Several Thousand Dollars in
Gold Bullion and Coin
Secured.
PASSENGERS LOSE NOTHING.
The Road Agent Believed to Be
Crowley, the Alams da County
Fugitive.

BAKERSFIELD, CAL, Aug. 2S.-A lone
highwayman stopped the Kernville and
Caliente stage this afternoon at point
four miles this side of HaviIah, relieved ii
of Wells, Fargo & Co.'s strong box, and
then coolly ordered the driver to proceed
on his way to Caliente. The hold-uD oc-
Cured about $50 o'clock. shortly after the
stage had turned over the divide going
down into Walkers Basin, in little sag
well sheltered by trees and underbrush.
The first intimation of trouble came
when a masked man stepped from behind
a large oak tree, within few feet of the
road, and leveled pistol at the driver,
commanding hirI to stop the outfit, and
stop it then and there. The driver obeyed
and brought the team to sudden stand
still.
Throw out that box and be in hurry
about it. Time is precious with me, was
the outlaws command.
''All right" responded the boyish driver,
William Sweet.
Then be in a hurry about i"
BY this time the masked bandit had got
on little rise near the stage, where he
could better superintend the job. There
were three passengers aooard-Dan DOH
erty, saloon man of Kernville, Ernest
Brantiheidt and mining man from Los
Angeles. They We're asked if they were
armed, and quickly came negative reply
from each. Brantiheidt, who was sick,
added:
II have no gun, but you can kill me if
you want to, because L have been thinking
about doing it myself"
The box was bolted to the bottom of the
stage, and when the driver went to throw
it out he informed the highwayman thatit
would take some time to get it out.
"Well, then, said the man with the re-
volver, ''you had better get a crowbar
have here behind these bushes" pointing
back behind him, "and tear it out, for |
have but little time to fool here.''
Alter about ten minutes, which seemed
to driver and passengers more like ten
hours, the box was torn away, and then
the stoutest looking passenger was directed
by the robber to throw 1t on the bank
where he was standing. This the pas
senger said he could not do, as it was too
heavy.
Then drop it out into the road and be
IN hurry about 1t.
Out it went.
"Drive on now" was the last command.
The driver did not have to be told twice
to do this. After having gone a short dis
tance Doherty looked back to see what had
become of the robber. He saw him stoop
down ana pick up the box and walk off
with it into the thicket. This was the
last seen of him. The box when empty
weighs about sixty pounds. and it is said
to have contained about $1,000 in bullion,
besides some coin.
The outlaw wore a mask apparently
made of flour sack. He was about feet
10 inches high and would weigh about 100
pounds. He appeared to be about 35 years
of age. He was dressed in suit of duck.
wore white felt hat and was clean shaved
and of sandy complexion. He was very
cool and deliberate about his work.
The officers here are notified and will
leave by the first train in pursuit. They
believe that the robber is Bandit Crowley.

REDWOOD CITY NATIVES,
Extensive Preparations for the
Next Grand Parlor
Meeting.
By Giving Concert San Francisco
Talent Will Assist in Raising
Funds.

REDWOOD CITY, CAL, Aug. 2s.-
When in April last the members of Red
wood City Parlor, Native Sons of the
Golden West, received the news that the
next Grand Parlor was to come to this
city, its mem bers realized that it meant
work and plenty of 1t for the Native Sons
in this county. A committee of seven of
their abIest workers-Sheriff w. P. Nc
Eyoy, W. j. Plump, City Clerk D. R. Stat
ford, County Assessor c. D. Hayward, L.
]. Frank, H. w. schoberg and Guy Phelps
Hall-was appointed to at once begin plan
ming the details for raising the necessary
funds and securing the good will and CO.
operation of the citizens OF this city and
vicinity. The nucleus Of the fund was oh
tanned by giving ball at the Alhambra
on July 4, which was financial as well as
social success.
Next M onday evening a concert and en-
tertainment will be given at the Alhambra
by some of San Francisco's best-known
artists. Among them will be the CHECKER
ing quartet, composed OF Frank Coffin, D.
NJ. Ward and 5. E. Tucker OF Grace
Church choir and r. +. Tilton, organist at
st. Johns; William Mcdonald, the basso
soloist of Grace Church choir; Miss Mabel
Love, the noted soprano, and Sheriff
Whelan of San Francisco. An overture
will be rendered by the local orchestra.
A fine programme has been prepared
for Admission day. Fingers grove has
been secured for the occasion, and at that
place clambake will be given at noon.
Thes afternoon will be devoted to ad-
dresses, races, games, athletic exercises
and dancing. In the evening at 6:30
o'clock fremen's tournament and open
air band concert will be given IN town, the
festivities of the day to close with ball at
the Alhambra. From the fact that the
proceeds OF these entertainments are to be
devoted exclusively to the "Grand Parlor
fund, and from interest manifested by
Redwood City people and those of neigh
boring towns, it gives promise of being
one OF the largest gatherings in the history
of San Mateo County. The parlors at
Mayfeld, Menlo Park Halfmoon Bay and
San Mateo have signifed their intention of
Joining the local parlor in parade.
The interest which has been shown in
the success of the Grand Parlor by neigh
boring parlors is most encouraging TO the

ALAMEDA COUNTY TAXES
State Equalizers Inquire Into
the Methods of Assessor
Dalton.
The Official and His Inquisitor Clash
in Several Bitter Wordy
Wars.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Aug. 28.-Asses-
sor Dalton and several of his deputies and
the Supervisors of Alameda County put
up strong fight in defense of Alameda's
assessments before the Board of Equaliza-
ton this morning. Equalizer Beamer
acted as inquisitor, and several times he
and Dalton INDUCED in wordy wars.
Dalton said that his assessments were
lowered only in places where property
had deprecated. He acknowledged that
he had made mistakes, but stated that they
were on both sides of the line.
Beamer called attention to property
bearing mortgages, stating that there were
2I9 mortgages in the city, representing
@fio,Z22, that were assessed only $5l2, lbs.
Dalton said that there were circumstances
attending these loans that caused more
money to be loaned on lands than they
we're worth. AS an example, he cited the
Centennial Hotel, on Fourteenth and
Washlngto ton streets, which was accepted
as security for more than it was worth at
the Time when the Blairs were building
their cable road.
beamer asked in regard to a large list
OF mortgages which were assessed below
their lace value. He did not have de-
scriptlons and locations of the property.
Dalton protested that he was unable to
| Judge OF instances when he was not fur
| nlshed with information sufficient to give
him an idea OF the location of properties.
| The discussion of property values in
Murray township was entered into, and
| Deputies Vinegar and Chadbourn as
sumed the defense. They stated that
| assessments had fallen about $55, ,000 Most
| OF the loss was on vineyards. Land worth
| 500 an acre three years ago could now be
bought for $780, The grape crop was
| failure this year and had failed last year.
| Beamer presented data showing some very
| low assessments compared with mort
cages. 1t was explained that the mort
cages were taken when prices were high,
| and were renewed from time to time
| Far into the night the board was en-
gagged in making comparisons in mort
gage and property values in Alameda
| County real estate, and Assessor Dalton
demonstrated the fact that he was per-
| fectly cognizant of the art of standing
pat" on all questions. For instance, when
| the mooted question as to why be had as
sessed the Oakland Water Company for
the sum OF $614, IT'S only, when the sworn
statement before the City Council placed
the valuations on the property at over
So, 900, 900, Mr.. Dalton retorted:
1.-The sworn statement has nothing to
do with me. l simply assess the property
as find it,"
Then Equalizer Beamer produced list
after list of individual assessments of
private holdings, showing that they were
not assessed within 80 per cent of their
appraised values. The following table of
mortgaged property in various portions of
Alameda County was then produced by
the board, showing that the property was
not assessed for the amount of. the mort
gage upon it:

Mayor Pennoyer and r.. u. Inman
Carry Kmires for Each Other.
PORTLAND, Or, Aug. 2S.-R. D. In
man, chairman of the Board of Fire Com
missioners, has resigned because of the
determination of Mayor Pennoyer to
manage the fire department. instead of
permitting the Commissioners to do it.
As lnrnan is very popular member OF
the silver Democracy, his resignation has
caused friction in that party.
Mayor Pennoyer and Inman have been
the two shining lights of the Bryan forces
in this city, the latter having been the
fusionist candidate for Mayor two years
ago and Pennoyer being the presnt Mayor,
elected by the same combination. The
Mayor refused to let the Commissioners
discharge Harry White. a fireman, who
had spoken maliciously of lnman two
years ago in the campaign.

under him must vote for Bryan.

Schooners of the Canadian

VICTORIA, B. c., Aug. 2s,-News OF
the first sealing seizures in the Bering Sea
this year was received indirectly from
Unalaska to-day. The information is
brought by the schooner Jessie, bound for
Port Angeles, which was spoken by the
Lorne, Captain Langley. fifty miles at sea,
off the entrance to the straits. 1t was
learned that the Beatrice of Victoria and
the Beatrice of Vancouver we're the ves-
sells seized. They were arrested for being
within the prohibitive line, and were or
dered to Esquimalt to report to the ad-
miral of the British fleet. No other par
ticulars were learned, but it is probable
that the two sealers, if seized, are not far
behind the Jessie.
The Victoria Beatrice belongs to Captain
w. Grant, one of the oldest men in the
sealing business in this city. The schooner
is g. ton vessel and is commanded by

test of his car fender in the presence of
the City Trustees and streetcar officials.

it. He lay face downward putting a cigar,
