While the Maulby family were in the roadway, a big sedan driven by J. H. Traun-pviof Clear Creek, came around the curve upon the group. The distance was too short for Traun-pve- if to bring his car to a stop, so he turned his car to the north side of the highway to avoid a crash, however, at the same time Mr. aqd Mrs. Maulby, the mother holding the baby, and Miss Don aldson, ran to the same side of the highway in their attempt to get out of the way, and instead were in the direct path of the oncoming car.
