SAVED BY DEAD MAN
At a small town on Lake Como, a dead man recently saved the life of a living one. A motor-van missed the road one night and was hurled down the side of a lonely hill. The owner was killed, and a passenger sitting beside him escaped death, but was half buried beneath a load of earth from which he could not extricate himself. Relief came in a curious manner, for the body of the dead driver fell in such a way on the motor horn that it sounded continuously after the accident. The message it carried across the lonely hillside was heard by a party of ti'ampers, who located the motor-van and rescued the imprisoned passenger.
