Came Nearly End
ing in a Tragedy
Mr. and Mrs. John Wigle got
ot back the last of the week from
an outing to Crater lake. The
Unsure trip came within an ace of
having a tragic ending.
While poind up the grade be
tween Pelican Ray lodire and Fort
Klamath the engine weit dead when
the car had about reached the top.
The grade was steep and Mr. Wigle
dumped pear. The enpine stopped
and the auto commenced to back
down hill. The emergency brake
was applied but it refused to work.
Mrs. Wigle and Miss Alderson,
who were id the tonneau, tried to
viake their escape Miss Alderson
by jumping and Mrs. Wigle by try
ii to pet out on the running board.
As the car pained momentum down
hill Mr. Wigle turned at a sharp
angle so as to back into the hillside.
In doing this he turned too quickly
and in a thrice the auto turned tur
Ue in the road. Miss Alderson es
caped with a sprained ankle, Mrs.
Wigle with a very bad scare and
Mr. Wigle with some bruises about
the head and shoulders. Just how
the party escaped serious injury is
a miracle. All were stunned for a
lime. Miss Alderson was the first
to realiie the situation. She went
to the assistance of Mrs. Wigle, who
on recovered consciousness and
acquired for her husband who was
(Big under the car. In a few
minutes he extricated himself but
was too weak to do more than
sake the ladies comfortable and
wait for help from Klamath Falls.
The car, which is a big heavy one,
m not damaged to any great extent.
Tkt ladies were too nervous to re
torn in it, so it was left at Klam
ath Falls and the party returned by
Iran.

his ears with her bands, in the
meantime making a seat of bis

plows his way through the thick
undergrowth of the jungle. It is
a thrilling rescue and fairly
startles one with its novelty and
and realism.
