 barn on the side of the highway op- posite the House and shape their course toward another barn on the same side of the highway as the house. One of these men. it afterwards prov ed was Mir. TFipp, and he was carry ing pail flied with ensilage When Mir. Gilpatrie saw the men he blew his horn and slowed down his car. One of the men started back and motioned to the other to do SO, | which he did. Then Tripp turned back | again and continued to hesitate be- l tween the two courses, moving for ward and backward, while the car con- | tinued to approach. As Mr. Tripp fin- l ally headed hack into the path of the oncoming car Mir. Gilpatrc steered the l machine to the side of the road and | out of the highway into the sandy | border of the Barnes property in an effort to avoid collision, but MT. Tripp got directly in front of the machine and was struck, probably by fender and knocked down, one of | the front wheels passing over his l body.
 He was assisted into the house and | a physician summoned, but his in- | iurles. of an internal nature, were such as to cause his death. l Mir. <Giipatric said that his car had slowed down to less than 15 miles an hour at the time he was approaching 1 MT.
