SAUSALITO, Oct. "a mysteri-
Gus launch answering in every par
ticular the description of the one
seen at the Giant powder works
disappeared from Richardson's bay
this morning after exciting the
keenest interest since September 20
because of its strange movements
and the actions OF its unknown
crew. Although the authorities
made Investigations along the en-
tire shore about Sausalito and pa
trolled the bay along Belvedere and
completely around Angel island. no
further trace of the strange craft
could be found. 1t has dropped
completely from sight, and the Of
ficials are baffled.
The fact that no one was ever
seen aboard the launch in daylight
first awakened suspicion. Then the
popularity of its movements and
the fact that il bore no name at
tracted attention. II seldom re-
manned off one place on the shore
more than "a hours. A change of
color on the hull over night was
another suspicious feature. Its
conings and goings were always by
night, and its owners and crew Were
never seen at close range.
Frank Leearman, a boatman and
fisherman of Old Sausalito, first saw
the craft. II came into the cove on
the night of September 20. Leear-
man describes the boat as about
% feet long with a brown deck
house built even with the gum
vale and a hull of dirty yellow
shade. 1t was a double ended craft
with a whistle and bell on top.
Il never saw the crew by day
light" said Leearman, who lives in
a cabin hidden by trees on the shore
of the cove The launch came in
by night and anchored a short dis
tance off shore. It's lights were lit
and I could see the forms of men
moving about on board. There were
three of them, 1 think, but 1 am
not sure. as only two appeared on
deck. The launch came in Septem-
Der 20 and lay here the next day.
The lights were lit rather late, and
the men seemed to be busy aboard
her. When 1 looked out next morn
ing I thought II was gone and that
another had taken its place. But on
looking closer 1 saw that some one
had given IL a fresh coat of paint.
Instead Of a yellowish hull it now
had a white one.
That night the lights were again
lit. / saw a small boat tied to the
stern that was not there during the
day. I think the men must have
gone TO It in that boat. Where 1t
came from / do not know. It may
have been hidden anywhere along
the shore OF the Fort Baker reser-
walton. The night of September %
was the last time I saw the craft
until Saturday. when 1t showed up
in the morning and disappeared
while l was away fishing"
Leearman was unable to give a
description of the men on the
launch.
Bob Cambell, a well known fish
erman. remembers seeing two men
who answer to the description of
Bryson and the Spaniard. Cambell
says the men appeared around Old
Sausalito about u days ago in the
evening. and that the heavyset
stranger bore a scar over his eye.

the appearance of a wise guy'-that is.
a man who knew just what he wanted
and was ready to pay what was asked
for the goods
The description given by Nutter
agrees with that Of A. j. Bryson and
William Morris, who purchased 500
pounds of powder at Giant.
1t is believed that these two men
used the letters on a small boat. in
which the powder was taken away. to
disguise the craft, the letters being
nailed on two boards that were fast
ened on each side and were afterward
ripped of when the vessel got out of
sight of the powder works.

Wire Fence Case Is
Decided Against Town

A case which has attracted con-
siderable attention and solicited
comment of various kinds was
finally decided last Wednesday in
the county court Last spring
the town board ordered the mar
shal to take down all barb wire
fences along the streets. In pur-
suance of that .rder the marshal
cut and removed the wires from
the fence of Mrs. Eva Williams on
north Grande avenue Mrs. Will
liams resented this interference
with her property and sued the
town, the members OF the board.
the mayor and the marshal: Judge
Osboldstone heard the case and
gave Mrs Williams judgment and
an appeal was taken. On Wednes-
day the appeal was tried in the
county court where a JUDGMENT
was again rendered in favor of
Mrs. Williams. Ii seems that the
town had desired to widen Grande
avenue from 60 to so feet and
asked the 10, owners to donate
ten ieet from their frontage. With
a number OF others, Mrs. Williams
declined to make the donation.
but agreed TO move her fence
back and build a sidewalk along
the line desired by the town.
which she did. The town author
tiles contended that they had a
right to regulate the character of
fences along the street line and
proceeded IN the manner stated
TO carry out their ideas. 1t ap-
peared in the trial that no ordi-
nance had been passed widening
the street and not even a formal
esolution was passed in regard
TO the wire fences. The decision
OF the case was to the effect that
the town had not taken any pro-
per steps to enable it to abate
wire fences as nuisances anywhere
and that IT had no power over
fence situated as tn 5 was ten feet
Or more inside the lot line. All of
US are in favor of modern improve
ments and want them installed

way OF ascertarning how to do il
than to so through the courts.

What the World Gets

From the Farm.
When the world wants good cows,
horses, sheep, hens and hogs it
sends out to the farms and gets
them.
When it wants good things to
eat it writes a letter to the farmers
and is never disappointed in getting
just what it orders.
When it wants the choicest fruit,
our farms have it. If fruit is not
plentiful in the East, there is the
great West to draw from.
When 1t is looking for homes for
the thousands in other lands who
never knew what home really is,
it sends to this great country of
ours.
When the world feels the need of
men to do great things, it reaches
out its hand to the farm, and says
you have just the ones we want.
Send them to US! 1t is a time OF
sore stress; do not fail u.s."
And from the farms a steady
stream of men goes to answer the
call. You find them in the offices,
in the factories, in the stores OF
the great cities. They are doing
much of the worlds work today, an
they will always be doing it; for th'
farm grows just that kind of men
The world gets its best from the
farm; and there is a-plenty left
Let's be thankful for that! From

THAT WILL BENEFIT

One of the best tools farmer
can have is good riyeter for mend
ing leather straps of all kinds One
of these win save a good many
trips to town and maybe more than
one runaway.
Look after the pits where pota"
toes and the like are stored, and
make sure that there is enough
earth or litter on them to protect
the contents from the coolest wealth
er. Neglect may cause serious loss.
You've been working around that
one solitary big rock in a field for
years. Now, split 1t up, blast it or
get rid of 1t in someway. A days
work, or perhaps less, makes the
field perfectly clean and smooth.
A tank heater for heating drink
ing water for live stock will pay
for itself time and again, in one
winter, in the saving OF extra feed
required to restore the animal heat
lost through taking in the drafts
of icy water.
Bringing home unexpected guests
right at dinner or supper-time is
often very trying to the good wife.
Politeness and hospitality are all
right in their places, but you owe
duty first to your wife and daugh-
tiers.
Provide a stout sled, warm
clothes, and let the children slide
but keep them off the roads, 1t is
fun, and you know it, or ought to;
and far more healthful for mind an
body than a dime novel in the barn
loft.
1t takes a smart man to wait pa
tiently for dinner when the hour
comes. His wife can wait for him
a month of Sundays, but If she is
not right on the tick when he comes
in, there will be trouble right
along. Most things have two sides
to them. Isn't this one of them?
