A Look Back in Time: Dec. 3, 1918

December 3, 2018

Quick work by Miss Dorris Kooi and her automobile undoubtedly prevented a serious railroad accident yesterday forenoon by beating out a runaway car of coal at the end of an eight-mile spin on a downgrade.

Four cases of influenza were reported to County Health Officer Hurd yesterday, and one death was reported in the 24 hours that ended at noon today.

One more near-tragedy was reported at 2:15 o’clock this afternoon that could be traced to those unsightly “tombstones” which have been installed on Sheridan’s paved streets under a free 10-year franchise. A Ford collided with the post in turning out of the way of some pedestrians.
