The car was driven by Jake O’Neal, of this city, who wa.s accompanied by Ebb Faw and Fred Eller. They suffered only minor injuries and returned to their homes after a visit to the hospital. The car, it was said, was traveling at the rate of 93 miles per hour when It left the Iiighway and its path to the point where it I'raslied with re- snlant damage to the car and building indicated unusual force. Tltc building, a 12 x 2t) frame structure, has one end resting on the car and the own er forbids Its removal without recovering damage. In fhet if the car was removed the build ing w'ould fall unless supports were providetl. One of the wood pillars on- tier the building.was knocked into a nearfoy garden and the rear end of_ the house was 'jnbTod..» tuWanCc -qf eight feet by the'impact of the cnisli. 4 sill of the of the bnildhag is wKl^ a nl^1iiiiHr driver ot the car.' Ttic scene of the wreck indi cated that the ear was finally stoppetl by a stump under the building and it was in all like lihood the obstacle that pre vented further progress of the vehicle and the ultimate death of all its occupants. All through Saturda.v and Konday passing motorists were attracKnl to the unusual scene by the roadside and there was a continual stream of people who went especially to see the cur that moved the. house and in which a kind fate rode with the occupants. People who had driven dur ing the day at moderately high rate of speeds, they said, left the scene of the wreck driving at nnusiinlly moderate rates of 30 to 40 mile.s per honr. The wre«-k continues to be the talk of the town and many were visiting the scene today.
