4 OAKLAND. April 6.-Alameda and
Contra Costa counties are going to
dwell in sweet harmony at the Worlds
Fair at st. Louis. The interests of the
two counties are identical, their in
dustrial and commercial advantages
are the same and their mineral and
agricultural products are alike, and so
it has been decided by the local com
missioners of the two counties that
they would work together. This has
been done and the commissioners
have gone to st. Louis together to in
stall an exhibit, all the material of
which was shipped at one time. The
commissioners from Alameda County
are Theodore Gier, w. H. Weilbye and
Wilbur Walker; the commissioner
from Contra Costa County is H. c.
Raap, County Tax Collector, and the
gentleman who will have the exhibit
in charge during the fair is Webb n.
Pierce of Oakland.
The commissioners have been at
work for several months collecting ex-
hibits, preparing literature and secur-
ing headquarters that will be not only
depository for the products of the
two counties, but will serve as head
quarters for the people from Alameda
and Contra Costa counties who will
visit the fair. This was done through
the efforts of W. II. Weilbye, who is
an architect and builder, and he was
the one who prepared the design and
will superintend its construction. The
building will be done in st. Louis.
This exhibit is very comprehensive.
1t covers the varied industries and
products of the two counties and filled
four cars, three from Alameda County
and one from Contra Costa.
The Alameda County exhibit in
cludes 400 jars of cereals, 240 jars of
fruit, seventy cases of preserved fruits
and jams, barrels of corn, beans and
barley and nuts of various kinds and
other agricultural products. The in
teresting and unusual exhibits made
will be those from the great salt fields
of Mount Eden, the hop fields of
Pleasanton and the nurseries of Niles.
These are all in miniature, but are
very unusual. There are samples of
the mining industries of Alameda
manganese and quicksilver from near
Livermore, and pottery clay, glass and
glass sand from Tesla.
The Contra Costa exhibit is COM
prised of fruit, grains. grapes and
wines and various mineral products,
in which the county abounds.
The wine exhibit will be particularly
fine. the best varieties from the Liver
more Valley, the old Mission San Jose
and the Ignacio and Alhambra valleys
being utilized.
1t is claimed that for variety OF
products this will be one of the finest
to be seen at st. Louis. There will be
plenty of literature, hundreds upon
hundreds of photographs, files of the
California papers, and a welcome for
all.

TELLS HOW Men
ATTACKED HIM
William Sherwood Receivers
From Blow Dealt Him by
Bold Thugs at Midnight
STRIKE FROM THE REAR
People Fear Another Reign
of Terror i'm Town Guarded
by Only Three Policemen
Berkeley Office Sam Francisco Call,
214S Center Street, April 6.

214S Center Street, April 6.
William J. Sherwood, the instructor
at the University of California who
was sandbagged by two thugs at mid
night last night, recovered sufficiently
from the shock of his experience to-
day to give a more detailed account
of the attack upon him. Sherwood
was so dazed. after the attack that he
fell unconscious after walking block
toward his home. and at first 1t was
thought that his skull had been frac-
tured Fortunately it turned out that
the blow only caused a deep incision
of the scalp.
Il met the two fellows at Bancroft
and Fulton streets on my way to the
postoiiice,'' he said to-day. When
repassed the corner 1 saw only one
man. He advanced toward me with
a pistol in his hand. Just then was
struck from behind by man l had
not seen. l can't recall whether the
man with the pistol said anything or
not until 1 told him to get away.
Then he said. Keep still; keep STILL
Some people came along then and
scared the men away. They had not
had a chance to rob me. 1 walked
a block toward my home, but fell at
Fulton street and Durant avenue,
and remembered nothing more until
| found myself at home again"
This is the first real hold-up that
has taken place in Berkeley for a
long time. There is some fear that it
means the repetition of the reign of
terror of a year ago, when people
were held up every night or so. The
attack on Sherwood indicates that the
highwaymen would not stop at muir
der. With only three policemen to
guard this town of 10000 people the
thugs may have moonlight picnic
any time they choose.
