a request to come near the home of

his driver of the car, which serves
the railway stations, when he re
turned from the Missouri Pacific
train at midnight to come and help
vet the car which was a Cadillac
roadster, bearing Nebraska License
ISIS number 12392S. out of the

turned Mr. Mason was back also
having gone out with a rope, which
he had broken, and was after a
cable to pull the car out with. They
both went out and spent the remain
ing hours until morning getting the
car out of the mud and down to the
Mason Garage. At about seven
o'clock Luke Wiles telephoned to
