10 escape injury. Mr. r.. b.. Clements. a

Richmond. was also in the place. and be-
fore he could get out the car struck the
MATCHBOX with great force and Knocked
St off the platform. The house rolled
down the e~mbdnkment. and was badly
broken up by the fall. There was a fire
in the stove at the time. and Mr.. Glenn
ents was slightly burned. I'm addition TO
