The police ambulance was called by mistake by a taxicab during the heavy rain showers this morning about 7:30. Driver Boyd C. Luse was the driver and regardless of the mistake delivered the passenger.

A nurse living on East Third Street received a hurry call to go on a case at the Williamsport Hospital. Her mother dialed what she thought was the taxicab company but evidently got the police station. The numbers being similar. The mother mentioned something about it being a case of poison and requested the driver to hurry.

When Officer Luse drove up to the address given, a woman who turned out to be the nurse came out of the house with a handbag. The officer thinking that someone had attempted suicide prepared to make a hurried trip.

The officer remarked upon seeing the nurse said that she did not look ill, and the reply was that she was feeling fine, having just had a cup of coffee.

After the incident had been explained, the police officer, because of the weather conditions, volunteered to take the nurse to the hospital so that she might give more prompt attention to the case for which she had been called.
