The company has offered a reward of 10,000 marks for their restitution or for the discovery of the thieves.

ATHLETES RESCUED- FROM DANGERS OF THE DEEP Phil Wand, Alec Pape and J. Dukelow, three well known athletes and members of the Olympic Club, had a narrow escape | from drowning in the bay vesterday. They were rescued from almost certain geath by soldiers stationed at Alcatraz Isldnd. Early vesterday morning Wand, Pape ! and Dukelow left the Dolphin boathouse in_ a sailboat. Their destination was Ti- | buron, and their passage to that spot was without incident. In the afternoon they | started on their homeward journey and before they had gone many. miles Were wishing themsalves on shore again. The bay had roughened and their boat was tossed about like a cockle-shell. "Although Pape and Wand are good sailors, they be- came extremely nervous. They had to . lower the sail and both bent to their oars, but the incoming tide and the choppy sea made rowing useless. Strive as they did. they could make no headway, and were | in danger of capsizing every minute, | Dukelow thought his last hour had come and wrote a_note which he expected would be picked up if he met death by drowning. Fortunately the boat was carried by the tide to the lee of Alcatraz Island ™ and with great effort the trio managed to draw nearer shove. The soldiers saw their predicament and willing hands dragged the wet and be- draggled athletes to shore. They were in a pitiable state. Soldier clothes were given them to wear while their own were | drylng, and hot coffee was made for them., They returned to this city on the General McDowell. —————————— Home for Old Friends.

Crocker of the Pacific Improvement Company last Saturday and all arrange- ments are being made for the new ap- pointee to assume his responsible duties. Ever since the forming of the Pacific Im- | provement Company and the Southern Pa- cific Rallroad Company the interests of the two corporations have been so closely identified that the legal business of the | Pacific Improvement Company has always | been attended to by the law department of the Southern Pacific Company. | With the recent change in the ownerst?llln s community ‘of Interests has ceased and it was deemed a matter of business pru- dence that the improvement company should take its legal business out of the | hand!s of the Southern Pacific law depart- ment.

According to her story she went back to the kitchen and sat alonme till morning, when she went into the base- | ment and found that McDaniels was dead. The police believe that the shooting oc- | curred in the Kitchen, as there are no | blood stains in the little hallway or on | the stairs.

Since that time he wag a frequent visitor, at her house, and she was in his room at’ 421 Powell street almost daily. She says that “Charlie” was jealous of her and threatened often to kill her, her husband and himself. E. G. Schonwasser, of Davis, Schon- | wosser & Co., yesterday identified the re- | volver with which the crime was com- mitted as one which the firm had given to the watchman.

JOHN McNAUGHT TALKS TO NORMAL SCHOOL PUPILS Advises Embroynic Teachers to Be Guided by Principles in Per- forming Their Work. “Scme Greek Teachers” was the subject of an interesting address delivered yes- terday afternoon to the pupils of the Nor- mal School on Powell street by John Me- Naught. The speaker advised the embry- onic teachers to be guided by prineiples and to pursue their duties in the educa- ticnal fleld with the same indomitable fortitude as the philosophers of Greece who, although surrounded by opponents and enemtes, did not hesitate to promul- gate their doctrines and theories, some of which revolutionized the governments of the world. In illustration of this he stat- ed that the theory—the greatest ever con- ceived by the mind of man_—that govern- ments should be based on the intelligence of the citizens, was first discovered by one man and he, by persistent efforts, taught it_to the world. The address throughout was received with close attention by the pupils, and at its conclusion the speaker was warmly applauded. > 0000000 00000000000000 000000000000000000000000 z ;w coocooonc:ooaoccoooooc'nocaooooonc:m:ooawg ol o o 6600000 6000000 o e 5000000 cocoocaocfoood S 66006000 50000000000 B 5660000 | An Oakland Woman Gocs East to Scll the § 5255522015555 o 00000600 . 0000000§0500 o 6600000 Sword of Washington to Raisc a 90000000000 o 0600000 0000000fca00 13 SR Dowry for Her Davghler. cgsoooofocce > o ° o o 000000 R & e 0000000§0000 o 0000000 6000000800060 o 2999333 FORTUNES IN DESERT PRODUCTS. 9e92¢00ofooos o 3| o cocoo00 By Jose de Oivares. 55500asfecos | o 000060 0fo0oo o 1 0000000 -y 000000 0 © 0 o 0000000 00000006000 ponaoooy The Wickedest Man in New York and sgacagegadod ! paodond the Advice He Gives. cgacaadiasdd 3 0000000 00000000009 | 6600000 0c0o0cocffecoo 06000600 CANNON? |2c22005o40502 i 2525255 WHAT BECOMES OF OLD 13 Peedtdl s 0000000 000000 ofo o 1 000000 > 0000000 2 99500¢00000000000000 00000000000000000 949099 ofas 560000000000€0000000000000300000000800 SR e s d i N [ : 0000000000000000000000000900000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000 00000000060000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000 00 010000000000000000000P000000000000000000000Q000000 0000000000000000000000000000 ©00000000000000000000000000C0000000000000000000000 00000000000 . 0000000000000000 FIVE CENTS A CODY. ©000000000600000000000000000000 o o s Q 3 ° 060000000000600000000000000000000 0000000k > [00000000000000000000000000000000000000 2000000 o 5555305 e 5665000 5535000f02 0coo0000 0000000f°909 0000000} The Crack Riflemen of America and Who Jocoo00o§22°° Qogo0o00 0000000 g 3, So6o00 6500000 5655000 They Are. 35530050000 lococooo 00000000999 jo0c00000 T 0000000 g 2 loooo000 0000000 o000000k LATEST IN FASHIONS, FICTION, BOOKS. |cccoo00f992° 0000000 ©00000coff® 000 ocoocoocC il e EAEY 7 000009 909 5606005 353533205229 000Q000 00002009 D 2cooccn| And Many Slorics of Thrilling Huma | 252500 gs¢ bco0000 |, Sacednd ¢ ooocooco Interest. . c0000000f000¢ joooocce 2000000 9oc 0505055 LML 56835355¥505 jooooocoo 00Qo00C] g o 0000000 «Joooocooc o 0222292 ] THE SUNDAY CALL LEADS THEM ALL.- 522220242252 oo0co000 00000000000 Jocoococewo 00000009 00 9 Seoaac 25553558505¢ Sos00 550580000003 goooC 00000000000 0000C AARAANAA o B ) 000000080000000000000 2000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000Q C000000000000000000000000000) 0000000000000 000000000000000000000C0C00C00000000 900000000000000
