Joe Moss, local steeple jack, through his agility saved his own life here last night about 9 o’clock when a speeding auto without lights bore down upon him as he was crossing the street at the Phillipson store corner. Moss was walking between two companions. As the car ran into the group, Moss leaped on top of the auto hood and was carried a half block. His jump saved him being knocked under the auto wheels.
