AUTO TURNS OVER ON WOMAN
Five Passenger Car Turns Turtle
 Without Iniurlns chauffeuress

PHOENIX, Jan. 16.-One of the most remarkable performances of an automobile occurred near Mesa yes terday afternoon when the. five pas senger touring car driven by Mrs. Paul Fuller, wife of Engineer Paul Fuller, turned turtle with her and imprisoned her completely under it, yet without doing her any serious in jury. ,lxld
 Mrs. Fuller was driving in the di. rection of Tempe when the accident happened. These sort of turnings over happen quicker than people can think anyway, and so it was in this case. Before anything was discovered to be wrong. snap and crash and the machine was upside down.
 The drivers of the Chandler car coming that way a few minutes after saw the overturned automobile, and got out to see what was the matter. They found Mrs. Fuller underneath. They rescued her from her position and took her into the machine and went on to Mesa. It was not known if the machine was badly damaged CT not.
