SHERIFF UNABLE TO

Returns From Pursuit of Man
Who Robbed WinsIow

slow, the deaf mute who was assaulted
by a fend armed with an ak at Sunol,
was engaged to marry Mrs. Mary
Blackburn, also deaf and mute who
lives at 1879 McAllister street, San
Francisco Winslow had sold his vine
yard. and was making final arrange
ments TO remove to San Francisco and
settle down when the attack was made
upon him. The couple had been en-
gagged for several years, but Mrs.
Blackburn's objections to life on a
ranch had delayed their plans.
When Winslow finally sold his place
he was compelled to spend several days
at Sunol. and while sleeping in a room
fitted UP in a tankhouse he was at
tackled and robbed by a man with
whom he had shared his lodgings
Sheriff Barnet, with Deputy Sheriffs
Jack Sherry and Burt Brown, who
spent several days searching for a sus-
pect named Klein, who had lodged with
Winslow, returned today. Barnet said
that Klein had made his escape without
leaving a clew, and was probably so
far away that the chance of picking
him up was very small Investigations
made during his stay at Sunol showed
that the assailant had secured a certifi-
cate of deposit for $1,000, which wi1-
slow was known to have carried upon
his person, and receipt for $500 cash.
This probably will be useless to the
robber
Mrs. Blackburn said that Winslow
had two cousins at Martinez with whom
he had been at outs, and that she had
nursed his mother during her last i'll
ness.
Winslow's condition since the opera
tion for a fractured skull was per-
formed Wednesday night has remained
unchanged.

The Starr Wave Motor Solves Problem
Of Cheap Power-Wonderful
Investment Opportunity

The day has come when we must have
more power, cheaper power. The bar
rels of oil, the tons of coal, the acres of
timber now being consumed for the pro-
duction of power are fast being ex-
hauSted. Some other method of Great
ing power must be devised. History
shows that the development OF commo-
dities and utilities comes with the ex-
istence of a demand for them. The de-
mand for cheap, accessible power is
now here, and Mr.. Fred Starr is the
discovered it. His invention is the
Starr Wave Motor. world famous as one
of the greatest inventions of the age.
AS vessels rise and fall on the ocean by
the terrific power of the waves, SO with
the Starr Wave Motor. A large barge
of many thousand tons capacity, NOV
ing UP and down. conveys the motion to
a shaft operating in one direction,
where it becomes power Connected to
this shaft is an ingenious device con-
sisting of continuous rolling weights,
which become the medium for produc-
ing static power. One of the most i'm
portant parts of the Starr Wave Motor,
which makes the wheels and shafts of
the power plant reyolve in one direc-
ton, is the Starr Patent Roller Clutch,
one of the most remarkable inventions
of this century. The field of utilization

isms such as the Sewing Machine the
