Three Youthful Salvors Have
Gone to San Leandro to
Seek Revenge.
TowED THE TEAM ASHORE.
Exciting Scene at Drawbtidge That
Ended IMP easantly for Three
Energetic Youths.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANcrsco CALL, |

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANcIsco CALL
SOo Broadway, Aug. p.
Three young men went to San Leandro
to-day to look for rancher who they
claim is guilty of the basest ingratitude.
Tney are James Green, Sam Conyers and
Leon Collins and they all live in the vi
cinity of the Webster-street bridge.
Yesterday afternoon rancher was driv-
ing baIky horse on to the Alameda side
of the drawbridge at Webster street. The
animal got on the track and refused to go
any further. A narrow-gauge train was
signaled, but the efforts of the driver and
OF several other people could not induce
the horse to move. The driver got out,
and as he did so the approaching train
frightened the horse. 1t ran off, but in
stead of going on the bridge it ran along
the trestle at the side.
As soon as it had gone about fifty feet it
swerved and fell into the estuary. A few
moments later it had kicked itself clear of
the cart and was swim ming toward the
Golden Gate.
The three young men, who own boat
on the estuary, got into it and started
after the animal. The horse was good
swimmer and not at all desirous 10 be
turned from the course he had laid out
ior himself.
Finally the boys lassoed him and began
to tow him TO the beach. It was hard
task as horse and tide were against them,
but they stuck to their Work, ana when
they got near the shore rope was thrown
and by its aid they managed to get the
animal on the bank.
The rancher told the boys that if they
fetched in his cart he would reward them
handsomely. The lads started out in the
boat and half an hour later the cart and
harness, not very much injured, were on
the beach alongside the house.
The owner succeeded, with the help of
the boys, in hitchiEg up, his team, after
repairing the harness with string which
they furnished. He then told Collins to
get in with him and he would go uptown
and get some money for them. They drove
off, and little later, when a few blocks
away, he made Collins get out of the cart,
and the ungrateful owner drove off.
Now the boys have declared vengeance
and gone to San Leandro, whe they have
a ciew. They declare that they will take
the horse and cart they recovered or else
will get salvage.

The hall was crowded to its fullest ca

read in which the ex-prime minister de-
clared that it would be a wild paradox
to say that the enforcement of British
treaty rights to stop the systematic mas
sacres in Turkey would provoke hostili-
ties from the powers. He added that it
would be abandoning duty and prudence
to advertise beforehand for the ears of
the great assassin that British action was
limited to what the most backward of the
six powers deemed sufficient. If the fun
damental distrust of Great Britain and
the belief that she is pursuing a selfish
policy in the Eastern Mediterranean caus-
ed some of the powers to be backward,
that was a matter that deserved to be
gravely considered.
