GIRL in
THRILLING RIDE
RIDES BEHIND RUNAWAY HORSE
AND LATER is SAVED FROM
DROWNING.

A telegraphic dispatch from San
Rafael says: Hurled from runaway
rig into the Lagunitas creek and
escaping their peril on land only to
be threatened by drowning in the
water, was the exciting experience OF
Miss Dorothy Sheldon and Roswell
Miller yesterday evening. Miss Shell
don, who is we'll known society girl
of Tonopah and the daughter of H. F.
Sheldon, broker of that place, was
visiting her sister in San Anselmo
when young Miller called to take her
driving. Miller is the son of H. B.
M. Miller, prominent attorney of
San Francisco, and is also an athlete
of note in the Lowell high school.
The young couple enjoyed their
drive without mishap until they
reached Lagunitas on their return
home, when the horse which Miller
was driving became frightened at a
rabbit running across the road and
broke into gallop. The road in that
district is very narrow and danger
Gus, and as the horse increased his
speed Miller guided him with the ut
most difficulty However, for over a
mile he managed to keep the fren-
Zied steed in the roadway, straining
at the reins with all his strength,
while Miss Sheldon chung to the seat,
pale with terror.
Finally they approached a down
grade, when the pace of the runaway
animal became so great that the light
rubber-tired buggy behind him
bounced from side to side in man.

begged Miller to hold to the lines fol
a moment longer, until they reached
a place where the roadway borders
the Lagunitas creek.
| I'VE must turn into that creek; II
is our only chance" whispered the
white-faced girl. AS they reached the
bank Miller frightened his grip on tn,
lines, and suddenly, with a sharp pull
to the left, swung the horse into tn,
stream. There was a splash, a scream
from Miss Sheldon and then a mo

1t was only a short swim to shore
and Miller who has record as

ease, despite the fact that both wer

 NO man is a liner unless the line of the school district runs through his dwelling house. The fact that a man has land on both sides of the line does not make him liner.

Page of the state Democratic Central Com mittee has received no answers from the chair men or secretar- ies of any of the county organi- cations of the Seventh c.ngres- sional district in response to letters which were sent last week by John H.

Good win, of Warren, candidate, for congressman from the Sev- enth congressional district at the recent Democratic primary who charges that his opponent Minor Wallace. was given the cer. tlflcate of nomination before the vote in some of the counties of the district were officially can vassed. Mr. Rutherford asked that the chairman or secretary ol each county organization send Tn the returns of his county in order that a committee might recount the votes. The fact that no returns have been received as yet IS not considered of unusual importance at present, however as the letters were sent out only n leW days ago Chairman rutherford asked that the tally sheets be sent to the secretary o' the committee by May 26.

 Details of the tragedy are meagre. The boat left Clarendon early in the evening bearing a merry party who had planned to go several miles down the river.
 But five miles below Clarendon the boiler of the launch explod- ed with terrific effect, wrecking the boat and hurling the occup- ants into the river, which at this point, more than fifty feet from shore, Is very deep. SurvlvOrS can give no account of what fol lowed. Few could swim and some were stunned by the force of the explosion and went down before swimmers in the party could make an effort at rescue.
 It was two hours after the tra- gedy before it was known here. Parents of the young people be- came uneasy because of their prolonged absence and runners were sent down the river in hopes of locating them. They re- turned with the news of the ter rible catastrophe.

is the invention of a Pittsburg man
and ie intended to not only save
time but labor, and if successful
will doubtless supplant many of
the slower operating cars in use at
the present time.
The trap of the new car is larger
than that of the cars now in use, the
sides of the car are more perpendic-
ular and the dumping of the car
can be accomplished with less man
ual labor than in the old-style car.
During the heavy ha uling periods
oflast year upwards of 200Ocars were
dumped in one day at the Missabe
docks. 1t is said that if the present
car comes up to the expectations of
it's inventor, it will be possible to
beat this figure and also do it with
less labor. The result of the test
will be watched with interest by ore
