made to him, and spilled again and
put his machine out OF commission.
II was about a quarter of mile to
the tape at the end of the run, and
he pushed the machine through, He
was then reminded that this was not
in accordance with the F. A. M. rules
and he went back to where he had
spilled, cleaned out the part of the
machine that was not working, and
made the run again to the tape.
Number %, Erwin Pasco, first to
start and who stopped to try to re-
vive 'Pinky Zimmerman where he
fell above Brigham, came into town
at 2:1o pushing his machine and was
very much exhausted. Briefly this
| is his trip. He drew the lucky num-
Der and left Hot Springs in the lead
and ran as fast as ne dared too.
When nearly to Brigham City Jen-
kins went by him swiftly and Pasco
shouted, I u see you III Blackfoot
old man. AS Pasco went through
Brigham lie saw a crowd and had a
glimpse of Jenkins machine laying
Il by hitching rack. He got scared
and shut down to slower speed and
Pinky Zimmerman passed him. A
few miles up the road where it was
a little "bumpy," Pinky lay by the
roadside near his machine, and Pas
co stopped and quit the race. Then
came an auto party and Pasco
mounted and rushed on. Others fol-
lowed, and he worked hard to keep
ahead. He spilled, he rolled, he ran
lup hill and down; he crossed a
mountain range, went through val
fley, box canyon, entered a wide
valley and was approaching streak
OF willows near a town when a man
| iE the road made a queer signal and
ne gave a second look to try to see
what he meant, and dashed into the
railing of bridge. A muddy river
swept under the bridge, he gather
up his machine and tried to start it
Ebut 1t was dead. He was so tired
The was numb, but he proceeded to
push the machine into town. A boy
came running with can Of gasoline
but he could not use it. couple of
fellows pushed the machine for him.
Tand TWO rows of people half mile
long stood mute and watched him
trudge up that street. A man rush
ed out and told him to push the ma
chine up. to the tape himself or it
Knight not be accepted as a proper
finish, and he pushed it through.
Friendly fellows put him into an auto
and started somewhere with him,
Ihe said, Boys | want a telephone.
l want to telephone to mother. She'll
lbe uneasy" And when he got 10
the phone at the, Commercial Hotel
he lay across the counter and said
into the instrument, Zone double
seven nine W. Wasatch. I'll pay
here" In another minute there was
a ring for him, and what he said that
time was just to his mother, SO we're
not saying what it was.
/ Other riders came along at inter
walls, as shown by the list printed
below. AS they arrived they were
taken to The Cottage Hotel where
they were cared for by b. F. Ander-
son, who came up from Salt Lake
to look after them. A. H. Anderson
Of Blackfoot collided with horse
near Willard, Utah, and was taken
to the hospital. The horse was too
badly injured to be saved and was
killed. Jenkins and Zimmerman and
