hat, rushed in after her, threw her upon
the bed and before she could make any
outcry stuffed a piece of silk cloth and
dress lining into her mouth. The child
fought desperately and kicked her assail-
ant in the face, but he easily overpowered
her. He then poured some red liquid,
probably sleeping potion, from small
bottle into her mouth, and she became
unconscious.
Mrs. Roberts found the door unlocked,
and on entering was Mortified TO find her
child lying on the bed unconscious and
gagged. The gag was promptly removed
from the child's mouth, a physician called
and the little one was finally relieved.
Articles from the bureau drawers were
found strewn about the room, but thus
Gle of any value, for she wore her jewelry
at the time and also had all of her money
in purse in her possession.
The girl had sufficiently recovered to-
day to give a description of her assailant.
She says the man was of tall and slen-
der build, wore a black mustache, had a
receding chin and rather a short neck. On
one Of his fingers he wore diamond ring
and from his gold watch chain was sus-
never seen him before, and says she did
not realize his presence until he slapped
his hands over her mouth. The robber
evidently left the room very quietly, for
he attracted no attention and escaped
without leaving any clew. His GOODNESS
is emphasized by the fact that there is a
janitor in the halls almost constantly who
would doubtless have noticed him had the
robber made any commotion In hurrytng
from the building. The police are entirely
in the dark as to the identity Of the bold
burglar.

of them dived after him, but was seized
with cramps and it was only with the
greatest difficulty that he was kept
afloat until the boat came. They all got
safely into the craft and the sailors then
began graphing for the body of Osborne
but failed to find it. The chances are
that the tide caught the body soon after
the lad went down and carried it toward
Red Rock.
Captain Martin was notified and went
al once to Port Costa. All of yesterday
boats from the various vessels lying at
Port Costa were out looking for the re-

There are three rates of wages for sail

those on the Indiana, Ohio and Pennsyl-

Alaska Commercial Company and the
Pacific Coast Steamship Company pay $40
a month. The St. Paul shipped her crew
on Saturday at $40, and when Goodall,
Perkins & Co. heard of 1t they at once
ordered that the men on the Senator get
$40 q month also. Hence the jubilation
among the sailors on the Senator.

Matthews swung rights and lefts on his

In the thirteenth Matthews actually
