Orr's shoes were large but not hob

actually dusty.
After a further Inspection by th
sheriff, in which the baggage of the

"Most of them were getting along all
' right,' though at Kearney's Ranch there
were five hung up with rear system
trouble. " "None of these were Maxwells,
however. Rear system and clearance dif
ficulties are the ones which seem com
monest In the rough country. It Is hard
to believe that there are cars in which
the flywheel or the rear axlo housing
hang lower than the front axle point of
contact, but there are many of them.
Such cars have their troubles tn the bad

Meeting every difficulty that nature
could throw in her way cold, rain, mud,
and wind to a disheartening and discour
aging! dosree Anita King, arrived In
Chicago yesterday in her sturdy Klssel
Kar en routo from San Francisco to New
Tork.
Miss King, unaccompanied, weather
beaten and very tired. Is as determined
and gritty as the day rnie confidently
drove away from the exposition grounds
at San Francisco, and he declares she
will successfully complete her wonderful
lone journey across the continent and
reach New Tork on scheduled time.
"Excitement and the kindly encourage
ment of cheering crowds at every point,
have kept my spirit and resolution at a
high point, while perfect health, love of
the open and remarkable freedom from
serious mechanical trouble have done the
rest." said Miss King.
"My most thrilling adventure was when
I lost my way on the Nevada desert
and waa luckily picked up In the dead
of night by a party of proapectors, who
carried me to shelter and food. I blame

has been constructed across a creek.
They did not notice the sharp turn until
too late and mbised the bridge about a
foot. Tho car and its two occupants
pitched off a nineteen-foot embankment
Into the creek. Neither of the men was
hurt and the car waa hoisted to the road

Miss King's experience adds weight to
the allegations of other transcontinental
motorists, who believe that It la high

several days, due to a terrlflo down-pour
