The car struck the embankment within six feet of the track where the train went by. La- Jole's experiences of the day only be- gan with the wreck.

To Be Tried at September Session of Superior Court, There is more than the usual amount of interest in the list of crim- inal cases that will come up for con- sideration at the present term of the superior court, most of the prisoners to be put to plea today. The most important on the list is that known as the Payette murder case in which the son of the man killed is to be charged with the crime. This case will very probably go to trial, at least there is nothing at the present time to indicate that this will not be the case. Another trial is to be expected in the case of A. J. Kenehan of Provi- dence, the young man who will answer to a charge of manslaughter for hav- ing caused the death of a little Greek boy in a& motorcycle aceident at Dan- ielson cn Memorial day.
