Daniels will have served in the of flee of marshal just one year and his new commission appoints him for a period of four years His commission is now in the hands of Judge Kent
 Marshal Daniels has not been in the city for several weeks. Since then heI was in very serious wreck in Cali fOrnia, when he was taking to San Francisco for deportation twenty Chinamen and one Chinese woman. In the dispatches it was reported that MT Daniels was very seriously hurt. but this he says. was erroneous. Att the time of the wreck which occurred about T:1O in the morning. he was in the dining car and had just concluded his breakfast. He intended to go to the car where his Chinese were and relieve one of the guards and also see how everything was progressing. He had to wait d few minutes for the head 1 waiter to bring him his change from a bill offered in payment of his check. | This wait proved to be a very fortu- nate occurrence for him, owing to the fact that the car which he was going
 
 and after the wreck lay on it's top. 1 while the dining car was only badly shaken up.
 Immediately after the train had come to stop Marshal Daniels went through one of the car windows to the l ground and at once began to look up the car in which were his Chinamen. 1 He found it just as several of the Chinks were making their way out of the wreckage Some little time was taken in putting cut fire which had started in the car but as soon as possible the Chinamen were lined up and counted. It was then found thatl there was one man gone. One of the l guards traced him for several miles, | and finally located him in field with l several other Chinamen. He had been with a different suit of clothes i and was without shoes but on one of his hands was tell tale badly smash l ed finger by which it was easy to pick 1 him out The finger had assisted the l guard in tracking him for the China l man had stopped at a ranch house en l route to the field where he was caught i 10 have his finger dressed.
 He was brought back to the scene of the wreck and after several hours. | the passengers were taken on a relief ! train to San Francisco. One comicaI | incident in connection with the affair | was the effect of the wreck on the Chinese woman. Up to the time of the | wreck she had talked necessarily and | had been source of great annoyance | 10 the guards. After the wreck. all | though she was not in any way injur- | ed she did not speak a word. It was l he intention of MT. Daniels to deport | f'nlnaUQgr month, and in this he was successful, ! notwithstanding the delay occasioned | Dy the wreck.
 Arrests for being unlawfuIly in the | United States are frequent on the bor- Ter and the marshal has nearly q. sec | )nd carload for shipment.
