A SERIES OF ACCIDENTS

Three Runaways and Two Horses Fatally
Injured
Mrs, z. L. Parmelee lost valuable mare
yesterday. The lady had the animal
hitched to buggy in front of her home on
Temple street near Bonnie Brae and left
it to get her wrap. During her absence
the mare took fright and dashed into the
latter street and fell against the curb,
breaking its left hind leg badly, the bone
protruding from the wound. Officer Rich
ardson shot the animal and after waiting
ten minutes went away thinking the mare
dead. 1t revived soon after, though, and
Officer Sawyer had to shoot it once more
to end its suffering.
While wal ing in front of the Chinese
laundry at 34S East First street yesterday
afternoon, the horse attached to the deliv-
cry wagon ran away with the driver, pull
ing wildly at the lines. Down First street
the animal headed with crowd in eager
and amused pursuit. At the corner of
Alameda the horse tried to turn but upset
the wagon, dumping driver and half
dozen baskets of clean clothes out into the
mud and water, The Chinese driver was
not hurt, the only damage done being to
the linen and other fine rAiment.

PASADENA, Dec. 20.-Assembly hall of

with roc or brick, and the two clinchsd.
West then pulled his revolver and COM

to see coming up Court street. Payne and
West were both covered with blood and
dirt, and before the gore was washed away
either of them promised work for the cor

Payne gives no explanation of his assault
on Steinbrenner, but says that West at

was said about arresting him, but the Off

FRIDAY MORNING CLUB
California Before the Argonauts.-.The
Paper Read Yesterday
A Brief Sketch of the Hardships and Trials
of the First Immigrants, by
Mrs. s. o. Houghton

At the Friday Morning club yesterday
Mrs. S. o. Houghton read an interesting
paper on "California Before the Argo-
nauts," in which she related the toll and
privations of the early settlers and the
hardships and trials of the first emigrants
in their journey across the plains, with that
feeling and pathos that can only be de-
tailed from personal experience.
Beginning with the leave-takings at the
old homestead in the east, Mrs. Houghton
carried her hearers through the scenes
passed through by the courageous pioneers,
showing the small companies of emigrant
wagons, describing their outfits which in
most cases represented this sole fortunes of
their owners, and picturing the bright
hopes Of the parties starting out; the dis
appointment they fought with on the way,
and the fears OF the women and children
from the attacks of the Indians in the long
and weary journey across the plains. She
described the disasters of the Bonner
party of 80 that started out in 1916,
and through the Misrepresentation of the
Hastings cut-eff lost half of their members
in the SHOWS of the far north. Mrs.
Houghton gave many bright glimpses of
this land of sunshine as it appeared to
these new Corners in the early days of
ls4e, of the attitude of the
Spanish residents, and of experiences with
the Indians, and the detailing of the hard
ships of those who first broke the ground,
and their lack of food and clothing. The
new arrivals separated into small colonies,
branching out to the spots that bsst suited
them, some selecting the fertile valleys of
Monterey, othera going as far as San Fran
cisco. Here building sites were purchased
for the sum of $l2.62].. Building mater
ials were difficult to obtain, and the houses
were neither artistic nor picturesque, the
chief aim and consideration being to en-
close az much space as possible with the
smallest amount of material. With all
these drawbacks however, American en-
terprise and thrift had, in one short year,
