of an automobile, as it was parked on
a steep hill in Ogden stréet, Clayton,
the 2.yearwold son of R. Woodrow
Wilson, of Unlontown, had a wild joy
ride down a grade 250 feet long. The
car was almost completely demolished,
but the little fellow escaped virtually
uninjured. Just as Mr. and Mrs Wil.
son were ready to return home in their
automobile, Clayton, who had seen his
father manipulate the break of the
car, was placed in the front seat while
the good-byes were being sald, He at
once took a healthy kick at the brake
and away started the machine, When
the car reached the foot of the hill
it turned into the driveway of the
Third ward school yard, went across
the lawn and smashed into the bulld-
ing. The 2year-old “driver” was
thrown from the rront seat into the
bottom of the automobile, but managed
to escape with only a few scratches,
ghowing no other ill effects from his
wild ride.
