Vicissitudes of the Livermore local train,

about that particular train, which was
rendered all the more gloomy when a
third disaster was averted this morning

While on his inspecting tour this morn

fallen through trestle in Niles Canyon,

the trackwalker met the obstruction.
Realizing that the train bound from
Livermore was due within few minutes.
Crane hastened on and tagged the local

a very serious wreck.
The animal was caught in such a way
as to become an obstruction. which would
easily have wrecked the train had the en-
CINE struck ii. After quarter hour s
work, in which the train men assisted,
the horse was extricated and the local re-
sumed its run. Close behind the passen-

yesterday cleared the tracks of the de-
rallied and upset engine and cars that
were ditched near Pleasanton.
This mornings local left Livermore at
$50 o clock and arrived in Oakland a little
late but otherwise unijured.
The railroad officials are investigating
the cause of yesterdays derailment. but
have not reached decision. Because of

has had its detectives making a careful
inquiry along those lines.

BOY IS CRUSHED
BENEATH FENDER
Ulrica ROssi Dies From
Injuries Caused by
Electric Car.

While playing with a companion last
night on Kearny street little Ulrica Rossi,
the s-year-old son of DR.. Mario A. Rossi,
who resides at 517 Montgomery avenue,
was fatally crushed beneath the wheels
of an electric car. He was so badly in
jured that he died in half an hour while
his injuries were being examined on the
operating table at the Central Emergency
Hospital.
Passengers on the car that caused the
lads death and people who were passing
along the street at the time had to turn
their heads away when they saw the boy
lying crushed and groaning between the
fender and the front wheels.
The accident, according to the story told
by the boys brother ana A. F. Darling
the motroman of the car, was due to
young Rossi's carelessness. John Rossi, a
12-year-old brother of Ulrica, works as
cashboy In Roos Bros clothing store
About o'clock Ulrica carried his broth
er's supper to the store. The brother was
then busy at his work and little Ulrica
began to play tag with a companion on
Kearny street. near Post He evidently
was absorbed in the game that he did
not see or hear the car approaching He
ran directly In front Of it and was knocked
down and dragged beneath the fender
that the boys body was caught between
the fender and the wheels. 1t required
some little time to extricate it from it's
cramped position The car had to be par
TALLY lifted from the rails.
Although the wheels did not pass over
little Rossi, his body was badly bruised
in the abdominal region and his left leg
was lacerated. Despite the severity of
his injuries he did not lose consciousness.

moned an ambulance and had the little
fellow taken to the Central Emergency
Hospital He was attended by DR.. Ed
ward Bunnell, but he died almost as sooh
as he was placed on the operating table.
Death was probably due to internal in
juries and to the shock which his system
sustained.
A pathetic scene occurred when DR..
Rossi, the father of the dead child,
reached the hospital and learned the sad
fate of his son. He broke down complete
ly. John Ross, the 12-year-old brother,
to whom Ulrica carried supper, was
heart-broken.
The car which struck young Rossi was
No. 1175 of the Mission and Kearny
streets line. 1t was northbound at the
time. The motorman, A. F. Darling, and
the conductor, c.. A Macarthur, were ar
rested and taken to the Central Station
Darling told the police that the boy ran
out from behind southbound car direct
ly in front Of his car. He said that he
did not see the little fellow until the car
was upon him and that he stopped the
car within six feet. Motorman Darling
has been In the service Of the company for
a number of years, but this is his first ac-
cident. He IS about to leave the employ
of the company, as he has completed a
course In dentistry and is about to enter

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,


111S Broadway, Jan g.
The Southern Pacific Company has an
nounced that the trains on the Webster
street line to Alameda pier will resume
operations ON Monday morning. This
branch has been shut down since the
burning Of the depot at the end Of the
narrow gauge mole.
Orders were issued to-day to the oper-
ating department to have engines and
cars ready and to have train crews report
for duty. The track men have received
instructions to put the disused roadbed
and tracks in shape for the resumption
of travel on Monday
1t has been known for several days that
the company purposed an early renewal
of operations the Webster-street line
because the fifteen minute service on the
Seventh-street local road has been dis
continued. In order to accommodate the
heavy commuter travel, the Webster
street road must, of necessity, be re-
opened. There is not sufficient train SER
vice under the half-hour schedule to
handle the travel from Oakland on the
Seventh-street road with the Webster
street branch suspended.
The company chooses to resume the lat
ter service rather than to continue the
hfteen-minute boats and trains. Railroad
officials, in exclamation of the abandon
ment Of the extra boats, say that the
facilities at both sides OF the bay are in
sufficient to properly safeguard travel
With only one slip at the Oakland broad
gauge mole, much delay and some danger
have been occasioned during the opera
ton of the extra schedule.
With the reopening of the Webster
street line, local travel conditions are
placed on their former footing and the
crush on the Seventh-street route will be
greatly lessened.
