RACES FAST TRAIN,
 WRECKED, UNHURT

P. F. Johnson of Mt. Vernon was the first near victim of the mania to match the speed of passenger trains when driving on stretches of the Conway and Palarm highway par ellel to the Missouri Pacific tracks. Johnson kept abreast of the train for some distance, but lost out when his Ford roadster was deflected by de- pression in the road. Only a miracle saved the driver from injury.
 At the point where Johnson left the highway, about one and one-half miles south of Gold Creek, a cul- vert has been placed for the highway, but no bridge spans the small ereek for the dirt road. Johnson hit the depression about 10 feet south of the culvert and he attempted to pull ba k on the highway when he saw the stream and certain wreckage just ahead. His car had covered the dis tance and was partially on the high way, only to wreck when he blew a front casing. Passengers on the train watching the race say that his car overturned twice. However. Johnson and the ear both escaped in- jury and were travelling toward Com way within 90 minutes after the ac- cident.
 Johnson was driving stripped down Ford, and was going to Mt. Vernon.
