NOTES.
A carload of fagman's houses in the
terminal yards yesterday attracted con-
siderable attention. They will be put
in place along the line where they are
needed.
The Santa Barbara branch OF the
Southern Pacific is doing the largest
freight business in its history. From
twenty-five to thirty carloads of beans
are being shipped every week, besides
miscellaneous freight. Another train
of beans is being loaded at Goleta and
will be sent out tomorrow.
On the morning of the Esd ultimo,
while the SO was bowling along at the rate
of about 20 miles an hour, between
Daggett and Newberry, Engineer Nash
noticed that something was hot at the
front end and like good engineer he
went out on the running board to inves-
tigate. While standing intent upon the
subject before him the 80 gave a sudden
lurch, and the clever little engineer lost
his hold, and went whirling into space
landing all over the desert country round
about there. His fireman missed him
after the train had gone about a mile,
when the train was stopped and backed
up to the scene of the accident. The
engineer was found sitting near the
track in half dazed condition, and was
picked up and taken to Barstow, where
DIR. Rhea saw and attended him. Con-
fusion OF the back and neck and of the
knee andleg, with an incomplete fracture
of the larger bone of the leg were found
and treated by the doctor. Nash is in
his room here, with the injured limb
encased in plaster of paris; but will
soon commence gymnastic exercises on
pair of crutches.
S. w. Leutweiier spent Tuesday at
Santa Monica on business connected
with the L. A. and P.
