PASADENA, Oct. ga carriage
driven by NJ. J. Olds of $40 North
Madison street was struck by a west
bound Santa Fe train this afternoon
at the Union street crossing. Olds
claimed that he thought the train was
going the other direction. The loco
motive caught the rear wheels of the
carriage and reduced them to kindling
wood The horses were jerked loose
and the driver was dragged short
distance down the street Miss So
phronia Olds, a sister of the driver, was
in the carriage and was thrown out,
but luckily away from the track and
although dazed and somewhat bruised,
was not severely hurt A small boy
who was passing on a bicycle was
struck by the flying carriage and his
wheel demolished, although he was not
hurt 1t seemed a miracle that no
more damage was done the occupants
of the vehicle. The engineer of the
train slowed up on seeing the collision.
but on learning that no one was much
hurt steamed slowly into the station
and reported there. The electric bell
of the crossing rang continuously dur
ing the incident, showing that the
signal was in order.
ZiegIer Fails in Quest
Thomas Barker, accused by Ziegler,
a prisoner in the local Jail of having
had a part in the burglary of the
Los Robles avenue station of the Santa
Fe, was brought before Justice Cong
don this afternoon. The case was not
ready for trial and was continued until
Monday. Meanwhile it develops that
the Los Angeles and Santa Fe officers
at work on the Ziegler-Barker case
have captured another man, said 10
belong to the gang. Last evening a
man called at the county jail where
Barker is confined and asked to see
him. A deputy sheriff concealed him
self so as to hear the conversation be
tween the two men, the ruse resulting
in the immediate arrest of the stranger,
who is said to be one Forbes, and
whom Zeigler charges with having had
a hand in the Santa Fe hold-up near
BarstOw last spring. 'Curley," an
other member of the this much wanted
gang, and reputed leader in the hold
up, the officers believe will be the next
arrest. The fact that Ziegler has been
returned to the county Jail after
futile search for the Santa Fe gold in
the Arizona desert does not lead the
officers to believe that they are on the
verge of finally clearing up the mys-
terious affair and securing the punish
ment of the criminals for whom they
have been searching so long.

dence in ManchUria and Korea. one
