Tomales notes
Our village was thrown into excitement this morning by a runaway team owned by Mr. John Alexander, living southeast of Tomales. He was thrown to the ground with so much force as to inflict quite a severe wound on his head. The horse, taking the north road, passed over the hill, and coming to so short a curve in the road were unable to make it, and consequently plunged down the bank, through the fence, and landed in the field below, where a general smash-up followed.
