TRAFFIC BLOCKED
BY DERAILED CAR
Accident at Third and
Market Streets Ties Up
the Service for an Hour

Although peace reigns between the
carmen and their employers. the entire
city between the hours of 5 and 6
O'Clock last evening presented the old
familiar scenes of the strike DAYS.
People returning from pleasure expe-
ditions. anxious to reach their homes.
were obliged to walk. The cause of
the tie-up was derailed car at Third
and Market streets. More than two
hundred cars stood idle while the mo-
torman and conductor endeavored to
replace their car on the tracks.
1t was shortly after o'clock that
car. No. 69S Of the Twenty-ninth and
Noe streets line arrived at Third and
Market streets on its scheduled run.
The jarring Of the car over the rails
threw a loesened bolt from the gear
casing. The bolt fell directly upon the
track. causing the derailment of the
car.
It was not until almost 6 o'clock that
the car was finally replaced and started
on its journey.

A three-year-o tot, dressed in blue
gingham and pink sunbonnet, is
causing the police almostias much .trou-
BILE as the thieves and footpads. Her
name is Hazel Peery. She is the daugh-
ter OF j.. w. Peery and lives with her
parents at 1917 Scott street
Early Saturday morning she decided
that home was too quiet for her, and
without asking any ones consent she
started out on an expedition of her
own. Hour after hour passed with no
trace of the little one. Her frantic
mother called on the police to aid In
the search, and finally she was picked
up ten blocks away, as little concerned
about her own welfare as if she was
just out for an afternoon stroll
Again yesterday she decided to- leave
home. 1t was little after IL o'clock
that she was missed by her mother.
This time the police were called. upon
Immediately. A number of bluecoats
were started out from the O'Farrell
and Bush street stations in search of
her.
The mother suspected that she. might
return to the police station because
she babbled of her experience with the
big-hearted men who had taken such
good care of her. She told her mother
that they had given her. candy and
money. that they had romped with her
over the station floor and that al
together she had a very enjoyable
outing.
Little Miss Peery. however, in spite
of her adventuresome disposition, has
not learned the difference between q
police station and a fire house. She
left home with the intention suspected
by her mother. but instead of finding
CT ct.o
There were big bluecoated men there,
horses and a dog. The place seemed
just as. attractive to her as had the
police station.
Without the formality of an intro
duction she took possession of. the
place. 1t did not take long to win
the hearts of the fire laddies and She
was soon the belle of the house.
After a. good deal of coaxing she
consented to tell the name of her
parents and she was carried back home
before the policemen found her.

Mrs Garrison, with the two children.
started in search of him. Upon arriv-
Ing there she was informed by people
who knew him that her husband had
gone to San Francisco. Hither she
came determined to find him, but
again she was disappointed.
From people who knew him she
learned that at the time of the fire

months to learn these facts and she
is now disgusted with a series of dis

she told Sergeant Fitzhenry of the

buggy. The highwayman caught
the horse by the bride and compelled
both to get out of the buggy. Search
ing them he secured 81 from Ratio.
