PASSENGER CAR STRUCK
BY RUNAWAY FREIGHT
Seven People Injured in Oregon in
an Accident on q Steep
Grade,

PORTLAND, March 1.-One woman
and six men were more or less seri-
ously injured to-day when runaway
freight car. ON the Oregon Water
Power and Railway Company's line
collided with a combined mail and
passenger car from Cazadero. When
ascending Boring Hill, a steep grade
near Barton station. the motorman of
the mail car observed a runaway
freight car. descending at furious
rate of speed. He quickly reversed
the motors. The descent had begun
and considerable speed had been
gained before the inevitable collision
took place.
There were number of passengers
in the forward section of the car,
and being warned of the impending
danger, several had passed into the
mail compartment before the crash
came. One end of the mail car and
the freight car were wrecked, but the
presence of mind of the motorman
prevented serious injury to the pas
sengers.

Mrs. Agnes Sterling of Ills Clay
street averred her ability to get along
amicably with her landlady, Mrs. Ber-

Mrs. Rogers and Miss Mitchell put their

passlvely endure, inasmuch as she was

Judge Mogan would. surely opine IL he
understood the circumstances.
Mrs. Simeon then testified that for
three months she had been trying to
force Mrs. Sterling out of Ills, because
of the truculent character of that lady.
A rent increase from $40 to SIS a month
did not have the desired effect. al
though how Mr.. Sterling managed to
meet the raise was more than she
could understand. Did the undesirable
tenant use offensive language? Lam
guage was no name for It. She simply
said everything OF an offensive kind
that she could lay her tongue to.
Moreover Mr.. Sterling had said that
his wife had him "buffaloed," thereby

Petaluma Electric and the
California Northwestern
Men Fight in Santa Rosa
Special Dispatch to Tn. Cali.

SANTA ROSA, March 1.-For six
hours to-day several hundred men faced
each other with crowbars, picks, shovels
and fought while they pried and dug
at the rails. 1t was at the Sebastopol
avenue crossing when the Petaluma
and Santa Rosa Electric Railway force
attempted to cut the California North
western rails and cross into the city.
The Northwestern people were ON hand
to prevent the work. They succeeded
Until a restraining order arrived and
they were forced to withdraw. This
left a clear field for the electric people
and they built the crossing during the
night. AS result of the battle. several
men were hurt and several arrests
were made.
This morning Judge ]. NJ. Seawell Of
San Francisco dissolved the injunction
against the electric line and both sides
gathered for. the conflict. The North
western ran two locomotives and sew
eral flat cars on to the crossing where
the electric force was saving the rails.
The two gangs Of men fought each
othez. with their implements, and rocks.
While the men dug at the rails their
opponents. threw sand on them. The
engines were. specially fitted with steam
pipes through which hot steam was
thrown on the men at work.
Director Frank Brush Of the electric
railway lay on the ground in front Of
a Northwestern locomotive as it was
moving down to obstruct the crossing
and stopped it, the engineer not daring
TO. run over and crush him. Two
wagons were driven on to the crossing
and were wrecked between the two
locomotives as they came down the
track in opposite directions.
Warrants were subsequently served
on Superintendent Hunter, Chief Engi-
neers Zook and Barrows and a number
Of Northwestern employees, charging
them with obstructing the work of the
electric road. Superintendents Thorn
ton and Fairchild and General Passen-
ger Agent H. H. Huntington and a
number of other officials were arrested
on other charges.
About o'clock in the afternoon
President Foster arrived on a special
train with $50 employees as reinforce
merits for the fight. 1t looked as
though the conflict would grow more
serious when a restraining order ar
rived from. Judge j. Seawell in San

Northwestern from interfering with the
electric road at the crossing and was
made .returnable on Monday. Foster
Immediately called off his men. ordered
the locomotive to haul the cars away
