PASSENGERS IN DOOLY ELEVATOR
HAVE AN EXCITING EXPERIENCE

Eight passengers who were descend
ing from the third floor in the east ele-
vatOr Of the Dooly block at noon yes
terday had an experience that made
their hair stand on end and themselves
wish they had been better boys Things
looked serious for a time, but fortu-
nately the casualties were confined to
nothing worse than trembling limbs
and blanched cOuntenances.
Leroy Adams, the operator, was per-
sonally conducting party of hungry
tourists from the offices on the upper
floors TO the street entrance. Three Of
the tourists possessed juvenile DISPOSE
tons, and after the car had passed
the third floor they concluded to turn
the affair into a rough house. They
crowded Adams against the front of
the car until he was in danger Of being
pushed against the rapidly passing
panorama Of floor beams and iron lat
tice work.
In order to save the buttons on his
waistcoat and himself from decapita-
ton Adams was compelled to let 20 OF
the .JntrOlling lever and brace with
all bis might and both hands against
the door jambs OF the car. Then fol-
lowed a series Of fancy stunts that
made those inside think they were
troop of Forrey's rough riders. With a
truly feminine scent for situations the
car seemed TO realize that the curb had
been removed; it began TO cut up ca
pers, and by the time it had descended
to a point midway between the third
and second floors it was dropping like
leaden hail in South Africa.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1900-02-25

At this point the automatic safety
appliances were rudely awakened from
their Rip Van Wrinkle nap and tried
fTantically to clutch the stopping ar
rangements at the sides of the shaft.
They didn't clutch worth a cent, but
they did grind out a series of thunder
Gus noises in addition to transmitting
a vibratory movement to the building
that startled the occupants Of the fifth
floor offices.
R-r-ruppety r-rupp, ker chunk,
bang! it went, until the elevator fell
to point midway between the second
and street entrance floors. There it
stopped for breath, and thought it
would go up to the top of the building
and see if it could not come down more
genteel like The boys had ceased
their skylarking by this time, but the
devil himself was in the elevator 1t
got as far as the second floor, when il
concluded that gravity was irresistible.
and down it came with another series
of r-r-Tuppety T-rupp ker chunks until
it reached a place about four feet from
the street. landing where the clutch got
a firm hold and the passengers a shak
ing up that sent their wits wool gather
ing.
A more thoroughly frightened aggre-
cation of tourists never tackled per-
sonally conducted expedition. They
lost all sense of dignity and social pO-
sition IN a mad effort to scramble out
of that between -life-and- death trap.
After they had reached a place where
stable equilibrium prevailed they said
dreadfully uncomplimentary things
about Mr. Dooly and his elevators.
