JANEs BARNETT ULNAN NKxrs WITH
A VIOLENT DEATH.
away Horse Two Other Men
Also Receive Injury.

James Barnett Ulman came to his death
in sudden and frightful manner in this
city yesterday. He was walking mp street
in company with a friend, and they were
crossing Second street, chatting pleasantly
together, when a runaway horse, attached
to q contractors wagon, came dashing
along from the direction Of the Yolo bridge.
The men were so engrosed in converse
ton that they did not see nor hear the
horse and wagon as the latter approached
them.
They were almost across Second street
when some one on the southwest corner of
Second and streets called out to them to
get out of the way.
The men stopped, looked about them,
and saw that the horse and wagon were al
most upon them. They attempted to get
out of the way of the maddened animal,
but were too late. The horse dashed
against them at full speed and with fright
full force.
Ulman's comIanion-whose name could
not be learned-did not receive the full
force of the shock, but was thrown vio-
lently to one side and fell heavily upon
the cobblestones. The horse struck Ulman
full in the back, as he turned to get out of
the way, and the unfortunate man was
carried full thirty feet southwark before he
fell.
As he went down the horri6ed spectators
saw the horse trample upon him and the
wagon pass over his body.
Officers Higgins, Shook and White were
not far away, and they ran at once to
where he lay and picked him up. As they
did so blood gushed from his mouth in tor
rents. A hack was summoned and Ul-
man taken to the Receiving Hospital in an
unconscious condition, and the City Physi-
clan summoned.
Ulman's son, who is employed at Phil
lips drug store at Sixth and K streets, was
soon informed of the terrible accident, and
FASTENED to the hospital. But the injured
man was beyond the reach of human aid,
and about an hour after the accident he
breatbed his last.
His companion was also picked up and
assisted to the sidewalk by persons who
witnessed the accident. 1t was at first sup
posed that he had been seriously injured,
but in short time he was able to walk.
He visited the Receiving Hospital. but
failed to leave bis name with the officers
there.
Deceased was resident of Elk Grove,
native of Canada and 40 years of age. He
leaves wife and one son, the young man
referred to.
The latter could not be seen last night,
but it was learned that his father had come
to this city in search of employment.
Neither Ulman nor his companion had been
drinking, and apparently he was q sober,
industrious citizen.
Mr.. Ulman was telegraphed for and came
up from Elk Grove last night.
After colliding with the men, the run.
away horse continued through Second
street. Chesley g. Co.'s delivery outfit was
standing in front of their store, and the
wagon attached to the runaway animal
struck the other with such force as to break
one of its wheels.
Continuing its mad career, the horse
turned into K street. and between Third
and Fourth collided with light wagon, in
which boy was seated. The latter vehicle
was turned around as if on pivot, but the
boy kept his seat and his team was pre-.
vented from running off by persons near
at hand.
The contractors horse pursued his way
and ran upon the sidewalk in front of
Weinstock. Lubin & Co.'s store, which was
crowded with people. Three little girls

upon. A little farther on the horse was
caught and secured.
1t was learned also that the driver of the
horse was thrown from the vehicle near
the Pioneer Mills and considerably in
jured Nobody seemed to have any knowl-
edge of the man, nor as to whom the horse
belonged-only that it was a small gray
animal, and that the wagon was of the kind
used by carpenters, plumbers and contract
ors generally.
Coroner Clark took charge of the body of
the deceased, but it is not likely that an in
quest will be deemed necessary.
