None of the Three Men Who Held Tn

Yet.

The daring robbery Of Patrick f. Gleason,
grocer, Twenty. fifth and Harrison streets, and
TObin and Rafferty,, two of his customers, on
Sunday night by three masked men is the talk
of The Mission.
Gleason last night showed an ugly scar on

of the robbers dealt him with a bottle.

made me open the till. but in doing so 1 pur-

They agreed that nothing like it had ever
before been seen in California, and while
it bore striking resemblance to Western
cyclones it was bad case of hurricane
from somewhere up in the Northw west
where the weather prophet has been
manufacturing ecentstorms at great rate.
Among the persons who saw the storm
coming were Carl Niehaus and Gus Allie
gewahr, who were on the lumber wharf of
Niehaus brothers.
'After rain began to pour" said
Niehaus, 81 looked toward San Pablo Bay

Taylor's lumber wharf. 1900 feeIslong and
similarly piled with boards and planks.
Through one of the unaccoun able freaks
OF the elements this one got off lightly in
comparison with its neighb0r.
When the dark cloud collided with the
lumber whole piles tumbled overheard,
planks were crushed up. and whole boards
were shot across the 300 feet and wedged
between heaps of boards like swift arrows
from mighty bow. One pine flooring
board, belonging to TAYLOR, uninjured by
its flight through space, was found on
Niebaus' wharf after the storm among
debris that had kept it company in the air.
Iw0-inch planks were split and broken
lengthwise and crosswise and covered the
dock with splinteTed boards. Instead of
the orderly lum ber-yard, the wharf was a
mass of rubbish. Half of the lum Der was
in the bay. sticking in mud and floating
about.
An extraordinary incident is recorded
by eyewitnesses of the storm. The
steamers Mare Island and Hope were lying
at Berkeley wharf, 400 feet distance from
the lumberyards. But they were IN calm
water and their crews looked on at the
flying boards. although not breath of
wind touched themselves.

A BROKEN FLUME.
The Preside Threatened With
Water Famine.

The Preside Threatened With a
Water Famine.
The fume which supplies the Preside
with water from Lobos Creek Is broken in
five places, and great dearth of water is
the consequence.
Last winter the streams did continual
damage to the f1ume by washing down the
mud and rocks from the bank above.
This year a similar catastrophe has hap
pened, and though thirty men were at
work on Sunday patching up the damage,
the bank has caved down again.
1t IS hoped. however, that IN few days
the Preside will have all the water
it wants from the wells near the Ma
rine Hospital. The new pumping
plant, which connects these wells with the
Presidio, has been on trial for the last two
days. That is t. say, water has been
pumped through slowly and cautiously to
see how the plant worked, and so far the
test has been perfectly satisfactory. 1t
will be some days, however. before the
new engines are accepted as perfectly sat-
isfactory by the Government. They have
not been yet tested to the full extent of
their powers, and In the mean time there
is great dearth of water at the Presidio.

The Secret of Thier Success.

We call attention to the new ad-
vertisement Of the McCreery In
proved Racket store in this issue.
No conception can be told of the i'm
mense business now being done by
this firm, under the able and eff
clients management of Mr.. ". II.
Monckton Beginning Oh a small
basis as kind of branch of another
store, it's business has grown to such
magnitude as to require the first
floor of large and handsome brick
building. Studying the wants and
wishes of a consuming public, their
energies and business tack has been
directed toward supplying the de
mands of the public generally, and
hence the people, recognizing this
fact, have given them Il liberal and
hearty support. Knowing that their
success means low prices, good goods
and accommodating service, and
hence the secret of this firm S success.
Those who have not yet given this
firm trial, v Ill find it to their in
terest to do so at once. 1t is almost
needless to notify their old custom
ers of this fact as they have long
since found this out.

At a funeral sermon of a colored
person preached at Spring Hill, about
six miles west of this place, last
Sunday, Frank White and Pink
Smith became involved in a personal

blows to the shooting.
We learn that Smith shot White
twice, one ball entered his bosom
and the other his left side.

4 Card.

The many friends of S. L. Smith note
with pleasure his announcement as a
candidate for County Supervisor.
His long experience in looking after
the public roads and guarding the
finances of the county eminently
qualities him for the new office to
which he aspires. His record as a
public officer, in the capacity of
County Commissioner, is before the
people and upon that he is willing
to stand or fall. In the discharge of
his official duties he has displayed a
sound Judgment and an eye to strict
economy-tha two main essentials to
consider in choosing man for this
position. If elected, we aro salts
fled that our interests will be safely
protected and that the duties of the
office will be administered i'll a just,
conscientious, and judicious manner.
With his record as man, as a sol.
der, as an official and as a reformer,
we'll known to the people of his
county we bespeak for him only
that which he deserves, large and
victorious vote at the August primary.
