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. 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111161111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 iiiiii!

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. 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111161111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 iiiiii!
