SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. Civilian
Mahl. G. P. Huntington's confidential
accountant, left Tor the east today. The
Examiner says that before his departure
he issued an order reducing the number
of men employed in the Southern Pac'hc
shops at Sacramento, Ogden, Oakland,
Los Angeles, Tucson and this city.

the shops at Sacramento and this mum,

will not suffer much reduction, as the
shops in that city ara already running
with small force OF men. In addition
to the reduction in mum bers, the men
will work only eight hours day instead
of ten. 1t is estimated that this reduc-
ton in employees will save the Southern
Pacific $50, 900 month.

The First Collision

STOCKTON, Dec. 6.-The first collision
on the Valley railroad occurred at Sis
o'clock this evening, when the local train
from San francisco smashed into three
loaded gravel cars OF the Valley road. No
one was hurt, bu5 a good manv persons
onthe Southern Pacific train we've badly
frightened.
Inc accident was inside the city limits,
and the passengers got out and walked to
the street cars. The accident was due 20
carelessness in running three loaded cars
across the Southern Pacific track and
leaving them there while the engine ran
back to get more cars. A brakeman was
on the gravel cars and he SAID he went
down the Southern Pacific tracks o give
the engineer a signal to stop, but the en-
gineer says he did not get the signal.

An Account Of His First Attempt to Ride
1t at Buffalo Hunt.
Thus led by those dedicated to re-
ligious service, the tribe leaves it's vii
lage, the people by families dropping
into line-men, we'll mounted, bearing
their weapons ready for use; women, in
gala dress, riding their decorated ponies,
older ones leading the pack horses; lit>
tie children in twos and threes upon the
backs of steady old nags, or snugly
slowed away in the swinging pouch be-
tween the tent poles, and the dogs trot-
ting complacently everywhere.
Here and there along the line of the
cavalcade is lad being initiated into
individual responsibility. He has been
upon the hunt before, as one Of the fam
ily, but this is the first step toward 60
ing independently uncared for as child.
The father has lassoed wild horse, sad
died and bridled him and now bids his
son mount the animal. The boy hangs
back, the colt is a fiery creature and al
ready restive under restraint. The IA
taer tells his son that the horse shall be
his own when he has conquered it, but
the lad does not move The lockers on
are smiling, and the cavalcade does not
wait. "Get up" says the father.
The boy slowly advances. and the colt
quickly recedes, but the boy, grasping
his name, swings himself into the sad
die. The father let's 90, and SO does the
colt-rears, jumps, wriggles, humps his
back like an infuriated cat, stands on
his fore legs and kicks at his own tail,
paws the air and stamps the earth, but
the boy olings to him until, with sud
den jerk, the saddle girth is broken, and
he is landed over the head Of the excited
creature, which runs for dear life and
liberty. Brought back, protesting by
twists and shakes Of his head, he is
again mounted and again frees himself, d.
After two or three repetitions of this
sort Of thing the boy becomes angry,
and the mother grows anxious. She runs
to her son as he is scrambling up from
the ground, feels him all over and
moves his legs and arms to see if he is
hurt. BE is impatient at the delay. He
is going to master that pony now or die
for it. This time he stays on. In vain
the animal lashes himself into foam and
fury. The boy sticks to him like the
shirt of Nessus, and the father at last
leads the indivisable pair between the
;ent poles which trail behind sophis-
t;icated family horse, and there, fenced
in, they journey all day, trying to get
used to each other. The pony does not
see his way out of the poles and is fore

A Turfman's Tale.

A New Jerseyman told me q good
story the other day on one Of our fore
most turfmen, man whose name is
perhaps printed oftener than that OF
any other connected with racing IN
America. A good many years ago this
turfman, who was not then deep in the
racing business, arrived in Jersey City
with trainload of mustangs from the
plains Of Texas. He knew nothing Of
the laws of the state nor Of the ordl-
nances of the city. He knew that he
wanted to sell his mustangs and thought
the best way to do it was to sell them
at auction. Being somewhat gifted in
speech, he determined that he would be
his own auctioneer. The sale started out
we'll. Fair prices were realized. Sud-
denly it was interrupted by policemen,
who demanded view Of our friends
license.
"License?" he said amazed. "What
license? I haven't any license of any
kind"
"Well, you can't sell horses in this
city without a license. You'll have to
come along. No monkey business with
u.s."
Of course he went along, but he was
lucky enough to find at court a friend "a
lawyer), who went bail for him in the
sum of $50. Then the lawyer said:
ga license costs $3.50. You are under
bonds. Go ahead and finish your sale,
collect your money and skip out. Give
me $50 to settle the forfeited bond, and
you are 5000 ahead Of the game. -
1t was done accordingly. The turf
man and his friend met in the St. James
hotel lately and laughed over the joke.
