In the northwestern section a heavy snow is fall- ing at this unusual time of the year and in the Eastern cities the heat is so intense that some persons have al- ready succumbed. The ex- tremely hot weather in Cali- fornia has been attended by wonderfully strong winds in the region around Yolo, Sacramento and San Joa- quin, and also by field fires. These fires have swept over a considerable number of acres and have also de- stroyed some barns. The floods in Texas continue to cause alarm and much val- uable property has been de- stroyed. o+ timbers for some distance down the shaft. How the fire originated is a mystery, as the men had all been given a holiday till after the Fourth and were in this city at the time. The loss falls heavily on the | owner, J. J.

Yanashita of 504 Dupont street, San Francisco, was run over by the 11 o'clock narrow-gauge train to-night at Eleventh and Webster streets and re- cefved injuries which will probably prove fatal. No one saw the accident occur, but the shriek of the man as the train passed over him caught the ear of a brakeman and the train was stopped. Both legs of the Japanese had been taken off at the knees and it {s thought that his skull is fractured. The police patrol was summoned and he was removed to the Receiving Hospltal. It is supposed that he came to Oakland io see the street fair. He must have walked in front of the train or attempted to board it as it was moving and fell between the wheels. The cnb!o Laying Illustrated. The historic scénes of the laying of the Mackay cable from San Franciscq to Manlla have been depicted by the Wasp in a special number, which is on sale by all newsdealers.

Ja A deal ANTA CRUZ, July 3.—The sky is overhung with smoke from forest fires that are raging in the moun- tains and cinders are falling in this city. The fire started at Zayante and followed the ridge for eight miles. It now extends through the Laurel and Glenwood region and the flames are licking up the valuable timber of that section. After hard work the fire-fighters managed to save the vineyards and orchards along its course. A portion of the Waterman vineyard at Laurel was destroyed, however, as was also a part of the orchard. The summer home of Mrs. Louis Hihn at Laurel was saved after a hard battle. Fire is now raging in the vicinity of the Hihn sawmill at Laurel and the entire mill crew, assisted by citizens from Santa Cruz, are fighting to save the property. It is believed to-night that the fire is un- der control. The narrow-gauge train had to pass thrbugh the fire at several places and the pessengers had a grand view of the flames making their way along the ridge. Two cottages belonging to J. J. Bamber of Skyland were burned and the fire reached within fifty Redwood, one of the most popular of the mountain resorts. It also approached French’s mill on Soquel Creek, but was checked. Another big fire is raging between Lex- ington and Alma. Anogher fire is within two miles of this city and within half a mile of the powder works. The men from the powder works and Cowell's lime kilns are engaged fighting it. At one time the flames were ,within 100 feet of the soda magazine of the powder works. 4 S Private Residences Are Burned.
