Author

The Salt Lake road is again in the
game as far as beach business Is con-
cerned and several additional trains
between Terminal island and Los An
geles will be put in operation on the
morning of May 27.
Beach business has always been one
of the hobbies of Tom Peck, assist
ant general passenger agent, and it is
through his efforts that the new
schedule was made out For several
years, even before it became part of
the through line to Salt Lake City. this
road carried thousands of passengers
to and from San Pedro. This business
was secured through the solicitation of
Mr.. Peck.

At present the road runs but two
trains daily. One each way in the
morning and one in the afternoon.
These trains are always loaded with
as many passengers as they can

On and after May 27 the first train
will leave Los Angeles at 6:15 in the
morning, daily, except Sunday. This
will be called the Fisherman's train,
which name designates its purpose. on
Sundays, when the people do not arise
as early in the morning as on week

The Catalina flyer, making no stops
between Los Angeles and the beach

Because Of the heroism Of Engineer
william w. Tebbetts series Of aoci-
dents which might have resulted in
terrible loss Of life was narrowly
averted Saturday night when the three
big grays that run with engine No. 8
dashed from the Hill street fire engine
house without a guiding hand on the
reins.
Through some inadvertancy Of r. G.
Hammel, spare driver, the big machine
dashed from the house before he could
take his seat.
Engineer Tebbetts. realizing the dis
aster that would follow the frenzied
flight of the uncontrolled horses, crept
along the suction pipe, and clinging to
his swaying perch finally reached the
relns and got the frightened animals
under control three blocks away
The alarm rang in a little after IL
o'clock and the streets were crowded
with theater-goers.
At Broadway and Third streets hum
dreds of pedestrians were panic stricken
by the sight of the runaway engine
bearing down, on them with all the
potentiality for tearing it's way through
the crowd Of terrified people.
Hosemen Cheer Brave comrade
Engineer Tebbetts, careless Of his
own life, was all the while slowly
working his perilous way to the relns
and the control Of the big grays who
knew no guiding hand was behind
them.
His assistant, Fred Fix, was hurled
from his station when the big engine
swung around Hill and Third streets.
Upon Tebbetts' efforts alone depended
the safety of scores of persons.
Ahead was the hose wagon, its men
powerless to give aid and glancing back
at the ponderous machine that was
rushing down behind them with no
driver on the seat
The men saw indstinctly a man pain
fully clambering UP the suction pipe.
They witnessed his climb to the
drivers seat, and gave a cheer when at
the reins in his hands and the frantic
horses under control.
Hero Is Modest
The modest, unassurning engineer
blushed like school girl that night
when. the company returned to their
quarters as Chief Lips publicly compli-
mented Tebbetts for his bravery and
quick wit.
An alarm rang in at 11:O9 O'CLOCK
Saturday night for a fire at 499 East
Third street.
The hose cart left the Till street
engine house ON the run and the three
big grays, the pride of the department,
settled themselves under their harness
in front of engine No. 8, the largest
machine in the Los Angeles depart
ment.
Charles Huston, the regular driver.
was absent on leave and r. G. Ham
mel was substitute.
For some reason Hammel did not
take his place on the seat when the
engine left the house.
Engineer Tebbetts and his assistant,
Fix, were busy firing and getting up
steam.
AS Tebbetts Strengthened up after
turning wide the steam valve he was

horrifed to see there was no driver on
the seat ahead.
Assistant Thrown From Engine
The horses also realized that there
was no one to control them and became
frantic with excitement.
Ahead the light hose wagon turned
the corner at Hill and Third streets.
The engine followed, skldding on two
wheels and almost overturning. Teb-
belts knew the danger of the big
engines running wild down the busy
thoroughfares, and without o thought
for his own safety started to climb to-
ward the drivers set.
Assistant Fix was thrown from his
position and was rolling on the pave
ment unable to lend helping hand.
Grasplng the big suction pipe, Teb-
belts raised himself from the rear plat
form. He clung to the smokestack
with one hand and finally worked him
self to q precarious position from
which he could make an uncertain leap
for the drivers seat. He took the
chance and landed in a heap and
barely escaped rolling under the
massive wheels of the engine.
Tebbetts seized the left rein that
was wound about a rod, but realized
that If he pulled that rein alone he
would dash the maddened team into
the hose wagon.
Gets Horses Under Control
Cropping for the other rein, which
was caught on bolt on the pole, Teb-
belts finally gathered both reins in his
hands, and pulling back with all his
strength and calling to his grays
finally succeeded in getting them under
control at Main street.
At that point hundreds Of persons
from the Belasco theater were pouring
down the street and death would have
been the fate of many save for the
bravery and heroism of Engineer Teb-
belts.
He made no mention of his exploit,
but on, the return to the fire headquar-
ters Chief Lipps praised the young hero
in unstinted terms for the daring and
quick wit that had saved a terrible
wreck.
Tebbetts is about 26 years of age, is
unmarried and lives at 1907 South
Grand avenue. He has been on, the pay
roll of the fire department Ave years
and ever since his appointment he has
been steadily promoted.
He was first ladderman in engine
company 10. His appointment was
August 10, 1902.
he was next pTOIIlOtSu W Ue hOSeiiidh
in company 4. Later he was made a
relief engineer, attached to engine 1S.
On November 25. 1904, he was ap-
pointed engineer ON the big No. 8, the
pride of the fire department. His
friends predict still further promotion
and say that his rapid strides in the
department are remarkable for so
young man.
When asked about his exploit yester-
day Tebbetts said: "Oh, l didn't do
very much. I saw that there was no
driver and knew it meant bad acci-
dent. 1 did not stop to think about it.
but just climbed up and went for that
seat. l thought 1 could make 1t all
right. We boys take chances every
time there is an alarm, and that was
merely another chance"

WRITES STORY OF SOUTHLAND
T. C. Peck Tells of the Beautiful Sum-
rner In Southern California

Tom Peck. we'll known as the good
natured assistant general passenger
agent of the Salt Lake road, who al
ways has an eye out for business and
can see prospective passenger far
away, but who always has time to be
a good fellow and can tell as good a
story as the next one" now appears
in new light, that of writer.
In the May Arrowhead. the official
publication of the Salt Lake road, ap-
pears a three-page illustrated article
entitled Southern California's Sum-
mer Attractions" of which Mr.. Peck
is the author.
The story is in accordance with the
view which he takes of Southern Cali
fornia as a summer resort and has ex-
pressed in a pictorial map which was
issued a few weeks ago.
From the story can be discerned that
he is an adept with the pen. If per-
son is on friendly terms with him and
should find him in reminiscent mood,
he might tell of his first appearance as
a writer.
Like many men who have reached the
higher ranks in the railroad world, he
did some newspaper work when he was
boy. At the time he was ticket agent
for the Bee Line" at Indianapolis. He
wrote the society column for the Herald,
which was NpuplSned saturday at
that place.
From stories that are told by his as
sociates, he was quite mixer" To
use his own words, II used to spend
about all my salary in cab fare and
buying candy and flowers for the girls,
so you see it was not hard for me to
get a good account of the society events.
"As time went on put few railroad
notes into the society columns. One
day the idea struck me of filling up the
paper as much as 1 could with stories
about what was doing in railroad
circles.
"I did this for some time. until the
railroad editors of other papers took
notice of it and wanted me to write
for them. From that time / knew the
name of every machinist and workman
In the town and the number OF every
engine that went into the shops or
came out of them. The boys used to
tell this stuff to me just to see it in the
DaDers"

MISS HALL SCORES A
HIT ON RINK FLOOR
PRETTY ACTRESS ATTRACTS
MUCH ATTENTION
Society Turns Out in Force to Skate
at Morley's Place-Youneer Set
Is In Evidence During the After
noon

Miss Blanche Hall has scored an
other hit--in fact, it came near being
several hits, but all of the kind that
bring forth no applause from a sym
pathizing audience, but rather call for
a visit to the drug store to purchase
1fniment.
Miss Halls latest success was scored
at Morley's Grand avenue rink yester-
day afternoon. Determining to become
a skater the charming little leader of
the Burbank forces, accompanied by
Manager Morosco, William Desmond
and Joe Montrose, wended her way to
the rink and allowed the attendant to
place upon her feet pair of the latest
torture devices.
Then she sailed forth. But the boards
on which Miss Hall glided were rather
different from those she treadS nightly
at the Burbank, and the leading lady
found that her entrance scored a de-
cided hit-with the floor of the rink.
while the same audience which wit
Messed the drama would have split their
gloves willingly had Miss Hall been in
her natural environment and provided
such an entertainment yesterday all
that could be heard were consoling little
murmlrs and feminine cries of SYM
pathy.
Y lIThatpne attempt to allow her wheel
eRrapped feet to glide DER the floor
with nS one to assist her was enough
fF the Burbank premier, and during
tie resl of the afternoon she relied upon
ether one or the other of those who
eforted her to keep her away from
n maple. With little more practice
MS Hall promises to develop into a
slter of merit.
yesterday the spectators at Morley's
dded their attention between the
sge folk and members of the younger
X sal set, who turned out in force to
by themselves. One of the largest
hday afternoon crowds of the season
out to partake of the sport, and
skaters were everywhere in evil
zee.
