presence OF mind in clinging to the

riding when it was struck and carried

saved from death or severe injury.

dred Fischer. Mrs. Spiichal was driv-
ing the car during the heavy rain.
Approaching the railroad tracks from
the south her attention was diverted
to an engine approaching from the
west. Hence she failed to see freight
cars being pushed along from the east
until they were almost upon the ma
chine. She swung the auto to the
left, but it did not clear, and was
caught and pushed along about l2o
feet by the freight car. The three
women grasped the auto top and held
on until the train could be stopped.
Mrs. Fischer received severe bruises
and the others were scratched slight
ly, while Mrs. Splichal was confined
to her home for time with ner-
vous breakdown. -"f
