FATAL RUNAWAY
One Killed, 10 Hurt When
Coach Goes Over Cliff.
Stage Coach Carrying Excurslonlsts
is Hurled Over Yosemite Preoi.
pice When Horses Be-
come Frightened.

Yosemote. Cal, June 5.-An Allen
town man was instantly killed, three
women were seriously injured and
seven others were slightly hurt here
when a runaway stage coach plunged
down the mountain side and over a
precipice. carrying its load Of passen'
gers to death and injury.
The four horses attached to the
coach were also killed and the heavy
vehicle itself was crushed to kindling
wood in the disaster. which occurred
at one of the steepest and most dan
gerous points of the cliffsde road
down into the Yosemite valley. The
accident was indirectly due to the
failure Of the brakes on the coach to
work when the four horses became
frightened.
The dead man, whose skull was frac-
tured in the crash, Is Reuben S. Lei
senring, OF Allentown. Pa. real es-
tate dealer, who was for some years a
resident of Philadelphia, where he
was connected with the Smith, Kline
& French company.
The seriously injured include Miss
Margaret Weir. of Boston; Miss A.
jacket, of New York, and Miss Dizen-
dorfer, of Boston, while seven other
passengers suffered minor cuts and
bruises and nervous shock incident to
the tragedy.
All were members of a Raymond
Whitcomb touring party of forty per-
sons, which started out in four coaches
for a trip into the Yosemite hills.
Runaway on Dangerous Road.
The first of the coaches had begun
the perilous return trip. with the high
walls of the mountain on one side and
a precipice on the other, when the
lead horses became frightened and
began to plunge wildly. Directly in
front lay sharp turn in the road
where there was barely room for the
coach to swing around. and realizing
their peril the women began to scream,
adding to the terror of the horses,
which began to gallop madly.
With all \his strength the driver
flung on the brakes. but they snapped,
and although he pulled on the reins
with such violence that he sprained
both wrists, he was unable to hold
the maddened animals. and the coach.
rocking and swaying out over the
edge Of the precipice, went plunging
down the mountain side, swinging
about the sharp curves, while the
cries of horror Of those on the coach
were echoed by the shouts Of their
fellow tourists, who could see the
whole tragedy being enacted below
them
Twice the rear wheels Of the coach
slipped from the road in turning the
curves of the sharp descent and hung
out over space. and twice the coach
reeled over against the rocky walls Of
the mountains till the force of the i'm.
pact righted II again.
