MY TRIP TO THE SEASHORE.


Some years ago l went to the seashore. 1t
being the first time that had ever seen the
ocean 1 enjoyed looking at the big waves
and watching the bathers. l was not more
than five years old. and when they wanted
me to go out In the surf l was afraid and
would not go out far enough for the water
to reach my knees. But there were good
times on the boardwalk and piers, also
digging In the sand. The merry-go-r round
was what l liked best OF all, for l had a
ride on 1t every day and some days three
rides. Then there were two mirrors on one
of the piers that when you looked in them
they made you seem very, very fat. l went
on the scenic railroad" and as 1t was the
first time. 1 was very much afraid, for 1t
went so fast and had to hold on so tight
Then there was the dear little ponies, on
which l had a ride along the beach. l also
went to the top Of the lighthouse, which
had winding stairs and il you looked down
you would become dizzy. because it was
such a height On the new steel PIER they
had little train of that went by
steam up and down the pier on dear little
tracks. l went on it and enjoyed 1t very
much. l saw cOlored people dancing the
cake walk and lots Of other things of
interest. We went way up the beach and
gathered lots of curious shells. One very
exciting thing happened to me. 1t was early
in the morning and we were on the beach.
l. seeing an empty box on the shore near
wave came and carried 1t little ways out,
My. 1 was scared and just got out in time
before another wave came in. l was afraid
to go out far in the water and when my
uncle tried to teach me to swim, l did not
want to stay SO far out, SO started to run
for the beach not thinking of the waves
coming behind me and quite large one
came and knocked me down. then l had q
good ducking.

ELUDE PURSUERS.
Escaped COnvicts Appear to Be
Masters of the Situation.

Placerville, Cal. July 31.-Although
hundreds of heavily armed men are
now engaged in the search for the
twelve surviving prisoners who escaped
from the Folsom prison on Monday
morning. the outlaws remain masters
of the situation. They have succeeded
IN eluding their pursuerS and the ulti-
mate escape of at least portion of the
gang seems highly probable. Since the
fatal fight at Pilot Hill on Monday
night in which one of the convicts
was killed the others have not been
seen, unless the story of VIM. Green, a
cowboy. who says he met two armed
men in Placer county today and after
as a couple Of the outlaws, proves to
be true. Even this affords but a slight
cleW though it is being followed by the
officers The conviction Is growing the
fleeing men are headed for the Sierra
Nevada mountains and are being aided
by ex-convicts who reside along the
route. The people through this section
of the state are greatly alarmed, not
withstanding the presence of many
peace officers and a company of militia.
Those residing in isolated localities are
in daily dread of attack by the fugi-
tives who are believed to be short of
food and ammupition.
Sacramento. Cal, July 31.-J. w.
Woods, the leader of the escaped con-
victs. is said by the prisoners here to
have been a soldier with the u. s. reg
ulars in the Philippines. According to
their story. he. deserted from the fed
eral troops and Joined the Filipinos.
He was regarded as a hero among the
convicts. who say he was once sur
rounded by detachment of troops anc
managed to break through their lines
at night and gathering a force of Fill
pinos captured the u. S. soldiers and
had them shot to death. Later Woods
was captured and tried by a mixed
court martial on a charge of desertion
and aiding the enemy. He was con-
victed. but the secretary of war disap-
proved of the findings for the reason
that Woods being a regular could not
be held by the decision of a mixed
court martial BY some means or other
Woods was never tried again and he
returned to America. It is said he led
the Filipinos in many encounters and
is thoroughly familiar with the tactics
OF guerilla warfare.
