pAsADENA (Office of The Herald, s.
East Colorado street), April SAN I'M
usually lively runaway for Pasadena, the
citv OF runaways occurred this morning
At about 10 o'clock. A team belonging to
Macomber g. Kellam was standing near a
nile of wood on North Euclid avenue when
= few sticks OF the wood fell and struck
the animals. which are naturally nervous
and somewhat unruly. They ran down
Euclid avenue dragging the big empty
coal wagon and turned into Colorado
street, headed for the center of town.
Passing Macomber G Kellams place OF
business the team kept straight on
through the crowded street and miracu-
1ously missed other teams. At the corner
of Raymond avenue and Colorado street,
George Baker attempted to get IN the
wagon from the rear and was thrown V.o-
iently to the pavement, but was not hurt.
The team kept on and in front OF the FIRST
National bank came to grief. Bystanders
thought that the team would collide with
the bank but fire plug on this corner
was directly In line with the runawaye,
which swerved to the right to avoid an
electric car. The axle Of the wagon struck
the plug and snapped 1t short off at the
sidewalk. Then one horse slipped. the
harness broke, the other horse kept on
and the wagon stopped right side up with
the fallen horse sQuarely under the wagon
box. The wagon had to be wheeled over
the animal before 1t could rise. No other
damage was done, though It Is wonder a
horse was not killed.

BREvITIES
Dennis Prince, who lives on Little av-
enue. fell and broke his leg this morning.
Mr.. Prince was picking oranges in an orch
ard on the corner Of Orange Grove avenue
and Columbia street and fell short dis
tance from the ladder. He was taken to
Or. Hodges hospital, where it was found
that his left leg had been broken few
Inches above the ankle.
There is likely to be some more lively
controversy over the Terrace avenue
proposition. The case comes up next Mon
day. A comparison of the petition of the
pgoteStants and the official record and mar
OF the city engineer shows that number
Of the protestants have actually signed for
more frontage than they really own. Per-
haps the protestants can explain this cir
cumstance in a satisfactory manner, but
the fact that number of mistakes of the
kind were made has set tongues to wag-
cling.

ception this evening In the Christian
