THE DANGER OF RIDING TEXAS PosIgs.
Great Excitement On Montgomery street
"A Happy Thought and
ssappJ Nan.
Isan Francisco Evening FOst.l


IL Is fact beyond dispute that the average
Texas pony is uncertain. As g general thing
Texas charger can be relied upoa, sooner or
later, to indulge in his little ac5, popalarly
known on the plains as fbnckingn You
can't cultivate the pony sufficiently 20 induce
him TO f0rgst i. Il is IN his blood, and he
sticks 70 it by the power OF hereditY. He
would probably 20 without his hay for
whole day sooner than throw away q fair op-
portunity TO a buck" It is part Of his life,
and the CHIEF article in bis creed. In short,
Texas pony which went buck is not Texas
pony a6 ali. He IS q rondesefipt. and ul-
worthy to BE accredited TO the Lone Star
State. Mr.. George Ridgeway, residing on
Jefferson street, Oakland, will probable iu-
dorse the above heartily. At any rate the
accident which bsfell him this morning would
seem to be euf6oient guaranty for such in
ference in the minds of obseIvsrs fer Mr..
Ridgeway narrowly escaped death. As it is
well known, this gentleman is q finished
horseDaD, and is fond Of riding spirited ami
mals This morning about o'clock ne rode
up Montgomery street at very rapid pace.
When opposite f. Garcia & Co. s restau,.
ant. popularity known as FRANKIE" Mr..
Ridgeway suddenly checked his horse and
attempted to wheel. But the pony grew OBJ
stinate and refused to obey the will of the
rider. Mr.. Ridgeway attempted to force the
horse, but the perverse product of the PAM
pas declined TO be enforced, and then ensued
g struggle for the mastery between horse and
rider. True tc his instincts, the pony finally
prepared coup detat. and won the victory.
| Jumping into the air. the devilish creature
stiffened his legs, bumped his back until he
| described an inverted q, came down on the
street with all four Tset at one time, plunged
his head between his forelegF, and the act
was complete. Mr.. RidgeWay struck the
| ground about six feet in front Of his horse.
he was insensible. a large crowd Of excited
/ people was attracted 10 the spot Kind
| bands tenderly lifted the unconscious suf-
| ferer and bore him into Frsnks. A nes-
sengsr wss dispatched for 6 physician, In
the meantime rsstsatives were applied. and
| every means known 90 those present resorsed
TO fer his resuscitation. In short time Mr..
Ridgeway showed signs Of returning con-
seriousness, and moared in great psin. Re-
gaining the power Of speech, the hurt gentle
man said: For Gods sake, do something
TO relieve this horrible pain ia my shoulder.
1t ID killing me. Have you bottle of ST.
Jacobs Oil 10 the house"
Just the thing p said Mr.. Garcia. "I
have some of the oil conveniently at hand"
The sufferer was denuded of his clothiag,
| and his right shoulder was found to be badly
bruised. Quick hands applied the great rem
edy which Is now creating such q seusa.ion
on the coast; and In an incredibly short tine
Mr.. Ridgsway began to show signs of sasis-
faction. Soon he said that the pain was
greatly relieved, and tie application of nearly
whole bottle took away ali the pain and re-
duced the swelling which bad CON mencod
when they began applying the Gil Exam
instion revealed the fact that Mr.. Ridgsway
had not sustained fracture in any of his
bones, and he remarked SUBSEQUENTLY,. as he
was sipping glass Of "irupsriai punch. " thas
st. Jacobs Oil had doubtless saved him great
and protracted suffering. Calling at a neigh
boring drug store, Mr. Ridgeway secured
several bottles of this wonderful healing sub
stance and went home The doctor arrived
too late to sea the patient.
The exhibition Of such wonderful power bv
the st. Jacobs Oil set sli tongues wagaing,
and many gentlemen present expressed as
tonisnnent at tina amazing result of IT'S sp-
plicstion. mr. Garcia explained thas the Oil
was reputed to be almost miraculous in its
actien in some cases, and the incident of this
morning was simply verifcation of what
he personally knew of it, as well as what
was stated Of it by persons Of his acquaint-
ance. He thought SO highly of its splendid
| curative properties in all caves Of pains and
hurts that he never failed to keep some Of it
on hand. Mr.. Ridgeway would doubtless
| feel little shaken up by his fall for few
days, but several more applications of the
remedy would undoubtedly place his shoulder
all right
The reporter was greatly interested in
| what he had witnessed, and resolved to learn
more about the performance OF the great rem
edy. Meeting Robert Young, q printer in
the Mercantile Agency, and residing at No.
800 California street, the question of the heal
| ing power of st. Jacobs Oil was introduced.
Mr.. Ycung Immediately and emphatically
bore strong testimony in its favor "Why,
sir" said he, ~ had been troubled long
| time with Stiffness of the neck. II was
especially severe when | teok cold. bad
also suffered with rheumatic psins in my
shoulders. Il il, therefore. with feelibgs Of =
gratitude that l say that the s.. Jacobs Oil
relieved ms of every pain and ache. / most
| heartily recommend it as o superb Relevant"
| Du.iEg the morning the TeDorter's duties
called him to North Beach. While there he
met Charles Schwarz, propristor Of the
North Beach Chowder House, No. 22O9
Powell street. The following conversation
ensued: "Mr. Schwarz, do you know any,
thing aboat ST. jacobs Oilg'.
| "Well, l should ssy so 1t is Just the
grandess remedy for rheumatism ever made -
Have you used it, sir -
Used It Yes, it has basn q standing
| remedy in ny house for two years. There is
nothing Ike it. We could not well ges on
without it. IL cures my people of rheuma-
| tism, burns, bruises and every kind Of ache or
pain. Then my neighbOr uses It, too. I al
ways have several bottles in my house, and it
| frequently happens that persons call for it in
sudden emergencies. Only few days since
| drayman got badly hurt, and / sent cut a
bottle Of st. Jacobs Oil. They ribbed IL on
him and it took away the pain. The man
was very grateful, and said it was the best
stuff in the world.
The reporter Stepped in at the popular
pharmacy of j. Adolph Boyken, corner Of
Ninth aud Mission straete, and asked the
proprietor if he had much call for the ST,
Jacobs Oil. Mr. Boysen replied
The Great German Remedy, st. Jacobs
Oil. has been having big sale with me
lately, ard my customers are high 10 their
praises of IL as a congueror Of pain"
