stretch OF ROAD iust east OF NAL
ta Bend and near the old NJ w.
Walker farm they decided to over
take Walker Baker who was ahead
and speeded up their 5, horse
power Auburn auto to IS miies
an hour. This specd was a little
too great and tho car commenced
to sway. Realizing his danger,
Mr.. Blosser applied the emergency
brakes, but failed to shut OF the
gasoline. This caused the mach
inc TO swing around and put the
full momentum against the four
wheels sidewise turning II over

part Of the auto hit Mr.. Bloser
and fractured his skull, killing him
almost instantly. Mrs.. Blosser was
