fell with a heavy thud. The headlight
was blown completely of the car. One
of the axles was badly bent and several
windows were broken by the explosion.
The passengers were badly shaken up
by the explosion and made a rush for
the doors.
Among the passengers was Mrs. r. A.
Herbert, Of No. Al Hayward street. this
city, and her nine-year-old daughter.
Dorothy. The latter had one of her

torn on and the flooring wrenched
from its fastenings. The crew was
not injured, but emerged from the
shattered ruin with their pistols
