Relief Engine, No. II, Meets With Ser
ious Accident.
Relief Engine II, sent up from the Cor
pOration Yard a few days ago to take the
place of the regular engine stationed on
California street, near Buchanan, which
was being repaired, met with bad acct
dent yesterday afternoon about ;45 o'clock,
in responding TO an alarm from Box 13J,
rung in for blaze at the corner Of Clay and
Leayenworth streets.
In attempting TO turn from Laguna into
Bush, james Riley, the driver, made mis-
calculation and the pOnderouS machine was
overturned. The grade al this point is very
steep, and the team was under pretty strong
Roadway when the turn was attempted
Riley was caught under the seat ana held
fast until eXtricated by friends.
When taken out he could not walk, hav-
ing received severe internal injuries, be-
sides being badly bruised about the head
and face. He was taken to the engine house
two blocks away. where his wounds were
dressed and afterwaTd removed TO his home
on Howard street.
Engineer Brandt was slightly injured
having received Il bruiSe on the left leg and
arm. The engine is very badly smashed
and will be removed from the scene of the
accident TO the Corporation ard this morn
ing.
Riley has been in the department for a
long time and has been singularly fortunate
in the matter of accidents. He las always
been considered careful man, and how the
Laguna-street grade misled him yesterda y
is what the other firemen do not understand.
