ming at the rate Of about % or 80 miles
an hour, a whiskey flask came crashing
through a window under which Captain
Border was sitting. Capt. Borden was
asleep and as good luck would have it
the window sash and blind were down.
The flask was thrown with such tremen-
dous force that it knocked a hole
through the glass, broke through the
Stats of the blind, and fell on the oppo-
site side of the car at a lady's feet.
The crash was loud enough to startle
the forty or fifty occupants of the car.
Captain Borden was struck in the face
with numerous small pices of glass and
his lip was cut by a piece. Small pieces
Of glass also lodged in his hair, but for
tunately he as not badly hurt.
