A team attached to heavy freight
ing truck ran away down Spring
street yesterday. 1t seemed at one
time that there was imminent dan
ger of their colliding with the street
car and making kindling wood of it,
but the horses, mindful of their good
training in clearing distractions,
turned out upon reaching the car and
left it unharmed. There was gen.
eral scattering of the occupants, how
ever, for a place of safety. These run
aways of freighting teams are becom-
ing periodical occurrences and it is
time that the hitching-post ordinance
was brought into requisition with tho
drivers OF such outfits. These trucks
are so large and heavy that when
pulled through streets by span of
frightened horses at their best speed,
they carry utter destruction to any
thing with which they may come in
contact If our fears do not mislead
us, we shall yet have to record some
terrible accident as a result of one of
these runaways. 9iqae .p yHn Hvi
Engineer Crawford, who is making
the survey for the Los Angeles and
Independence Railroad, writes as fol-
lows to cotemporary from
San Bernardino We are now
camped upon the summit of the Ca
Jon, about thirty-one miles northwest
of this place. The weather has been
cold, and the snow among the pines
reaches down close to our camp. We
have game in the greatest profusiOn-
started six deer and a bear yesterday;
two of the deer passed within one hun
dred feet of the Instrument, but unfor-
tunately all, our arms Were in camp.
The bear was encountered by two OF
the boys in the brush, at close quar-
ters, and In a far shorter time than il
takes towrite it his bearship was mon
arch, of all he surveyed, as the boys
fled incontinently. The party has run
the line into the Cajon Pass, above
Martins, aud has just commenced
work upon the summit ridge. l am
satisfied that / can obtain as good, il
not far better line than 1 reported
upon. / DETECTED from the Southern
Pacific line three miles east of Spadra
thence ran through the Cucamonga
Homestead farms; thence skirting the
Cucamonga Mountains and crossing
