not to remit the death penalty, but he had
been moved by the considerations urged
by his attorneys. by the services of the
prisoner in helping truth to prevail in the
case of Hayward and by other considera-
tons not necessary to rehearse. He
therefore sentenced BliXt to spend the

MILL VALLEYS SENSATION
A Bold Militiaman Tries to
Stop the Theater Bus
at Midnight.
Rumors of a Daring Stage Robbery
by Bold Bandits in Marin
County.

The peacefulness of Mill Valley was
rudely shocked Saturday at midnight by
what was supposed to be bona fide stage
robbery. 1t caused intense excitement for
awhile, and during Sunday and Monday
all sorts of rumors gained currency in con-
nection with the event. Marin County, for
the time being, enjoyed the throes and
throbbings OF what promised to be- a big
sensation.
At San Rafael and at SausaIito every
body talked about the hold-up of the Mill
Valley theater bus-they called it stage
coach to give the sensation a larger thrill
and the narrow escapes of the passen-
gers.
There were speculations as to the
amount Of "swag" secured by the bandits,
and by Sunday night there were several
big stories floating about Ross station and
San Anselmo concerning the wonderful
bravery of Hillary O'Connor in defending
his watch and purse at the risk of his llfe
1t seems a little cruel to puncture all
these beautiful rumors at once, but the
truth must be told. And the truth is that
the Mill Valley theater bus was stopped
by three mllitiamen connected with the
Signal Corps camp then at Mill Valley.
1t was done in a bungling fashion, how
ever, and there is little wonder that the
sixteen or seventeen passengers on the
bus were for atime rather badly scared.
Just before the bus reached Mill Valley
three men sprang out on the road and or
dered Driver Broderick to halt. One of
the three, Corporal Curtiss, caught the bril-
die OF the off horse and attempted to en-
force the demand by main strength.
Driver Broderick, feeling in his soul that
the hour had arrived for display of cour-
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-09-10

age, answered the demand by whipping up
ais team and flashing Curtiss over the face.
hThe horses sprang forward and dragged
Curtiss about hundred feet. Then George
Dowd, the owner of the bus, and passen-
ger as well, told Broderick to halt. Con-
stable Gray was aboard. He attempted to
place Curtiss under arrest, but Curtiss
showed fight and struggle ensued. The
passengers disem barked and the men lent
hand in subduing the militiaman. Dur
ing the struggle Curtiss struck at Dowd
with his musket and succeeded in striking
a passenger named Sullivan.
By the time Curtiss was diSarmed and
placed under arrest the corporal of the
guard appeared and explained that he had
sent out the men to stop the coach and see
if some of their comrades were not aboard.
He promised to take care of the warlike
Curtiss and with this understanding Con-
stable Gray turned over his prisoner.
Curtiss' conduct will undoubtedly be the
subject of an official inquiry, for if what
the passengers on the bus relate be only
half true his actions and language were
most unsoldierlike. There were number
of ladies in the party and at first they
were considerably frightened.

THOSE CLOSED AUCTIONS,
An Interesting Communication
From President II.
WeinStOCk.
Attitude Of the California Fruit
Growers and Shippers
Association.

Some time last spring a few of our
largest fresh fruit shippers, including
such men as the late Senator Buck, j. u.
Anderson, A. 7. Hatch, A. Block and
others, with representatives of the prin-
cipal fresh fruit shipping associations, met
with representatives of the leading COM
mercial shippers, including Porter Bros.
Company, the Earl Fruit Company, the
National Fruit Association and perhaps
others, and unanimously agreed = first,
that the practice of years past in selling
California fruit in competition with itself
in rival auctions held at the same hour in
the same city was extremely detrimental
to the Californian fruit-grower's interests;
second, that the practice so far as those
present was concerned and so far as they
could make their influence felt should
forthwith stop; and the California Fruit
Growers and Shippers Association was
thereupon formed, with the object of con-
centrating all shipments of California
fresh fruit in one auction-room in each
city, and of preventing the alternate glut
and scarcity in given markets by inform
ing all shippers daily of the number and
destination of al cars shipped and Of any
changes in routing subsequently made.
1t was also agreed that the fruit should
be sold at open auction, where all who had
the money to pay with could buy. There
appears to be no doubt that these deter
limitations at the time expressed the prac-
tically unanimous desire of the orchardists
of the State, and as those present at
the meeting and unanimously agreeing
on the propriety of the action taken con-
trolled fully three-fourths of the fresh
fruit shipments the question was consld-
cred settled, and an era of better returns
to the fruit-growers was confidently antici-
pated. The necessary arrangements were
Immediately perfected and the auction
houses in each city selected by the duly
authorized officers of the associa ton.
But this arrangement, of whatever bene-
fit it may be to the Californian fruit
grower, antagonized three classes OF East
ern men. These were: First, the leading
