CLOSE CALL AT REDWOOD
Huntington's Special Train
Comes Near Causing Loss
of Life.
An Accident Narrowly Averted
While Running at Reckless
Speed.

REDWOOD CITY, CAL, Oct IA
special train with C. P. Huntington on
board came near causing q frightfuI acci-
dent near this city this morning.
The regular passenger train that leaves
Third and Townsend streets, San Fran
cisco. at 1910 O'Clock daily, is scheduled
70 arrive at Redwood City depot at II AS
To-day the tram was late. In place OF It =
special train carrying Mr.. Huntington
passed through town al about II:55. and
the regular train followed It few mo-
ments later. Al trains except the Mon
terey Express usually stop at Redwood
City depot, but to-day's special train
passed through town at q speed estimated
al from thirty to thirty-fve miles per
hour.
i four-horse team belonging TO z. F.
Preston. the wellknown attorney, was at
the freight depot. The driver ana another
man were on the seat. They had been to
the depot 10 look after freight, and started
TO return on their way 10 the Preston home
. in P0rtOla alley. Just as they were
/ leaving the depot, and going south 10 the
railroad crossing on j street. they heard
the whistle from LEe Incoming train from
/ san Francisco. 4 side-track on which
/ there are empty freightcars ObsCured the
( view OF the station, but they knew It was
/ time for the regular train, and that II
/ would stop at the depot, giving them
ample time 70 cross the track. So they
/ turned around the corner from behind the
/ freightCars. and started 70 cross the track.
/ Before they could turn back the Hunting
/ ton special was upon them.
Both men gave hOrri6ed yells but the
driver held the reins and urged on the
/ horses. The engineer was seen by he people
alongside the track. who were waiting for
the regular train. TO throw the lever back
with powerful jerk 70 bring the train 20
s halt, and then % unconsciously draw his
cap down over his eyes and lower his head
as though 20 shut out the horrible sight.
But the train did not strike. The bare
space OF foot saved Preston's men from
being dashed into eternity.
The affair has been the talk OF the town
to-day, because II IS not considered that
the railroad company Is sufficiently careful
70 protect the lives of the people. II Is not
known that there were any fagmen out TO
give warning OF the special train. There
have been fatal railroad accidents in this
county on many occasions, and the
Coroner's jUrIes have usually been very
IenIent with the railroad company. It is a
question, though, Just how much the
people can stand.

Carpenter ShepGrd's Lore for Drink

VALLEJO, CAL, Oct 1I-Another
naval officer has come to grief through too
great love for the flowing bowl. Not
long ago Francis 5. Shepard, car peuter, I.
:. y, was remanded to Mare Island for
court-martiaI for persistent drunkenness
while on duty. He had been attached TO
the Philadelphia, and it was while that
vessel was at San Francisco that Admiral
BeaTdslee ordered the delinquent to this
yard.
1t seems that Shepard's case was ag-
gravated by serious overstaying OF leave
by him while awaiting trial. 1t Is said he
was allowed a days Leave, and used It to
go 10 neighbOring town. not returning z
until the following night and then not II
the best of condition Whether or not
this affected the court IS not known, OF
course; but II is likely such was the case,
as the findings were OF the severest char
acter-nothing less than dismissal from
the service. This sentence has been con-
hrmed by the Navy Department, and to-
day Shepard left for the East.
Regret Is expressed that Shepard is SO
unfortunate, as he is OF kindly disposition
and good mechanic.
