WOMEN INJURED
IN A COLLISION
BUGGIES COME TOGETHER
WITH CRASH
Fractious Horse SWerves Sharply and
Occupants of Carriage Thrown to
Street-Unldentifie Man
Drives Away

slight pull on the wrong rein of a
fractious horse nearly cost Mrs. NJ. C.
Brown of 1883 West Twenty-fourth
street and Mrs. j. T. Steward of 1867
West Adams street their lives yesterday
afternoon.
The two women were driving west on
Eighth street, and as they started to
turn into Olive, Mrs. Steward, who was
driving, saw another buggy turning
: into Eighth street from olive. She
turned into Olive on the left side of
tne other buggy, and in some manner
which she could not explain she pulled
her horse's head so that there was a
collision between the two buggies. Both
women were thrown to the ground and
dragged thirty feet before the fright
ened animal could be stopped.
MRS. Sheward was the more seriously
injured, as her collar bone was broken
and her shoulder dislocated. She was
also cut about the face and severely
bruised about the body. Mrs. Brown
sustained deep cut upon the fore
mead and was apparently injured inter-
nally, as she had a hemorrhage shortly
after the accident.
Before any member of the police
force arrived on the scene the man
who was driving the buggy with which
the rig of the two women collided
hurried away and did not give his
name. He was described by several
witnesses as a SMALL elderly man with
gray mustache. He was driving a bay
horse attached to a bottle green stan
hope. 1t was stated that the man was
not at all at fault, for he was on the
right side of the street and was not
driving rapidly.
Late last evening it was reported that
both the injured women were resting
easily and that there was no doubt
of their recovery.

DEPOT PLANS WERE BURNED
Hence Fifth Street Residents Believe
Southern Pacific Will Grant
PassaueWav

The excuse of the Southern Pacific
for refusing to place passageway for
pedestrians in the new depot at Fifth
street and Central avenue, that no
such passage is provided in the plans,
Is liable to prove futile, as it is be-
lieved the plans for the new depot.

In the San Francisco fire. The general
offices of the Southern Pacific were in
the Merchants Exchange building, and
this building suffered serious damage
from fire.
In case it is found necessary to re-
draw these elaborate plans it is prob
able the passageway will be put in,
according to the opinion of Southern
Pacific representative In Los Angeles.
The residents of Fifth street living
east of Alameda have demanded this
passage in consideration of their not
protesting the abandonment of Fifth
street to Central avenue, and the board
of public works has warmly seconded
them.

OWENS CONDUIT SYSTEM
READY FOR INSPECTION
ENGINEERS TO VIEW PROGRESS
NEXT MONTH
Surveying Is Practically Complete,
While Men Are Constructing the
Conduit Below the First Intake at
Charley's Butte

The work on the Owens river con-
duit system is now advanced to the
point where the water board believes
an inspection by board Of conpetent
engineers to be desirable.
The water department is in communi-
cation with twenty men, engineers of
recognized standing the world over,
and expects soon to have board COM
posed OF a. number of the best exnerts
in the country. Several have ALREADY
signlfied their willingness to act on
this board, while two or three whom
the water department had hoped to
acquire have refused' pleading other
business as their excuse.
While not a great deal of the actual
construction has been done, the lines
of the conduit have been definitely es-
tabshed and every engineering phase
of the work has been carefully gone
over.
1t is planned to have the board OF
engineers make an inspection trip in
June and another in early October
when the water in the Owens valley is
at its lowest ebb.
Fred Eaton will make another trim
into the valley the latter part of this
week, and make the preliminary ar
rangements for the engineer who will
follow next month. The work OF sur
veying is practically completed and
men are working on the conduit itself

Little Anoka County Girl Is Saved

Special to The Journal.
Anoka, Mimi, May 3.--Crows futter-

from this city and the surrounding
country to the spot where the daughter,
but 31a years old. Of Henry Pehling,
who lives near Round lake, had spent
the night and was lying in q stupor.
The ill-omened birds seemed to be gath
ering for feast upon the delicate
flesh of the little girl.
The child wandered away some time
yesterday and the father conducted a
search as best he could until O'Clock
this morning. Then, feeling that his
child had probably persisted, he came
to Anoka and aroused the officials.
The. search was. then taken up by
the sheriff, chief Of police, the county
attorney and county auditors who hur-
riedly drove to the lake and, bright
and early this morning, found the child
lying on the ground with the uncanny
birds flying about. her and making their
dismal calls, s.
Rain which came thru the night fell
upon the little girl and she was
drenched to the skin. However, she
soon recovered and called for he1

restful sleep. Despite her fearful ex

BORED 700 FEET
TO ROB ARSENAL
Daring Plot Of Revolutionists in
Baku, Caucasia, Is Discov-

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
Baku, Caucasia, April ia daring
plot of Armenian revolutionists to rob
the magazine in the arsenal here,
guarded by the Salivansk regiment and
containing over million rifle cart
ridges, was accidentally discovered
when the conspirators were on the
verge Of success.
They bored tunnel 700 feet long in
the direction of the arsenal It was one
Of the most pretentious examples OF
subterranean work in revolutionary
annals since the days Of the terrorists
Of the eighties. From the basement OF
an Armenian house the revolutionists
worked their way under several inter
vening residences at a depth Of twenty
feet. They constructed completely
sided tunnel, rooted it with planks and
provided it with electric lights and an
electric bell service, connected with the
stations Of the several revolutionists
on watch.
Owing to slight miscalculation, the
tunnelers, in burrowing upward, en-
tered not the magazine, but an adJoin.
ing storeroom in the arsenal, contain.
ing uniforms. Before they had time to
rectify their mistake, the revolution
lists were accidentally discovered by ar
officer, the alarm was given and a cor.
don Of troops was Immediately thrown
around the adjoining houses.
Owing to the length Of the tunnel
the Armenian house from which the
conspirators started was not sur
rounded, and they had ample time to
escape. The entrance of the tunnel
was eventually discovered by volun
teers, who entered it from the store
room and traced the subterranean pas
sage to it's source.
