OAKLAND, April ia crank with
q revolver created stampede in the
First Unitarian Church here this morn

University, who filled the pulpit in the
absence Of the pastor, was about 10
open service when a roughly dressed
young man walked up the aisle and
halting in front of the pulpit platform
drew a pistol and announced his in
tention of being heard. In loud voice
he denounced religion as a humbug
stating that he could prove upon the au-
thority of Professor Leconte, Professor
Jordan of Stanford and other dlstln-
guished scientists that man descended
from the lower animals. Colonel John
P. Irish came forward to reason with
the intruder, but the stranger leveled
his revolver at the Colonel, who stood
his ground, and dared him to approach.
While Mr.. Irish was endeavorinG to
calm the crank, two members of the
congregation slipped up behind him and
pinioned his arms before he could do
any damage. Meantime half of the con-
gregation had made their exit in terror,
