Looking Back to 1942: Chief Feathergill Has a Third Accident in Squad Car

From the January 4, 2017, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."

1942, 75 Years Ago.

"Chief of Police Horace Feathergill is probably wondering if fate or somebody isn't preparing him for the worst.   Yesterday while he was driving the city squad car carefully about the community it was hit by a skidding car.

"Damage was not great.  The interesting thing is that it is the third time since the car was bought that it has been bumped and each time the chief was driving.

"Details of yesterday's dented fender adventure were lacking because the chief was too busy checking up on the community's tire situation."
