ner. We came to a standstill and he
collided with US. knocking our Ford
off the road and straight down the
mountain side toward the river. 1t
knocked me clear out OF the car except
my feet we're hanging on the steering
gear. After rolling about 80 feet back
wards ! managed to get hold of the
wheel with one hand and back the car
into big rock, stopping it. This Is
all that saved Mrs. Warren and possi-
bly, myself from going into the river
and losing our lives"

Warren we're taken to Gunnison where
they are reported to be recovering
nicely. Mrs. Warren's injuries were
