Statement by Mr.. Push.
Robert d. Pugh, driver of the car,
was seen this morning at the Manitou
hotel, where he Is suffering from a

and had driven four and one half miles.
so 1t can be determined how fast we

called DIR. Titus, who made fast trip
to the scene.
Upon going back with parties from
Placerville, including the physician
there, we were informed that Mr.. Id
dings was in bad condition and the
