I had no control of the car Thew were
| then only about 20 feet from the bridge
over the aceQuia near the Methodist
I church. The car struck the railing Of
I the bridge, tearing it OF. Three wheels
: of the car, two front and one rear, went
/ off the bridge. Mr.. Lowe jumped from
I the car into the water and caught the
children as they fell from the car, and
! held them above the water until help
arrived. Mrs. Lowe was able to climb
from the car to the bridge. Sufficient
help arrived Immediately and by means
of a telephone pole and a block and
Z tackle the car was soon placed on the
street and it was found not to be seri-
Z Ously damaged
One light was torn off and the radia-
tor somewhat damaged. The car is a
HupmObile, two passenger model and
was run to the garage by means Of its
own power.
Mr.. Lowe and children escaped with

bruised about the body.
If the car had gone a few inches
further it would probably have turned
over in the water. bUrying its occupants
beneath the muddy waters of the ace
quia.

ages in the aceQuia. which have not vet
P. been found. and probably never viii be.
