Rolls Auto Wheel Forty Miles.

Kokomo, July 18.—Charles Stewart, nineteen years old, who trundled the wheel of an automobile a distance of nearly forty miles across the desert wastes <it Death valley, is a guest here of A. H. Stewart, his uncle. The young inau and his father, D. W. Stewart, drove through in the machine from California to Kokomo. When on the desert 40 miles from any town one trheel of the car was smashed when it ran into a hole. Young Stewart was given passage in automobile to get to a town, to purchase a new wheel, but was forced to walk back, save a distance of three miles. He started in the evening at six o’clock and the next morning at seven o'clock was fitting the new wheel on the machine, having rolled it a distance of practically 37 miles. The remainder of the journey to Kokomo was without any special incident.
