THE SAN FRANCISCO PREVENT THE FOREST FIRES BY CALL, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 9] =3, 1904. DESTROYING DEBRIS I fl)zd Should Be Carefully Burnt Over Where Not Kept Clean by Livestock HIS forceful plea for the prevention of forest fires is made by Joaquin Miller. The veteran of the woods tells his own experience in start- a yoting forest, which he has saved from destruc- tion by burning the dry grass and undergrowth. | This was the method of the Indians in the old days, he declares, and to it California owes her great for- ests of to-day. It must be followed wherever live- stock fails to keep down the grass, which the care- less hunter is ever ready to set on fire. { ove: '|HF WOODS, WHO DIs ARKCWSMITH | PHOTO | 3.

Harding, hackman, and much dis- 1fort and suffering to Mrs. M. ,\Al r and M Daisy Easton morning at 3:30 o'clock. day Bair of Mrs. and Miss Easton are at the home | the former, 3 Tenth avenue, ng at his room, s experience, but not very badly | aged. | One of the horkes was killed in the collision and it is a marvel that the two women and the driver were not | killed outright or maimed for life. Harding_was the most seriously in- jured. He suffers from contusions of | the back and hip. He was treated | at the Park Hospital and subsequently removed to home. ~Mrs. Bair and | During Saturday evening Mrs. Bair and 3 Easton had dined at a downtown restaurant and after mid- night the men oif their party sum- moned a coupe from the United Car- ringe Company to take the ladies hoine, as it was raining heavily. Driver Charles Harding turned down H street toward Ninth avenue and his vehicle made poor progress over the which has recently h:\en torn up. When he reached and H street an electric car overtook him and, according to the offi the United Railroads, he turned sud- denly in front of the car, which was mo g at a rapnid rate. In an instant coupe, horses, passen- car were mixed in indescrib- able confusion. Harding was thrown from his seat; he struck on his side some distance ahead of the wreck. | Miss Easton and Mrs. Bair saw their danger and attempted to get out of the coupe just before the collision oc- curred, but they moved too , slowly. Miss Haston was thrown under the coupe and the debris of the wreck was piled about her. She had a re- markable escape. Mrs. Bair was caught in the coupe, thrown violently against the side of the vehicle and bruised and cut about the head and hands. No one was injured on the car. The horse that was killed was struck down in front of the car and caught in such a menner as to have his feet under the forward wheels and his body crushed by the fore end of the conveyance. Harding was removed to the Park H®spital, where -his injuries were treated. The frightened and bruisd women were sent home in a hack. The United Railroads officials say that it was an unusual route that Harding chose when he drove to the & homer of Mrs. Bair and that owing to his driving into the unpaved street, hampered by sand and unable to see his way was clearly, he got his team across the track when the electric car was not in a position to stop quickly. —_——————— / Memorial Services Impressive.
