SAN BERNARDINO, May 21.-John
Fl. O'Brien, a Well-knowr Santa Fee en-
ploye, met with an accident this morning
which resulted in the loss of his left foot.
O'Brien was coming in as brakeman on
a section of the Wallace show trains
this morning, and when the train arrived
at Highland junction, just north of the
city, it slowed up as usual and he jumped
down from between the cars to run
ahead to see that the switch was all
right. AS he jumped to the track. in
some way he missed his footing, and his
left foot slipped on to the rail just in
front of wheel.
The train was still moving slowly, and
the wheel caught O'Brien's foot, pass
ing over and crushing it.
O'Brien was picked up and brought
to this city and conveyed to the German
hospital where the foot was taken off
at the ankle.

PASADENA, May 21.-Quite num-
her of SPECTATORS attended the trial OF
]. d. Murphy for harness stealing,
which convened this morning in the re-
corder's court at o'clock. The prose-
cution was represented by City AttOr-
ney Arthur and the defense by G. a.
Gibbs. The following gentlemen acted
as jurors: Captain Wakeley, F. r..
Twombly, Thomas Grimes, J. A. Allin.
Parker and Conant After being out
only fifteen minutes the jury returned a
verdict of guilty, and sentence will be
passed next Tuesday at o'clock.
Mr.. Mcintyre, the complainant. was
the first witness called. He lives in q
house adjoining Mrs. Whitmore's on Ell
Dorado street, and kept his harness in
that lady's barn. He testified that Muir
ply knew the harness to have been his,
as he had pointed it out to Murphy while
he was working in the yard. Some time
later he missed a single and double set
from the barn, and visited Murphy, ask
ing him if he had not taken the harness
by mistake, as Murphy had bought some
harness from Mrs. Whitmore. Murphy
denied having taken it. Mr.. Mcintyre,
finding that Murphy had sold the har-
ness to Fawcett. the second hand dealer.
swore out a complaint. and then agreed
to dismiss the case if the harness were
returned to him, but Murphy's lawyer
advised him not to accept the propos-
ition.
Elk Marshal Buchanan testified that
he. with Officer Bristol and Mcintyre,
went to Murphy's with search warrant
and We're refused admission by Mrs
Murphy on the ground that it was Sun
day After threat to break down the
door, they were let in and Mr.. McIn-
tyres harness was found, besides bits
of other sets Murphy affirmed that he
had purchased the harness OF Mrs.
Whitmore.
w. G. Benson clerk for Fawcett, tes-
titled that Murphy brought the McIn-
tyre harness to the store to sell, again
representing that he had bought it of
Mrs. Whtmore and sold it for &c.
G. A. Gibbs then made motion for a
non-suit on the ground that the evil
dence did not show theft, but the motion
was denied
The defendant swore that he bought
job lot of harness of Mrs. Whitmore
for $40. understanding that he was to
take all the sets in the barn with the ex-
ception of a bride. He produced an ex-
tended list which he made out after be-
ing charged with the theft. At one time
he believed that the whole thing was a
put-up job on the part of Mrs. Whit
more. He received word from that
lady that he was not to work for her any
more. despite the fact that the harness
was to be paid for in labor. He thought
1t likely that Mrs. Whitmore had made a
better bargain with Mr.. Mcintyre and
wished to get out of the sale.
The next witness was Mr.. Strothers
whose testimony was Of little import
