 T have this day withdrawn from the race for secretary of state, and have requested the State Central Committee to leave my name off the ticket which is to be certified out to- day.
 "In announcing my withdrawal from this race 1 desire to thank my many friends for their loyal support, and to assure them that l appreciate and will never forget their many kind nesses and valued assistance in the campaign thus far l have, however, other interests and opportunities that were not seen when l announced my candidacy for the office of Secretary of State, and these interests and op- portunities require my immediate and constant attention from now on.
 "In taking this step permit me to say that l have been deeply impress ed by the fairness of my opponents in this campaign and I am quitting the race friendly to both of them. am withdrawing in favor of no candi- date, but purely from personal req sons as above indicated. l am sure the State will have a good Secretary of State, if the people elect, as they will, the man selected at the primar- ies. on March 25."

happy ending, although one of the par

on the Filler road about dusk
In a new Overland automobile, which
Mr.. Miner has driven but a short time.
On ascending the grade toward that
city and finding that the grade could
not be made on intermediate geer, Mr..
Miner attempted to shift the geers.
In some way the geers did not imme-
d1ately mesh and the car started back
down the grade. Mr.. Miner forgot to
use his emergency brake with the re-
suit that the car dropped over the
grade with all occupants in it, The two
children were thrown out into the
sage brush and escaped unhurt, but
Mrs. Miner was thrown out when the
car dropped backwards and had the
misfortune to break her leg against
the rocks at the bottom. The car with
only the windshield broken. dropped
upright on the bottom and was not
perceptably damaged
When viewed by daylight it seems
simply wonderful that all of the four
people were not dashed to death in
the forty foot drop. Mrs. Miner, al
through much shaken, was fairly COM
