William NJ. Radcliffe, resident of Sacra-

The horse attached to the Singer sewing
machine delivery wagon entered upon
runaway at Seventh and streets yesterday
forenoon, and frightened the buggy horse
OF W. A. Fountain, who was driving by at
the time, in such a manner that he caused
the vehicle to swerve suddenly, throwing
its occupant out. He fell upon his head
and shoulders, and suffered scalp cut and
severe bruises. The runaway horses were
stopped after running few blocks.
There was a rumor in circulation yester-
day that the convict who escaped from the
Napa Asylum ON Monday was Porter, who
committed murder at Hicksville about
four years ago, by striking his victim on
the head with bung-starter in a saloon.
The report gained greater credence from
the fact that Porter had been confined in
an asylum prior to the murder, and man.
aged TO escape. The fact appears to be that
the man who escaped from Napa was
convict from San Quentin, and not from
the Folsom Prison, in which Porter was
confined until sent to the asylum about
two weeks ago.
