EAGAN CAUSES
GREAT DAMAGE
Invades Castle on Sum
NIT of Telegraph
Hill.

Mortimer Eagan created quite an ex-
element about IL o'clock last night in the
observatory building on the crest of Tel
egraph Hill, which is at present in charge
of Emile Vincent and his wife. The build
ing was formerly occupied as boarding
house for men employed by a contract
ing firm.
Vincent was absent last night when
Eagan made his appearance at the OBJ
servatory He knocked at the front door
but was denied admittance. He then went
around to the rear, found window that
was unfastened, and crawled in. He
went into the room occupied by Mrs
Vincent and proceeded to demolish every
thing in sight.
Eagan cut pictures from their frames,
overturned tables, and generally de-
stroyed the furniture. Mrs: Vincent
screamed and attracted the attention of
some of the neighbors, who notified the
police. Eagan saw shotgun in a corner
and Seizing it, pointed 1t at Mrs. Vincent
and commanded her to keep quiet. Mrs.
Vincent promptly did SO by falling in a
faint
When Policemen Silver and Gould re-
sponded to the call for help they found
that Eagan, shotgun in hand, had barri-
caded himself in the building and was
Impossible to get in at the front part of
the building, the police went around to
the rear and finding an open door, rushed
in and captured Eagan before he had
time to realizeAtha his new-found strong
hold had been carried by assault
The officers secured the shotgun after a
short resistance and handcuffed him They
left Mrs. Vincent, who was gradually re-
covering from her fright, in care of her
neighbors and sent Eagan to the City
Prison, where he was charged with dis
turbing the peace. Other charges NAV be
preferred against him to-day.

THIEVES KNOCK DOWN
AND ROB HENRY LoRENZ
Two Men Captured and Held on Sus-
picion Of Having Committed
the Crime.

Henry Lorenz, 7S Green street, was
knocked down and robbed on Powell
street while crossing O'Farrell about 8
o'clock yesterday morning. Policeman
Braig heard him groan and saw three
men running across Powell street. He
gave chase and followed one of them
down Stockton. The fugitive ran into the
arms of Policeman Robl. The man gave
the name of John Murphy. Policeman
Sylvester about the same time stopped a
man who was running along O'Farrell
street, who gave the name of ]. McCon-
ley.
The officers with their prisoners re-
turned to the O'Farrell-street crossing and
found Lorenz lying on the ground. He
soon recovered consciousness and said he
had been struck from behind. He had
been drinking and was on his way home
His gold chain and locket and about 81
which he had in his pocket had been
stolen, but his silver watch was in his
vest pocket. He was sent to the Re
ceiving Hospital, where a confusion on
his chin was dressed. Murphy and Nc
Conley were locked up in the tanks"
pending an investigation.
Nothing was found on McConley when
searched at the City Prison, but Murphy
had 81 65 and room key in his pockets.

Mothers Mind Gives Way.
All hope for the safety of their fve-
year-old son Cyrus A. Waller, has been
abandoned by his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Waller of Ross Valley, and the
mothers mind has been seriously affected.
Mrs. Waller, her daughter Ruth and little
son Cyrus were passengers on the San
Rafael. Mrs. Waller and her daughter
were saved, but little Cyrus was evidently
swept overheard.
For time there was a belief that the
f1ve-year-old boy picked UP by w. A.
Beedy. Miss Fannie Shoobert and Mrs.
Olive Hamilton was the missing child. All
night long the father and mother lived in
hope that it might be. Mrs. Hamilton took
charge Of the little one who was so
strangely thrown upon her hands, and so
soon as possible took him to her Sausalito
home.
Last Hope Dispelled.
Bright and early yesterday morning
Waller started out on his search, and
finally located Mrs. Hamilton. He was
shown the clothing worn by the lad and
at once said it was not that of his son. At
last the search was abandoned and the
dread news was broken to the distracted
mother.
Overcome by the excitement Of the pre-
vious night and distracted at the lack of
news of her missing son Mrs. Waller was
in a state of nervous collapse all day. But
when came the dread news that no fur

EXPL AIMS
TULE FOG
Unique Vapors Appear
All Over Pacific
Coast.
Hang Like a Blanket
Over the Sea and
Land.
Mariners Should Take
Warning of the
Danger.

hwA HE unusual density of the fog
81 of Saturday evening, in which
81 the San Rafael was sent to the
81 bottom of the bay, was the sub
ject of considerable speculation
yesterday. Old residents declared
that the like of the fog had never
been seen by them in California before
and in some respects this was true. The
fog was what is known as a tule, or
meteorological phenomenon it often
reaches a thickness of from 100 to 500
feet and extends over a vast territory.
Alexander G. McAdie, forecast official
of the Weather Bureau, who is an ex-
pert on the subject of fogs, gave a sci
tenifc explanation Of the dense one of
Saturday night to a Call reporter yester-
day. He said he had watched it's COM
ing with interest and early on Saturday
realized that it would be Of a character
full of menace to shipping on the bay.
Bulletins were accordingly issued to that
effect. Resuning, he said:
THE fog was an unusually thick one,
and extended from this city to Red Bluff,
Sacramento, Fresno and Santa Barbara.
It was about 100 feet thick. 1t was a
tule fog, formed by the condensation of
water vapor in the lower level of the air.
This moist air, in coming in contact with
a slow-moving current of cold air, was
condensed, thereby producing a fog
through which it was difficult if not i'm
possible to distinguish objects twenty feet
away. The primary cause Of the fog was
an area of high pressure over Nevada.
This pressure was blocked in that section,
and when it began to move it moved
very slowly toward the coast. When it
reached this section the fog resulted.
Indications received to-day tend to
show that the stagnation in the air cur
culation is breaking and that there will
be no fog after tomorrow. The chances
of rain within the next twenty-four hours
are excellent. There was no fog at Point
If any one had got into a balloon at
o'clock yesterday afternoon he would
have been suspended at 500 feet elevation
over fog blanket above which the sun
was shining brilliantly. If the ferry
boats the bay were provided with
masts seventy-five feet high the chances
are that a lookout thereon would be well
above the fog and well able to distinguish
the proximity of vessels with equally high
masts. 1 have seen several fogs as thick
as that of Saturday night during my res
idence here, but fortunately nothing oc-
Cured to make them memorable. We may
expect them at any time, and particularly
in January, which will prove to be the
most dangerous month by reason of their
presence for the shipping the bay

disturbance. Aldrich and Race attacked
him and he received a bad cut about four

T<aaE news Of the wreck of Of the . San
81 excitement at Mill Valley. Fully
81 forty residents of the little town
IS were known to have been aboard
the sunken vessel and friends and
relatives of the passengers who
were not Immediately accounted for went
nearly wild with anxiety. AS those who
had escaped returned they were met at
the station by almost the whole popula-
ton of the village and besieged with ques-
t1ons. Most Of those who were expected
to arrive on the San Rafael were ac-
counted for Saturday night, but several
were not heard from until yesterday. Late
last night it was finally decided by the
townspeople that no one from the Valley
had been lost
Miss 1. Diffenbach, Miss Sallie Boyle
and Frank Loyez were those for whom
the greatest concern was felt, but all
three were found to have been rescued,
although the last named had a very mar
row escape He stayed aboard the doomed
vessel until the water reached to his
knees. A rope was at last flung to him,
and he had just time to wind it about
his arm when the San Rafael sank. He
was dragged aboard the Sausalito in an
almost unconscious condition as a result
of having been battered with some of the
loose wreckage. His right arm and side
were quite seriously injured, but he was
able to be removed to Mill Valley last
night.
Mrs. A. R. Tuckey and infant daughter
were reported among the drowned and
the most diligent inquiry revealed no
trace of their whereabouts 1t was
learned yesterday, however, by the half
crazed husband that they had been taker
from the water and were at the home Of
a relative in this city. Mr.. Tuckey came
to San Francisco and found them both
alive and well except that the wife was

with which treatment was given her the
attending physicians deem her situation
very grave.
Every effort is being made by the father
to recover the body, and in order to slim
ulate the search he has offered a reward
of SIS. The boy was dressed in navy
blue sailor suit trimmed with white
braid, and wore black shoes and stock
ings. The child was Of light complexion,
with light hair, trimmed short.

as a janitor in the Hibernia Bank. Mrs

Had Variety of Eatableg in Pockets

An unknown woman apparently be-

in a dying condition last night at the
corner of Ellis and Jones streets, and was
started for the Receiving Hospital. She
died before reaching there and her body
was sent to the Morgue. When her cloth
ing was searched a queer collection of
cts on the inside of her dress. In one
was part of a cooked chicken, in another
dozen eggs, in a third a loaf of bread
and in the fourth the cover of a milk
can. Her death is supposed to have been
due to 1aatural causes.
