Point San Bruno is that portion of San
Mateo County that projects into the bay

At the same time it was known that an oc-

the lights on shore, but this was also
found to be impractlcable, as the con tour

There was real need for the lights two
decades ago, but they did not become an
absolute necessity until the Baden Meat
Company put up their establishment and
began bringing in cattle at night. The
nrobIem had to be solved then, and Cap

SCHENECTADY Sept. 25.-When Michael Flan-
niean lock tender at the first locl below the
Aaueduct at Rexford Flats. four miles east of
this city. on tho Erie Canal, started for his
shanty at 3 :45 o'clock this morning. after hav-
ing locked two east-bound boats through. his
attention was attracted by the neighinG OF
horse and his ears were assaiied by language
which would cause even q veteran canaller To
pause and wonder whence 1t came Flanagan
soon found out. At n short distance from tho
first lock is side road leading down from the
regular road and ending suddenly in deep ex-
cavaton of tho rock which aDounds Mt this
point. This side road is only used by canal
drivers in towing their boats from one lock to
the other, and there is outlet at the lower end.
Here in this pit Flanagan found middle
aged man and horse and wagon. They were
like rats caught in n trap and the man was
cursnC his luck. When hailed by the lock
tender the stranger seemed confused. He said
that he had driven into the hole in the dark. AS
the lock tender approaches closer me en- man SAID

and disappeared. The man did not come back
With daylight came the discovery that the
horse and wagon were the property OF William
II. Marsden. a merchant OF Schenectady. from
whose stable they had been stolen during the
night The wagon was filled with musical In
struments. including several costly guitars.
banjos, and mandolins. The police authorities
were notified by telephone and it was then
learned that the music store OF L. A. Young had
been burglarously entered and several musical
Instruments stolen. Those found in tho Mars
den wagon proved to be the ones stole from
Youngs store. All of the stolen instruments
were recovered in the wagon except dozen
and half of harmonicas and these the burglar
had probably placed In his pockets. The police
have good description of the horse thief and
burglar. and the authorities OF neighboring
towns have been notified to look out for him.
