Brunswick, Ca. July 7.-Burglaries are
on the increase in Brunswick and the reg
ular semi-ahnual epidemic OF house
breaking seems TO be on. Several faml-
lies have been previously reported as vic
Tins and last night after press hours
another one was made victim. It was at
the home OF Mr.. NJ. A. Baker and the
crime was committed by negro who en-
tered a room where his two little children
were sleeping alone and proceeded to
rife it. They were awakened and gave
the alarm. Mr.. Baker endeavored to stop
the negro with pistol shots, but failed.
The attempt 10 break in the premises OF
Rev =. +. Cook last night, which was
reported in these dispatches, was also
bold attempt to commit violence. The
man who made the attempt was partic-
ularly obnoxious in his efforts and doubt
less thought that because the man of the
house was a minister he could force his
way in regardless Of protests. The sud
denness with which the Rev. Mr. Cook
used his gun after giving a last warn
Ing TO the would-be burglar, had a good
effect, for he ran. The affair was the

her delegates to the district senatorial
convention, and by the delay Is causing
dissatisfaction among the democrats Of

Glynn are always ready to come to the

1t was openly stated in the conference
that this course had been rendered neces-
sary BY the course Of the Chicago news
papers, which. in spite of the pledge
given on their behalf TO the national
committee when Chicago was selected as
the meeting place, that the press of the
city would report the proceedings of the
convention with fairness, had not failed
TO distort and misrepresent with all kinds
of untruths the plans and purposes OF
the silver men. The delegates were there

always had the reputation in his own
locality OF being a speedy, determined
road rider, and when the Santa Rosa Club
decidedto enter several of its men in the
race he was looked upon as the most pro-
missing candidate for front position at
the finish. His net riding time was hour,
10 minutes % seconds which is isconsidered
very fast and would have been the coast
record two years ago.
There were a great many falls and
headers taken during the race from vari-
Gus causes and the distance also proved
trying for some of the men,, for a man
must be hardy rider to stand a twenty
mile race at the killing pace he must keep
up to be in at the finish. For those reasons
only torty-seven of the actual starters COM
pleted the ride and they came in covered
with dust from head to foot and completely
worn out from the excitement ana tension

absolutely refused to do their share OF the
work in this regard, preferring to hang
back and merely following the others.
While this was unsportsmanlike and
seemed like taking an unfair advantage of
the Others efforts, it served them to no
purpose, as Wells and Edwards both beat
them across the tape.
C. M. Smith of the Garden City Cyclers
made a splendid ride and finished within
four seconds of Wells net riding time.
He was allowed four minutes handicap,
being the fifty-ninth man to start. He
finished ninth, passing fifty men on the
road.
J. E. Edwards, who rode second to Wells
for fastest time, is known as crackajack
among road riders, and it was no great sur
prise to his clubmates in the Olympic
Wheelmen to see him do so well. He rode
a clean, sportsmanlike race, setting more
than his share of the pace, he and Wells
relaying each other in this respect every
few miles. He beat Mcfarland, Byrne
and the others with apparent ease, and
Wells was the only one OF the scratch men
whom he could not pass at the finish.
The race was splendidly handled by the
officials in charge and great deal of credit
is due to Chairman Stratton OF the road
racing committee for the perfection of ar
rangements and details. The timing,
scoring and Judging, the most important
features at the start and finish, were in the

citement, the road being lined with people
for fully half mile. who were kept from
crowding on to the path by ropes stretched
between trees. A pretty squirt was wit
messed as the men neared the tape, Wells
leading Edwards, Mcfarland, Griffiths
and Byrne by but a few inches, and they
finished in that order, each being scarcely
half a wheels length behind the other.
The greatest credit attaches to Wells for
having made the fastest time over the
course and for beating the other scratch
men, who are all known to be speedy road
riders. Of course this detracts nothing
from Noonan's winning first place with a
10-mlnute handicap, for the two perform
ances were entirely different from each
other in character, Noonan having to set
most of his own pace and lead the race the
entire way, while Wells had to battle with
the other cracks for position and then out
squirt them at the tape, which he did quite
cleverly.
The following table will show the posi-
tions at finish, handicaps and net riding
time of each man:
