Steubenville, O.—A touring car with
Miss Bessie Philllpson of Steubenville
driving, plun/ed over a 250-foot em­
bankment, looped the loop 17 times,
and landed In the middle of a street,
a pile of wreckage. The girl escaped
without a scratch.
The noise of the descending car
frightened the horses of an ice wagon
i far below, and they ran away. Some
children ran after them.
The car
landed where the children had been
standing. One of the horses tripped
and fell against the gates at a rail­
road crossing, saving both animals
from death under the wheels of an on-
rushing train.
