til Saturday morning.
Mr. Raker's neck was broken. His

seat of the truck, his right hand clutched
the steering wheel, his left hand rested
ou the edge of the shed, his Irft foot was
upon the low-gear control and the eavei

It was apparent thait, as he drove
the machine underneath the shelter, he
had suddenly been caught in a totally
unexpected and tragically hopeleen posi
tion. He could no?t bend backward to
extricate himself, because of the back
at the seat. The brakes may hare failed

save hhn?elf was imposiriMe. He ap
peared to have died Jotfbuitly and with
out struggle.
