Her Desperate Encounter With
Villain on Figueroa Street.-The
leaved Of Twenty Dollars

Mrs. Andrew Catanough, who lives at
$50 Vallejo street, on the East Side, was

at the same time snatching her pocket
book, which she carried in her hand.
The lady screamed at the top of heI
voice, but held on to her purse. trhi
robber attempted to force it from her
but Mrs. Catanough struggled with ali
her might. For several seconds the two
tuggedJ away, but the plucky woman held
to her purse until one of her gloves had
been torn from her hand. Finally over
powered, the pocket-book was wrested
from her hand.
The robber then darted down Figueroa
and Mrs. Catanough sped after him.
For block and half she kept close to
his heels. Then, seeing a bicyclist COM
ing, she hailed him and shouted stop
thief" The wheelman did not relish the
job Of tackling the thief and let him
pass.
Mrs. Catanough was out of breath
and could run no farther. She returned
home and told her husband, who is an
employe in the Southern Pacific yards,
what had happened. He reported the
robbery last night to the police, ami
the detectives are on the lookout for the
villain. They have been furnished with
full description of the robber.

hadn't a cent TO pay her way across the

Last Friday a nine from the vicinity
OF Franklin Mine came up to Oakland
and attempted to play ball. At the
close OF the game the score stood 6 to
33 in favor of the home team.
Saturday morning the team from
Mountain Lake Park, captained by
Mr.. John BOnney, went up Fairnont
to play the nine there Upon their
arrival no one met them at the sta
tion, nor could the manager of the
tairinont nine be found all day.
hence no game was played. No ex-
cuse was given for the shabby treat
ment accorded the Maryland boys, all
OF whom are gentlemen at all times
and places.
Manager Brown, Of the KingwOod
nine, recently wrote the manager of
the Homecoming nine declining to
play the latter upon the grounds
here giving as his excuse that fair
treatment would not be accorded the
kingwOOd players by the citizens of
| Oakland and intimating that the
people of Oakland had lit in for us,
meaning kingwood. We want to dis
abuse Mr.. Browns mind of its hallu-
cination. The people Of Oakland are
friendly to his team. They are broad
minded enough to concede that the
kingwOod nine is composed of good
players and that they are not respon-
| sible for the unfair treatment received
by us at kingwOod two weeks ago.
Come over, Brown; we guarantee you
a reception such as one gentleman ac-
cords another, but-don't bring Mr..
Clapp; it wouldn't be fair-tO him.

The Fairfax Stone Gone.

Last Monday when the Maryland
contingent of the surveying party
met to begin locating the boundary
line between this State and West Vir-
ginia they were somewhat astOnished
and an unexpected difficulty con
frOnted them, which gave them some
trouble, but which was surmOunted
after some hours delay. The survey
was to begin at the Fairfax stone,
which has been recognized by the
Maryland Legislature as the point
called for in the grant to Lord Baiti-
more. The Fairfax stone was plant
ed in t146 to show the bounds of the
Fairfax grant. The recognition Of
this stone is contained in the act of
1852 passed by the Maryland Legisla-
ture on the 22d Of May.
1t was in pursuance of this act of
Assembly that the Michler line was
run in 1859 and 1860, which line begun
at the Fairfax stone as required by
the act. When the representatives of
Maryland met on the ground on Mon
day to begin work they were sur
prised to find that the Fairfax stone
had been destroyed, and not even a
trace of it could be found. In Lieut..
Michler's report of his work ne states
that he put up cut stone resting on
a foundation stone, set Immediately
south of the old stone marked F X
planted in 1746 to show the lands of
the Fairfax grant. This old stone
was not disturbed.n
The stone put up by Michler was
found and William II. KitZmiller and
George l.. MOsser testified that they
were present when the Michler stone
was set up, and that it was by the
side of the Fairfax stone. With this
stone and testimony the beginning
point was established and the work
commenced. Observations have been
made and the longitude of the merid
ian line found TO be 90 26/ 21" 70 west
of Washington observatory. The lat
itude OF Fairfax stone 3O' II 30" ).
The elevation and other data have
been determined and the work is GO
ing forward.

Recently an imported French coach
stallion was sent to Accident bv an
importer of such stock and there sold
TO local company for $4,000 who or

greatly improved.

Never Cuts the Performance.

1t is the custom with many shows
to cut the night performance, that is,
omit many of the acts, in order to get
through early and hasten the tearing
down and departure for the next
town. The Great Wallace Show guar
antees never to do this. Mr.. Wallace
is a most conscientious Snowman; he
asserts that money received at night
is worth as much on the dollar as the
day money, and that his patrons are
entitled to just as much for it; he
maintains that he has no right to give
any less. Plenty of men are employ
ed to tear down rapidly enough when
the show is out, without having to
pull the canvas down on the heads of
the spectators.
