Wild RIDE IN The
THREE FLAGS CAR
Enthusiasts on Tour of Fland=
ers 40" just Miss Speed
ing Railway Train
By r. R. L'HOMMEDIEU

George Meinzinger and Paul Bruske,
the present crew of the Flanders go"
under three flags car will treasure
long in memory the exciting escapades
with which they celebrated June 21.
the longest day in the year. That part
of their trip found them in the center
OF the rugged state of Missouri, trav-
cling a road covered with boulders
scanned with deep ruts and bristling
with stumps. They had done rs miles
OF this sort of going and had been
climbing series of prodigious hills,
without corresponding declines, when
almost without warning they came out
on the top of precipice overlooking
the Gaseonade rapids, which doomed
along below them fully 400 feet
Meinzinger locked his foot brake,
shut off his engine, took a firm hold on
his emergency brake and started down
winding sort of trail, both passen-
gers fairly certain that it would come
to case of jump into a tree top along
the cliff Slowly and steadily the car
slid along, the brakes holding nobly.
Twice the declivity was so steep that
the car seemed to veritably stand on
end. Locked wheels would not stop
1t completely, but they checked it just
enough to guide 1T to the bottom in
safety.
But there was no wagon bridge
across the Gasconade. Inquiry devel-
oped the fact that there was none
within a days journey. The ferry
boat had been wrecked in q recent
freshet. The railroad bridge alone re-
manned. The right of way belonged
to three stock trains from the west
The operator allowed that there might
be enough time between the first and
second sections of the installment to
enable the car to run the bridge in the
opposite direction. The conductor of
a detained westbound freight volun-
tered to cross the river and flag any
train that might interrupt the cars
progress across. The moment the first
stock train passed the Flanders go"
bounced up on the ties, one wheel be-
tween the tracks, the other outside
Across the bridge she bumped her way
at 90 miles an hour her crew listening
for a warning whistle, Meinzinger in
tent at the wheel Bruske with a piece
of timber with which to enable the
car to jump the rails if it became nee
essary before the road crossing at
Jerome was reached. Far ahead, flag
in hand, stood the friendly conductor.
The bridge was reached in safety,
the long trestle was also crossed and
the car was approaching the safety
zone when the coming train whistled
for the bridge. Meinzinger slowed
down, Bruske jumped out and tossed
his timber next the rail, the car bound
ed out exactly at the roadway and the
fiagman barely had time to furl his
bunting up the track when the big
freight thundered past at 40 miles an
hour, SO close that the wind fiuttered
the three flags on the Flanders go"
hood as if a gale We're blowing.

strained the supervisors from enforc-
ing their rate. This proceeding has
been repeated each year, except in 1906,
but the first suit, which viii decide
all the rest. has not been tried. The
water company has been collecting on
the rate established in 1901.

JOKE WITH PISTOL
NEARLY A TRAGEDY
Salesman Poses as FOOtpad and
Sends Bullet Through
Friends Body

Harry Kirwen, salesman for the
American magazine company, played a
practical joke ON his roommate.
Charles Munroe, employed at Chick"
Wrights billiard parlors, in their room

suming the role of a footpad. Munroe
lies at Mount Zion hospital with bull
let wound through his abdomen. The
bullet went clear through his body and
lodged in his right forearm, but did
not touch any vital spot and Munroe
will probably recover.
Munroe went to bed early WedneS-
day night and Kirwen returned about
o'clock yesterday morning after at
tending banquet He stopped to chat
with Roscoe Terrill the night clerk.
and, seeing an automatic revolver in a
drawer behind the counter, Kirwen
said: Let me have that revolver and 1
VIII throw scare into Monroe" Terrill
handed him the weapon and Kirwen
went upstairs to his room. He awoke
Munroe and, Disgusting his voice, said:
Throw up your hands and give me
your money and watch quick"
Half asleep, Monroe rose from bed
and was searching for his money and
watch when the safety clutch of the
revolver which Kirwen kept pointed
at him, slipped The weapon exploded
and Munroe fell back with a groan.
Kirwen rushed from the room and
called a taxicab and Munroe was taken
to the central emergency hospital and
later to Mount Zion hospital
Kirwen was heart broken at the un-
expected outcome of his joke and
walled at the emergency hospital IF
my friend Charley dies l want to die,
too" He was arrested by Policeman
Fella and taken TO the city prison.
After making a statement to Captain
Wall he was booked on a charge of as
sault to murder Munroe said that he
was satisfied it was an accident, as he
and Kirwen had been friends for years.

after a washing and polishing, which
removed the accumulated dust and mud
OF four states through which it has
passed in the last week.
The car got an early start from Col
bert, Okla, crossed the Red river by a
ferry and made the trip to Dallas with
out incident aside from a drenching
rain, which made the roads very heavy.
At Denison, the breakfast stopover,
Meinzinger left for his home in Detroit,
while J. Lane, who had driven the car
from Quebec to Terre Haute, resumed
the task of plotting it on it's journey.
Lane is entirely recovered from the
wrenched shoulder which he sustained
while crossing Kentucky and is conf
dent he will be able to see the run
through to Mexico City, despite the
fact that the Dallas motorists unite in
proAouncing the feat an impoSSibility.
The arrival of the car in Dallas today
was made the occasion of celebration
by the Studebaker Brothers of Texas
and a large squad Of Flanders go"
owners, who met the car outside the
city and escorted it in with banners
flying.
Unless the severe rains OF the last
