HACK ROLLS OVER ON CANYON EDGE BOYLE HEIGHTS MINISTER IN ACCIDENT While Returning From a Funeral Hit Carriage la Hurled Down La Cretta Arroyo Crashing- down the «tec.;> grade of La f'resta Arroyo, which bnrriern thf» ap proach to the Fourth street brldK<\ a carriage containing Ilev. Joseph Bnr roii, pastor of St. Mary's church, Boyle Heights, nnd two boys rolled over and over Monday morning. Before the bottom of the ravine hnrl been reached the carriage came to a otop and the occupants, dazed but with out a scratch, crawled through an up turned window. The marvelous escape probnhly was due to the fact that the struggling horses, after turning over three times, were freed when the tongue and tugs camp loose from the vehicle. As the animals went bound ing to the bottom of the canyon In a mass of tar.Rled hnrness the occupants Of the carriage gathered themselves from the wreckage several yards above. Al Harder, the driver, sustained sev eral bruises, but otherwise he was un hurt. Accompanied by two young .boys, Emmet Matthews and Bruno Bonaclno, Father Barron was returning from a funeral service at New Calvary ceme tery when the accident occurred. From Fourth street the bridge cannot bo seen, nnd not ur.tll vehicles aro almost precipitated over the embankment dors the culvert appear. Driver Harder, traveling at a fairly rapid rate, came upon the grade and was unable to check his team before It plunged over the steep sides. The hack, of regulation build, wns arranged that the tongue came loose under rough usage and left the carriage free, otherwise serious In- Jury, if not loss of life, would have re sulted, as the carriage practically was demolished before the maddened ani mals went hurling to the bottom. Monday's accident Is not the first which has occurred at the brldpe, and wonder is expressed that loss of life has not marked tho several mlshnps which have taken place because of tho miser able approach. Instead of leading directly to the bridge, the road drops suddenly to the canyon side, where the utmost caution Is necessary to avoid accident. Travelers over the thoroughfare) fre quently have complained of the unsafe condition, but thus far nothing has been clone to better the menacing situa tion. Society Complimentary Luncheon Mrs. W. H.

The four standing committee.! which were Instructed two weeks ago to collect cer tain special Information nnd data have reported that It will be Impossible for them to complete their work by next Friday night, and consequently the meeting of the commission has been postponed for nni thcr week.

The committees at work are those on boundaries, annexa tion apd Interim, harbor and law, Home of these have held one or two meeting", but in tho case of others the chairmen sny It hns so far been Impossible to got the members together. The questions to bo decided arc highly Important, and It has boon deemed ndvisnblo not to call the members of the commission to gether again until the committees are able tn report something like definite progress.
