Friday evening NJ. Dolan, fireman of the
stationary engine at the railroad shops, was
coming to the city from Yolo county in a
buggy, accompanied by friend, who was
driving, when it became necessary for them
to stop at the western end of the Sacra-
mento and Yolo bridge until the Woodland
train should cross that structure. When the
locomotive approached, the horse, colt
but partially broken. became frightened
and whirled around directly toward the en-
CINE, and for a few seconds it appeared
that he would take the buggy directly in

and received q severe cash over one eye,
and suffered the fracture of RIB. He will
be laid up for a while, but is fortunate In
