DARE DEVIL STUNT OF
DRIVER OF AUTOMOBILE

Sylvan Lake, S. D., May G.
Fred Nash, who lives near here,
has gained the reputation of
being the most dare devil auto
mobile driver in the Black Hills
A few days ago he performed
the feat of driving his automo-
bic from Wind Gave TO Hot
Springs, a distance of IA miles,
In FL minutes. Not content with
this feat, Nash drove his ma
chine up the steep hill from
Custer to Sylvan Lake, then,
turning around, the descent vas
made at almost lightning rapid
lty. For an experiment the ma
chine then was started back
ward up the steepest ascent to
the lake, which is several thou
sand feet above sea level, and
this feat also was accomplished.
The hill leading to Sylvan Lake
Is one of the steepest inclines
on Travelled roads in the Black
Hills, and heretofore it has
tested the capacity Of many
autos to negotiate it while be-
ing driven forward, while Nash
accomplished it backward.
