Hall was supposed to be on the
swing run of nine miles and to turn
back at Lairds. But when we ar
rived at Lairds the regular driver on
the run to Johnson's s had been kicked
by horse and could not take his
shift
Hall had never driven over the
road between Lairds and Johnson
and had come over it once only as
passenger. He said he didn't
know the road but was willing to
take the stage on. There was an
other driver there who did know the
road and offered his services. but
the boss decided on Hail.
1t seems remarkable that any
stage company should send a driver
out at night over the worst of noun
tain roads who admitted that he
didn't know the way and proved it

and entrusted the lives of human be-
ing to his care.
Even with his unfamiliarity with
the road there would have been no
cause for complaint If Hall had been
a careful driver. OF all the dare
devils that man Hall certainly takes
the cake. or else he is a fool. He
has no business driving stage; he
should be with Buffalo Bill's Wild
West shows.
Here is the situation. We were
on top of the coast range. The road
drops down more than a thousand
feet in about three miles. The road
is rocky and crooked and WINDS
along canyons and the side of the
mountain. The night was almost
pitch dark with fog, heavy dust and
dense forest on either side. And
that man Hall insisted on going down
that mountain on a dead run over a
road he knew nothing about.
Three times the stage hung over
the edge of the grade or stood tilted
ready to upset. Three times the pas
sengers got out and three times Hall
promised to let his horses walk II
they would get in again. But nc
sooner were they we'll seated than
he would take his foot off the brake
and force the team TO the run. The
Indignant passengers took the lines
from the drivers hands took his
whip away, and at last got out and
walked two miles down the noun
tain.
Between Dora and Lairds the
stage had been further delayed for
an hour by a forest fire that laid
four big trees across the road. II
was nearly 8 o'clock when the stage
left Lairds and night was on when
the summit was reached. II was
due at Johnsons for supper between
Ia and but was more than two
hours late.
The first few yards down the
mountain was made at a rattling
pace and everything went all right
then the stage suddenly upheaved
and narrowly missed spilling Its
contents.
The passengers got out and coun-
seled with the driver to 90 slowly
down the mountain. While still liy-
ing up 10 his promise with the horses
In a walk he yelled for the passen-
gers to jump. The stage was going
over the grade. There II hung by a
narrow margin.
Then the driver quarreled with the
passengers over the credit due him
for saving their lives. He said he
was first TO see what was coming and
II he hadn't stopped they would have
all been in the bottom OF the can

for over 5000 against the estate of Robert
