THE RECORD DAY,
st. Simon Had the Greatest Crowd in its
History on Sunday.

st. Simon Had the Greatest Crowd in its
History on Sunday.
Twelve hundred people went to st.
Simon Sunday. The commodlous
Governor Stafford was crowded to the
limit on every trip. Excursions from
various points, the largest from Sa-
vannah, added their quota to the in
vading army of surf and breeze
seekers.
The scene about Ocean pier was
remarkable one. All day all sorts of
people, bent on all sorts of pleasure,
thronged the beach, the pavillOns, the
lighthouses and the borders of Camp
Roosevelt, while the human heads in
the surf looked like bobbing corks and
were so numerous that the water was
visible only in occasional spots.
The Reserves, in their nobby uni
forms, and the representatives of other
military organizations, gave zest to
the crowds and pretty girls were SO
numerous that bashful young men
found it impossible to get out of range
of one or more pairs of bewltching
eyes. Clancy and Arnold, too, had
their houses full, and the Sunday in
fiux, added to the visitors already on
the island, ran the total population of
the island up to nearly 5000.
1t was the greatest day in the his
tory of the resort. Fourth of July
crowds were not a circumstance. In
populousness, if not in diversity of
amusements, it suggested Coney
Island.

Fire at the Resort.

Fire destroyed the large pavilion in

Means to Pay Creditors.

Which Frodnced Temporary Insanity- Only
Took $4OO With nim-kife and
Children in Switzerland,

Forest Grove. Or, June 1.-THE assign
ment Of Anton Pfanner, the banker who
has disappeared. was made In Forest
Grove on Monday. ard Witnessed by At
torney Langtry. but the contents OF the
paper were not known until 1t was mailed
from Portland Thursday. On leaving
Wednesday Pfanner told his landlady
thar he would probably return In the
evening, but not to wait for supper tor
him.
The missing banker was educated at
a military school in Switzerland. and
that country, il ls said. has his wife and
two children. OF his history from there
until he turned up as a rancher above
Buxton. this county. nothing Is known.
Five years ago he established himself
at Forest Grove and soon won the entlre
confidence Of the business community. en-
gaging in general banking and broker
age Last fan he purchased the bank
OF Forest Grove and at that time exhibited
TO his patrons private resources to the
amount OF about slxty-seyen thousand
dollars. and large amount OF real estate
over the county in his name. but It Is
unlikely that he was overburdened. for
his loans were made very conservatively-
Pfanner was retiring and lived almost
the life of a recllse. devotlng himself
to his business late into the night.
This constant strain is believed to have
affected him mentally. The assignees
are making an inventory, and can yet
make no definite statement. but there
IS little doubt that the resources win
prove ample. for there is considerable
money and reliable securities to large
amount on hand. Pfanner took with him
very little money-not over four hundred
dollars.
