ALAMEDA, Dec. 28.—A peculiar hold-up story was reported to the police last niz by E. Kaufman of 2241 San Jose avenue. claims that he was on horse- back last night riding along the Webster street roadway about 8 o'clock, when at a point near the water tank that stands at the junction of Pacific avenue and "Neb- ster street a man stepped out from be- hind the tank and asked for a ride, Kaufman refused the request, and the man commanded him to throw up his hanfls, at the same time giving a short, sharp’ whistle. Immediately 1t sther men sprang from their hiding places and | the three attempted to surround Kau! y Who says he endeavored to ride over the footpads, but his horse was tripped by a number of wires that the highwaymen had placed across the roadway. The horse was thrown compietely off its | feet and the rider landed several feet off in the roadway. The animal, however, re- covered his equilibrium and Kaufman managed to remount him and ride away before the desperadoes could harm him Kaufman bears no marks to show that he was in any way scratched or injured in his fall, and says the robbers did not attempt to shoot him or the horse, but is persistent In his statement that_the trio meant to rob him. Police Officer Ladrence was immediately sent to investigate the matter, but could find no traces of the footpads, nor was there any evidence to show that wires had been stretched across the road where Kaufman says they were. The pblice place little credence in the story. Kaufman, however, declares his story to be true and describes the three men in detail. Two of them were tall and wore slouch hats pulled down over their eyes. The other was of medium build and wore a white shirt. He had no coat on. —_—— One Bid for Testing Wells.

FOR TWO YEARS A WIFE FEARED BEING MURDERED Hammond West Sent to an Asylum. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %3 Broadway, Dec. 2 Hammond West, the carpenter who, after bidding his wife and sister good-! yesterday, secured his brother-in-law’s gun, intending to commit suicide, and who was afterward accidentally shot during a struggle in which the brother-in-la Clark Watson, tried to disarm him, committed to the insane asylum at Ag- news to-day by Superior Judge Ogden. | ‘West's constitution and ability to with- | stand pain proved marvelous. Last night, while he was lying on a cot in the Re- ceiving Hospital, he tried to tear open the two ugly wounds on his breast which the doctors had sewed up; and the charge made by his wife that he has been insane | for some months proved true. He ex- rr(-s»ed fear to sleep In a room without a ight, and it developed at the examination to-day before the Lunacy Commissioners that he had several times threatened to kill his wife and ten children and then himself, West admitted that he had made the threats against life and of f-destruc- tion, but claimed he was only talking dur- ing 'fits of nervous prostration. It ap- pears that two s ago he experienced a heavy fall, since which time his actions have not been those of a sane man. Mrs. West testified that during the past two years she has been living in constant fear of being killed. At night the husband would keep the family awake by walk- ing the floor, bemoaning his misfortune, and though sickness had made him weak he would frequently go down into the cel- lar and saw wood all night. He seemed quite calm to-day, and not- withstanding his serious wound he looked better than for some time past and seemed resolved to take his fate p sophically: believe that with proper tr 's reason may restored. be ———— STOCK COMPANY FOR OAKLAND 28. — Arrangements OAKLAND, Dee. have been made to organize a permanent | stock company of players for the Macdon- | ough Theater.
