TRAINS CRASH
IN DENSE FOG
Rear-End Collision on
the Narrow Gauge in
Alameda.
Rails Were Slippery and the
Brakes Did Not Operate
Quickly.

ALAMEDA, Nov. 30.-In the heavy fog
which enveloped the city this evening and
retarded local traffic, the through train
from San Jose crashed into the rear end
Of local train on the narrow gauge at
Webster-street station at $50 o'clock.
The San Jose train was moving slowly
at the time, otherwise there might have
been serious accident and perhaps loss
of life. AS 1t was the rear platform of
the last car on the local train, which was
at a standstill. was mucked and the car
considerably damaged. There were but
a few persons in the car when the COL
lision occurred, as the travel on the local
train going toward tie pier at that time
Is always very light.
The San Jose train had followed the
local train from Park-street station. Be-
cause of the dense fog a sharp lookout
was kept by the engineer and fireman, as
the trains were never more than few
hundred yards apart. When the local
stopped at Webster-street the San Jose
through train was near Encinal station.
There Is a heavy downward grade from
Encinal station to Webster-street station
and the rails being wet and slippery the
brakes on the San Jose train did not
operate quickly enough to prevent 1t from
striking the last car on the local train.
There was but little delay caused by the
collision and both trains proceeded to the
pier.

'T have learned that there are quite a

PRANK Of A LAD
ENDS IN DEATH
Berkeley Boy Shoots
Himself While Play
ing With Chum.
Two Men Near Scene Of Acct.
dent Refuse to Render
Aid.

BERKELEY, Nov. s0.-Harry Fortier,
a 16-year-old boy whose home was at 2015
Bancroft way, accidentally shot himself
in the leg this morning, while hunting on
the Berkeley hills, dying a few hours
later from loss Of blood and shock AL
though conscious until within twenty
minutes Of his death the only intelligibls
statement was, "Scott didn't do it," made
to exonerate his companion, Scott Mills,
from all blame.
The shooting was the result of careless
playfulness on the part Of the boys.
When near the upper reservoir on the
hills they commenced good natured scuf-
fling and as Mills started to climb fence
young Fortier poked him with the butt
OF his shotgun. In some manner the shell
was exploded and the entire charge OF
shot passed through the inside of For
tiers left thigh just below the groin,
tearing out a hole an inch in diameter
and breaking the femoral artery. Mills
ran to the house Of Bruno Cordo. the
keeper OF the reservoir, for assistance
and Mrs. Cordo came to the side OF the
injured lad, but could do nothing for
him.
Two cruelty Indifferent men working IN
a field near by refused their aid, declar-
ing that they were not able to leave their
work. Mills did not know the men and
his appeals for help were without avail.
AS he turned back to his wounded COM
rade. Charles Sleeper. a boy Of IS, reached
the spot and taking Mrs. Cordo's cart
drove to this city, distance Of two miles,
for help.
Sleeper got L. NJ. Hale, Fortier's broth
er-in-law, who, with Fred Foss, secured
a wagon and drove to the scene Of the
shooting. The boy was then taken to DR..
H. n. Rowells office, where he was at
tended. The accident occurred at about
8 o'clock and IL was over two hours later
before young Fortier got medical attend
ance. He had virtually bled to death be-
fore he reached DR.. Rowell's office and
he rapidly sank until at $3.50 o'clock this
afternoon the end came.
The Mills boy is only II years OF age
and was badly frightened by the catas-
trophe. As his back was turned TO For
tier he did not see the shot and Is unable
to explain how the shell was exploded. He
felt Fortier strike him with the butt OF
his gun and an instant later the shot
ground.
s. NJ. Fortier, father Of the dead lad, Is
In the Government employ at the navy
yard in Vallejo. He was summoned by
telegraph, but did not arrive until twen-
ty minutes after his son had passed
away. The members Of the family ara
prostrated over the accident
Deputy Coroner ]. E. Streightif took
charge of the case and removed the body
to the family residence at the request OF
the parents. An inquest will be held.
