Railroad Accident.

\ serious accident occurred in this
city last Sunday AT ; O'Clock. Ed Larson
was struck by car and almost killed
losing his left arm by being run over.
Larson was walking up the track and an
engine and two freight cars were coming
down from Boston siding passing Larson
near the back end of the Monroe place.
Larson fell acrosss the rail Just i'll front
of the car wheel. The brake forced
Larson's head off the rail but his left
arm passed under the wheel and it was
badly lacerated.
The victim was picked up by the train
men and he was taken to room i'll the
| Lewiston hotel DrS Morris aud Philips
amputated the arm al the elbow and
sewed up some severe scalp wounds
Larson says he tried to board the car and
fell under the wheel. The train men
believe he threw himself under the
wheel with suicidal intent. 1t is also
established that the unfortunate man
displayed signs OF mental unsoundness
both at the court house where he had
appeared as a witness and at his lodging
/ house.
| Ed Larson was born in Sweden where
he left mother, He also has brother
supposed to be i'll Spokane. He had

SAN PEDRO, February s, 1899.
AT 1910 on SATURDAY. night of the 4th
our regiment was ordered to fall in and
march TO block house No. II, about two
and half miles from our quarters. Our
first stop was made at one of the Catho-
lie churches or native forts, as they use the
churches and graveyards for forts. We
spread our blankets while bullets and ex-
posives popped and rang through the
air. The sound offiring came nearer and
nearer all the time as the natives were
driven up the river. We had laid down
for an hour, when the ma lor gave the or
der, attention." we were on our feet
in second, and on the march. We went
four blocks and halted about 800 yards
from the main fighting line in the middle
of an open street. There stop was made
about r2:25 at night. The command was
ordered to rest but not leave the ranks.
Bullets whistled on all sides of us, but
we held our place without tremor of
fear to any one.
The major walked up and down in front
of his battalion as proud and happy as
could be that we were going to have a
chance to show ourselves. We had been
here about an hour when volley of bull
lets whistled down the street, and one of
or poor boys let out a groan and fell to
the ground, SHOT just above the hip, rang
ing downward Major gave the order to
lay low and get close to a stone building,
and we did as he ordered us to. As we
sat down one of our sergeants said he
was shot, and the boys examined him
and found bad flesh wound just below
the shoulder. He was removed from the
ranks and l was ordered to take his place,
right guide of Co. b and at the head OF
the company. The first man Private
Hall belonged to my section, and was
within two feet of him when he fell, and
was standing by the left side of Sergt
Stanton who said "That boy is killed.
But he was carried away, and we did not
hear how bad he was shot for about an
hour, when we moved up to the firing
line, about fifty yards. The lieutenant
went to see how the two boys were get.
ting along, and he came back and told
us that Hall had very severe wound
but that Sergeant Scott had nothing but
shot through the feshy part of the
arm. We all laid down and took, o,
rather tried to take, a rest, but could not
sleep at all.

We were then ordered to lie down behind
the church wall, as the bullets whistled

been here about All hour wher volley
went over us-and where do YOU suppose
is came from That church We were
given an order to fall i'll, and march
around corner building; and squad of
Washington, boys who were on guard,
laid down behind the walls and killed
seven natives III the church. None of
us were wounded, but we cannot account
for that. But what puzzles us is that a
Filipino priest had the doors Of the
church opened, and he marched out hold
women and children clinging to his robe
or gown. Now, Just think! The boys
took pity on the children and would not
kill him, yet at the same time he would
let his people stand in the house of God
and shoot us down like dogs They have
no mercy at all You, nor can any one,
who was not in or near the battle can
imagine or think how we got through as
we did.

1t is the intention to sink shaft on the

| once upon time very level headed
| old soldier was commandment of cadets
at West Point and one day one of his
assistants, an energetic young officer,
came hastily in to say that he bad just
happened upon cadet duel at Fort
Clinton, had captured one of the par
Elephants and placed him under arrest,
but the principals, seconds and most of
those present had managed to escape.
The veteran listened grimly moment
and then said:
"Were they actually fighting when
you got wind of it?''
Yes, sir, was the earnest reply
Anybody could have heard them y

.'Then think you erred in interfering
Couldn't you have got there just a lit

But the regulations prohibit fight

Five minutes more would have settled
the thing one way or another, and that
would have been the end of it. They
would have shaken hands and been good
friends Now neither Of them has had
enough. Each believes he can whip the
other, and those youngsters will neither
be able to sleep nor study till they We
fought it out. Always prevent quarrel
when you can, but once they get going
never stop square fight, never see or
hear it-until you know it's over. -
In like manner wiser head than that
which dictated the telegraphio instruc-
tions to the department commander
that night would have seen that it was
far better for all parties in the mix at
San Francisco if Mr.. Loring had been
detained there long enough to have the
matter investigated from start to finish,
and SO to Fix the responsibility. 1t
was not of vital Importance that he
should sail by FIRST steamer, but there
had been friction between this particu-
lar general and the engineers, between
him and the adjutant general, between
him and the secretary of war, between
him and the division commander, then
temporarily absent and general who
differs with SO many eminent and astute
authorities as these enumerated must
occasionally err in Judgment.
Had Loring staid and been accorded
complete investigation the chances are
that he and the general would have
shaken hands and parted friends, for
both had sterling qualities. But orders
given in compliance with orders from
GuperiOrS are sometimes given only
grudgingly. The general had heard in
that brief interview with his late at
night callers enough to convince him
that the harshest charges laid at Lor-
ing's door belonged elsewhere. But
there were things Loring had been too
proud to explain-there was his insub.
ordinate-so the general regarded it
appeal over his commanders head to
the bureau in Washington; there was
