Mrs. George M. Moore of Mortified.
Probably the presence of team, going
in the same direction, served to compli.
cate matters, for when the crash came,
the Cadillac was halfway across the
track. The street, car struck the auto
mobile broadside, smashing the running
board and loosening a few spokes In one
of the wheels. The driver pluckily chung
to the steering wheel and managed to
clear the track without assistance.
