RUNAW HORSE
ON PARK ROAD

While the main driveway in Golden
Gate Park was crowded with vehicles
Yesterday afternoon a horse driven by
T. Van Stein ran away and caused in
jury to several people. Mrs. Eddie Gra-
ney, wife of the well-known referee,
who was riding horseback, was thrown
to the ground. The animal on which
she was mounted was badly injured.
Van Stein and a lady who accompanied
him were pitched to the roadway, but
escaped with slight bruises. T. H.
Brown, pedestrian, was also knocked
down, but not badly injured.
Van Stein and his companion had
started to drive from the boathouse
when the animal became unmanagable.
The driver did his best to remain in
the road, and for a time succeeded in
doing so. Narrowly missing other We
hicles. the maddened animal dashed
along and it seems a miracle that fa-
talities did not result. When the run
away horse reached the main drive
way Van Stein turned him in the direc-
ton of the city and the dash con-
tinued among the many carriages and
buggies that were on the road The
excitement was intense for a time and
to gain control of the horse.
The runaway had gone but short
distance on the main driveway when he
collided with a saddle horse on which
was seated Mrs. Graney. The lady had
been unable to reach q place of safety
and the force of the collision Knocked
her to the ground. Her horse, which is
a valuable one. was severely cut and in
iured. Mrs. Graney refused to go to
the hospital and was removed to her
home. At this time Van STEMS We
hicle was overturned and both it's oc-
cupants were tossed out. moment
later the horse swung into the bicycle
path and knocked down Mr.. Brown,
who was on foot. Brown, like the 9TH
ers. refused the attention of the hospi-
tai surgeons and went to his home.
The horse was captured soon afterward
and returned to a stable on Mission
street. from which it had been hired.
The buggy was a wreck.

demolishing six residences and causing
other damage to property. Three per-
sons were injured, one seriously. Much
damage was done in the country north
of here.
A funnel-shaped cloud approached
the town from the south, following the
course of a ravine. The residence of
S. w. Rieff was first struck and the
house, barn and outbuildings destroy
ed. All the members of the family
escaped except a young man, who was
bruised and scratched. The residence
of Mrs. P. S. Fisher was next struck.
The building was picked up and car
ried considerable distance and de-
molished. The family had seen the
approach of the storm and escaped. The
large Fisher apple orchard was ruined.
The large residence of Archie Brown,
next in the path of the storm, was
wrecked and two of Browns daughters
injured. One, struck by the stove fall
ing on her, was seriously hurt. The
residence of Peter Sellberg was next
wrecked, the family escaping. After

Beyond Mcpherson the tornado fol-
lowed the ground taking the path of an
old watercourSe. The tornado passed
four miles east of Salina, wrecking tele-
phone and telegraph poles and farm
property. Efforts made to follow the
course of the storm by telephone were
made, but all the wires are down.
1t is miracle that great damage was
not done at Mcpherson and many per-
sons killed, as the tornado barely miss
ed the thickly settled residence district.
MOUNT VERNON, Tex, April "a
The worst tornado ever known in this
section struck Mount Vernon from the
southwest tonight. Eleven houses
were blown down, the residence of J. H.
Mayors, vice president of the First Ma
tional Bank, being completely demol-
ished. Mayors was seriously injured.
and Mrs. Mayors and c. H. Harp and
son and daughter were injured. The
house of w. w. Arnold was shattered
and strewn for hundreds of yards, and
Arnold and his wife and a young
woman visiting them were all painfully
injured. J. p. Castleberry was seriously
injured in the destruction of his house.
Trees, fences and wires were blown

MACNATE WILL
VIEW CUT OFF

President E. H. Hartman of the
Southern. Pacific Company and his
party of New York financiers departed
yesterday for the East in their palatial
train. They left this city at IL:
o'clock in the morning by way of the
Ogden route, with the intention of in
specting the recent work of straighten-
ing out the Central Pacific and making
a trip over the Lucin cutoff, which is
causing much worriment to Hartman
and his engineering and operating
forces. 1t was expected that President
Hartman would remain here until
Tuesday. In fact he had made several
engagements for the early part of the
week, but was compelled to cancel
them.
Before leaving his offices yesterday
the railroad magnate and several of
his officials. including Director of Main
\ tenance and Operations Kruttschnitt,
General Manager Markham and Man
ager Agler had a long conference, dur
ing which many changes in the operat-
ing departments of the company, which
may result from the absorption of the
California Northwestern and the North
Shore roads and the compact entered
into between Hartman and Ripley,
were discussed.
1t is generally understood that sew
eral new divisions will be created in the
northern part of the State, one of
which will include the two small roads
recently acquired by the Southern Pa
cific and a proposed new connecting
branch between the California North
western and the Napa division and an
other of the small branches of the
Sacramento division, which is getting
too big for one man to handle. OF
course these changes viii not be made
for some time but when that time
comes General Manager Markham will
be prepared to submit plan to Di-
rector Kruttschnitt, who is very famii-
lar with the situation. 1t is reported
that the Improvement of the roadway
of the California Northwestern will be
one of the first pieces of new work or
dered by President Hartman Who
will assume charge of the two coast
roads is a matter yet to be decided
on by Director Kruttschnitt. 1t is COM
mon talk IN railroad circles, however,
that President Foster of the California
Northwestern is soon to leave on a
trip to Europe and during his absence
1t is believed that whoever is appointed
to take charge of the road will eventu-
ally assume it's management as we'll
as that OF the North Shore and carry
out any changes that may be suggested
by Director Kruttschnitt.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAUSALITO. April 24-The propri-
etors Of Buena Vista Park have open
ly defied the authorities OF Sausalito.
Last Monday night the license hereto
fore enjoyed by the managers of the
resort was revoked and the place was
ordered closed. To-day a picnic was
on the programme and the park was
thrown open for a large number of
guests. The guests arrived. but soon
found that their day of pleasure was
10 be disturbed. The authorities had
notified the proprietors of the fact that
they would not be permitted TO sell
liquor or even TO open the park to the
public. The managers then defied the
municipal officers, and not only opened
the park, but sold liquor, as well as
conducted other attractions contrary TO
the new city ordinance.
As a result, when there were nearly
a thousand people on the grounds, City
Marshal Harmon with twelve deputies
appeared upon the scene and arrested
L. d. Schord and Charles +. Carl
son Of San Francisco. as proprietors
of the park The two men were taken
before Justice Prior and charged with
selling liquor without a license. They
pleaded not guilty and were placed
under 500 bail TO appear next Mon
day. At that time Mayor Thomas was
present ana INFORMED Ine p1epTleIOfS
that the new ordinance passed would
not permit them to keep the park open
and that it must be closed within 2a
hour
Messrs. Schord and Carlson, aided by
a corps of attorneys, defied the Mayor
and returned to the park. AT 4 p. m.
the cOnstabulary of the city again re-
appeared upon the scene and this time
cOrraled about fifteen men. including
all the attendants, gatekeeperS. etc.
They were all hustled before Justice
Prior and this time placed under $500
bail each. Still they defied the author
ities and held the crowd at their re-
sort At 4:30 the third raid was head
ed by the Mayor and City Trustees and
once again large number were hauled
before a Magistrate. Again they were
placed under $500 bail and given to un-
derstand that If they were again
brought into court very severe bail
bond would be required. After that
the park was closed for the day, but
the mana agement claim they will open
next Sunday.
The Sausalito City Trustees are de-
termined to put a stop to Sunday pic
MICS and their action is sanctioned by
the residents in general They claim

the fine music and delightful weather.
The excursion that will be given
from here to San Francisco next
Thursday morning to afford the visit

feature of the weeks programme to
many of the visitors.
Thomas L. Floyd, who won the prize
in a notable contest among the Native
Sons four years ago, is still a resident
of Vallejo. At the time the order held
the big celebration of Admission day

the then obscure hamlet of Point Rich
mond was offered as a prize to the
Native Son having the largest family
of BOYS. Mr.. Floyd at that time had
eight boys who called him papa and he
won the prize. The lot was then worth
