The regular meeting OF the Columbia
Pistol and Rife Club was held yesterday
at the Harbor View range. The at
tendance was larger than usual and near
ly dozen ladies accompanied the shoot
ers to witness the sport. Several par
ticipated, and for beginners their first
efforts were satisfactory. From early in
the morning until late in the day the
markers and scorers on the one rifle and
two pistol ranges were kept busy. The
new targeting system introduced by f.
o. Young worked satisfactorily and was
well appreciated because it permits of
shooting so much faster than by the Older
systems. The best scores of the day were

~HE glorious Fourth will arrive to-
morrow on schedule time It's ap
proach has been marked for weeks
bv the detonation of the torpedo
and the crack of the redhead at the
hands of the small boy. Its brief stay
will be the signal for a continuous fusillade
of explosives and a pyrotechnic display
that will pale the stars. Behind IT, out or
the noisest twenty-four hours in the year,
will emerge some small boys, powder
burned and minus some useful parts Of
themselves, but filled with that youthful
patriotism that, refusing TO be surfeited
in any one day, will insist on bursting
their last torpedo. firing their ultimate
cracker and setting off their final sky
rocket before they consider the Fourth
properly ended.
The city has been putting on its pest
airs to grace the nations birthday, and
the result is simply beautiful. Gay bunt-
ing and starry flags fly across the streets
and from many buildings; the ships IN
the harbor are decked with all the colors
IN their lockers; stores, banks, MARKERS
and hotels are gay with the fiutterngs OF
the red, white and blue. the whole max
ing the most comprehensive. spontaneous
decoration ever seen in San Francisco.
Although yesterday was the I'd of July,
and a Sunday, and to-day is the Sd. any
person unfamiliar with the dates ana
dropping in on the carnival of commingled
noise and color would be sure TO think
he had struck the national natal day.
The air yesterday was stirred by con-
stant detonatiOns, and last night the
patriots, too impatient to await the com
ing of the Fourth. sent UP their fire
works and shouted themselves hOarse-
To-day and tonight there will be more
of it, and then tomorrow there will be
a real glorious Fourth.
The holiday this year practically begins
with to-day and will hardly end until
Wednesday night. Many stores will
be closed at noon and other places of
business will not open their doors at all.
Hundreds upon hundreds of people pa
triotc in all but their ability to stand the
noise Of the Fourth, will start to-day for
the country to remain until the last
cracker has been cracked. Many sports
men and athletes will take advantage of
the enlarged holiday TO whip the streams
for fish, TO watch crack dogs chase agile
rabbits for holiday prizes, or go over to
San Rafael. where the golfers and the
tennis cracks are holding their annual
tournaments.
Several large excursions are scheduled
for to-day and thousands of people will
take advantage of the low rates offered by
railroad and steamship companies TO get
a breath Of country air and drink in the
patriotic utterances of any number of
eloquent orators.
1t is only the Sd Of July. but in no
other city in the country can they hold a
candle-not even a Roman candle-to it

BOLD WORK Of
BURGLARS At
THE PRESIDE
Capt. Wilder's Quar-
ters Entered.
A ROLL OF BILLS STOLEN
FIVE CHECKS ALSO TAKEN ARE
FOUND IN THE KITCHEN.
The Police Were Notified Of the At
fair and Detectives Are En-
gagged in Making a Thor
ough Investigation.
A ROLL OF BILLS STOLEN
FIVE CHECKS ALSO TAKEN ARE
FOUND IN THE KITCHEN.

A burglary In the officers quarters at
the Preside is such a rare thing that
when 1t became known yesterday 1t
caused the greatest CONSERVATION and
surprise at the daring displayed by the
burglars.
The victim is Captain W. E Wilder Of
the Fourth Cavalry, and he reported the
affair at police headquarters yesterday.
He said he retired about 11:30 o'clock
Saturday night, leaving roll of bills
amounting to $3.50 and five checks for $3.50
on the mantel in his sitting room. About
$50 O'Clock yesterday morning he was
disagreeably surprised when he arose to
find that the roll of bills and the checks
had disappeared from the mantel. He
made q careful search OF the room. but
could find no trace of them, but pursu-
ing his Investigations he found the five
checks on the kitchen floor The burglars
had discarded them, preferring to take
only the currency.
''All the doors and windows In my quar-
ters, said the captain. were unlocked as
usual, as no one suspected for moment
that any one would dare to commit a
burglary in such place as the Preside,
but we were mistaken"
Captain BOhen detailed Detective L.
B. Gibson on the case, and he went TO the
Preside and made a close investigation of
the premises. He was unable to get a
clew to the burglars. but it is conf
IDENTIFY expected that they will yet be
discovered
There is strong suspicion that the
burglars were familiar with the interior
of the captains quarters. and knew
that he had the money and where it was
kept. They were also aware of the fact
that the windows and doors were un-
locked. If the burglars are connected
with the army it was a simple thing to
enter the house without attracting suspic-
ion, but If done from the outside 1t was
a most daring piece of work and none but
experts at the business would have at

Watson played a good game, and
besides doing more than his share with

looked heavenward every time a fly

The game was brought to a close at
the end of the first half of the sixth
inning, and the players and their
young male friends who watched the
contest tapped three kegs of very hot
beer and with the finish of the beer
and with the strains of "Will Ye Quaf

light haired youth who wanted to
make a hit with the ladies even if he
could not play ball, the rival teams

upon the floor The officers were sleep
ing upon cots and near at hand each had
laid his loaded revolver. This was not
all, for .the thief passed from the room
occupied by Captain Wilder and Lieu
tenant Frederick T. Arnold, through a
vacant room adjoining, into the room
occupied by Lieutenant George o. Cress,
rified the pocketbook of the officer, and
then retraced his steps through the
vacant room, out into the kitchen, where
he stopped to leave the checks as ana cap
tain Wilder'S watch before departing.
Granting that the man was IN MS
stocking feet, there were number or
articles about the rooms over when, uh.
might have stumbled in the dark. This
only adds to the mystery, for the officers
are light sleepers,. and are not accus-
fore it is highly probable that II the
thief had one it would have awakened
them.
clImstances considering the fact that
Captain Wilder says that he knows OF no
one whom he can suspect. me captain
arrived at the Preside on Friday. He
with the two lieutenants were assigned to
quarters in one of the Queen Anne cot
tages just to the east of the Alameda The
cottage faces upon the main roadway. On
the left and front is high cedar hedge.
On the right are the quarters of Captain
O'Hara. while in the rear the premises
slope down into the maze, from which
tus trees. Whoever committed the theft
took advantage of his knowledge of the
grounds surrounding the cottage, and be-
sides must of a necessity have been inti-
mately acquainted with the interior of the
house The thief must also have known
that Captain Wilder had the money upon
his person. and by some means this per-
son must have known exactly where the
officer placed the money when he retired.
Captain Wilder makes the following sue
cinct statement regarding the robbery:
II retired shortly after IL o'clock. In
the same room with me was Lieutenant
Arnold while Lieutenant CreSs was in an
adjoining room. When / retired | placed

upon a chair beside his cot. He only lost
a few dollars, while Lieutenant Arnold es-
capped for he placed his money and watch
under his pillow When l awoke in the
morning and looked for the money it was
gone A search of the premises revealed
the fact that the thief had left the checks
and the watch in the kitchen. This
showed that he did not want to take any
thing by which he could be traced. The
small change upon the left end of the
mantle was also untouched

thief left the cottage by the rear door
him TO escape by the maze
1t is most probable that the thief en-
tered by the front door There is fact
front door is a small hall with a door
opening from the left into the room where
the captain was sleeping. When the OIL
GERS retired this door was closed as far
as they can remember, while the one lead
ing into the vacant room that separated
their room from that OF Lieutenant Cress
Ieaalng into the hallway was opened,
While the one leading. into the vacant
room was closed. If he entered at the
front of the house the thief necessarily
must have passed entirely through the
house. To do this he must have been
familiar with it, for he must have known
tnat none OF the doors were locked Fur
tner, he must have seen Captain Wilder
place the money upon the mantel, for it is
not at all probable that he used a light.
Again. he took only the bills, not running
any risk of making a noise by gathering
up the silver.
Detective Gibson declares that the rob-
berry was committed by the seekest of
professionals, and If this be the case. then
the thief must have had an intimate
knowledge of Captain Wilder's affairs.
The mystery hinges upon the fact as TO
who was the person that possessed all the
necessary information required to commit
the robbery. From the diagram will be
seen the probable entrance and exit of the
thief. and also the danger that he ran of
awakening the sleeping officers. One. fact
is certain, and that is that the thief knew
positively that Captain Wilder had the
money upon his person when he entered
Of no one who had any knowledge of his
having this money upon his person, as he
had made no display of 1t. Lieutenant
Cress was fortunate in losing only a small
amount, but the fact that the thief en-
tered his room and went over to his cot.
which was in a far corner, only goes to
prove that the man has plenty of nerve.

The fair sex of Mira Monte wore a
sort of Tammie Shanter or "Hoot
Mon" hat made out of tissue paper
that certainly looked cool if it did not
suit everybody's complexion. The
ladies from Mount View were
decorated with red ribbons and smiles
of confidence
The Mount Views were first to the
bat and scored five runs in the first
inning but they became demoralized
at their successes and did not do any
good work again until the last innings,
when they prevented the Mira Monies
from adding to their score.
A gentleman named Ahpel who was
the proud possessor of the only base
ball suit in Ross Valley, played short
stop for the Mount Views, and when
not busy out in the field he was on
the line offering bad advice to his team
in regard to stealing bases, or trying
to intimidate the umpire.
Stanley Fay of Klondike fame
pitched a few innings for the Mount
Views, and standing from distance
a novice at the game would think that
he was going to throw a ton of coal
from his motions, but after he let
few of the Mira Monies take their
base on balls he was allowed TO jour
ney out to right field, and, among
