SAN BERNARDINO, April 27.-
Charles w. Frazier, a brakeman, last
night had miraculous escape from in
stant death under the wheels of the
Santa Fe train on which he was en-
| ployed. The train was coming down
the mountain side in the Cajon pass
when Frazier lost his balance and was
thrown down between the cars. With
rare presence of mind he managed 10
throw himself far enough out to barely
miss the rails, thus preventing himself
from being ground to pieces.
| Lying out on the mountain side with
a broken leg, broken ribs and internal
injuries all night, was not a cheerful
prospect He suddenly remembered
that he had some matches in his pocket
and began lighting them as a light
engine came into sight coming down the
mountain. The engineers keen eye
caught sight of the Pickering light
beside the track and, coming to a stop
he found the injured man. Frazier was
brought to this city as quickly as steam
could carry him, and given medical
attention.
Cotton people are elated over a prop
osition from the Southern Pacific
railroad to erect handsome two story
stone passenger station in that city,
if the municipality will agree to close
Ninth street as a public thoroughfare.
This street runs directly through the
business center of the city and is
traversed by the Riverside San Bernar-
Salt Lake roads, as many as forty
trains a day passing over it and max
ing it a very dangerous spot. The
company agrees to open Eighth street
across it's right of way and maintain
fagmen there. The plan is looked
upon with great favor by many of the
people and may be accepted. The com
pany agrees to spend not less than
$4,000 on the new depot.
The next racing event in the city
will be on Monday, when the San Ber-
nardino County Driving club will give
May day matinee. Among the events
that are scheduled are a free-for- IL,
three minute class trot; one mile dash,
pace, free-for-all trot, 240 class trot,
and three minute class pace. Hand
some prizes have been provided for the
winners of the events.
