SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. 22.--Gus
Holm was the victim of a shocking
accident yesterday at Etiwanda, be-
ing crushed between a fiat car and the
Santa Fe pile driver. Holm is a resi-
dent of Los Angeles. He has been an
employe of the bridge and building de-
partment of the Santa Fe for ten
years. and this is his second bad ac-
cident.
THE crew had been driving piles at
what is known as bridge A-95, when the
foreman ordered the fiat cars and pile
driver pulled onto sidetrack to make
way for a passenger train then due.
Holm was standing near the front end
of the pile driver and failed to see the
string df fiat cars backing down.
p Before he realized his danger he was
jammed between the two cars and
when the cars were started he fell in
a heap unconscious from the effects of
the shock. 1t was seen that he was
badly injured and he was hurried to
this city, where he was treated by DR..
Baylis and then taken to Los Angeles.
An examination of his injuries
showed that his left side had been
crushed in, all the ribs broken and
serious internal injuries sustained. He
rallied strongly before being placed on
Attorney Byron Waters has been re-
tanned by G. Il. F'arnham to defend

merchants here, claiming to be an
agent for the Standard Collection
agency of San Francisco, which in
tended to open branch Office here.
His hearing on one of the charges has
been set for March /.

rested, charged with selling liquor
without a license, and has enriched
the county by payment of a fine of
$150 Justice Van Dyke, who imposed
the fine, warned the woman that if she
was arrested on a similar charge again
she would have to pay $500. The re-
peated arrests have been due to the
activity OF the Ahti-Saloon league.
The heavy rains of the past two days
compelled the postponement of the

given this afternoon at Association
park under the auspices of the San
Bernardino Driving club. 1t is ex-
pected to pull off the program during
the spring. though no date has been
fixed upon for the event.
A heavy snowstorm swept the San
Bernardino mountains last night, the
snow lying five inches deep at Squirrel
Inn. There was no cold spell accom-
panying the storm, so that guests at
the various mountain resorts thorough
ly enjoyed the novel experience of a
blizzard, where they could look through
field glasses to the green valley.

SANTA BARBARA, Feb. 24.--Dr.
Lorenzo G. Yates has just been noti-
fled by Prof. James Perrin Smith that
a newly discovered fossil has been
named in honor of the Santa Barbara
scientist. 1t is declared by Prof.
Smith, who is professor of paleontology
at Stanford university and ought to
know, that it is a Characteristic species
and has been named Hungarites Yatesi.
The paleontologist adds that he would
be glad to send DR.. Yates a specimen
of his namesake, but there is no dupli-
cate, all being the property of the
United States geological survey.
The species was discovered by II. w.
Turner in the Middle Trikssic, OH the
Union wash, in the Inyo range, Inyo
county, Cal. 1t is described in pro-
fessional paper No. 40 of the United
States geological survey, where it is
stated that "the name is given in
honor of DIR. L. G.. Yates in recogni-
ton of his contributions to the geol-
,ogy of California;,
In a personal letter Prof. Smith
states:
Il send you small box of fossils,
which will add to your collection cer-
tain rare species and make it more
representative of the Mesozoic of the
west. These are largely Triassc and
come from my own collection, got to-
gether in recent years in Nevada and
California. They are a sort of thank
offering to you for the use of your
collection in all the years when it was
deposited with us. I cannot tell you
how much 1 regretted that our univer-
sity authorities were unable to buy
your collection and keep it permanent
ly with us nor how much have missed
1t since 1T is gone nor in how great
estimation the name of DR.. Yates is
held by me and Of those under my
instruction"
The collection referred to by Prof.
Smith is recognized as one of the fin
est in existence.

NEW SCHEDULE GOES INTO

SANTA BARBARA WELCOMES THE
IMPROVED SERVICE
Six Stops Between Los Angeles and
San Francisco-WiII Reach Here
at 11:15 A. M.
Special to The Herald.


SANTA BARBARA, Feb. 22.-Com-
mercial Agent Richardson of the South
ern Pacific yesterday received the first
official advices as to the schedule of
the new Shore Line Limited. The SER
vice will be inaugurated on March 1,
and will continue for two or three
months, becoming permanent feature
should the travel justify.
The train will leave Los Angeles at
O'Clock each morning, arriving in
Santa Barbara at 1115 a. m., and
reaching San Francisco at $3.50 in the
evening. There will be but six stops
on the road, the first out of Los An
geles being Santa Barbara, thence San
Luis Obispo, Paso Robes, Castrovile,
Pajaro and San Jose. The leaving time
from San Francisco will be the same as
from Los Angeles, s a. m., and the
train will reach Santa Barbara at 6:15
in the evening and Los Angeles at $3.50.
This will cause several changes in
the old schedule, but they have not
yet been authoritatively announced.
The present coast line limited will run
on a somewhat slower schedule, and
instead of leaving Los Angeles at s
o'clock as at present will probably
leave there at $3.50, reaching Santa Bar
bara about noon. The local, leaving
there now at $3.50 a. IN. is expected to
leave earlier, porbably at o'clock.
reaching here after the Shore Line
Limited, about 1880. But these an
nouncements, other than with respect
to the new train, are not official.
1t is expected that the new train
will carry the mail and express. It
will cut the running time between Los
Angeles and San Francisco to IL 1-3
hours. and will be not only the finest
but the fastest daylight train running
over western roads. 1t will be COM
posed entirely of parlor and observa-
ton cars, one going direct from Los
Angeles to Del Monte and the others
direct to San Francisco.
