Track "Runs Wild"
A truck of Penn Dairies, Inc.,
"ran wild" Tuesday afternoon on
East Main Street and created a
lot of excitement but little dam-age.
The truck had been loaded
at the side of the Lititz Milk De-pot,
and was moved to the front of
the store. As the driver stopped
the machine, his foot slipped from
the brake and landed on the ac-celerator,
causing it to jump for-ward.
A car, belonging to Dr. Hv Wal-ters
of Rothsville, was parked a
short distance in front of the truck,
and the latter machine, as if know-ing
this, jumped sideways in some
manner When it lunged forward,
went up on the pavement and came
to a stop wedged between a tree
and the porch of the home of Dr.
I. H. Hertz. One of the porch pil-lars
was badly scraped and the
truck was slightly damaged. Two
children walking on the pavement
narrowly escaped serious injury,
however, for when they saw the
truck coming toward them on the
pavement -they were so frightened !
they could not move. It stopped ;
about three feet from them
Three Hurt In Accident
Three local men, N. M. Badorf,
Dr. E. E. McMullen and K. E. Wit-myer,
were shaken up and bruised
Tuesday noon when the machine

over twice and was badly dam-aged,

escaped with cuts and bruises.
