The new arrival was saluted by all the
steamers in port as she came up the
river in tow of the tug Fearless and
escorted by the Manzanita, with Cap.

interview, from which representative
of THE CHRONICLE learned that every

them. The team ran south on Union,
turned east on Fifth, then north on
Washington and finally collided with a
live tree at the northeast corner of the
Geo. A. Liebe residence property. Both
horses were thrown and the tree felled
to the ground. They were then caught
but beyond the breaking of the harness
