P FORD KNOCKS MAN DOWN AND THEN RUNS OVER HIM Shortly -after 8 o’clock Monday - evening, T. Martin of Nymore was knocked down by a Ford which later ran over him.

Mr. Martin started across the street from the. Bemidji Electric company store when the car hit him and knocked him down. He grasped hold of the rod on the front of the car and was trying to get on his feet again after the car had slowed down considerably, when Miss Beech evidently lost her sense of con- . trol and started the car in motion again, throwing Mr. Martin under the car.
