THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, ;S RISKED HIS LIFE DIVING FOR GOLD Santa Cruz Prospector’s Narrow Escape From Death. Finds Wealth at the Bottom of the Sacramento, but Fails to Get It. Almost Suffocated Befors Hauled to the Surface of the Water. SANTA CRUZ CaL., Sept. 25.—J. E. lonergan, an elcctrician of this city, tells a remarkable story of his narrow escape | from death while diving for gold in the Sacramento River, above Redaing. With other Santa Cruzans he had formed a company to prospect for the precious metal aloug the bars in the river. In the search he used a diving suit. Lonergar found gold—more, he claims, than he ever saw before in his life—but before he could secure it it had disappeared in the shifi- ing sand of the bar he was prospectin . “I was down at a considerable depth,” said Lonergan, *'‘when 1 saw in a crevasse at the river’s bottom a shining mass, as though of a monste t that had been crumpled and sundered by the action of the water. As I stooped and attempted to galher up as much as I could of the shining mass the sand beneath me began to siide into a deeper portion of the river. *1 Jost control of myseif when I saw the fortune slipping away from me and began to suffceate. hed the li th ay from me.

Dispute Over ““The Campus” on University Heights Finally Settled in Court. N DIEGO, Carn, Sept. 25.—The dis- pute over the Normal School site which has annoyed the people of this city since June 4th last, was settled this afternvon in Judge Hughes' department of pericr Court, and business men and citi- zens generally are greatly rejoiced over mint a the best news they have heard for weeks. | On June 4the State Normal trus selected as asite for the San Diego mal what was known as “the Campus, on University Heights, consisting of a 16-acre tract about three and a half miles from the center of the city. The property nad been dedicated for a similar purpo<e ten years ago by the Collegs Hill Land Association to a board of trustees for a university of Southern California, a ter the close of the boom it reverted to the original holders and they in zave it to the State. Attorney-General Fitzgerald refused to accept the property because of the irust clause in the deed, and ever since the Normal School trustees have been trying to get the Coilege Land Association to get the title of the property adjudicated in court on the line which the Attorney- General indicated would be acceptable. For a time the case seemed hopeless, | but to-day George I. Cochran of Los An zeles, representing the Attorney-General appeared in court and Judge Hughe cranted the decree on the grounds asked. his s=ttles the case, and the trustees will immediately advertise for bids for the construction of the college. e GGLD CREEK BONANZA.

HNovel Method by Which a Stranded Vessel Is to Be Kaued Into Desp Water. ASTORIA, Ow, Stokes, owners the German ship Potrimpos, which stranded on North Beach on tbe Washington shore last year, and which i now embedded in ten fest or more of sand, are confident they will soon have her afloat. The tug Escort, Captain Howes, recently accomplished one of the cleanest pieees of work ever undertaken at this harbor. The tug left the Astoria dock at 7:30 A. M., arrived off North Beach, where the Potrimpos iies, at 10:30, left there at 1 o'clock and was back at the dock in Astoriaat 4 p. M. In the meanime she had successfully paced the 4000-pound anchor of the Poirimpos in twenty-iwo feet of water, with a 2000-foot steel chain attaching it to ihe ship on shore. A big pipe 1s being laid from the ship out to sea and a large pump has been rigged on the main deck. In the hold are five other large suction pumps. Twenty-one 1)4-inch holes have been bored in the ship’s vottom. As soon as the foriy tons oi machinery just placed in the vessel is 1n working order and the tiges are r:ght (the last of Sept. 25.—Foard & of this month) the big pump on the main deck will be set at work, the hold filled with water and the pumps below will be started, forcing the water out through the small holes. give way like a sugar loaf: thelarge steam winch wiil pull on the big anchor far out at sea and the Potrimpos wili slide out iuto deep wa'er. Such is the novel scheme which, if suc- cessful, will give Astoria a large vessel and put thousands of dollars into the pockets of :he enterprising firm. The English owners of the ship Glen- morag, which stranded on North Beach about two years ago, are also preparing to take advantage of the hizh ‘all tides, and will make their fourth effort to float their vessel. N SIEAMEE GOES AMHORE. The Tacoma Brachrd, but Floated on a High tide. TACOMA, Wasn,, Sept. 25 —The steamer Tacoma, which left here at 4 ». M. for China and Jepan, ran ashore head on an hour after she departed. She struck on the beach on the southern shore of Mzury Island in full view, ordinarily, of this city. A dense fog prevailed at the time and it is supposed that she lost her bear- ings. The beach on which the ship brought up is sandy and soft and the steamer was floated at high tide without having suffered any damage. The vessel got off at 3:10 P. M. and immediately pro- ceeded to sea. e Methodist Parvonage Robbed.

Fifteen Vagrants Founded Up and Turned Gver to the Custody of a heriff. SPOKANE, Wasm, Sept. 25 — Mrs. George Martin is the heroine of Oakes- dale, a Whitmar County town near here. Yesterday Sheriff Sims rounded up a gang of fifteen hobos who had been camped at that place and drove them from town. At the farm of George Martin, one mile north, the gang entered the house and proceeded to ransack it. Mrs, Martin was absent from the building at the time, but was the only person besides the hobos on the ranch. Seeing them enter she re- turned, and entering the front door took down a double-barreled shotgun and chased the hobos out of the back door, shooting twice to encourage them in their flieht. Once in the back yard they attempted 1o continue the flight, but she, having re- loaded the gun, took another shot over the crowd and brought it to a standstil . Then she marched the aggregation back toward town. Half way back she encoun- tered the Sheriff, who having heard that the hobos were sacking the ranch was hastening to the piace. She turned the crowd over to him and his deputies. They were taken to Qakesdaie and locked in jail. Prosecuting Attorney Matthews ordered them kept on a bread and water diet until he could investigate the case and see if any evidence connecting them with the recent Eiberton postofice robbery could be found.
