to the curbing to unload
fruit for the Curren's grocery and
was left in reverse, causing it to back
into the window when it was started.
Although the accident was of a seri-ous
nature, Mr. Henry is considering
it fortunate that no one was injured.
