hours steady work the crew landed at the
Encinal Boat Club house. There they rested
about an hour to prepare themselves for the
return trip.
1t was wise precaution. in the event of

and the boys had a hard time of it, Several
times the boat was in danger of swan ping.
Sea after sea broke over her, and at one
time there were six inches OF water in the
bottom of the boat. Caps and shoes we're
brought into requsition in lieu of baiiing
buckets, and 1t was only by the hardest
kind of work that the crew kept their craft
afoat. BY dint of careful management the
dangerous passage was at last accomplished.

the evening. The boys were nearly tired
out, and all declared that they did not want

IT Was A GLORIOUS DAY.
Beautiful Sunshine Enjoyed
by Many People.
The Suburban Resorts, the Ocean Beach and
the Park Accommodate Unusually
L2rge Crowds.

1t was warm day yesterday around town
and. therefore. everybody who could man.
aged to escape 10 the ocean shore. the park
or the suburban cities deserted the business
streets.
The ferries were crowded during the
morning hours with people anxious to reach
the shores of Alameda County aud the
many pleasure resorts on that side Of the
bay.
The San Francisco and North Pacific Rail-
road carried big lot Of pleasure-seeke to
1fburon and up to the various stations along
the line.
Many hundreds took the North Pacific
Coast Company's Sausalito line and all the
way up to San Rafael, and thousands went
to FL Campo, while many went on the ex-
cursion to Ukiah.
But the great majority of Sunday idlers
fastened to the park and to the Cliff House.
Every one of the many street-car lines
running in that direction was taxed TO its
utmost capacity from early morning to late
at night.
The beach, within several miles Of the
Cliff House, was crowded with men, women
and children, who were there to enjoy tho
cool air and watch the beautiful marine pie
tures, the seals, the breakers and partake OF
their luncheon.
But the park was The great magnet that
drew the crowd more than any other place.
Every walk, every seat every grassy plat
and every nook and corner of that large
public pleasure ground was full Of people.
Around the music-stand in the afternoon
there was dense multitude.
1t was not a bit hot out there, either, and
those who had just left Market street.
where the poultice payements were melt
ing, wondered at the GOODNESS Of the atmos-
Dhere.
Captain Thomson. the veteran Of the
park police, said it was a very large at
tendance, and if any one can size up park
crowd On Sundays lie is the one to do it.
The animals seemed to enjoy the glorious
afternoon as we'll as the people
They did not try to keep out Of sight, but
were constantly on exhibition.
1t tiattered them, 1t seemed, to have so
many admirers.
The buffalo thought everybody in the
park had no other object in being there but
TO nay him visit.
Every one OF the deer pranced about as il
all that crowd considered him the only at
traction.
The laughing jack laughed more than
ever.
He thought it good joke that so many
well-dressed men and women should make
it their special business to call on him.
And IN the aviary the many colored birds
strutted about or flew from tree TO tree,
looking highly amused and pleased because
SO much attention was paid them.
1t was evidently a red-letter day in the
history OF the park. for among tile many
beautiful Sundays it has been patrOniZed in
the past few were so entirely without
bemlSh as yesterday.

Fires a Bullet Into His Own
Brain.
SHOOTING AFFRiY OH LiGUNl STREET

on Laguna street, near Gearv, shortly after
II O'Clock last night, when Jacob Breten-
stein shot and probably fatally wounded
his wife, Celia Breitenstein, and attempted
to kill himself by firing a bullet through
his head. Jealousy is supposed to have
been the cause of the tragedy
Both husband and wife are now in the
Receiving Hospital In critical condition.
Breitenstein and his wife never lived hap
PLY together and about month ago she
brought suit for divorce against her
husband on the ground of cruelty.
They were married about year ago. He
was a carpenter, having shop in Napa
City, but his wife always resided in this
city, their domestic discord apparently
dating from soon after their wedding.
Breiteustein says they were married one
year ago. They were separated a few
months after the ceremony, and four weeks
ago she applied for divorce on the ground
Of cruelty.
She declared that he had used the vilest
language in addressing her and had fonded
her with his fist or any weapon within his
reach whenever the evil spirit that dOmi-
mated him dictated.
She went to live with her father. Jacob
Deitsch. at 1924 Laguna street. while he
continued to reside at their former residence,

Last night Mrs. Breitenstein and her sis
ter. Mrs. T. s. johnson, went to the Grove
street Theater, aud walked UP Laguna
street on their way home.
G Breitenstein followed them to the theater
and waited outside until the performance
was over. He tried to engage her in con-
versatiOn, asking her why she had left him,
but she would not speak word to him.
She told Mrs. Johnson that she
was afraid of him. The disap-
pointed husband disappeared and
was Lot seen by the two women again until
the scene of the tragedy was reached.
Bretenstein approached her.
Celia, are you notg0ing TO speak to me"
he pleaded. throwing his arm around her
neck. She attempted TO repulSe him, and
right temple fired.
She fell TO the ground with the blood
pouring in a torrent from her forehead.
AS she lay prestrate before him he
fired again and again. The second and the
third bullet passed through her arm into
her body.
Thinking that his crime had been accom-
plished, Breitenstein pressed the muZzle of
the weapon against his forehead aud sent a
bullet crashing through his brain.
The wOuld-be murderer and his victim
were taken to the Receiving Hospital.

wounds dangerous and probably fatal.

EighWaymen.

MOUNTAIN VIEW. Sept 25.-The thrifty
town of Mountain View was stirred up to
a high pitch of excitement on Wednesday
evening by the appearance of two men in a
wagon, who claimed to be Sontag and

While the people were slowly vending
their way toward home two men dressed in
old clothes and looking very haggard and
dirty, with their whiskers somewhat the
worse for wear, drove in town 10 a wagon
drawn by horse which seemed barely able
TO stand.

also added TO the adornment OF their vehicle.
10 the hands OF one was a double barreled
shotgun, while his companion kept an old
rusty pistol in sight.
The bandits drove down Castro street in
a hurry, while quite a crowd watched them
from the sidewalks, although no one made
an effort to capture the despeTadoes. Upon
reaching the railroad track Front street was
chosen as their course and the bandits were
soon out Of sight
Il is understood that the constables have

stream of profanity and obscenity from her
lips as she reeled along the street.
AT the corner of Kearny and Jackson
streets she began TO toss the child from arm
to arm until 1t was in momentary danger of
being dashed TO death on the pavement.
The little girl began to scream. and pass
ing messenger boy snatched the baby from
the frenZled mothers arms. Mrs. Malta
