A stuck car horn broke the still of the night early this morning in Auburn.

At about 12:45 a.m., Sgt. Hugh Brown heard a horn blowing in the yard at Auburn Motor Sales, Inc., and upon investigation discovered the noise was stemming from a 1974 Pinto, on display.

Sgt. Brown said he had no way of stopping the noise because the vehicle was all locked up, so James Harder of the firm was called to the scene and he took care of it.

At least 900 youngsters are enjoying a summer camp experience. For many children, it is their first.
