81 Told You So.,,

A pleasure party had narrow escape
on Sunday afternoon. They consisted of
man, his wife and children, and had
evidently been cut taking look at the
country, for the horses in the buggy in
which they were seated looked rather
jaded as they started to cross the rail-
road track at the junction where the
Pine street line runs on to Alameda.
While the steeds were still on the rails
4 shrill whistle resounded and in
the distance could be seen the Santa
Monica train bearing down at lively
rate. The driver became excited and
pulled up, but seeing that that was not
the thing to be done applied the whip
vigorously, and with bound the horses
dragged tho Jehicle from the rails just
in time. for the pilot of the engine was
only few yards away. The travellers
did not escape altogether however, for the
buggy struck big rock, owing to the
bad driving, and turned over, throwing
all of its occupants into the road. AS
the engine whirled by the fireman heard
the woman say to her husband, as she
picked herself out of the dust, 81 told
you so."

EIying Fish.

One of the wagons belonging to the
Los Angeles Fish Company was at the
Wolfskill depot unloading, at 8 O'Clock
yesterday morning, and the horses were
evidently unused to railroad life, for
when switch engine came steaming by
they became frightened and ran. They
made across the open plaza, straight for
where the hacks were standing, but be-
fore they had time to dash into the wait
ing vehicles, a tall spaniard, who
was standing by the big palm
tree, jumped at them and seized
them by the brides. There was lit
tie struggle, but he held on and finally
quieted them without injury to any one,
the wagon, however, upsetting and scat
tering the fish all over the scene of the
trouble.

Caught I'm nthe Car-Trncks.

The necessity of having good driver
in charge of any vehicle sent along the
principal streets of Los Angeles, was
again instanced yesterday afternoon in
front of the Phillips Block. Two ladies,
seated in a buggy, were driving along
with one wheel running on the metals Of
the car-rails, when the warning "Clear
the track" bell of car resounded from
behind. They turned the horse at right
angles, with the result of breaking the
buggy shafts and upsetting the vehicle,
both of its occupants escaping, however,
with nothing more serious than scratches
and bruises.

"a Terrible mtstnka.n

Catalina Island, as a pleasure resort, is appre-
ciated only by those who have experienced a
days fishing, a moonlight ride on the
beautiful bay, bath in the refreshing water,
or tramp across the hills with rifle.
In failing to visit this wonderful place, with
the attractions that have been added through
the enterprise of Ford & Myer, who have re-
fitted the hotel and increased the boating and
bathing facilities, you surely make terrible
mistake. The hotel will be opened March 10Th.

TRAIN-WRECKERS FOILED.

Division.

Division.
An attempt to wreck the Santa Bar
bara passenger train was frustrated yes
terday morning with no more damage
than breaking three pairs of Car wheels.
Whoever it was that desired to see the
train ditched placed brakeshoe in the
frog at the spur for the quarries between
Sespe and Fillmore, and this was nat
urally unobservable from the cab win
dow of an approaching train. The first
intimation that the engineer had of the
danger was jumping of the locomotive,
and he hastily applied the air brakes,
the train stopping without anything
more serious than rocking of the bag
gage car. A search soon disclosed the
obstruction which WAS probably placed
in position by some tramp in revenge for
being unable to beat his way on the car.
