front Of Verzoni's fruit and candy
store yesterday afternoon when a REQ
car parked in front of the store start
ed backward when Robert c. Moore
of Bingham. the driver. tried to crank
the car. An elderly lady was sitting
in the car, which backed slowly across
the street. Quick as flash a young
lady who was with the party in the car
but who was standing on the sidewalk
at the time. leaped fully five feet from
the sidewalk onto the runningboard of
the REQ and climbed into the driver
seat. She succeeded in stopping the
car after it had run about 40 feet. An
admiring group OF spectators gathered
for the feat of the young woman was
a heroic one. The car backed into a
truck owned by Peter Vermont and bent

that the young woman would be crush
cd between the two cars. AS 1t hap

passing along the street at that mo-
ment and bad accident was narrowly
averted. Spectators averred that the
car must have been in gear. but the
driver Indignantly denied this.
