STAGE COACH
TIPS; z WOMEN
ARE INJURED

The stage coach owned by the Selig
Polyscope company. and driven by
Charlie Reeves, turned over while
rounding curve lear the Lonnie
Green ranch Friday afternoon and
Mrs. Vic Firth and Mrs, John Bene-
dict were quite badly hurt. There
were sixteen beside the driver on the
coach at the time. twelve on top and
four inside, and all were more or less
bruised in tha mad slide fifty feet
down an embankment
The fact that the stage was being
driven up an incline and not down it
is all that saved the occupants from
more serious injury. The accident
occurred at a point where the en-
bankment talers on for hundred
and fifty feet and ends abruptly in
rocky gulch. The way is rock
strewn ana coming In contact with
these stones in the terrific scramble
caused the severe bruises that many
are carrying about today.
Mr.. VIII Duncan and Myrtle Sted-
man, leading man and leading woman
of the Sells Polyscope company. were
on the top OF the vehicle and were
hurled through the air and landed .i.-
ty feet down the embankment. Both

No reason Is ascribed for the acci-
dent other than 1t must have been top
heavy.
Mr.. Rex De Rosselli, who was on a
hill above the coach at the time of the
accident. in describing 1t said. Il have
been in the motion picture business a
long time and have seen so many ac-
eidents that am somewhat hardened
to them and rarely am afraid, but yes
terdsy when | saw the stage tipping

There ii was on a narrow road with
an embankment l50 feet down AMI
nothing apparently to avert disaster.
The possibilities OF a bad accident
.ere SO great that ] found myself
covering my eyes as the coach tipped.
However. the coach tipped slowly and
enabled many to jump. That is all
that saved them. A box of red apples
on the top OF the coach broke open
aud were scattered down the incline.
To me they looked like rivulets OF
blood trickling down battle-stormed
parspet Everybody laughed after they
picked themselves up because then
they saw the funny side"

time and by their concerted effo {;

! DEATH AND Devastation
IN WAKE Of TORNADO.
Forty-one Killed and More Than One
Hundred Injured In Twenty
Towns In Oklahoma.

Oklahoma City. Okla.-As detailed
reports come in the extent Of devasta-
ton and loss of life and property from
Saturdays tornado increases.
It is known that twenty towns were
struck by the storm, which swept
northward through portions of south
western and central Oklahoma; that
two villages. Butler and Foss, were lit
orally wiped out and forty-one dead
and more than 100 injured are account
ed for.
Other deaths are reported but can
not be verified because swollen
streams prevent rescue parties from
exploring whole sections.
All central Oklahoma seems to be
demoralized and it may be days before
loss of life and property is known.
Western Oklahoma streams are out
of their banks. The Rock Island
bridge over the Cimarron river. thirty
miles south of Enid, was washed out
