Inar to Pnris from Trouvllle, when
their automobile swerved ami crashed
into a tree. Ilfteon miles from here.
Both were killed at once. The chauffeur
became insane as a consequence
of the shock. He was hadly injured.
The accident occurred at o'clock
in the afternoon, and almost in front
of the Chateau Buisson du Mai. The
wife of the gatekeeper of the chateau
was the only witness of the disaster.
She says she noticed a bis ved automobile
coming along the road at a tremendous
pace. Suddenly something
happened, and the heavy machine slid
sideways front the right to the left
side of the road for about sixty yards.
It then dashed up ail embankment,
turned a complete somersault and
crashed into a big elm tree in front
of the gate of the chateau. The automobile
was completely wrecked; the
front axle was broken and other parts
of the machine were smashed. Including
the steering gear. When the automobile
turned over, the wife of the
gatekeeper says, she saw Mr. and Mrs.
Fair thrown high in the air and fall.
The chauffeur, who was sitting behind
the Fairs, was precipitated into a
ditch. lie staggered to his feet, calling
for help.
The gatekeepers wife rushed to his
assistance and aided him in extricating
Mr. and Mrs. Fair, who were buried
beneath the wrecked machine and in
tlic throes of death. Both had sustained
ghastly Injuries and were almost
unrecognizable. Mr. Fair's head
had been crushed in. while his wife's
skull was split.
The accident was evidently due to
the bursting of a tire. At the time it
occurred the automobile, which was
capable of running seventy-four milys
an hour, was going at the rate of sixty
two miles an hour.
Charles I.ouis Fair was the second
son of the late Senator James L. Fair,
lie was born in Nevada and passed
his early life in San Francisco. IIis
wife, whom he had met in San Francisco,
was a naMve of Jersey City. She
was known on the Slope as Maude
Nelson, but her real name was said to
be Carrie Smith. His family disapproved
of the marriage, although it

much mor regular life after his marvi.l.r.,

He says the four teachers were ambushed
in the mountains. Two were
killed at the tirst lire, and one was shot
in the hack while running. The fourth
escaped, but was captured afterward.
It is suspected that one of the teachers
was buried alive, because his wound
was not fatal. Two of the bodies were
hurled deep. The others were disinterred
and eaten by dogs.
