A Story of Hardship and Fatigue
Told to Manager CoWley On
the Mountain.

MILL VALLEY, CAL, May "A party
of three, two ladies and gentleman, ap-
piled for admission at about o'clock Fri
day morning at the Tavern of Tamalpais
on the summit of the mountain. They
did not leave their names, but they pre-
sented sorry spectacle to Fred Cowley,
the manager of the hotel, who got out of
bed to answer their summons.
They said that they had come from San
Francisco and left Mill Valley in the
afternoon to walk to the top of Tam pals,
but when they had covered half the dis
lance the fog rolled in from the ocean and
losing their way they had been wandering
about in the chaparral in an effort to
reach some habitation where they could
obtain a bite to eat, as they were almost
fanished. The ladies were weIl-Digh eI-
hausted, and the gentleman, whom Mr..
Cowley describes as short and heavy-set,
with black whiskers, was well worn out.
They told of the hours they had spent
picking their way through the brushes in
the pitchy darkness with the cold, pene-
trating fog soaking their clothes. Their
Dedraggled appearance bore out their
statements, and after they had partaken of
REFRESHMENTS WcIS
and spent the rem ainder OF the morning
in the hotel. The formality of registering
their names was not complied with.
After breakfast they resolved to attempt
to walk down the mountain rather than
wait for the afternoon train.
They walked down the trails and after a
couple of hours tramplng came upon the
track of the mountain road, having again
lost their way. They met a San Francisco
attorney, J. M. Wright, who was walking
along the track, and inquired of him
where they were. He informed them
that they were within 100 yards OF the
hotel on the summit. Their surprise
knew no bounds for they had after two
hours tramping brought up within a few
hundred feet of the spot from which they
had started. They returned to the hotel
resolving to trust no further experiences
and left for the metropolis on the after
noon train.
They were pretty well tagged out and
the rough experience had told hard on
thealadies.

Wind storm. at Pacific Grore.

PACIFIC GROVE, CAL, May "a
windstorm has prevailed here for the past
two days. 1t reached it's greatest severity
about O'Clock yesterday evening, and is
said TO have been the worst that has
swept this vicinity in two years. Nogreat
damage was done to property except in
the matter OF fences being blown over and
ornamental trees being broken and in
some cases the smaller ones being up
rooted, but the waves along the bay shore
were dashed to such fury that consiGe era BILE
havoc was wrought about the bathing
beach, where extensive Improvements
have lately been made. At the high tide
of yesterday the breakers ran SO high that
the Southern Pacific Company's track
was badly washed, and iii several places
the rocks which form the buttress along
the waters edge were dislodged, necessitat-
ing immediate repairs. Even In the shell.
tered harbor of Monterey some of the fish
ing boats broke loose from their moorings
and were with difficulty recovered.

in the afternoon, when West, while riding
on the grade near Wildwood Glen, at

balance rolled down the steep embank-
ment, fracturing his hip in the fall. He
was conveyed to the waiting-room of the
North Pacific Coast Railroad, where mis-
injuries were attended to. He was taken

shocked by seeing H. Williams appear in
racing costume without stockings. Creed
proceeded to arm himself to belabor the
unfortunate rider. He was finally per-
suaded to abandon this idea. Williams,
in order to avoid trouble, donned his
stockings. and Creed's opportunity to gain
fame was lost.

THE CONTACT WITH ANY ROUGH
L obstluclon-the slightest iolt-is in
furious to the rider of wheel. 1t dis
turbs the internal organs, jars the nerve
centers of the spine, strains the kidneys
and vital organs and induces general
weakness. All old riders speak of this
weakness, which can and should be
guarded against. Give strength to the
nerves and muscles of the back and help
them to stand tho strain. Make them
elastic and vigorous. An even, steady
current of electricity infused into them
daily will do it. 1t will prepare you for
the severest strain.
DR.. SANDEN'S ELECTRIC BELT is
particularly beneficial to wheel-riders. 1t
numbers thousands of them among its
cures. Giving its force direct to the
nervo-muscuIar center, it carries life and
activity to every muscle which is affected
by riding. It will cure a majority of the
complaints resulting from indiscretion on
the wheel.
Call and examine and make test OF
power is surprising. Read the book,
"Three Glasses of Men," which can be
had, closely sealed, free upon application.

FINALE Of A WILD CAREER
George Foote, Once Wealthy,
Dies PennileSS.
AUTHOR OF A SUPERSTITION
Among Negroes That VIII Survive Him For
Many Years-Was Highly Connected
and Well Educated.

Special to The Ag Herald.
Athens, Oct. 23.-George Foote is dead.
No nsed to tell who he is. Everybody
in this section knew Georg= Foote.
In a notice of a death it is always GUS
tomary to say something of the many
friends, etc. The worst enemysto George
Foote was himself. He could make
friends with anybody, with his violin,
with a song or a story. George Foote
could win a friend. -
He was nearer fifty than forty years Of
age, and looked to be mors for he had
lead hard life. He was born gentle
man, well educated. inherited a fortune,
squandsred it and died without a pznny
he could cali his own.
1t was not from incidence or laziness
that he was not in good circumstances.
He worked hard, but whisky, a jovial
spirit and a smacking of southern hos
pitality gave his money to friends.
George Foot fought through the civil
strife. It is unnecessary TO say for
which side he bore arms. Every one
who knew George long, knew that he
fought for his southern home.
Nsver was George happier in latter
years than with a crowd of grizzled vet
Grams rehearsing the stirring incidents of
the war, or with his violin bringing them
to tears.
For several years George had ben cul-
tivating a plot of ground naar Athens.
He worked hard. In the fall he sold his
crop and in six weeks would be penni-
less. But he would go to work again.
Often he has run as deck hand on the
Tennessee river packet lines
The negroes loved George. He, would
tell them stories and listen to their
whims. But George was unconsclously
the author of traction among the ne
groes of Limestone county that viii live
after him for many years.
George would always drink. When he
owned horse he would come to town
in the afternoon, and bring his viol II.
BY night he would have imblbed pretty
freely and by midnight he would do
nothing but play and sing. He had "a
good voice, and while not artistic his
notes on the violin were sweet.
Some one would put him on his lloTse
and turn the animals head toward home.
About five miles from town near big
rock George would invariably stop, seat
himself on the rock and play his violin
for hours.
He would often be found by negroes
who dared not venture near, and few
fingered to hear the music. A negro is
