Man Crosses the Bay in IA Toy Boat
Excitement on the City Front.


from the San Francisco Alta, June "o.I
Asmall TOW boat was noticed yesterday
unrninr sailing in the bay toward the val

cited II first, was ON account of ITS APP
nar.nt independence. How did 1t get
Started ont into the bay and how did 1t
move SO steadily, without any one to guide
il? If it had been III IL pond, no one
would have remarked it; but out IN the
bav it attracted the attention OF the long

deck. This man had, in fact. mate
the trip across from Oakland IN the small

feet in all in length, and two feet oreaath

the sails may all be managed from tue

deck for the man to squeeze his BODY IN.
This be did when he started out yester-
day morning at seven O'Clock, from OAK

above the deck. In this position he was
able to manage the sails and regulate the
helm. The main sail was about the size

That any one should think for mo-
ment of navigating the bay in u little scho-
oner of SO Liliputian size, Is something
that astonished the denizens OF the city

JARED to set sail. Hewas interrogated by
a crowd of curious people, all OF wh"m

happen. They had the pleasure OF row

go to sea in a toy boat.

WE can't stand it any longer. 1t IS
too bad to smell the stinks, which do rise
up till you might beat them into pesti-
lential keepsakes. around the corner OF
the P-nrod House-too bad to continue
to smell them and be calm or patient or
silent. There is an clubhouse there
which can hold its own against the most
effective bone dust factory that ever bred
q plague: and there is a puddle OF nause-
ons emptyings from the kitchen which
is positively unhearable. We should.
probably. have been falsely charitable
enough to remain silent abont these long
continued odors if it had t become evil
dent that those whose duty it Is to abate
the nuisance are become hardened to
that degree that nothing but sharp and
emphatic public protest would set them
to thinkin, of their duties to themselves
and the public. No man can stem the

raid on illicit distillers in McMinn

of the stills, named Loudermilk.

Their driver fed and the team

Duff was wounded in the fight, but
not seriously. They, however, held
their prisoners, whose names | do
