REDDINs' CLOSE SHAVE.
Struck by Cable Car and Trampled
IL. L


William ]. Reddn, a huckster, miraeu-
lously escaped being crashed to death by
a cable car on Pennsylvania avenue in
front of the National Hotel last evening
Il little after s o'clock. As it was he
was badly shaken up and trampleG under
the feet of the horse he Was driving.
1t Was stated by those who saw the ac-
cident that Reddin attempted to drive
across the track Immediately in front of
au eastbound cable train Just after it had
passed the Sixth street crossing. The
car was not moving very rapidly at the
time or the collision must have resulted
seriously.
The grip, it is said, struck full against
the front wheels of the wagon, the con-
cussion throwing Reddin forward and to
the ground on the other side of the horse,
which turned and stepped on the fallen
man.
Reddin was picked up and taken into
Stotts' drug store to await the arrival
OF the patrol wagon from No. 6 police
station. When taken to the station it was
discovered that he had been drinking and
luckily was not hurt in the collision.
