A STREET-CAR COLLIDES
With Farmers Wason-Painful Injury to Mrs
OTOole,

At ii 80 this forenoon as Mr..
OToole was driving his wagon over
the track OF the street-car company,
corner OF Fourth and Adams streets, q
car going west ran into the rear end of
the former vehicle, turning it over
and throwing Mr.. OToole and his
wife to the ground. The former was
uninjured but the woman sustained q
severe cut on the mouth, probably
from her teeth coming in contact by
the jar with her lower lip which was
nearly severed its entire length from
her mouth. In addition to this, three
of her upper teeth were knocked out.
DIR. Riley was called and he took
five stitches in the lip, when che was
sent to the hospital for care until she
is able to proceed to her home, which
is about IL miles from town.
1t is said that the motorman soon
as he saw the danger tried to stop the
car, but that its momentum was so
great the wheels slid on the track
making collision inevitable. The in
juries to the victim OF this accident,
while painful, are not regarded as at
all dangerous, there being no other
bruises as might have been expected
from such violent fall.

A. J. Burr, one OF the old-time resi-.

st. Peters hospital, Wednesday morn
ing, after an illness extending over
several months. Deceased was ma.
tive of Missouri and - years of age.
He came to California in 1850 and
eight years afterwards drifted north
ward, settling in Olympia, where he
has almost continuously ever since re-
sided, the exception being a short
time spent in the British Columbia
mining regions. The only public
office he ever held was that of Post
master, during the second term of
President Lincoln. Mr.. Burr was in
dustrious and enterprising and the
beginning OF the oyster trade and
cranberry culture may be attributed
to his energy and foresight. The
most of deceased's time, however, was
passed in watch and clock repairing.
He was the pioneer "jeweler" of
