Woman Killed
inCar Loaded
with WhiskeY

. Mrs. Lee Perras, Of Bismarck was
killed Tuesday afternoon, s miles
south Of Washburn when the automo-
bile, she was driving at high rate
Of speed plunged OF q grade, turn.
ed over twice and came to halt with
all four wheels in the air and Mrs.
Perras and her husband pinned I'M.
der It.
Y: Mrs. Perras' neck was broken and
her chest was crushed. Perras escaped
whole except for a skinned hand and
bruised head.
The car was loaded with whisksy
which the two were bringing from
Canada. ESTATES Attorney Williams
and Sheriff, Steferuds were called to
the scene and the whiskey was taken
by them and brought to Washburn.
The dead women and her husband
were taken to Bismarck where the
next day Perras was arrested by =
deputy United States marshal.
There are various explanations Of
the cause Of the accident. Mrs. Per-
ras was driving Nash roadster
capable of making so to 20 miles an
hour. 1t is said she was travelling at
a high rate. Of speed. Just beyond
the bridge she crossed there is a
turn. It is believed by those who
were at the scene of the accident that
she was going too fast to make the
turn, or that she imagined someone
was close behind and turned to look.
The car went of the grade and then
she tried to swerve it back on the
road again.

splendid prospects as an architect'
with the advantages of family and ed

Persuaded by "Lovey," and because
both are hungry, Frank plans to rob a
wealthy homes. Leaving the boudoir
where he has found jewels OF great
value, the odor of food tempts Frank
tc explore the kitchen. There he
finds plumber Of far greater appeal;
and once his appetite is appeased,
returns upstairs to restore the jewels.
He is confronted by Regina Barry,

his kind are given that help which
brings about reformation. "Lovey's

ing benefited:
