posing the jury. A verdict was
arrived at to the effect that the
young men had come to their death
as a result of the auto accident at
Sulphur creek, when the car which
they were driving ran up on a high
bank, turned over and plunged to
the creek bed, some thirty feet be-
low.

town through the entire evening be-
fore the accident, and had started
on their trip up the canyon that
morning. Mr.. Jones was planning
a trip to the Burlington section to
bring home Mrs. Jones who was
visiting there, and had promised to
take his friends over a mess of
fish on the trip. Whether something
went wrong with the car as they
were going down the hill, or just
what did happen to cause the &C
cident will probably never be
known The Osborne boy was ter
ribly crushed and must have been
killed instantly, while Mr.. Jones,
who was evidently driving the car,
received bad scalp wounds, and very
likely suffocated in the water of
the creek below while unconscious.
The car which they were driv-
ing belonged to the Yellowston
Garage, and the body of it is a
total wreck. In turning over it
evidently landed on the top, smash
ing the body of the car completely
and doing little or no damage to
