HORSE THIEVES
ARE CAPTURED

Deputy Sheriff Geo. Boggs ret
urned Monday from his trip on
Box Elder and brought back
with him Bryon Ball and VIM.
Bradshaw, the two fellows who
a week ago Tuesday night
broke into VIM. Freezes hard
ware store and stole 5 six shoot
ers, a bride, some bits and other
small articles, and also a
mare belonging to VIM. Owens,
the livery man.
After leaving here the fellows
started across country, persum-
ably trying to reach the Wyom-
ing line. Saturday evening
they turned the mare loose that
they stole from VIM. Owens and
proceeded to catch another at
Williams place about Is miles
above the Hasknife horse camp.
From here they also succeeded in
getting away with a bed and
some other articles such as sad
die blankets, eatables and etc.
Mr.. Williams discovered his
loss soon after it was taken and
set on the trail of the thieves.
In the morning he found them
sleeping down in a draw some
distance from his place and on
arriving he proceeded to display
a little artillery action and let
them know that their work had
gone far enough. Bradshaw did
not like the fire works" and
endeavored to reach for his auto
matte, but after a little warning
he cooled down and they both
surrendered. Mr.. Boggs was
only about z miles behind on
their trail when they were cap
tured and would have succeeded
in getting them himself the next
day had not Mr.. Williams showed
up. All the stolen articles have
been returned and the prisoners
were taken to Miles Tuesday
morning where they will be
given chance to explain them
selves to the court.

in getting to End base. The End
inning for Crook netted them
2 more runs, the Soxs scoring
one, the third netted Crook 2
more and we scored two, then
the Ekalaka team switched their
pitcher Conger to left field and
brought in their high school boy
to do the slab work, and for five
innings those Crook boys were at
his mercy. His support for
those five innings were perfect,
there being a putout and assist
by right fielder and manager
Metheny in the first of the game.
The real fire work" for the
White Sox came in the last half

The first sale of the Ekalaka
Horse Sale Company which was
due to occur at their yards here
last Thursday and Friday was
somewhat of a disappointment to
the managers on account Of the
bad weather which had been in
evident for several days past.
Old Jupiter Pluribus" pulled his
cork in the evening Of the first
day and within a few minutes
the streets were all running with
water. Previous to the arrival
of the rain, several broncho
busting 'stunts" were pulled off
by riders who happened to be
here and from the audience that
gathered on the street to wit
ness them one would have
thought that a circus had hit
town. Several horse races, foot
races, jumping contests, a wres-
tling match and many other
small events kept the town
alive" during the three days
and everyone seemed we'll sat
is6ed that old "Puptown' was a
up and DOING.
Four dances were given during
the week, the first being
free" affair that was given by
June G. Olsen, the second, the
the grand ball by Canton Custer
No. 6, the third by town folks
and the last on Saturday eve
ming by the orchestra. Good
crowds were in attendance a all
of the hops" and everyone
seemed well pleased with the
treatment accorded them. The
grand ball by Canton Custer No.
g., was the largest attended and
the lodge boys We're we'll paid
for their work. Ice cream, cake
and coffee was served in the
rear Of the hall during this
occasian by J. E. Wilson which
added materially to the evenings
enjoyment.
The Camp Crook bail team ar
rived on Friday evening, to do
battle with the Ekalaka White
Socks with confidence written on
their countcnence and smiles
covering their manly faces, as
they thought what they would
do to those poor ball tossers of
old ''pup-town'. Headed by

warriors of the field, McGuffin

Cheatwood, also (as the ladies
Of Ekalaka called that fast left

think it necessary to bring their
strongest team, but they have
another think a coming, for what
those White Socks did not do to
that old indian pitcher is hard to
tell. The first game was called
at 2:20 Saturday with Crook at

DISASTER MEANS TO
ASiATIC LONG EXILE
FROM NATIVE LAND

One of the passengers who felt his
loss keenly was X. Ohashi, a young
Japanese who took the st. CroiX for
the first stage in journey back to his
native land. He had passage on the
steamer Manchuria, leaving San Fran
cisco tomorrow for Yokohama, and
three trunks and two suitcases carried
all his belongings, representing his
savings in America. Ohashi boarded
the st. Croix at San Pedro radiant
with the hope of seeing his native land
and his kinsfolk. Yesterday afternoon
he trudged back along the Malibu
ranch road, thinking all along the fif
teen miles that he would be compelled
to begin his battle in America all over
and postpone his sight of home perhaps
for years.
When the passengers were called to
the boats, Ohashi was ordered in with
no time to get his ticket to Yokohama
or any of his effects from his suitcases.
He landed on the beach practically
with only the clothing on his back.
The fog when it lifted as the boats
backed from the burning ship disclosed
to him not the blazing hulk, but the
cremation of his hopes of home; to
him the flames spelled plainly the i'm
position of sentence of an exile from
his native land until he might work
back an entirely new financial indie
pendence.
1t was evident that Ohashi felt the
dashng of his hopes most keenly, but
outwardly he was philosophically and
stoically Japanese. While the Ameri-
can men around him swore vigorously
cursing their luck, Ohashi silently con-
templated the fire. "Well! Well!" was
his only expletive.
'I thought to take the train" he
said, but l had three trunks and it
was cheaper on the steamer. Now
am losing everything, and l do not
know that l can recover any damage.
l had paid for passage on the Man
churia to Yokohama-now that is all
gone.'

outboard on its davits. An instant
later the occupants Of the boat were
precipitated into the sea.
Driven back by the swirl of human
ity, Mrs. Robinson was forced to the
port side of the ship, where she was
forthwith bundled into a life-boat and
was soon ahoat with no knowledge of
the whereabouts of the mother of the
child she held in her arms.
few minutes later when the life
boats were marshaled by Captain
Warner, Mrs. Robinson and the mother
of the children spied each other and
exchanged mutual exclamations of de-
light.
Mrs. Robinson probably was one of
the coolest and bravest of all the he
roic women on board the ship, yet she
doubtless would disclaim any such at
tributes; In fact she had considerable
amusement in relating the antics of a
man on board who displayed weakness
worse than cowardice.
Mrs. Robinson was one of those taken
to Santa Monica by The Herald's au-
tomobile, when she FASTENED to her
home to tell Of her adventures.

SUDDEN RESOLVE OF
WOMAN TO TAKE TRIP
SAVES LIFE OF CHILD

Mrs. Annie Robinson, SIG East Sixth
street, was on board the st. Croix al
though she had no intention of going
to San Francisco when she went to San
Pedro Saturday morning to see a
friend embark for the north.
1t took half an hours persuasion for
her to consent to book and go north
for trip. Once her mind was made
up she and her friends sought the pur-
ser's office and were given a state
room. 1t was owing to this strange
whim that the life of child un-
doubtedly was saved.
The mother of two small children
was about to enter boat No. 1, but
was permitted to carry but one
child. Mrs, Robinson volunteered to
take one child, but as the boat was all
ready crowded both women were
forced to stand back and see it swung

SPIRITS OF PASSENGERS
AT SEA RISE WITH SMOKE
FROM CAPTAINS CIGAR

Mr.. and Mrs. John II. Glover of san
Francisco were among those OF tns
messengers who kept their presence oI
mind and aided greatly in preserNlhs
order at the time of the disaster. Clover
is proprietor of the John II. clover
Electrical company of San Francisco
and was on his return from CoVlha'
where he had been experimenting work
last week. He and his wife MADE the
down trip a few days ago on the ST
Croix and became we'll acquainted with
Captain Warner. This is what Glover
said today concerning Warmers hand-
ling of the thrilling situation;
"Captain Warner acted nobly. NO
man could have done more than he in
such a crisis to quiet the fears of the
messengers, some of whom were hyster-
ical with fright and threatened 10
iump overheard, or to make rush
for the life boats.
"When the order was issued to get
out the life boats. Captain Warner,
Chief officer Mills, Second Mate
Blekum and Third Mate H. Warner,
a brother of the captain, all went to
their cabins and strapped on their
guns to prevent any possible outbreak
among the crew or passengers.
81 would shoot my own brother If
he disobeyed my orders at this time, ="
said Captain Warner to me, with tears
in his eyes. 49,
His heart was breaking over the i'll
fate of his ship, but he showed re-
markable nerve. He deserves all the
credit that can be heaped on him for
his command of the situation, by which
not a life was lost. This coolness was
transmitted as If by magic to the other
officers and the crew, of which every
mothers son acted the hero.
"The manning of the boats was con-
Quoted in very orderly manner; the
only feature marring it being the
breaking of the block and tackle when

SURVIVORS CARRIED
TO ROADS ON LITTLE
KNOWN MALIBU LINE

First TO the rescue of the stranded
st. Croix passengers and crew was
Jack o. ID Henry of Santa Monica,
United States secret service agent, who
resides part of the time on the Malibu
ranch with Charles Baker. In this
work he was aided by Baker, A. X.
Wilmont, a contractor of Santa Mon
lea, and f. d. Hollingsworth, automo-
bile repairer, of 939 South Olive street,
Los Angeles. Wilmont and Holllngs-
worth are hunting guests of Henry and
were at the ranch when the burning
vessel and the landing of the survivors
were discovered.
The Malibu railroad, which is de-
scribed as beginning nowhere and
ending nowhere" is on the Malibu
ranch. 1t was constructed several
years ago by Mrs. ]. X. Rindge, the
owner of the ranch. and is about fif-
teen miles in length. Its only rolling
stock is a small fiat car with two
horse power gasoline engine, and two
other fiat cars without power. The car
is operated by Grattan Fitzgerald, an
employee of the ranch. He did good
work. according to officers of the ST.
Croix, in carrying people to points
where they were picked up by auto
mobiles which later visited the ranch.
Henry ordered the motor car to pro-
passengers camp. Because of the con-
dition of the track, which is dilapidated
and aYergrown with weeds at the
western end, the car got only to point
about a mile from the camp. There 1t
took aboard Chief Engineer Charles
Lowe and Purser J. l.. Ford, and car
ried them back twelve miles to the
Malibu ranch house, where a team was
provided them and they hastened to
Go nf "a wi hn
news of the disaster.
Although Henry had no authority to
do so, he was actuated by the emer-
gency to order Francisco Refs. Mexican
foreman of the Zuma ranch on the
north side of Point Dune, to get out
mules and wagons and haul the st.
CroiX passengers to the Malibu ranch
house, a distance of about fifteen miles.
Refs cheerfully responded with four
large wagons with six mules each, and
the passengers and crew were all
transported to the place desired in a
remarkably short time. 1t was mid
night before the survivors left the
scene of their landing, and they had
prepared to camp for the night when
the wagons and mules apeared at the
camp. The arrival of the outfits was
met with loud cheers.
The motor car on the Malibu railroad
each time carrying as many persons as
could be accommodated. The wounded
passengers were hauled to the east
ern terminus of the road on the flat
car trailers.
Hollingsworth kept his automobile at
the eastern terminus, declaring he was
waiting to carry the wounded women
to Santa Monica, He refused to move
from the scene to transport anxious
newspaper men to Santa Monica. He
got in good work in the care of the
wounded, and true to his resolve has
tened several of them to Santa Monica
to receive medical care.
The Malibu railroad, which proved
so useful to the jealous rescuers on
this occasion was a benefit to the pub
lie for the first time since it was con-
structed. 1t has been entirely private
affair, utilized in transporting supplies
to the various sections of the Malibu
ranch.

SAILORS ARE HEROIC
IN WORK OF RESCUING
VICTIMS FROM DEATH

When the first lifeboat had been
swung outward on the davits and the
eyebolt at the stern proved defective
| there were six men who did not hesi-
/ tate to meet the emergency Sidney
Finley, pantryman; Harry Livingston,
third assistant engineer; Clyde Scotney,
who was in the boat; II. Quigley quar-
termaster; Luis Fernandez, pantry
man, and L. A. Wallace, a passenger
who saw his baby girl floating on the
water and his wife in danger.
Fernandez dlved off the spar deck
and saved the lives of two women, as
slsting them into other boats. After
ward he modestly ignored the incident
when the reporters interviewed him,
and his good work came out only
through the testimony of those who
saw it.
Finley and Quigley leaped from the
deck without delay when they saw the
accident and rendered valuable assist
ance In preventing loss of life. Finley
was caught between the lifeboat and
the ships side and his arm broken.
Being without medical attendance until
taken on board the Perry he suffered
intensely, but made no complaint
Finley had recently left the navy and
was an experienced sailor. He broke
the same arm at Long Beach two years
drowning When asked if the fracture
was painful he answered: Never mind
me; look after the women"
Quartermaster Quigley kept a cool
head which acted an inspiration to
the other men, and he worked like
Trojan, proving of great assistance to
the women In the overturned boat
When Wallace saw his wife and baby
in danger he jumped from the deck,
but he went down so deep he had diff
ficulty in coming to the surface, swal-
lowing so much water he had to have
assistance after he had had the salts
faction Of seeing his wife and baby
safely cared for.
A passenger who suffered intensely
all night was H. Nancolas of Gilroy.
His fingers were scraped against the
boats edge and the flesh laid open in
an ugly wound that threatened blood
poisoning. Although his hnnd turned
black and the pain was so great he
could not sit still Nancolas said moth
ing about his injury until he had
walked almost to Santa Monica, when
his fellow passengers learned of his
injury and insisted he be hurried to a
physician.

one boat was being lowered from the
davits into the sea.
Captain Warner was the last man
to leave the ship, and this was done
only when he was convinced that the
vessel was doomed. Entering his boat,
which was the smallest on the ship, he
called orders to the officers In COM
mand of the other eight boats to fol-
low him, as he would take the lead
in the search for a landing He in
structed the men to follow a course
west by northwest, which he knew
would take the party to Point Dune.
Then Captain Warner did a thing
that l shall always remember as the
most remarkable piece of reassuring
strategy 1 have ever seen. Just as the
boats got under way, for the beach, he
stood up where all could see him in
the stern of his boat and lighted big,
ugly, black cigar and surveyed the
other boats in his wake with appar-
emily no more concern than fond
father proudly counting his children
at a picnic.
"The change that came over the
crowd Immediately was wonderful.
Previous to this many were despair
ing and others were gloomily cursing
their i'll luck and the loss of valuables.
But with almost the first puff of the
cigar the spirits of the majority of
the passengers rose by jumps, and
soon snatches of song could be heard
from the various boats, and men be-
gan to Josh one another about the
picnic they were enjoying. From this
time on guns or gruff commands were
entirely unnecessary to preserve order
and all Joined heartily in following
the instructions of Captain Warner.
If any man ever earned a medal for
bravery, Captain Warner is that man. "
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Glover were high
ly praised by passengers for the part
they took In quieting the fears Of pas
sengers and caring for the wounded
after they had landed on the beach.
Mrs. Glover busted herself in caring
for the babies in the party, and was
herself declared a real heroine for the
Mnrlr she nnrfOrmed.
