PRIVATE VASSAR Rescues a Spanish Officer From Mad Insurgents and Re- ceives a Medal F THE many brave heroes who returned from Manila on the Rio Janeiro, none have a more interesting story to tell and none tell; it more modestly than does Private Rufus Plerce Vassar, who has c back with a Mauser bullet in his right thigh and a medal for brav- ery, which, by the way, he is too modest to wear. Vassar 1s well known here.. He is from New York, and is the grandson of the man who found- ed Vassar College, which bears his name. Young Vassar has re- sided here for about two years, and during the racing season he is a familiar figure about the racetracks. When the war broke out he re- signed the pleasures of a life made easy by comfortable remittances from home, and enlisted In the Twenty-third Infantry. He went with his regi- ment to Manila. It so happened that while doing police duty in the old town of Mai on September 8, in one of the obscure streets, Vassar’'s attention attracted by cries for help. He ran to the spot whence the cries came and found a crowd of natives surrounding a Spanish Officer, They had set upon the officer with knives and it was apparent that they were go- ing to make short work of him, when Vassar fixed his bayonet, and with- out a moment’s hesitation charged into the ¢rowd. They scattered,but one of them shot the young soldier with a Mauser carbine, the bullet taking effect in his right thigh. As soon as he had been shot Vassar fell to the ground and the natives ran. The noise of tke shot attracted the rellef guard, who came to the assistance of the young soldier. But for Vassar's interferenice the Spanish officer would have been murdered. . In recognition of Vassar's bravery and out of gratitude for saving his life the officer, who was Colonel Garcia of the Seventy-third Spanish regi- ment, presented the young soldier with a medal. This s the Keepsake that Vassar has brought back with him, and which he will treasure in the years to come. 0000000000000000000000000000000000 fra, 0000000000000 C0000000C00C00000000N000000000 nths and Later much of Mrs. Voges’ furniture went the same way.

Mrs. Woodworth swore that but $70 was real- ized, which amount she paid to Mrs. Voges, after the old lady’s friends began to interest themselves in her case. ‘Attorney R. B. Tappan has volunteered to see that Mrs. Voges gets her rigihis. He will take steps to have a guardian ap- pointed for her, and an effort will be made to have the German Ald Society care for her. Mrs. Voges suffered a stroke of par- alysis some months ago and since then her reason has been affected. In all Mrs. Woodworth has possession of property belonging to the unfortunate woman valued at about $600. She claims it was given her to pay for her services as a servant girl, but it appears that she was in Mrs. Voges' employ but three or four months. The Alameda authorities will investigate the case thoroughly. SUDDEN #®ISAPPEARANCE , OF A COE.EEE STUDENT ADOLPH GOETZ DROPPED OUT OF SIGHT IN ALAMEDA. He Was an Attendant at Stanford University and Was of Ex- emplary Habits. ALAMEDA, Oct. 25.—Adolph F. Goetz, & student at the Stanford University, has dropped out of sight in Alameda as com- pletely as though the earth had opened and swallowed him. There is absolutely no clew to his whereabouts, there is no motive for his voluntary disappearance and no apparent reason why he should make away with himself. Goetz came from Palo Alto Saturday to visit Mrs. A. H. Clark of 1417 Sherman street. He arrived at her home in the evening. They chatted over university affairs and during the conversation Goetz displayed a valuable gold watch that had been presented to him. He placed the waten, a silk handkerchief and a return ticket to Palo Alto on the table. Suddenly he remarked tnat he had an appointment with a man at Park street and left the house. This was about 11 o'clock Satur- y . From that time nothing has e the missing man. %\'hen been heard of he left Mrs. Clark he told her he would | be back in half an hour. When he did not r:turn at the appointed time she did not become uneasy, presuming he had con- cluded to spend the night with his friend. ft was not until Sunday afternoon that it dawned upon Mrs. Clark that something had happened to Goetz. The police were notified, but have been unable to find a of the man. e & did not mention the name of the man he intended to meet on Park street. Mre. Clark says the leaving of the watch and ticket was purely an accident on| Goetz's part. She does not think he has committed suicide, and hesitates to be- leve that he has met with foul play. He| is not thought to have had much money . Wwith him, although there is no definite | information on this point. | ‘Goetz is 25 years of age and of German | decent. He was of medium build; about | 5 feet 10 inches high, weight about 165 | pounds, dark complexion, dark brown eyes, black hair, low forehead, smooth | face. teeth short and set weli apart.

His only known relative is a| brother, who is at present in Manila. The faculty at Stanford was communi- cated with, but could give Do clew to his present whereabouts. There was nothing among his effects that would serve to solve the mystery surrounding his_disappearance. The following telegram was received from Stanford University last evening STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Oct. 25 Great apprehension exists here among friends of A. F. Goetz as to this young man’'s whereabouts.

The Clever and Hard-Hitting Pugil- ists Will Doubtless Sign Articles To-Day. Billy Lavigne, acting for his brother, George Lavigne, met the officers of the National Club at the Baldwin Hotel last evening to arrange a twenty-round con- test between the “kid” and Tom Tracey, the clever Australian exponent of the game known as cuffs. Al Smith, acting manager for Tracey, was present, and when Mr. Groom of the National Club called the meeting to or- der, he drew up articles of agreement, but’ Lavigne objected to the percentage clause of 60 per cent. He held out for 65 er cent, which the club positively re- used to give. The percentage question was argued at length, but Lavigne would not concede an inch until he had had a conference with his brother, who was not present. A vain attempt was made to_ find the pugilist. Al Smith, on behalf of Tracey, was seemingly willing to sign for 60 per cent, but as Tracey’s prospective oppo- nent was not present nothing was done in the way of consummating a match. Doubtless the contestants and their re- spective managers wid meet this after- noon and settle on the question of per- centage, which appears to be the only clause in the agreement that will prevent the signing of articles between two of the most exvert exponents of the fistic game at present in this countr: Two-fifths of the companies promoted yearly in England fail.
