At about 2 o'clock on the afternoon of December 24th a car driven by H. Blucher of Sacramonto rammed into one of the signals at the crossing on the Elmira road and knocked it from its base, putting it out of order. A train was standing on the tracks further down the line, and the signal was in operation, Blicher evidently had not noticed that a car had stopped at the crossing, and be- fore he knew it. he was immediately behind the stopped oar, and had to take the alternative of ramming the cupants of the car were uninjured.
