tance of about 1923 miles, but the cars
were somewhat delayed on the start.
The car was running at only about
four miles an hour when a farmer
was seen going In the same direction.
Strang turned aside, but the bank
suddenly gave way and his car slid

have been so reckless that others who
started in his car refused to ride
with him. Strang was recently sued
for divorce by his wife, a beautiful
