Santa Barbara, Cal, April 11.-A
street car loaded with passengers re
turning to town from the Old Mission
ran off the track at Garden and Mission
streets and five deaths have resulted.
All of the dead were Santa Barbara
people. Over 20 of the passengers
were injured, many of them being
Ifrightfully mangled. Over half the in
jured had bones broken about the body
and not few of them suffered serious
fractures of the skull.
The accident was due to defect in
the brake apparatus, as was revealed
upon an inspection of the car after the
accident. While the rear brakes were
tightly set against the wheels, the for
ward brakes were of no use, because
of the breaking of a part of the gear
ing. The motorman discovered that
something was wrong with the car
several blocks above the point where
the accident occurred and endeavored
to set the brakes, but failed to check
the speed of the car. At the intersec-
ton of Garden and Mission streets
there is a very sharp curve and the car
was moving at it's highest speed down
a per cent grade when the curve was
reached. The car was thrown from
the track upon it's side, the passengers
being thrown in every direction.
One section of the car was smashed
into splinters. Those who were in
stantly killed and many of those who
were most seriously injured were
standing upon the guard rail on the
ditch.
AS soon as the news of the accident
spread throughout the city every avail
able physician was sent to the aid of
the injured, and many prominent resi-
dents of the city were among those
who aided the suffering and dying. A
majority of the injured were taken to
the hospital and the remainder were
removed to their homes.
Following is the list of dead and in
jured.

A WEIRD LEGEND.
she Reason of the Daily Ebb and
Flow of the Sea.

no yen know why the sea Gibbs and
flows. This Is the legend: The army
Of drowned twice daily gather their
forces at tie bottom of the deep and
march toward the four points of the
compass to lay their weary bones on
earth and escape from their watcry
tomb You can hear their tramping-
they call it sea moaning-and see the
waves being pushed on before thcE III
:.."ts.s water. ILLS. Which dash against
each other i'll their furious flight from
tie escaping host. and when they
break and hurl clouds of snow white
spray high in the air it is caused by
the lashings from the swinging, hony
arms of the army drowned. And did
you ever listen to the weird noise as
these mountains of water leap up on
each other? That is the cry of the
victims of the sea.
On and on the waves are driven,
farther and farther they encroach on
land, and the feet of the mighty body
can be heard scraping for foothold on
the smooth shifting pebbles. Only
another incoming wave and escape is
theirs, but it is Just too late. The re
acted undertow sets in. and you hear
their Eony feet slip from under them,
and back they are carried, the sea
holding them tightly in its arms, ex-
hausted captives.
Then look when the tide has run far
out and see the prints of their feet,
and YOU will know why the sea ebbs
and flows.
