were lost In the recent gale, which broke
in all its fury on the night the GOLFERS
put to sea. Notwithstanding that the
steamers are long out on the voyage
that should have been completed within
four days, some of the owners and con-
slgnees and some of the families of the
scores of luckless mariners stu have
peals. the government has sent out
another steamer to search for the miss
ing vessels. The United States gun boat
Bennington went to sea this evening
under instructions to proceed north

the missing vessels.

Burglars at Santa Rosa Locked the Gus
tOdian In the Vault.
Santa Rosa, Cal, Dec. 2S.-The county
treasury was robbed of nearly $4,000
mere today, and Treasurer Stofen was
locked in the vault and left to die by
the burglars. The robbery occurred at
O'clock this morning, but was not dis
covered until s o'clock in the afternoon.
All this time Stofen lay in the vault
gasping for breath. He was finally res
cued by his wife. who was the only per-
son besides himself who knew the COM
blnation.
His wife had been at Cloverdale, and
IN her return, about 4 o'clock, learned
hat the treasurer had not been home to
dinner. The children said they had
taken his dinner to him and left it in
front of the office. but could not get in.
Mrs. Stofen suspected something wrong
md rushed down to the Office which Is
adjoining the sheriffs office. The door
vas locked. but with the aid of the jan
tor she opened It, Once inside, Mrs.
5tofen found her fears realized. On one
iesk was her husbands coat and hat.
IN the floor. in confusion, were the mon
y trays on which the treasurer carried
money from the vault, which Is in the
rear of the office.
About that time faint knocking was
heard from the inside vault. Mrs. Stof-
IN cried out that her husband was in the
vault and that she could save him If she
could remember the combination. The
Arst time she tried she failed, owing to
her great excitement The next time,
realizing her husbands life depended
upon her GOODNESS, she was more success
tul and the big iron doors of the vault
slowly swung open. Treasurer Stofen
was found on the floor of the vault un-
conscious. the safe door was open and
most Of the money removed.
STOFEN'S STORY.
Treasurer Stofen. as soon as he re-
vived said he opened the office as usual
about o'clock. AS he was carrying out
the trays with money from the vault. a
tall man in stocking feet stepped into
the door of the vault and with an uplift-
ed dagger in his right hand told him to
drop the trays. which he did AS he
stopped over to lay the trays down the
robber struck him a powerful blow on
the head, which knocked him uncon-
scious for how long he could not tell
The man must have gained admittance
to the office during the night and waited
for him to open the safe
Officers are securing the country for
the robber. but no trace can be found.

a GOOD STORY.
Persistent Bell Ringer and Quick
Witted Daughter.

A good story is told of an old Port.
as one of our contemporary newspape
men expresses it. This old gentleman
Was man of the old school, always at
tending strictly to business and prosper
ing thereby and expecting all others
connected with him to do the same.
He was accustomed to rise very early
in the morning and would ring large
bell at the foot of the stairs persistently
and violently, makipgsa terrific din. He
would keep this up until he heard the
footsteps of his SON and daughter il
their rooms above, which he would take
as sure proof that they were soon COM
ing down, and then he would go off to
his business.
His quick-witted daughter, like many
another similar maiden, was very averse
to this custom of early rising, and one
morning it flashed through her mind
that possibly she might quiet that hor-
rible bell by some other method than
compliance with his demands. So she
placed her shoes within reach of the
bed on retiring, and in the morning
walked them up and down alongside the
bed, and was highly delighted when the
bell ringer was deceived and desisted.
Then she went to sleep again. She kept
this upsfor long. time and let her broth
er into the secret. She has been known
to positively declare that it finally be-
came so much of habit with her that
when the bell rang in the morning she
would reach out, walk the shoes back
and forth with her hand and then settle
back into bed again without waking up
at all.
Whether this last is true CT not we can
not absolutely vouoh, but that the
first part of the story is fact we can
affirm
