STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, April
7.-On Saturday, April a. Charles Sum-
ner Dole '98 will take his track team to
San Francisco to play off the tie made by
the athletic teams of Stanford and Berke-
lev last year.
By a curious coincidence the captains
of the three Stanford teams this year are
from Southern California--Dole of the
track team, FIckert of the football eleven
and Thompson of the baseball nine.
Dole is an athlete of unusual ability and q
conscientious worker on the track. His
example has been worth a great deal to
those who are training under his direc-
ton. He has taken great interest in STAN
ford affairs since he entered the university
three years ago.
In the last field day on the campus, in
spite of lame knee, Dole pole-vauIted 10
feet IL inches. This was an increase over
his best recorded performance of 10 feet
10H inches, which is the present coast
record. He has lately shown a decided
i'm provement in the broad jump.
Among Dole's records are the coast
record for the pole vault. 10 feet 1917

SEARCHING FOB AN HEIRESS.
did of Portland Detectives to
Locate Her Niece.

PORTLAND, Or, April Mrs. An
netta Green, an elderly woman hailing
from Alabama, who came to Portland from
Seattle yesterday, is searching for her
niece, Miss Helen Ida Stapleton. whom
she has never seen, but who, if found, will
come into great wealth. Mrs. Green had
day afternoon with view of obtainin g
his assistance in locating that niece, for
whom she has been seeking all over this
coast for the past two months.
Mrs. Green says that in 1870 her sister
married L. J. Stapleton, q weIl-to-do man,
in Covington, KY, and soon thereafter
they went to San Francisco to live. There
6tapleton engaged in mining stock specu-
latlon, and when he died in that city in
that city in 1882 there was scarcely enough
remaining of the $120 600 be brought 10
the coast to pay burial expenses.
Mrs. Green and her sister maintained
only desultory correspondence after the
latter came to this coast, buta year after
Stapletons death his widow wrote that
she and her only surviving child, Helen,
proposed taking up their residence either
here or In Seattle. 1t is now three months
since she received advice of her sisters
death from her niece, but as she lost the
letter she was unable to say whether it
was dated from San Francisco, Seattle or
this city. The records of these three cities
show no death within the past year of
person answering the description of Mrs.
Green's sister, and so far her search for
Miss Helen has been distressingly fruit
less one.
The old lady stated to the detective that
this niece is the only relative she has on
earth. She desires to take the young Iady
to Alabama with her, and on her death
to leave to the niece her estate, worth
about 5000 000

Blind Woman.

Hairbre adth Escapes of Guests From
the Fire.Swept Overland
Hotel.

SEATTLE, WASH, April 7.-Seattle had
a fire visitation between 1 and 2 clock
this morning which came near being
most disastrous not only as regards great
destruction of property, but the loss OF
lives as we'll. For time it seemed that
all that section OF the city south of Jack
son and for two blocks east of Commerc
street (most of the buildings being
wooden) would be destroyed by fire
which originated in the Overland House,
lamp explosion.
In making their way out of the hotel
many of the guests had narrow escapes
some most miraculous ones. Antonio
Tame, an Italian, was rescued by the po-
lice, put not until he had been burned
until the flesh began to drop from his face
and hands. Physicians say he cannot re-
cover, and his sufferings today have been
almost beyond human endurance.
Officer Powers found Mrs. May, an old
blind woman, prostrated from smoke in
one of the rooms on the third floor of the
house. Two stairways were burned, fall
ing in while he wrested with his charge
and at one time it seemed that the brave
blue coat and the woman were both
doomed. He CROPPED around in the
dense and all but suffocating smoke until
he found q third stairway. This was
ablaze, 100, but the officer, carrying the
woman in his arms, rushed down and
barely reached the sidewalk when the
stairway went down with a crash. cutting
off the last avenue of escape. Owing to
her advanced age it was feared that the
injuries sustained, together with the
fright, might prove fatal, but the woman
is now out OF danger.
w. n. Calder, an electrician, fell during
the progress OF the fire, sustaining slight
injuries.
The Overland House, Major Edward
NJ. Schrack, proprietor, was destroyed
and the Salvation Army Shelter building
in the same block, was badly damaged,
besides slight damages to adjacent struc-
lures. The loss on buildings is about
$4,000, with an insurance of $1,000.

Robbed Chinese and Japanese
Laborers on Highways
Near the City.
One of the Youths Pursued by a
Rsncher and Wounied Before
He Is Captured.

FRESNO, CAL, April During the
past week a number of Chinese and
Japanese laborers, walking from their
places of employment to and from this
city in the evening, have been "held up"
and robbed. The officers were unable to
obtain clews as to the guilty persons
until this afternoon. when they succeeded
in rounding up gang OF five young men,
ranging in ages from II to 20 years, who
had started out on careers of brigandage
by robbing inoffensive Mongols.
The prisoners have all been living with
their parents in this city, and it is the
first time that any of them have been
arrested. They are Charles and Chester
Bartholomew, Ahab Azhderian, Neil
Brown and Ed Hulburt.
The apprehension of the gang was
effected through tho capture this after
noon OF Chester Bartholomew and the
Hulburt boy, shortly after they had COM
mitted bold daylight robbery OF two
Japanese on the highway, about three
miles southeast of this city. Tney were
caught by Rancher Q. II. Hays after an
exciting chase of several miles through
the vineyards. The pursuer fired several
shots over Hulburt's head and sent e bull
let through MS rlSll arm DelOIe UI4nSInS
him TO stop.
Hulburt and Bartholomew had followed
the two Japanese out into the country
from this city, and it was about O. clock
when they robbed them. One OF the vic
Tins had pistol and made an unsuccess-
ful attempt to defend himself with 1t. The
ROBBERS took it from him and relieved him
OF watch and chain.
The hold-up was witnessed by rancher.
living near by, and TWO men pursued the
robbersfor about N lie. They then came
10 Hays place and told him of what had
happened. He armed himself with his
pistoland took after the fugitives. Sheriff
Scott happened to be driving in the vi
entity and drove around to head the rob-
bers off but before he could do SO Hays
had captured Hulburt. Bartholomew hid
and dodged his pursuers.
Sheriff Scott brought the wounded pris-
oner town to have his arm attended 10,
and Hays took up the hunt for the Bar
thoIomew lad, who was captured without
much difficulty.
Tn evening the prisoners made a COM
plete confession. They implicated the
other mem bers OF the gang and told of al
the robberies they had committed. The
boys formed a sorrowful aggregation in
the County Jall tonight, the other three
having been i'm M ediately arrested upon
the confession OF Bartholomew and HUI
