doing The car was making about 2,
miles an hour and the force behind i
was so strong that the wheels, turnet
sidewise, plowed a deep furrow in tn
hard ground for several rods before tb'
machine stopped in a heap. The pas
sengers escaped uninjured, but the rea
trouble was just fairly started. Whel
the machine stopped it was a mass o
flames and there was nothing the trav
cling gentlemen could do but stant
back and watch it burn. Mr.. Valance,
lost his coat and everything in the ca
but, like his companions, considers him
self lucky to be living. The acciden
happened on a good straight road ant
was all over with in a few seconds; how
ever. there was plenty of excitemen
while it lasted. The car made a com
plete circle in a very small area 9
rather rough prairie, without tippinI
over, and the occupants, after doing
perilous stunt Of "bump the bumps,
escaped u%ninjured.
