Son of Countess Who Was ExiIed as

France Refuses to Dis

SAN DIEGO, Sept. Ain compliance
with his dying request, a member of
the French nobility, who shrouded his
real identity under the name of John
Strube, was buried at sea just off Point
Iona this afternoon.
Strube, who died here Thursday, was
born in the province of Alsace, France.
December A, 1878. His mother was a
countess. What title his father held.
or who he was, Strube would never tell.
In 1852 a political intrigue drove Stru-
be into exile in this country. He en-
gagged in the Civil War as a soldier In
the northern army, and later came to
San Diego.
The funeral services at sea were held
under the auspices Of Datus H. Coon
post, G. A. r., and consisted merely of
the heavily weighted body being low
cred over the side of the launch and
consigned to the ocean.

SEA Uttered WITH
MANY DEAD FISHES
SHIP REPORTS AN UNUSUAL
SIGHT IN OCEAN
Finny Tribes Of All Varieties and
Sizes Found Floating on the
Waves Near Point
Arena

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. ACCORD
ing to the report of the barkentine City
of Papeete, which arrived here yester-
day, the sea near Point Arena was
literally covered with dead fish when
the vessel passed that part OF the
coast.
The Papeete was sailing along over
comparatively smooth sea when she
ran into a shoal of dead fish, large and
small, and apparently of all varieties
The crew of the barkentine was in
clined to attribute the presence of the
fish, which had evidently succumbed
only a few hours before, to seismic
disturbances.
But seafaring men, who heard the
story and who know the recent wreck
of the steamer Winnebago, said that
the presence of the mass of dead fish
was probably due to the breaking UP
of the fuel tanks of the wrecked YES
sci and the consequent escape of large
quantities of crude oil into the sea.

ESCONDIDO, Sept. 4.-Escondido 4.

8. to the people OF Southern and Lower
California who accept its invitation to
the second anniversary of Grape day
The day is also the fifth anniversary of
the burning Of the irrigation bonds,
whose issue unuer the Wright irriga-
ton act resulted in period of depres-
sion for the valley. The city has ar
ranged to take care of between 5000
and 1000 persons for the day, most of
whom will come from San Diego and
Los Angeles, and promises good time
to all visitors.
Guests will be met at the Santa Fe
depot on arrival of the special trains,
and after being decorated with hand
some souvenir badges they will be tax
en- for drives through the valley, visit
ing the vineyards and some of the
citrus orchards.
A portion of the day will be devoted

The local churches are assisting the
hotels and restaurants in the work OF
feeding the multitudes, and the indica-
tions are that none will go hungry, al
though there likely will be more per
sons in Escondido than ever before IN
it's history.
Valley Is Exceedingly Fertile
Escondido is one of the most fertile
valleys of Southern California, and is
known as the "hidden vale" this being
the meaning of the word "escondido."
When the Escondido Land and Town
company bought the grant in 1886, then
known as Rincon del Diablo, 1t was
nothing more than a sheep pasture OF
$4,000 acres. The only frame house on
the ranch was that which had been
built by John Wolfskill, former own
e,. of the property. For years the only
store was the wooden shack on the
corner of Lime street and Grand ave-
nue., owned by Tom Adams. Develop
ment of the valley was slow until after
the completion in 1888 of the Santa Fe
branch line from Oceanside, twenty
two miles distant, on the ocean front.
The CITY and the country grew rapidly
from that time. In 1894 the property
under the Wright act, issuing bonds and
under the Wright act, isuing bonds and
establishing plant at a cost of $3.50, 600,
taking the water from the head of San
Luis Rey river, twenty-five miles east
OF the city, and bringing 1t to a big
reservoir by means of fumes and tun-
nels.
Progress, however was retarded by
the operation of the system, and in
1908 the people were enabled to get rid
of it by the liquidation Of the bonds on
the basis of so cents on the dollar.
After this was dose the land owners
formed q mutual company, which has
since managed the water affairs of the
valley.
