From Tuesdays DaiIyJ

Charles R. Howe, chairman of the State Tax Commission, while return ing to Phoenix Sunday morning with his wife and family, had a narrow escape from what might have been a. fatal accident when his auto went over the steep grade of the Copper Basin highway with all aboard. The point was near the saddle, and when the car shot off the road it turned over twice and was badly damaged Mir. Howe and his son were pinned in but Mrs. Howe and daughter in the rear seat managed to jump when the machine made its first lunge, and escaped without any injury what ever. Mir. Howe is only scratched on the face, while his son has not a bruise,
