Misses Mae Rittenhouse and her cou-
sin, Audrey Deniston. of indianapolis.
Ind, Georgia Wood, Blanche Wing
and Louise jackson. left here Satur-
day afternoon on a short camping
trip and returned home this morning
after a unique and delightful exper-
ience They drove to the Twin noun
tains. seven miles northwest of town,
where they established camp Tor the
night. going on the next day to Will
son creek where they remained until
this morning. It was their first ex-
perience of the kind and they enjoyed
1t immensely. The weather was nne
and they imbibed enough ozone to give
them the appetite of an ostrich. They
heard the yelpinE and the barking OF
a pack OF coyotes in the distance,
while down the canon occasionally
reached them the cAterwauling OF q
mountain lion. Despite its ressmbl-
ance to .the wild and woolly" the
girls had delightful time and were
reluctant to return to the exactions

In the wild burst for the car doors
men ordinarily cool headed seemed to
forget everything but their desire to
get off the car as soon as possible.
In this women and children were
disregarded in a number Of cases. One

and stepped upon. Another little
girl sustained painful injuries after
having been thrown down to the floor
Of the car in the rush.
To add to the excitement the wood
work Of the motorman's vestibuls
caught fire and the binding smoke
was blown back into the car, increas-
ing the frantic effort of the passen-
gers to get out Of the cor as quickly
as possible.
The woman who received the worst
injuries gave a scream Of terror and
jumped headlong from the window
