PASADENA, Dec. 29.-(Regular Cor
respondence.) Two narrow escapes
from death under the wheels of electric
cars occurred today. At about o'clock
this afternoon Mrs. H. M. Singer and
daughter, Miss Baker, were driving
along East Colorado street near Euclid
avenue. They missed the turn on
Euclid avenue and became confused so
that an electric car crashed into the
phaeton, throwing the two ladies out
and smashing a wheel and shaft OF the
vehicle, Mrs. Singer held to the reins
and with the aid of the motorman held
the horse. Neither lady was hurt be-
yond few bruises. The second accident
occurred at about 7:45 o'clock this eve
ming. Mr.. Y. j. Farr of 467 Cypress ave-
nue., while riding his wheel just south of
Throop on North Fair Oaks avenue,
heard car behind him and moved over
to the left hand track, taking it for
granted that the car would take the
right hand track. He discovered his
mistake in time to save himself but not
the wheel, which was badly smashed.
He thinks the cars should be obliged to
keep the right hand track.
