Careless & Imprudent Driving in Blockton in 1907

The Blockton News of 1907, reprinted by the October 3rd, 1907 Worth County Times, reported that Winton Markley of New Market was arrested at the instigation of Guy Stonebreaker of Grant City, who alleged that Mr. Markley drove his automobile in such a way as to frighten Mr. Stonebreaker’s horse team and making it run away. “Brother Markley is finding out that the bitter goes with the sweet, and that the bloated bondholder who rides in his auto must not mistreat Missourians by trying to show them after that fashion,” was the observation of the Blockton News.
