That was at a time when certain par-" ties were thinking of building a narrow gauge railroad over the mountains. As a boy, Judge Hart man, now one of Boulder Creek's most prominent citizens, herded a flock of sheep on Mission hill, now the choice resident section of this city. Young Hartman's folks had a small dairy herd and one of the chores delegated to the Hon was to deliver to the doors of several citizens small buckets of milk. Among the regular milk customers were the A. P.

Swan- ton family. There was a smalf irecKied-raced, barefoot hoy in this family named Fred who barefoot In the summer time' and knew the agonies of stone bruises and stubbed toes. Fred grew up and became mayor of Santa Cruz. One of the boys of those days was Enoch Alzina, who delivered or ders for a grocery store at Pacific avenue and Mission street. Judge Hartman tells us the biggest thrill of his life was when he witnessed a runaway of six horses attached to two wagons.

The teamster had stopped at the corner of Soquel avenue and Pacific avenue to refresh himself with a big five-cent schooner at a thirst emporium then located on that corner. The frightened team of horses ran up Pacific avenue as far as Mission street, where they were stopped by a brave cowboy who grasped a bridle on one of the racing animals.
