ANOTHER ROMANCE
IN COLLEGE TOWN
Mrs. Frank Ashton An
nOunces Her Secret Mar
riage to Augustus Monroe

BERKELEY. Oct. S.-Mrs. Frank
Ashton. in whose divorce suit three
years ago a lot Of love letters from
Rear Admiral Merry. L. s NJ. were in
trOdueed. gave society in the college
town a surprise today by announcing
that she was secretly married to Au-

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.
REDWOOD CITY. Oct. s.--At a spe-
cial meeting of the Board OF Super
visors of San Mateo County held here
today Sheriff Mansfield was authorized
10 hire all the available men about the
town and send them TO the scene or
the forest fire which has been raging
in the mountains west of here for the
last four days Several hundred men
have already been sent from the diff
ferent mills and towns in the district,
but these have proven insufficient TO
cope with the fierce names which jump
from tree top to tree top and over the
small burned patches which were set
by the volunteers in an effort to check
the confagration.
Facts of the fire were brought to
the attention of the Supervisors by
Supervisor John McBain. who stated
he visited the scene OF the fire yester-
day and found the flames still un-
checked and the men worn out and
unable to cope with them longer. AT
that time he said. the flames were
confined TO the Virginia Gulch. but he
has since received message by spe-
cial carrier stating that the flames have
got out Of the gulch and are now
upon the edge of the King ranch.
The entire force is now being con-
runs near the top of the ridge about
two miles from the fire. and an effort
will be made to check the advance Of
the flames by back firing" from the
road Every available man has been
pressed into service and men are as
sembling on the road from all parts
of the county.
As soon as McBain returned last
nj ght a hurry call for volunteers was
made and forty men, under the direc-
tion of Frank p. Roach and Under
Sheriff Henry F. Butts. Were armed
with shovels, hoes and axes and sent
to join the volunteer forces in a last
effort TO keep the FIRE from crossing
tl;t top OF the ridge and destroying the
little village of La Honda
The heat is so intense that IL is i'm
possible for the men TO get anywhere
near the flames and thus far all at
tempts at back firing have proven
failures. Ii is said that a strip six
miles long and five miles wide of the
best timber lands in the mountains has
been laid bare by the flames. and un-
less the fire can be checked at the
road there is no telling where it will
stop. Thousands of the large redwood
trees have been burned. The damage
done by the fire cannot be estimated
at the present time.
