up the two ordinances with reference to the
East Oakland water park-the one fixing
the boundaries of Lake Merritt, and the
other outlining by metes and bounds the
150-foot boulevard around the Lakeland,
after discussion, finally passed them.
Mr.. Wakefield did not think the
adjacent property-owners were conceding
enough in the boundaries as fixed by the
ordinances. He thought the city took too
much off the lake, and did not receive
enough land outside to compensate it
for the additional territory that would be
added to the adjacent property or to its in
creased valuation. He believed it would
add at least $4,000 to the value of the
Adams estate alone. The West Oakland
Park ordinance, to include 1870 acres of the
marsh, will probably come up tor final pass
age at the next regular meeting of the
Council.

evening, with reference to the Durant

Mrs. Annie Baroteau, wife of A. A. Baro-
teau of this city, had an exciting experience
few days ago. She was riding alone in
buggy through Marin County, and when in
a lonely spot on the road between Ross
Valley and San Rafael q lough-looking
man suddenly stepped from behind some
brush, and, Selling the horse by the reins,
commanded Mrs. Baroteau to throw I'D her
hands. But Mrs. Baroteau possessed more
courage than the would-be road agent
counted upon, and she was prepared for
such an emergency. Pulling out a pistol
from her dress pocket, she aimed it at the
man, who instantly took to his heels. The
brave woman continued her journey to San
Rafael without further molestation.
