MENINGITIS VICTIM HEALS

A 70-year-old woman was released from the hospital this week after being treated for bacterial meningitis.

DOG TAKES CAR FOR BRIEF SPIN

A dog waiting in a car while at a Pryor car wash slipped the vehicle into gear and drove in a loop before the car came to a stop. Pryor police officer Brent Crittenden said the dog’s owner was washing the car when the 70-pound pit bull terrier somehow shifted the car into reverse. He said the car was impounded after its owner was unable to provide proof of insurance.
