Blinded by the fierce rain and hail

Miss Gift in company with Miss

When between South B and C streets
the two young women, who are en-
ployed at the Starr Piano offices in
the capacity of stenographers, heard
a train whistle and quickly looking
swiftly approaching. Miss Taube

AUTO GETS STUCK;
TRACTION HITS IT
Car Badly Wrecked, but the
Driver, Chas. Baker, of
Canal Dover, Jumps.

With his American touring car mir
ed in the mud about three and half
miles west of the city, Charles Baker,
president of the Exchange bank. at
Canal Dover, Ohio saved himself from
serious injury and possibly death
about 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
when he jumped, just before an east
bound Terre Haute, Indianapolis and
Eastern traction car sideswiped the
machine, badly damaging it. ...
Mr.. Baker was enroute east from
Indianapolis. At the west end of the
National road in Wayne township,
contractor Cronin has begun to
spread crushed stone in preparation
of Macadamizing the highway. Bak-
er, like most autoists, took the side
closest to the car tracks, as he did not
care to cut up his tires on the sharp
rocks. On reaching the township
road running north and south, he start
ed to turn north to enter Richmond
by that route. Here his machine
stuck in the mud. ..........
A few minutes later from the west
appeared the interurban which reach
es here at $50 o'clock. 1t signaled,
and the motorman could not have
helped seeing the distress which Ba-
ker was in according to Bakers state
ments afterwards. In any event the
interurban did not stop and sideswip-
ed the car, breaking the frame,
wheels, steering apparatus and damag-
ing other parts of the machinery, but
not irreparably wrecking the auto.
Mr. Baker was picked up by local
automobilist and brought to Rich
mond where he hunted up an attorney
and is determined to have redress
from the company.
Mr.. Baker saved his skin by jump
ing as soon as he saw the interurban
was not going to stop.
What damage was done to the in
terurban was slight.
