HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Racing Auto Jumps Track and Flies
Through the Air

A dispatch from Detroit last night says:
While Barney Oldfeld's racing Winton au-
tomobfle was running nearly sixty miles an
hour at the Crosse Point track this after
noon. in the ten-mile open event, one of the
front tires on the machine wore through
and burst, throwing the car into the fence
, and inturing Frank Shearar, a spectator, SO
terribly that he died in an ambulance Ell
route to the hospital.
The machine went fifty feet through tho
air. and Oldfield. who kept his seat, had a
marvellous escape from death. He received
several cut about the body and had one rib
broken.
1t was an afternoon OF accidents at the
track, two other high-power machines
those driven by Harry" Cunningham (spe-
ctaD and Henri Page Decauvillel-comfng
to grief because of tire troubles. Fortu-
nately no one was hurt in either of these
accidents.
Oldfelo sparker gave out a few feet
from the tape In the race during which tho
accident occurred. and Oldfeld lost nearly
two miles before he repaired the damage
and started after Harry Cunningham,
the only other entry. The tires of the ma
chine were the same ones Oldield used in
races at Cleveland last week. and as he was
turning into the stretch on his seventh mile
the friction on the upper front tire burned
1t through.
The track is banked high at the turn and
tifo var, Win its tremendous momentum,
shot toward the outer edge of the track,
which Is six feet above the ground beyond.
Oldheld had just time to twist his brake
and head for the spot between two trees.
Shearar was standing against the fence at
this point. and the machine struck him
squarely. breaking both legs in several
places and fracturing his skull. He was
thrown seventy-five feet and never recov-
cred consciousness.
Oldfield had presence Of mind enough to
throw himself backward on the car, which
went crashing through a low tree and
landed, complete wreck. fifty feet from
| where 1t went through the fence. A brother
| of Shearar's was standing near him and had
narrow escape.
In five-mile race Harry" Cunningham's
racer lost a tire he turned Off the back
stretch. The machine went through the in
side fence. but did not upset. and Cunning
ham cleverly steered 1t across and off the
track, down a road which was fortunately
near. One wheel Of the was smashed.
Henri Page lost a front tire in the ten
mile handicap. but succeeded in checking
his machine before 1t struck the fence, and
escaped without injury, although two
wheels were wrecked.
