Superintendent of Street Cleaning. was on the car going to his home after his nights work. When seen by a representative of The Advertiser Mir. Keyton said:
 Yes. l was on the car, and saw the young woman run out of the front gate of the family residence on Adams Street, and her brother following Der. She ran right to the car as fast as she could run with her head thrown back SO that 1 do not believe that she saw the car. When she got within ten feet of me I became alarmed and call ed to the motorman to look out and at that time he or the conductor turn ed off the current and applied the brake. The young woman struck the car about where the platform joins onto the car. and about opposite the front wheel. As soon as she struck the car l jumped off and looked around expecting to see her lying on the ground. but could not see her until looking under the ear I saw her dress and about that time the car rolled of of her leaving her body about the middle of the track: she was terribly manEled.
 When first saw the young people run out of the gate l thought they | were playing and paid no especial at tention to them until they got neal | the car and saw she was going tc run into 1t and called out as before | stated. If had realized that she was going to run against the car I might | have jumped down and stopped her. The accident occurred two blocks north from the spot where car on the | Cloverdale line struck hose cart of Fi.a nanQ An f about two months ago and filled Fire Captain Sykes and seriously injured | three lirelnen.
