L.OS ANGELES, Dec. 10.—Dan Barry, of 3 stown, Ohio, was bumped over tne railroad from Burbank to Los Angeles this morning under the Owl train, think- ing that every moment would be his last. Barry formerly worked In Los Angelas. The idea took him while In Oakland last night to take fortune by the forelock and et back to his old job. Not having much | money in his possession, Barry decided to beat his way to Los Angeles by the brakebeam route. He stealthily crawled under the limited train in Oakland and took his place on the brakebeam for an all night ride. Everything went well until the train ar- rived at Burbank. Barry had counted fourteen stops but none of the train men had chanced to se e passenger under the car. He had $13 in casn upon his and it was his intention to get off 18t stop outside of Los v his fare to town, in At Burbank tho tant. There was to alight, he thought, and he scramble cantiously down from But the train started before i avold ar train stopped for an i1 his time he could crawl between the wheels. Had he been an instant sooner his body would have been cut in two by the revolvin: 3 As it was, it was with the utmost, that he threw his feet over the ebeam and caught a convenient rod ith one hand. Suspended in the air an just grazing the ties, ne felt ever: 1 tion of the wheels, His body wa ved with violence against the projecting and twice his hands came into contact with the flanges of the trucks. Shrieking in desperation, Barry tried in vain to make known to those on board his dread- ful_position. Tventy-one years of age and athletic, he held on with grim determination, de- spite the terrible bumps received as the cars rounded the curves and sped across ity the eleven miles that separated the c from the last stopping place. He was | shockingly bruised across his back and arms and over his eyes. Even his shoes xmadwuy, and his clothing was torn into shreds. Bruised, bleeding and half-consclous, the quivering man held on. e train men pulled him out, almost dead and gasping for breath at Kiver station. Bar- ry was taken to the Receiving Hoepital where he related his experience. By nl direction, a message was Sent to a young , whom he had hoped to meet under more favorable circumstances. Miss Ma; C. Housell quickly responded to the Y{. and accompanied him to the County Hos- pital. He will be cut in about a week if no dangerous symptoms set in. TWO LIVES LOST IN THE RUSH FOR GOLD Dawson Miners Frozen to Death on the Trail to the Tanana Diggings. VICTORIA, Dec. 10.—The stampede to the gold fields of the Tanana has been productive of another tragedy, according to advices brought by the steamer Dan- ube. Telegraphic reports from Dawson under date of November 30 give a story of the finding of the bodles of Henry Ganbe, a well-known Dawsonite, and an- other miner who started with him from Dawson to foin the vanguard of the stam- eders to Tanana. As they were urrying along between Circle C}i!y and Tanana they came u%mn the bodies of the two men huddied up in the drifts of snow, thelr dogs dead beside them. The bodies were frozen stiff, plainly indicating how death had come to them.” The miners who found the unfortunates loaded the re- mains on sleds and took them back to Circle City, where they were given burial, Ganbe and his partner, whose name could not be learned, started from, Daw- | son scarcely a month previously." They were among the first to join the rush from the Klondike capital fo Tanana. It was reported at Circle City that a heavy blizzard had raged two days prior to the finding of the bodles and it is thought that the unfortunate men were caught in this storm.

Bl i Spectal Dispatch to The Call SUISUN, Dec. 10. — Howard Morris walked into Peter A. Finne's O K saloon on Main street just before midnight last night, leveled a shotgun at the pro- prietor, who was standing behind the bar, and pulled both triggers. The first charge lodged In a beer chest and the second in Finne's left arm, inflicting a serious wound. Night Watchman D. C. McDonald at- tempted to arrest Morris. The would-be assassin exclaimed: “Don’t come near me; you can't take me. I've got another load In the gun.” McDonald, however, walked up and took the gun from Morris. It appears that after Morris had fired twice at Finne he walked across the street, reloaded the gun and again dis- charged both barrels. Judging from a powder stain on his forehead and the wrecked condition of his hat, Morris either attempted suicide or wished to ere- ate the impression that he was mentally deranged.
