CHICAGO RUNS ASHORE
IN SAN FRANCISCO BAY
THEN COMES INTO COLLISION
WITH BENNINGTON
Admiral Goodrlch's Flagship Runs on
Angel Island While Towing Dis
abed Gunboat, and When Finally
Got off Drifts Across Her Bows
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. T.-The
cruiser Chicago, flagship of the Pacific
squadron, flying the flag of Admiral
Goodrich, went aground close to the
light house and fog signal station on
Angel island in this harbor today. She
came up from San Diego with the dis
abled gunboat Bennington in tow and
accompanied by her navy tug Fortune.
On entering the harbor she steered
for the Mare Island navy yard by way
of Raccoon straits. A strong ebb tide
was running and in the current the
tow line on which the Bennington was
trailing parted. The Chicago was then
hugging close to the Angel island shore
to keep as much out of the current as
possible. When the tow line gave way
she took a sudden sheer for the land
and before her headway could be
stopped she ran her bows UP on the
beach.
The Bennington on her momentum
sailed up close to the stern of the
stranded vessel before her anchors
took hold. Then she swung to the cur
rent safe but dangerously close to the
rocky beach of the island.
The tug Fortune soon got line to the
Chicago and succeeded in pulling her
clear of the bottom, but when she came
off she took a sheer that sent her
straight for the anchored Bennington.
The current of the tide carried her
down across the bows of the anchored
vessel and there was a smashing of
metal when they came together. Then
the two vessels, afoul of each other,
went drifting on the tide. The Ben
nington slipped her cables to get out
of the way when the Chicago came for
her, and the current carried them we'll
back into the bay before they drifted
apart.
Both of the war vessels were consid-
erably damaged.

EXPRESS BOX

UntlmeIy Appearance Of
Private Teams
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN MATEO, CAL, Aug T-Thc
stage running between Half-moon
Bay and San Mateo was held up by Il
masked robber, armed with a rifle, on
the Crystal Springs road about two
miles from San Mateo about 8 o'clock
this morning. The driver was ordered
to throw out the mail pouch and the
Wells, Fargo & Cos. express bax and,
when he hesitated was threatened
with death.
One of the passengers was ordered
to pass the hat, but while doing so
another team came along and the rob-
ber ordered the stage to proceed with
out taking the contents of the hat. In
addition to the driver there were four
passengers, one being lady who was
not molested. The robber resented the
arrival of the other team, taking three
shots at its driver, none of which took
effect.
The county officers formed a posse
and are now in pursuit Of the robber
The broken express box was found
but he took the mail bag with him.
The robber weighed about 1S0 pounds,
was six feet tall and wore black cap,
overcoat and blue overalls. His face
was covered with a black mask. 1t is
reported that the contents of the ex-
press box were valued at about 1926,
but no definite statement is obtainable.
On the front seat with the driver
was o. Olsen, a travelling salesman for
Langley &c Michaels of San Fran
cisco, and inside were Miss A. ]. john
son and ]. c. Santos of Half Moon
Bay and Peter julie and Ralph Roosen
of San francisco. The robber ordered
Santos to pass the hat. Santos does
was slow to obey. Prodded by the
robber and threatened with death he
complied. A small amount of coin
was collected but Olsen, who had $95
in gold, fumbled around. Just then
an express wagon, driven by e. Ber-
telotte, came around the bend and the
robber ordered the stage to proceed.
saying he would shoot If anyone
looked around. RA
Angered at Bertelottes arrival the
robber took shot at him. Bertelotte
jumped from the seat and ran UP the
road. The robber pursued him, firing
two more shots. After the stage and
express wagon had gone he broke open
the boxes on the roadside. During the
operation another team appeared and
he scampered into the brush that lines
the road, taking the mail bag.
Davis Bros, who own the stage line,
carry a private box in addition to
Wells, Fargo's. The agent of the ex-
press company at Half Moon Bay says
neither contained anything of value
The mail bag has not yet been recov-
cred.
Detective ]. w. Thacker of Wells,
Fargo & Co., has gone to the scene
of the holdup to investigate the rob-
berry and take up the trail of the
bandit. He stated today that the box
stolen was not Wells Fargo's.
This is the second time the Half
Moon Bay-San Mateo stage has been
held up and at about the same spot.
