Big Accident as Car Goes Down Street The car came down North Uni- versity avenue. It was yellow, with wire wheels. The time of the event was at 2 p. m. in the afternoon. The car was coming down the street at about 20 miles per hour and came down the street blowing its horn for anyone that might have been in the way to move for if they didn't they would be in the way. So there was one thing that couldn't get out of the way but the car kept coming on and on be-' cause it didn't know anything was in the way. Finally it came to the' crossing but it was too late and the SCIENCE BAFFLED BY SCANDINAVIAN MOTOR MRAHO MARK MAKERS MAY MEANDER A MONTH Non-Stop Hop From Lambert Field, St. Louis, to Lambert Field, St. Louis, Continues.

PAUL, Minn., Aug. 15.-Gene Sarazen, a great money player, with his eyes focused on another bag of gold, led a spectacular as- sault on par over the Kreller coun- ty course today and snatched a one-shot margin in the big final for the $10,000 St. Paul open golf championship.

BUCKLEY BUMPER BAREDBY BULLS Tramp Tells True Tale to Town Thug Thnatcher; Takes Traitors to Task. (By Associated Press) TOLEDO, O., Aug. 15. - A man about 35 years old who surrendered in Stryker, Ohio, this afternoon signed a confession according to authorities, that he shot and killed Jerry Buckley, radio announcer for station WMBC in Detroit several weeks ago.

He was told that Marshall N. Far- ber, who is also a deputy sheriff, was at work in his auto repair shop.
