ARE SHiPWRECKED ON
THE COLORADO RIVER
MARINERS NEARLY PERISH ON
DESERT
Walk Two Days Without Food or
Shoes Over Rugged Wastes to
Mining Camp-Exhausted
from Hardships
[Snecial to The Herald.l ]

SAN BERNARDINO, Oct. 23.-Ship-
wrecked on the Colorado river and
wandering for two days without food
on the rugged desert regions bordering
the river, Capt. e. Nelson and his mate,
Max Bley, have just reached the min
ing camp at Eldorado with the tale of
their terrible experience.
With a cargo on their small river
boat, the two men left Riverside ranch
for Homestake mine, and while battling
against a terrific north wind and a
swift current the ship was dashed
against a half submerged rock and cap
sized. Nelson and Bley managed to
reach the shore after a hard fight in
the current which swept them for a
long distance down stream before they
We're able to pull themselves exhausted
on to the rugged bank.
AS is the custom of the river
mariners, neither men was wearing
shoes at the time the boat sank, and,
stranded on the bleak shore without
food and little clothing, they nearly
perished Aefore reaching the mining
camp. They used their underclothing to
protect their feet in the long walk over
the rugged desert country.
The cold winds sweeping off the river
and the lack of food made the men
physical wrecks, and it will be days
before they recover from their hard
ships in their search for help.

TWO PERSONS HURT
AT MARKED CORNER
MAN AND WOMAN INJURED AT
HUDSON AND COLORADO
Edward cotter and Miss Laura Deery
Thrown from Cars at Same
Place Within Short
Time
Especial to The Herald


PASADENA, Oct. 29.-Two serious
accidents in which victims fell from
street cars this evening at Hudson ave-
nue. and Colorado street, following
only a few days after the collision at
the same corner in which a Cadillac
touring car was reduced to kindling
and scrapiron, have given the corner a
Jonah reputation. One of tonight's vic
TINS is not seriously hurt, while the
other may not recover.
Miss Laura Deery is the name given
by the second victim, but she was so
dazed that she could not give her ad-
dress, and the physicians worked for
hours without learning her identity
She is a woman past middle age, and 1t
is believed that she is a comparative
newcomer here, but nothing could be
learned from her other than her name.
Her case is said to be very serious.
DR.. F. F. Rowland, the Pacific Elec-
tric surgeon, was called to the first ac-
cident shortly after o'clock to attend
Edward Cotter, man of 67 years, who
alighted from the car at Hudson ave-
nue. while it was still going rapidly
and was thrown to the pavement with
considerable force. He also is a new
conner. He was assisted to his home
at 739 Herkimer street, where his in
juries were treated. They included a
deep cash over the left eye and badly
bruised brow and cheek, but no serious
injuries.
Returning to the corner where the
accident occurred, DR.. Rowland found
that Miss Deery had just fallen from a
moving car. No evidences Of fractured
skull could be found, but the woman
was plainly out of her head, and COM
planned of terrible pains shooting
through her brain. She could only tell
her name, and she was removed to the
Pacific Electric emergency hospital
under the care of DR.. ]. E. James. Be
cause nothing could be learned as TO
her address she was removed to the
Pasadena hospital, where she remained
only short time when she was re-
moved to a boarding house, still un-
Scious.
