The Injured.

Mrs. McCauley, both arms broken.
Miss Ethel Mccormick, shoulders
sprained.
The party had been on a visit to the
home of Prince Poniatowski, and was
returning to San Mateo, where both
families have their summer homes.
Coming down a steep grade near Crys-
tai Lake, Miss Ethel Mccormick, who
was at the wheel, endeavored to check
the speed of the car by applying the
foot rake. 1t failed to hold the auto
mobile, and Miss Mccormick hastily
threw on the emergency brakes. They
snapped almost instantly.
Fearing that she could not guide the
huge car in safety to the bottom OF the
grade on account of the sharp turns
in the road, the young woman endeaV-
ored to steer it against the high bank
on the right, believing that the friction
on the wheels would bring 1t to a stop.
The front wheel, however, struck a
large rock, swerved sharply to the left,
and the next the car plunged
down the steep embankment, striking
thirty-five feet below against a large
tree. So terrific was the force with
which the automobile struck the tree
that the occupants were shot out of the
car as from a eatapult, landing on an
other road twenty-five feet below.
Mrs. Mccormick, her daughter, Clara,
and infant son of Mrs. O'Brien struck
on their heads and We're instantly
killed. Mrs. Ira O'Brien and her three
year-old son, Ira, died three hours later
in the Red Cross Hospital at San
Mateo.
Mrs. Mccormick was the wife of
Thomas A. Mccormick, president of the
Mccormick Iron Works, of San Fran
cisco, and Mrs. O'Brien's husband is the
proprietor of the Keystone Manufac-
turing Works. Both families are promi-
nent in society circles.

 Miller reports Fairbanks as unusually quiet, but says there will be moro ac- tivity later in the season. There is much more snow in that part of the country than in. this vicinity, and freight is being. moved rapidly to all the creeks.
 He reports 8 large number of people .as talking of coming to this district as soon as the trails are better in this di' rection. He says that J. A. Chute wifi be passenger on the stage that should arrive here tomorrow night. This dis. trict, he declares, is very much talked about in the upper city, and there will no doubt be many men with money here during the winter.

 WINS OUT

San Francisco, Nov. 27.-Last night in one of the fastest fights ever witnessed in this city, Kid Ketchell won from Papke in the eleventh round, putting the boy to sleep with a straight left to the jaw.
 The fight was fast tnd furious from the start and the result was in doubt up to the ninth round when the superiority of the Kid began to be apparent and his vic tory was seen to be the matter of only several rounds at the most.
 Both fighters scored several knockdowns and in the fourth Papke put Ketchell to the floor twice, the latter taking the count both times. In both cases, how ever, he came up fresh and ap- parently did not suffer any dam age from the hard blows.
 In the last round Ketchell put Papke to the mat twice in sue cession, but each time the game little fellow came to his feet look ing for more. The third time, Ketchell sent in a straight left to the jaw, the impact of which could be heard over the entire house, and which effectaully put Papke to sleep.
