Automobile Party
Have Lucky Escape
In Roadside Spill
By most miraculous good fortune
a party of motorists were saved
from death on the Kenai Lake road
at an early hour this morning,
when William Bryant, driving his
r.ew Chevrolet went off the road at
■ ne railroad crossing near Mile
* an 1 the car rolled completely over
down a 20-foot enbankment. A
loosened radius rod in the steering
-r "r iS assigned as the cause of the
accident.
In the car with Bryant were Jack
Baldwin.. Bryan Stevenson and
Charles Emswiler, all of whom were
tossed about as the machine made
its dive, but none of whom were in
jured except Baldwin who suffered
a gash on the wrist lrom cut glass.
The car itself was not badly dam
aged except that the top was pretty
".ell flattened, causing wonder that
Ihe occupants escaped so fortun
ately. Passing motorists brought
the party to town and the wrecking
few was summoned to get the ma
chine back on the road.
