Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee.
Fremont, Neb., Aug. 2.—Mrs. Roy
rienter ami children, Velma, 5, nnd
'Alice, 9, had a remarkable escape
1'rom Injury when the auto In which
i hey were riding, driven by the moth
er, plunged over a six-foot bridge,
turning completely over and pinning
the children beneath the wreckage.
The accident occurred four miles
north of Fremont shortly before noon
today. A plank on the edge of the
bridge turned the wheels toward the
edge, and the brakes, when applied,
refused to hold. The machine slowly
tipped over the edge and the car
. landed upside down in the bed of
the creek. The mother, fortunately,
was thrown clear of the car. Driven
desperate by the cries of the ehtl
drer. held under the automobile, Mrs,
Henter managed to lift one side of the
car high enough to rescue Velma.
She fought to lift the car still higher
to free the other victim, but her
strength failed her.
Her (ii reams attracted farmers
working nearby and help soon arriv
ed. Both children wore painfully
bruised and cut, but their injuries
fro not serious.

Yellowstone Park
Tourists Have
Mud Battle
The story of a very exciting and
unusual trip was told by Mr. and Mrs.
Herbert Potter, who arrived In Oma
ha at 1 o'clock Wednesday morning
alter driving 27) miles Tuesday on
tl.o last lap of their Journey home
ft; m Yellowstone park.
When Mr. and Mrs. ; otter with
their two small sons, Billy and Jack,
started out about July 1 for thiir
trip they planned to go throng .1
the Black Hills and enter the park by
vay of Gardiner, the northern en
trance, leaving via the Sh tshone can
yon and Cody. All went well and the
Potters had no trouble getting Into
Yellowstone. It was In coming out
their troubles began. They got only
as far as Pahaska Tepee, Buffalo
Bills’ old hunting lodge, knd were
forced to stop. Because of terrible
floods, the roads and bridges between
Pahaska Tepee and Cody—all al mg
the Shoshone valley—were washed
out. Traffic was held up for what
appeared to bo an Indefinite time, but
was finally shortened to a day. Tour
ists entering Yellowstone hy way of
Cody were forced either to wait or to
go by train to Gardiner and then into
the park. And when finally the Pot
ters did get started—
“We just plowed around in that
slough of mud," Mrs. Potter said. "I
had planned to drive part of the way,
but my husband did practically all of
it. Wo were thankful for our Fofd.
Five big cars traveling with us were
having a dreadful time. If we had
difficulties, thelr's were much worse
Ir; fact, we had to help pull a Cadillac
out of the mud before we could gel
pas*, out selves. But after we got ti
C.'c 'y the road was as usual again—
very steep, but very beautiful."
