Investigation he has made into the affair. Mr.
Walsh said that in justice TO the memory Of his
soI he had probed into the matter and is salts
fed that il was not through reckessness the
accident happened, that his son did every
thing possible 10 avert the accident. and proved
tis worth by sticking 10 his post at the WHEEL
Of the machine when he could have jumped, as
did Mr. Pei. who sat beside him.
AIr. Walsh has had careful examination
made IF The automobile. and experts who have
examined it state that there is every appearance
thst Tlnson Walsh realized that it was neces-
ssry 10 stop the machine, as the power was
turned OF, the emergency brakes applied and
even the fuel supply shut of. To offset the
charge that the young man was going at a
frigbtful speed, il has been found by
animation Of the speed indicator that the ma
chine was going only al the rate Of thirty miles
IN hour al the time of the accident, and not
sixty miles. as has been stated The eXamina-
;iou proves that the accident was due solely 10
ihe bursting Of the rear tire, which caused the
machine to Skid" and it is presumed that at
This point the young man shut off the power and
applied the brakes

miles an hour, and that when the machine
"skidded' he Jumped as did the chauffeur, who
was sitting on the forward step Of the machine.
Nj PelI says that Mr.. Walsh also could have
Jumped in time 10 save himself. but the young
man probably realized that he had his sister and
others IN the rear seats and that it was his duty
even If 1t cost him his life, to exert every power

Mr. Walsh says that Miss Gilbert. who Was
following the automobile, was the first at ms

Indians engaged in repair
work on the sections Of the San

to promptly convert animals
killed by trains along that road
into beef. The cattleman did
not fancy this thrift on the part
of the red men, as it removed
their claim for payment from
the company for stock so killed.
An Arizona Ranger happened to
be in that section when this
happened recently. and he plac-

they were fined $40 each for
their fresh beef experience.
