In the spectral haze dim shadows take on form and two of them engage in speech, the while the sirens

it was nearly 10 P. M. when the last car

of how they were delayed on their trip.
They, narrowly escaped serious injuries
near St. Peter, when few miles out of
that town on the way. to New aUlm, the
car was turned over by the impact with
another car which. was running ahead of
them. According to the sotry by the
New Ulm visitors, this latter car which
