This afternoon about L: 10 Coz.
Charles L. FORBES. wniie crossing the
street in front OF the Dickinson Lum-
Der yard was run down by an auto
mobile driven by Frosty Johnson. l'
seems that Col. ForDes was tryins
to get out of the way of motorey
Gle and in so doing stepped right IN
to the path of the automobile. He
was carried to the Lamar Drug CO
store where his wounds were dressed
by Drs. Bartlett and Gullick. His
injuries consist of badly lacerated
nand, a sprained back and deep
cash in the forehead. Those who wi
messed the accident say that it was
unavoidable. and that 1t was not the
fault of either Johnson or the in
jured man. Col. Forbes is an old
G. A. R. man and is about 6S years
of age. He has had a position in
the Land Office for the last two
years.

You think you have fine quality.
Get 1t ready-feed and curry and

RAN TRAIN
OVER BRIDGE
Heroism Of. Santa Fe Engineer
Saves a Hundred Lives
in A WESTERN FLOOD
He Sticks to His comotive-Firtman
Jumped from Cab as Structure Across
the Swollen Stream Began
to Sag.

Los Angeles, Cal, Feb. s.--one hun.
bred lives hung in the balance for the
fraction of second last night while
Engineer w. Baldwin OF Santa Fe
train hesitSted as to whether he should
stl'ov his fireman's example and jump
or stick by his engine and pilot ii over
the fast settling bridge at Avenue IS
and the Arroyo Seco.
The Arroyo was raging torrent from
the heavy story. The water cut under
the concrete piling of the bridge and II
began to sag. Then came the train OF
five cars, slipping down grade from
Pasadena. Several hundred persons
wc1 ont watching the stream, and
when they saw the train coming they
attempted to warn il.
Engineer Baldwin saw the danger,
but MS he was unable TO stop the train
before it was on the bridge, he opened
the throttle and let the engine run
across. Had he hit the bridge at high
speed, cars and passengers would have
gone into the roaring water,
Later the first section OF the inbound
Los Angeles limited was halted Just
north of the damaged bridge and the
passengers found their way into the
city on electric cars. The second sec.
ton was sent around by way of River
side.
Meanwhile, fed by heavy rains from
mountains and foothills, the Arroyo
seeo is tearing away all Instructions
to its course. -Four bridges, numberlsss
fences, outhouses, and buildings, doz-
en- bulkheads, and heavy mattresses
have been swept away.
The main line and Glendale branch
bridges on the Salt Lake route, the big
steel and concrete bridge on the main
line Of the Santa Fe. and the Pasadena
avenue bridge of the Pacific Electric
line were washed out last night, al.
though the latter, held by It's cantilever
trusses, is still passable by light cars
On the city bridges at Avenues &c
and 4s and the bug bridge at Pasadena
avenue danger signals are posted to
prevent the passage Of vehicles.

COMMERCE COMMISSION WINS.
The New York Central Injunction Suit
Denied.

New York, Feb. 9.--The application of
the New York Central & Hudson River
Railway company for an injunction re-
straining the interstate commerce COM
mission from enforcing its order 1egu-
lating the rates for shipment OF grain
and -four on that road, was denied yes
terday by the United States circuit
court. The proceedings which resulted
in the issuance of the order by the inter
state commerce commission, was insti-
tuted by the Heclqar Jonss-Jewel MIL
ing company, and the order was issued
on June "a, 1908.
The order which the New York Cen
trail sought to have enjoined required
carriers to cease before Sept. l, 1908,
from according to flour mills ct interior
points for export a lower vate for trans
portation than was imposed upon the
grain of the complainant, which is sub
sequently exported.
Refusing the application, Judge Noyes
in the prevailing opinion says: THE
interstate commerce commission is an
administrative tribunal dealing with
practical problems. So long as parties
affected by it's roders appear and are
fully heard we think il would be most
unfortunate to deny its power to grant
such relief as the facts shown upon
the investigation should call for, even
though such facts might be presented
by evidence technically outside the is
sues raised" Judge Ward in the dis
senting opinion says the order tran
sends the power of the commission.

When once the basic material needs

is impossible to develop high aver
