that when machines are started prior

what promised to be a disastrous con-
test.

Injured Saturday.

Injured Saturday.
George Morgan, who lives between the
upper and lower Stockton roads, about
three miles south of this city, was
thrown from his wagon and probably
fatally injured, on Eighth street, near
n, on Saturday morning.
While driving, his hame strap either
broke or became unfastened and the
tongue fell to the ground. His horses
ran away and he was thrown out and
one Of the horses either kicked him or
stepped on him. He was badly cut about
the left side of the head and it is feared
that his skull was fractured. He was
picked up unconscious and taken to the
Receiving Hospital, where he lay all
day without recovering consciousness
and as he was growing worse he was
removed yesterday morning to the Sis
ters of Mercy's Hospital, where his life
still hangs in the balance, his condition
being unchanged last night
What adds to the sadness of this ac-
cident is the fact that Mr.. Morgan s
mother is very i'll and he had come into
town to procure medicine for her. He
was on his way home with it when the
accident occurred.
Ohe OF the doctors who is attending

that he did not think Morgan would

DOUBLY AFFLICTED.
5. s. Fulton Bereft of Both His Wife
and Child.


The old adage that "misfortunes
never come singly' has had a sad ex-
emplification in the case of S. S. Full
ton of the Southern Pacific Company s
passenger department in this city.
Some months since his wife went to
visit her mother at Kirbyville, Pa,
Z taking with her their infant child.
Early in December Mr.. Fulton received
telegram announcing her death, and
his load of sorrow and grief has now
been doubled by the receipt of the news
of the death of his child at the age of
IL months-the last of his once happy
little family.
Prior to these Affections the bereaved
husband and father had suffered much.
He had lost one arm and sustained
other severe injuries in a railroad
wreck, but this misfortune he accepted
philosophically, having the compan-
icnship and love of a faithful wife and
interesting child. The loss of these,
however, especially under such painful
circumstances, complete a burden of
woe under which only the strongest
heart and most hopeful nature could
bear up.
Mr.. Fulton has the sympathy of a
wide circle of friends in his affiiction
