Monday night the crash of broken glass attracted the notice of Policemen Scott and Riley, who were about a block distant. They ran to Her- zog's store, whence the noise appeared to come, The thieves evidently heard them coming and fled, as no one was in sight when the policemen uriived. Herzog the next morning reported the loss of three pairs of fleld glasses. The second attempt occurred Wednesday night, and this time the thieves were more successful. Two locks on the front door were forced and over $20 worth of goods stolen. The thiev made away with twenty-five revolvers and a quantity of jewelry.

TRUNBOS ARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH Detention of Three Minutes by a Mine Workman Saves Him From Being Buried Under 300 Tons of Rock. | Special Diepatch to The Call. SAN DIEGO, Sept. 12.—It seems from mail _advi which have reached here that the first sto sent out bout the | death of Daniel Beam and William Ames at the Queen mine at quite correct, and further it appears that three well-known citizens of the State came within about three minutes of being | sent into the next world with Beam and mes. Colonel Isaac Trumbo of San rancisco, the present receiver of the olden Cross Mining Company, to which the Queen mine belongs; Charles W. Pauly of this city, who was_the receiver | before the appolntment of Mr. Trumbo, and Assistant District Attorney John Metcalf of this eity, who was visiting at the mine, are the men who had a narrow escape They knew Beam and Ames and they !also knew that the blast, which had been prepared. was to be put off in a short time. The three men had been invited to see the blast by the two miners. They started for the mine, but on the way one of the workmen stopped Recelver Trumbo to talk with him: about the mine. The delay was for three minutes and the others walited for him. Just as they started forward they heard the explosion. Had they not been stopped they would have been with the miners when the ex- plosion occurred and would have been, like them, buried beneath the. tons of rock which crushed their lives out. Beam and Ames were dug out of the debris. When found they were in an upright position, but with three hundred tons of loose rock around and above them. WHITNEYS THE CHAMPIONS. Defeat the Hardys in the Play at Doubles at Del Monte. Spectal Dispateh to The Call. DEL MONTE, Sept. 12.—The Whitney brothers are the coast champlons in doubles for the year 1900. They defeated the famous Hardy brothers in straight | sets. The Hardy brothers had just re- turned from the East the winners of four double tournaments, only to be beaten In | their old home. The play was commenced by Sam Hardy serving, and the Whitneys won the first four games. The next two fell to the Hardys and the next two to the Whitney brothers, giving them the set. The second set was hotly contested from start to finish. The Hardy brothers were not quite in their game and lost the set, 6-3. In the third and last set the Hardys won the first two games and iIn the sixth game had a lead of 4-2. The Whitneys won the next two and tied the score, { all. The ninth game fell to the Whitneys by clever play, as also the tenth, giving them the set and match. The Hardy brothers were handicapped somewhat by the courts, having just re- turned from the East. wherc they played on grass courts. The defeat of the Hardys was a great surprise, as all predicted an easy victory after their success in the East. The Whitneys are the champions agaln in doubles after a lapse of four years, and the California Club is in hopes | that they will hold it four years more. Warburton and Fatjo won the Consolation doubles by defeating Stewart and McFar- lan in the finals—7-5, 4-6, 6-2. i IN BATTLE Special Dispatch to The Call.

Matthal's sisters, who reside in | Ban_Francisco, own land adjoining that | of Stanley. They believe that a mine | 1 | | | located on the Stanley place is on their | property, so they sent their brother up | to the place to guard it. Stanley on the morning of May 20 last went with a nephew of his to the disputed mine, which | is close to the dividing line of the two | proverties. to begin the work of develop- | ng the claim. Stanley drove up the | road leading to the mine he was met by | Matthai, who had a shotgun in his hnntf. The latter asked Stanley where he was | oing. Stanley replied: “To_the mine.” | Matthai remonstrated with Stanley and | | told him to keep away from the mine, | | that he would not be allowed to go near | it. Stanley replied: “I will see about {t.” | and started to get out of his cart. Matthai | raised his gun and pointed it at Stanley. | The latter grasped the weapon to protect | himself.
