AUTO DEMOLISHED
GIRL MlRACULOuSlY
ESCAPES WITH LIFE

Davenport, Dec o9--One OF the most
miraculous escapes ever recorded In
Davenport fell to the lot of Miss Helen
Gobble. daughter of Mrs. Amalia
Schmidt -Gobhle, at O'Clock Wednes-
day afternoon Mt the crossing OF the
Rock Island road at Fifth and War
rem streets.
At the time Miss Gcbblc was drtv-
ing the new Stevens auto of IA, o.
Seiffert, and was the sole occupant OF
the car. AS she was crossing the
tracks, the auto was struck by the
Rocky Mountain Limited train OF the
Rock Island road. The force OF the
impact threw Miss Gobhle from the
car. hurled her into the air Tor con-
sidera BILE distance and in aliShting she
fell on the COW catcher of the engine.
where she remained until the train
was brought to standstill at Gaines
street, two blocks distant. She was
uniniured The car was reduced to
scrap iron and is a total wreck
How Miss Gobhle escaped being in
jured and how she got out OF the car
is a mystery. She was driving up
Warren street and noticed the nag
man standing in the middle OF the
street at the crossing. lnasmuch as
the crossing bars were up ana pelhS
unable to see or hear the approachlhS
train by reason of the side-curtaihs OF
the auto being down, Miss Gopple at
tempted to cross the tracks. AS she
reached the midd of the tracks she
for the first time noticed the fast APP
preaching train For some unknown
reason the engine of the auto stalled
Just at this time and realizing that she
was about to be struck by the tram
Miss Gobhle jumped from under the
steering wheel on which she had her
hands. From this time until she
jumped off the cow catcher I'M
scratched two blocks distant. she re-
members nothing.
Engineer Griffith was near pros
trated when he succeeded IN stoppin"
his train and approached the front OF
the engine expecting to ma the
mangled body of the victim. Instead
he was greeted by the CHEEKY voice "''
Miss Gobble with the words. 1T isn't
your fault at all. You conldn turn
out of the way and ! don WANT w"
to feel bad about it,"
According to James HumeS' gate
man at Fifth and Warren streets the
gates have been frozen Tor the past
month and have not been repaired )"
that they can be closed. He mas peeh
in the habit Of standing in the n4ddi'
of the crossing and tagging the teams
and autos when q train was approach
fnw. He tagged Miss Gobhle but she
WAS looking for the gates t" close
When he saw that the car was cong
=, cross l,r tried to warn the driver,
but the car being enclosed, he could
not make himself heard.

Davenport, Dec. 29.-James E. Chris
tenia,, colored, a trusted employe in the
family of Mrs. Ella Henley, 81 Kirk
wood boulevard, Davenport. was ar
rested late yesterday afternoon at the
Henley home, charged with the theft OF
family jewels valued at $4,000. Fol
lowing his arrest Christenia admitted
the theft. Part of the jewels taken
vera found in his home and one was
found in a Davenport jewelry store.
Most of the stones We're diamonds.
They We're purchased some years ago
by the late H. NJ. Henley as gift for his
wife. Mrs Henley usually kept the
jewels in a safety deposit vault in a
Davenport ! bank. The day before
Christmas, however, she took them to
her home with intentions of wearing
them. On Christmas day the jewels
disappeared. Owing to the length OF
time Christenia had been connected
with the household, suspicion was not
directed his way at first.
Detectives We're put to work on the
case, and they searched Christenla's
home at $40 Henley street eve In the
drawer of the dresser they found sew
eral of the stones. upmounted. They
had been pried from the settings. Mrs.
Christenia denied any knowledge as to
how the stones came to be in the home
and maintained that she did not know
they were there. 4 further search re-
suited in one, of the most valuable
stones of the collection, a two and one
half carat diamond being recovered in
the Eibathuler jewelry store c. w.
Bates. editor of the Tri-City Press, a
publication for .colored people, sold the
stone to the jewelers.. He said that II
was given to- him by Christenia: This
stone alone was valued at $500.
Christenia had been in the employ OF
the Henley. family for twenty six years.
He started working there when but 10
and Is now. d.. In all those years his
honesty had not been questioned. He
was well provided for and the family
had built a home for him on Henley
street. Just what prompted Christenia
to take the jewels is not known.
