Peculiar Raid on Long Bridge-The Po-
trero AmaZOns.
Long Bridge and the eastern suburbs OF
the POtrero was the scene last night OF pc
culiar raid. John McArdle and his wife
were the leaders, and each was armed. The
other participants were Joseph Smith and
Hazel Morris.
They first visited the galley of the chip
Remus and stole large bread knife. With
this the quartet entered a saloon next to
Long Bridge kept by Louis Won Hartens,
and were about to commence hari-kar when
he rushed behind counter and emerged
with a revolver. He took the knife from
McArdle and threw it into the street. Mrs.
McArdle went after 1t and concealed it in
her stocking. On her return the fight was
renewed, John McArdle and his crowd
against Won Hartens. his wife and Mrs.
Knsber. In the melee the latter got her lip
cut and the Won Harten contingency was
soon routed. The wrecking of the saloon
followed.
In the meantime the cook from the ship
Remus called to press his claims of owner
ship over the knife. He was rewarded with
an insignificant cut on one of his hands.
The crowd then went TO another saloon. and
was about to wreck 1t when Officers BOySto
and Kelly appeared. All were captured.
The McArdle's were charged with carry
ing concealed weapons and disturbing the
peace and the other two got the latter

What Oakland needs, and needs badly, is
pitchers. No club stands show IL weakin

Every time any Of the teams go up against
San Jose with LoOkabaugh in the box they

somehow he goes on pitching winning ball

Rochester team.
Oakand's poor work is turning the

White Rat McGucken and Hanley are the
best hitters in the San Jose team.
BaltZ, the pitcher signed by Sacramento
this week, has more speed than any other
twirler in the league. He worked for Sac
ramento and Oakland In 1883, but was re-
leased owing to his inability to control the
ball. 1t is said that he has acquired good

Forty Years Ago.

Discovery of a Girl Who Disappeared
Forty Years Ago.
Mary Ana Grer disappeared from her
fathers home In Indiana nearly forty years
ago. A few days ago her body was re-
covered In an abandoned bog iron ore pit,
without one vestige of change from the
appearance it had known in life. The last
shread of clothing was long ago DESTROYED,
but the same chemicals which removed the
garments preserved the flesh. Not only is
the contour as perfect as in life, but even
the color has remained unchanged. The
arms and shoulders are as white as marble.
The hands are brown, and one still bears
stains Of the berries with which she was
working on the afternoon of her disappear
ance.
The cheeks arc slightly brown, but suffuSed
with rudy flush, which old settlers here
will remember as one of the girls chief
charms. Were it not for the unSightly cav
tiles that once contained the eyes, the petri-
fed frame, which has lain almost half
century in the soil, would appear as the
peacefully sleeping figure Of a healthy young
woman.
When the body was found it was at first
believed TO be that of some woman recently
murdered, but one of the discoveries struck
the body with knife and proved that it
was stone. The father of the dead girl was
the first TO recognize her. He had always
believed that she had run away from home
with a young man .named Whitesal, with
whom she was in love, In face Of the 0biec-
tons of her parents.-EX.
