STOP PROGRESS OF
GRASS FIRE.
Soldiers and Citizens Fight
Blaze That Creeps Menac-
ingly Toward Sausalito
EXCITEMENT is GREAT
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.


sAUSALITO, Sept. 16.-The citizens
were greatly alarmed this afternoon by
the appearance of a grass fire, which
threatened homes in Old Sausalito and
wildwood Glen, and for a while the
residents of those sections were ex-
cited. This evening the IRE was under
control and confined TO one place.
Fire and church bells were rung. hre-
fighting posses were Immediately or
ganized and the Fire Department haul
ed the chemical engine up the steep
hill to the house closest to the ad-
vancing fire. The chemical engines
were not wanted. as the men checked
the flames. Luckily there was hardly
a breath OF air on the Sausalito side OF
the hills. The fire started at 3 this
afternoon on the GfoH ranch. mile
northeast OF Point Bonita, west OF the
Fort Baker reservation and three miles
southwest OF Sausa1ito- With a south
westerly wind blowing from the ocean
the fire spread rapidly and was not
long in reaching the summit or the
high hills back Of Sausalito and tnvad-
ing the Government reservation Lieu
tenant Carrigan OF the Sixty eighth
Company Infantry and Lieutenant
Jones OF the Sixty-hrst. each with sew

fought the IRE. After the blaze was
under control they withdrew, leaving
a squad on watch A Nunez, the lessee
of the ranch. impressed all the avail
able men to do hre-nghting and came
here and returned with bus load OF
men. Mayor Jacques Thomas was
very active in securing fre-hghters. BY
back k-firing the progress Of the blaze
was stayed. Several hundred acres OF
grass was burned.

Rugby Squad at Berkeley Is Leaning
English Game Under Dr.. Taylor.
Interclass Games
Will Try Out
Material.

BERKELEY, Sept 16.-Fleet-footed
chaps, industriously engaged in speed
ing down the length of the old foot
ball field on the university campus, the
while they swiftly pass the pigskin to
each other backward and forward con-
stitute these days one of the novel
spectaeles for the delectation of vis-
itors 10 the university grounds.
The flying fellows are Rugby foot
bail men. Their game of passing the
ball is one Of the fine points of the
new sport which Berkeley athletes are
learning. BY the time the first pre-
liminary game Of the season is called
next Tuesday afternoon the men will be
proficient enough in this and other
fair showing, If the opinions of those
who are keeping tab on the proceed
ings is worth anything.
DIR. oscar Taylor, the doughty little
coach who is drilling Rugby principles
into the squad. is not disconnected with
the outlook for his men. The voice of
the croaker who yells apathy and
INSTRUMENTATION" does not seem to dis
turb Coach Taylor. He will probably
win out. as coaches of the right sort
generally do, and persuade a hundred
varsity lads that they never really
were happy without Rugby.
Taylor has from 20 to 100 men out
for practice nearly every day. The
field looks strangely unfamiliar to the
students and the. old grads" who know
nothing except the old American style
of playing. To these spectators, as to
almost all others, the passing of the
ball while trio of men are in mo-
ton down the field appeals as the fea-
ture Of the game best calculated to in
sure spectacular play.
Next Tuesday the juniors and seniors
viii give the crowd on the campus an
idea of what progress has been made
in the game, and Coach Taylor will
then have the best opportunity he has
yet found to discover what sort of ma
terial is in his squad. Three days
after that the freshmen and sopho-
mores viii do battle on the field. The
preliminary games are to be prac-
tically all interclass affairs. The
schedule thus far arranged is as fol-
lows:
September IS, juniors VS.. seniors.
September 21. freshmen VS.. sopho-
mores.
September 25, juniors VS.. sophomores.
September %. freshmen VS.. seniors
October 2, seniors VS.. sophomores.

October II, freshmen intercollegiate.

40 years of age. former real estate
dealer, who resided with his wife at

the body of the suicide stretched at the
edge Of the sidewalk with blood gush-
ing from a wound in the right side of
the head. Deputy Coroner A. A. Ear

REDWOOD CITY, Sept. 16.-Buildfng
of cozy homes throughout the entire
county is more active at the present
time than has been known for many
years. The demand for carpenters and
tradesmen of all kinds has become so
noticeable that many who have con-
templated building have done nothing
further than purchase a lot and will
wait until spring. when 1t is hoped that
labor will be more plentiful and the
rush necessitated by the San Francisco
fire will be over.
Within the last few weeks many
new homes have sprung UP in the new
territory of this city, which includes
Wellesley Park, the Robinson Addition
and the Schroeder Tract, while along
the Woodside road numerous one-acre
lots have changed hands and many
cozy little homes built. The foothills
near town are becoming quite popular
as country homes.

Land Company was Incorporated with
a capital stock of $4,000. 1t has al
ready purchased the John Meyer tract
of twenty-one acres, which will be sub
divided at once and sold
Among the many cottages that are
going UP at the present time is that of

only to find that the lots they had
picked out had been sold during the
