LOST HIS LEG.
A sad Accident at the Santa Fe
Depot.

A sad Accident at the santa Fe
Depot.
A distressing accident occurred last
nj ght at the Santa Fe delo on First
street. When the Kansas City ex-
press pulled out at 10P. NJ. those con-
gregated on the platform were horri-
fed to see an old man lying by the
side of the track with his left leg com
pletely severed from his body Just
below the hip. Help was at once
summoned and the unfortunate man
conveyed to the police station for
medical treatment. A surgeon dressed
his wounds and administered dose
of morphine, after which the sufferer
was conveyed to the County Hospi-
tai. In addition to losing his leg he
has also sustained severe injuries
about his head and shoulders, and he
is undoubtedly in very precarious
condition.
He gave bis name as J ). B. Buckley
and said that he had been working
for the Southern Pacific for some
time past. He was evidently en-
deavoring to beat the train by riding
on the brakebeam, and in some man
ner he was thrown from his seat Just
as the train was pulling out. He bore
his suferings manfully, but repeat
edly exclaimed, 81 am going to die. !"
"It is all up with me" and other
similar expressions while on
his way to the police sta
ton. Owing. however, 70 the
manner in which the wheels of
the cars passed over his limb there is
a slight possibility OF his recovery, for
the loss of blood was comparatively
small i the severed arteries being en-
bedded in the lacerated flesh.
An unpleasant incident connected
with the sad affair occurred in con-
junction with obtaininga vehicle to re-
move the injured man from the scene
of the accident. w. w. Waters,
driver Of transfer wagon No. 9S2, was
called upon by the surgeon to convey
the sufferer to the County Hospital,
but it was said he refused
point blank to do so, saying
that he wanted some one to guar
antee payment for his services before
he would do as requested. The SUR
geon assured him that the remunera-
ton would be forthcoming, but the
driver still declined and stood
haggling about the paltry dollar or
two while his fellow-man lay near by
slowly bleeding to death. He was
prevailed upon, however, to take the
injured man as far as the police sta
tion, and muttering that he did not
propose to be beaten out OF his pay he
proceeded reluctantly to Second street
with his ghastly load.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-05-10

believing ear the slander Of fee. He
walked highway Of his own, and
kept the company OF his own self-re-
spect.
"He would turn aside to avoid a
foe, to greet or gain friend. In his
nature there was no compromise. To
him there were but two paths right
and wrong. He was maligned, mis-
represented and misunderstood, but
he would not answer. He knew that
character spoke louder far than any
word. He was as silent then as. he is
now, and his silence better than any
form of speech refuted every charge.
'He was an American, proud Of his
country, that was and ever will be
proud OF him. He did not find per-
fections only in other lands, he did
not grow small and shruuken, with
cred and apologetic, in the presence
of those upon whom greatness had
been thrust by chance. He could not
be overawed by dukes or lords, or
fattered into vertabrnless subseryi-
ence by the patronizing smiles of
kings. In the midst of conventionali-
ties he had a feeling of suifocation.
He believed in the royalty of man, in
the sovereignty of the citizen, and in
the matchless greatness of this Re-
public.
He was Of classic mould, a figure
from the antique world. He had the
pose of the great statues the pride
and bearing Of the intellectual Greek,
of the conqueripg Roman; and he
stood in the free air as though in his
veins there flowed the blood Of q hum
dred kings: And as he lived, he died. |
Proudly he entered the darkness,
or the dawn, that we call death. I'm
he passed beyond the hor-
izon, beyond the twilight's purple |
hills, beyond the utmost reach Of hu-
man harm or help, to that vast realm
Of silence or of joy where innumerable |
dwell; and he has left with us his |
wealth of thought and deed, the mem
Dry Of brave, imperious, honest man,
who bowed alone to death.n

and New York lawyer, name con.
cealed, were put upon the same list
with Actor Kyrle Bellew and other
people, who are unpleasantly connect
ed with the sensational divorce pro-
c,edings between Leslie Carter, a
wealthy Chicago lawyer, and
his wife, Caroline Louise Car
ter. The accusations are made
by Mrs. Mary HI. Morrissey,
who was formerly employed at a
hotel at Cooperstown, N. Y, and at
Newport. She claims to have seen
Mrs. Carter in very compromising
positions with both the gentlemen
described and with others.
ON ACCOUNT OF A FORGERY.
Henry Cummings sued the bank Of
British Columbia recently for $40, the
amount OF a bill Of exchange, which
he received from the bank at West
minister, B. c., payable in San
Francisco. While staying in
Los Angeles the plaintiff lost the bill,
but on giving notice received a du-
plicate from Westminster. When
he presented it he was informed the
original had already been cashed
with his name indorsed ON tie
back, and payment was refused
him. Plaintiff claims his name was
forged by the person finding the check
and that as he warned the bank, it
was responsible; while counsel
for defendant held he should
have given notice to the local
office as WELL Justice Stafford giving
Judgment for plaintiff, said he believed
had taken proper means
and that the bank should have been
familiar with payee's signature and
detected the forgery.

The auditorium of the Opera House
was well filled last night, and Mrs.
Langtry will doubtless continue to
draw good houses throughout the rest
of her engagement. All those who
have never seen her before are of
course anxious to gaze upon her
much-advertised charms, and those
who witnessed her performances here
last year are fiocking to see her again
now that the news has gone round OF
the vast improvement in her acting.
Then, again, the fact that the pieces
enacted have never been given here
before is another drawing card, and
it is certainly quite up to the standard
OF the melodramas usually presented.
1t will hold the boards during the rest
of the week, and matinee will be
