BAUMGARDNERS
LOSE LAST BOY
BY ACCIDENT

The many friends and acquaiht-
ances of William Baumgardner and
family, formerly old and esteemed
residents of this city and well-known
throughout the valley. will be panied
to learn that once again has death
entered his family circle and taken
from it another child. the last one.
Some time ago one of the children
died and on the third day of this
month the second. Warren, was killed
by being run over on the streets OF
San Diego, Calf, where the family
has been located nearly ever since
they sold their place to A. c. Newton.
The story of the unfortunate acci-
dent is told in the issue of the San
Diego Sun of Nov. 4, as follows:
Yesterday the cozy little home of
William Baumgardner, at 900 Brooks
Avenue, was happy and all therein
were content Today it is house of
sorrow. Hearts came near breaking
late Thursday afternoon when the
news came home that little Warren,
10 years of age. and pride of the
happy household. had been crushed
to death beneath wagons wheels.
1T happened on Fifth street, at
rier. was speeding rapidly south down
the hill. on his bicycle. With him
was Vane King. of 1899 First street.
"On the seat of heavy dirt wagon,
driving a strong team of horses was
Mike O'Morrow, teamster. He had
Just turned west and was crossing the
car tracks toward Fir. Swerving his
wheel to the east side of Fifth street.
King avoided the wagon. but half a
block down the street he looked back
and saw his friend beneath the wagon
wheels.
Few witnessed the accident. Those
who did see it, say that the boys

track. when he went to turn out, and
threw him directly under the wagon
wheels His head was caught be-
meath one wheel and he was dragged
nearly 30 feet. before the team could
be stopped. Death was probably a
matter of few seconds.
Strong arms carried the crushed
and bleeding form into the Park gar
age, and tried to minister to him. II
was too late The spirit of the little
carrier had fled 1t remained for the
mother the worst news they will prob
ably ever have to hear.
Warren was a bright little chap
he vas industrious and gentlemanly
popular among his little friends
and the grown people who knew him

Hardness letter TO the above effect
was published on the sixth of June.
From this date a real excitement
in regard 10 the comet became mani
fest. The public having learned that
a comet actually was approaching the
earth, and that although II might be
composed of nothing more weighty
than gas, II was nevertheless a celes-
tial flreship that might prove a most
undesirable neighbor, Immediately
began TO repent OF its disbelief in NJ
Plantamour Still the press, with the
exception of the Herald, persisted In
its refusal 10 believe In Plantamour's
existence, and treated the appearance
OF the comet of 1861 as a mere coincl-
dencs
Within a fortnight after the appear
aace of Prof. Hardness letter, a com
munication was sent 10 the London
Times by Prof Huxley. who stated
that he had personally known Prof.
Plantamour for many years. and that
he was man of eminent scientific
attachments The distinguished
French astronomer lie Verrier also
wrote 10 the Paris Steele, speaking
In the highest terms OF his old friend
Plantamour-though both Huxley and
lie Verrier placed no faith in the
prediction of the coming collision. The
public however. had now learned
enough TO change its opinion with
characteristic rapidity. Plantamour
was really living astronomer, ana
fiery comet was in telescope sighy
These two facts were sufficient a
belief in the approaching collision be-
came universal Nevertheless there
was 10 very active alarm on the sub
ject. People were anxious TO believe
that the comet would really do no
damage. and that at the worst the
only effect of a collision would be to
somewhat increase the temperature
OF August.
This was the state OF feeling up to
nearly the middle Of June when &
new discovery was made. Prof Hank
ness announced that he had ascertain
ed from the spectroscope that the
comet had nucleus, and il soon be
came sufficiently visible 10 demon
strate that no stars could be seen
through its nucleus. 1t being thus
settled that il was. to some extent
solid body. 1t only remained TO test
the accuracy OF Plantamour's calcula-
lions as 10 its orbit. So profound had
become the public interest in the mat
ter that the Importance of at once
allaying the excitement by a mathe
NAUTICAL demonstration Of the impos
sibility of collision was apparent
The signal service bureau therefore
appointed commission OF savants to
make report upon the true path OF
the comet.
This commission was appointed on
the sixteenth of June, and their re-
port was presented on the twentieth.
Unfortunately 1t settled nothing The
commissioners. who were eight in
number, were divided -Four held that
the comet had clearly been turned
from it's former orbit by the attrac

ton of some distant planetary body
probably the moons OF Jupiter, AMI
that IL would therefore pass no near
er than about so, 100000 miles. The
remaining four commissioners, on the
contrary, decided that Nj. Planla'
mour's calculations were entirely ac'
curate. and that the comet would
strike the earth in August. They
nevertheless argued that the collision
would not produce any result mora
important than that caused by the
fall OF rather large meteoric stone.
The substance of the comet would nc

alarm, and the comet became the

visible TO the naked eve. and from

knowledge affected TO sheer at them as
harmless. Up to the first of June,
1872. no one felt any uneasiness on
the subject OF the coming comet, and
few believed that the story had any
foundation in truth.
Early In June, however. one Of
those respectable old gentlemen who
write important letters signed "A Con
slant Reader" "A Father of a Fam
lily" ETC. to the daily papers. saw in
an obscure report OF the Smithsonian
institute a mention of the result OF n
spectroscopic examination of the
comet Of the year 1861. which, the re-
port alleged, was again visible. The
old gentleman. who was, perhaps,
secretly nervous in regard TO the
Plantamour prophecy. instantly wrote
letter to the Herald, calling atten-
ton to this report, and asking If the
comet therein mentioned was the one
referred TO by Plantamour The Her
aid at once took the matter up edi-
torially, and discussed 1t in an article
of over column in length, profusely
strewn with references to Romulus
and Remus the siege OF Troy, the
OF Grant for reelection. and
other kindred matters. The result
was that Prof. Hardness of the Smith
sonian institute felt called upon TO
make some explanation. The great
comet OF 1861 was certainly visible
through the telescope he admitted.

ion, from close study of its spec
