Three Persons Badly Hurt by . Run
away.
POMONA, April l6.-Four runaways is
today's record. One resulted most dis
astrously, three persons being injured,
an old lady and gentleman and young
man.
The latter, George Valentine, a son Of
Mrs. Valentine, formerly OF the music
department of Lordsburg college but
now of Los Angeles, and sister of Mrs.
Horton of Lordsburg, who is we'll known
here. is seriously hurt and at this
hour, although several hours after the
accident, is still unconscious. 1t is
feared he has suffered concussion OF the
brain.
Drs. Davis and Garcelon are in at
tendance at the young mans bedside, at
Keller's hotel, where be was taken after
he was hurt to await the arrival OF his
mother, who was telegraphed for at Los
| Angeles.
Mrs. f. G. Herman received an ugly
scalp wound, although it is not a seri-
GUS one. This is a lady we'll along in
years, and the shock will necessarily be
quite heavily felt by her. She was
taken into ths Sherman house, and DR..
Huey 10 waiting upon her.
+. Il. Herman 10 a man 56 years of
sge, and escaped with fewer injuries
than the other occupant OF tAe vehicle,
having only his hip bruised.
Mr., and Mrs. Herman drove in from
their ranch on Holt avenue this morn
ing. They were in a light spring farm
wagon; the horse was q young one.
George Valentine rode into town with
Iax. g. L. I'D ~ 6a
front seat with Mrs. Herman. Mrs. Her
man was driving. Her husband was cit
ting on the rear end OF the wagon, draw
ing alter him light rig OF some sort.
The horse had reached Stout & Osmer'a
planning mill, near the depot, and. there
fore, was between two hres, as it we're,
when he made his break for liberty.
Mra. Herman brought her full weight
to bear upon the fractious animal in her
effort to stop him, but overtaxed her
strength; that with her fright caused
her to faint. Mr.. Herman got hold of
the lines, but the horse swing around
the corner into Carey avenue, overturn-
ing the wagon and throwing the party
| with considerable force upon the side
walk and against the curbing OF the
| Short & Schwan storeroom on the corner
of First and Carey avenue.
A particularly sad part OF the catas-
trophe is that George Valentine Is a del
icate boy, and had hardly recovered
from broken collar bone, this accident
! breaking the collar bone again and af-
hicting upon him q frightful and dan.
| gerous wound OF the head. hole
in the back OF his head large
enough to stick your fist in.
A part OF the wagon attached to the
horse struck B. F. Smiths buggy, in
which sat his wife and baby. breaking
the shafts of the buggy. and also mar
rowly escaped damaging Fred J. Smiths
rig, in which Mr.. Carey was sitting.
The horse, after freeing himself of the
wreck, stepped up in front of Kings
store and stopped.
The other runaways succeeded each
other with such amazing rapidity that
the whole town. after the terrible re-
suits related above, was in state of
nervous apprehension, not kno wing
what to expect next.
An earthquake shock was felt this
morning about O'Clock.
