Auto Piston Breaks;
Boys Near Death
Saved by the Electric Light
Suddenly Dying Out and
Startling Them.

A number OF young men had very
close escape from injury Tuesday night
OF last week while working around an
automobile in +. S. Hoffman's barn.
The auto belonged to Carl Kirk and
was not working satisfactorily. The
body had been removed and the boys
were endeavoring to improve its rum
ming. The motor had been started at
fast speed and the boys were standing
alongside leaning over the machine
watching its action when the electric
light overhead momentarily went out.
The young men left in the dark all
Graightened up to see what was the
matter. A moment after the piston
rod In the motor broke, smashing the
other parts badly and sending iron
flying In all directions. That no one
was hit was due solely to the coincidence
of the electric light dying out and
causing the watching boys to draw
away from the motor.
