SANTA BARBARA ANXIETY.
The Sloop Restless Missing
With a Large Party of
Campers.
Searching for Her Up to
a Late Hour.

SANTA BARBARA, CAL, July 19-The
sloop Restless, Captain Burtis, which
sailed for Santa Cruz Island on Wednes-
day morning, carrying party of campers,
and which was to return Wednesday night
to take over DR.. Richard J. Hall and party,
whose camping outfit they carried, has
not been heard from, and much fear is felt
lest some disaster may have befallen her.
So great is the anxiety that Deputy Gus
toms Collector Fred ForbuSh, whose son
was on board the Restless, took one of
Larco's stout little fishing boats this morn
ing and with young LARGO and Mr.. Pratt
started out to search for the sloop with the
intention of crossing to the camping-place
on the island in case they did not meet
her or her return trip.
On board the missing vessel are: Duncan
McDutfie, son of the president of the Board
of Trade; Mrs. Robert Jennings, Mr.. and
Mrs. Portsous, Miss Annie James, Helen
Sawyer, Gertrude Diehl, Matte Smell,
Minnie Johnson, frankie Metcalf; Messrs.
Fred Lamb, Walter Flint, Mr.. Conklin,
George Sanders, Captain Burtis, Mr.. Cook
and Mr.. Forbush.
The Restless is sloop of sixteen tons
burden, chiefly used for carrying parties
back and forth between the islands and
the mainland.
Various opinions are expressed as to her
seaworthiness, but none whatever in re-
gard to her captain, who is known to be
one of the best and most careful sailors on
the coast. There has been no storm nor
wind sufficient to wreck boat, and she
could not have been run down by any
other vessel, as she was sailing across in
broad daylight.
The most probable theory concerning
her delay is suggested by young gentle
man who lately returned on her from an
extended camping trip on the island. He
states that on the return trip last week he
observed her mainsail was badly worn and
should that have given way she might
have shipped her mast. In that case he
does not think it possible the boat could
have capsized, on account of her extra
ordinary breadth of beam and compact
build, but she would drift helplessly about
until picked up. He adds that there would
be little or no danger of her running on
rocks as she has very long anchor chain
which would catch and hold in any local.
ity where reefs occur or along the shore.
Some who are well acquainted with the
extraordinary antics of the winds IN the
channel put forth the comfortable theory
that the sIoop has been caught in little
calm IN midchannel despite the fine breeze
and whitecaps in sight as far as the eye can
reach.
At late hour neither the Restless nor
Genoa, which had gone in search of her,
had returned aud the anxiety is increasing.
The failure of the latter to reach port to-
night is considered ominous. 1t is feared
that her nelay is caused by an unsuccess-
full search for the Restless.

PACIFIC GROVE, CAL, July 19.-At
the Women's Christian Temperance Union
School of Methods to-day very fine
paper on evangelistic work was read by
Mrs. John Bidwell, bringing out clearly
the essentially religious character of the
organization. 1t read in part: "The power
of the union lies in its spiritual life. When

effective. The reports of eyangelistic work
cannot be tabulated, because that per-

excellent paper on "Mosaic Method and

Mrs. Lillian II. Shuey presented the

HIS IDENTITY UNKNOWN,
Made a Most Reckless Attempt
to Escape His Pur-
SuerS.
DEFIED THEIR RIFLE BULLETS.
Was Nearly In Safety When
Deputy Constable Ended His
Career.

NEWMAN, CAL, July 19.-Lately many
depredations have been committed along
the San Joaquin River.
Yesterday some one entered the house
of William Newsom, near Newman, and
stole some canned goods, bacon, rife and
other things. Constable Short was noti-
fed, and, together with his deputy, went
in pursuit of the thief. The robbed house
being on the river, the constable surmised
that the goods were taken off by boat. So
they proceeded down the river to intercept
the boat. Soon lone boatman was sight
ed coming down the stream. The con-
stable and deputy secreted themselves near
the river bank.
It was nearly dark when the boat came
by them. The constable hailed the boat
man and told him to come ashore and SUBJ
nit to arrest.
He answered and said he would IS soon
as he could turn his boat, but instead of
making a landing he commenced to pull
rapidly away.
The constable fired two shots into the
water near the boat. This only served to
increase the fugitive's speed.
Deputy Constable Ed Newsom then fired
two shots from his rifle over his head, then
two more shots into the water; but the
boatman still continued to row, and in a
few minutes more would have reached the
opposite shore and escaped into the thick
brush.
Then Newsom aimed low to wound him.
AT the report the man sank into the bot
tom of the boat.
Fhe constables procured boat and went
across the river and found the man was
dead shot through the brain.
All the missing goods were found in the
boat. Near the body was loaded rifle
and shotgun. The body was searched and
long knife and pistol found, together
with a large bunch of keys. There was
nothing to identity the robber.
The Coroner and Sheriff were notified
and an inquest was held. The jury brought
in verdict that the unknown was killed
while resisting arrest by officers.

FRESNO RA|S|N OUTLOOK,
A Considerable Reduction in
the Acreage Set to
Grapes.
1t Is Believed This Will Have the
. Effect of Creating Better
Prices.

FRESNO, CAL, July 10. Since 1894
there has been shrinkage of over fourth
in the acreage of raisin-grape vines in
Fresno County. A year ago there were
over $1,000 acres, while the assessment
roll just completed shows that there
are now but 81, 1000. The land from which
the vines have been taken has been planted
to alfalfa or fruit trees.
Such a heavy reduction in the acreage
indicates that better prices will be realized
for this years crop, although the vines
rooted out are nearly all young ones.
This is the first year that there has been
reduction, and undoubtedly more vines
will be taken out if prices this year are low.
Farmers are more hopeful about fruit,
and during the year the number of trees
has increased from 648, 900 to 702, 600.
The wine industry, as well as the raisin
industry, has suffered, as il: seen by the
from 1896 to 1904.

SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, July 49,
County Auditor Diss has asked the opinion
of District Attorney Daley in regard to
issuing warrant for the interest ON $780,
600 Needles School District bonds, held by
the Oakland Bank of Savings.
The railroad company is the principal
taxpayer in the district and would pay
S11OO OF the $1,000 necessary for the inter
est, but refuses to pay and temporary
injunction restraints the Tax Collector
from deciding the company's property sold
as delinquent.
Over $4,000 interest warrants issued by
previous auditors are still unpaid. Auditor
Diss will refuse to issue warrant for this
year unless he is compelled to do so by
mandamus. The railroad company claim
the bond issue is illegal. Nothing was
done with the Injunction, though it was
granted in March, 1892 1t is thought the
District Attorney will now dissolve the in
junction and settle the status of the bonds.
