RIVERSIDE, Oct. 20.-Isaac Hall,
abducted rancher, and Isaac Hall, re-
stored capitalist, was the dual part
played by an old gentleman today who
has nearly reached the three-score-
and ten period. The double role was
played all unconsciously by Hall. He
didn't know that he was lost and that
officers in two counties were looking
for him until reproachfully reminded
of the fact by his son.
Hall came to town to meet his sis
ter, who was expected on the Salt
Lake overland from the east yester-
day morning. He tailed to connect
with her and instead was seen to
drive eff with stranger. He failed
to return home and his son, accom-
panied by his wife, came to town to
look him up. He had completely dis
appeared and gone, too, were his buck
skin horse and open buggy. Some
body remembered that the old gentle
man said he was going to Sherman
institute with his new-found friend,
but he did not show up there, and at
IL o'clock last night the officers were
notified and began to get busy. They
failed to get any trace of the old man,
and this morning the search was re-
sumed. Somebody thought he had seen
Hall and his companion driving mad
ly into a canyon at West Riverside.
Deputy Sheriff Brown and Halls son
searched the canyon, but in vain. A
squad from the police station secured
the bush in the river bottom with no
better success. And, In the meantime.
the officers in San Bernardino were on
the alert to head off the mysterious
stranger, OF whom they had several

At 1858 this morning Hall stepped
from the Southern Pacific train. He
mad spent the night in Cotton hoping
to meet his sister there when she
alighted from the overland. He had
taken care of himself for three-ouar-
ters of century and thought it un-
necessary to notify anybody as to his
destination. His horse had been
placed in a local stable, where it had
occurred to nobody to look for it.
Rev. w. F. Taylor, D. D., died at his
home on Ninth street last night from
a paralytic stroke. He was born in
London sixty years ago and came to
America early in life. He was con-
nected with an art company in Brook
lyn for time, and when nearly thir-
ty years old entered Rochester univer-
sity, New York, where he graduated
with high honors. He was ordained
as a minister of the Baptist church in
1875 and for several years was pastor
OF the First Baptist church of Indian
apolis. He came to Riverside in 1929
and served as pastor of the First Bap-
tist church up to the time of his death.
He was the founder of the Present
Day club and served as library trus-
tee. DR.. Taylor was a man of broad
culture, and was recognized as one Of
the most able divines OF his faith in

SAN BERNARDINO, Oct. 20.-Salt
Lake and Southern Pacific passenger
trains narrowly escaped head-on
collision last night on a curve half a
mile north of Riverside junction, the
disaster being averted by Engineer
Evans of the Southern Pacific train,
who saw the flash of the electric head
light of the Salt Lake train across
the sky long before the train came
into view.
Evans reversed his engine and
brought his train to a stop. Engineer
Chamberlain did not know of the APP
proach of the Southern Pacific train
until he saw it ahead Of him as he
rounded the curve. He also reversed
his engine and put on the air, but was
only able to bring his train to stop
six feet from the other train.
Just as his train slowed down,
Chamberlain jumped believing a col
lision was unavoidable, and rolled back
off an embankment under the wheels
just as they ceased turning.
The Salt Lake train was late and
it is said that the conductor failed to
note from the Riverside junction regis
ter whether the Southern Pacific train
had passed. The Southern Pacific
track from Riverside Junction to this
city is used jointly by the trains of
both roads.
j. Fierro, a teamster in the employ
of the Brookings Lumber and Box
company, sustained severe injuries
while on the way to the company's s
mountain camp with load of freight.
While going up the grade he dropped
one of the reins and jumped off the
wagon between it and the embankment
to pick it up without stopping the
team. The wagon swerved toward the
bank, severely crushing Fierro. He
was brought to the company hospital
in the valley where he will be confined
for some time.
