Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Sept. 2. Suffering from the effects of a severe ! injury to his head by being pitched out of a buggy in a runaway two weeks ago, | Leigh H. Robbins, a well known youns | man about town and employed by the | real estate firm of J. H. & A. S. Mac- donald, was taken to the Livermore Sani- tarium last night, mentally deranged, and placed under the care of special nurses. The accidgnt, which almost cost Rob- bins his life, occurred on the San Lean- | dro road. Robbins, with Al Wood, a con- tracting painter of this city, was out driving, when their horse shied at a piece of flying paper and ran away. The men lost control of the frightened animal and were upset into the road. Wood sus- tained injuries on the head that confined him to a bed in Fabiola Hospital several days. Robbins was sent to East Bay Sanitarium, where he remained until sev- eral days ago. Feeling convalescent, the young man went to the Hotel Crellin to stay with relatives who had come from San Jose {to care for him during his illness. He got along well enough until Wednesday evening, when unmistakable evidence of an affected mind developed. Twenty-four hours :ater his condition became such that physicians ordered him removed to the Robertson Sanitarium at Livermore. His friends think Robbins’ condition is | in part due to a failure to strictly obey his physician’s injunctions as to rest and quiet during convalescence. | | | | i i AMERICAN LEAGUE NINES MEET IN FINAL SERIES | AMERICAN LEAGUE. { ‘WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.—Washington | 7 MEIMORLIAZ, BO L DER two games from this vear's champlons.

At the same time there was dedicated a commemoration stone, an enormous boulder of sandstone, set in the school grounds, fittingly inscribed, to be a mark for all time of the spot where now rise the McKinley tree and its companion, the Washington tree, planted five years ago. | At the hour appointed this afternoon for the memorial exercises and dedication, | there assembled at the site on the High School grounds hundreds of children, and as many more of their elders, who came | from every town and village in Washing- | ton Township. The exercises were opened with selections by the Boys' Band from the Masonic Home at Decoto. J. C.

He directed the minds of his youthful hearers to the lessons of the | | | | day, and to the noble example contained |in the life and works of the murdered President. The audience joined with the children in singing “Columbia,” after which an original poem was read. | MEMORIAL ADDRESSES. i’ F. M. Smith of Centerville delivered the | memorial address, paying high tribute to the departed Presidents, Washington, Lin- | coln and McKinley. The orator impres- sively urged his hearers to keep fresh in | their hearts the love of country, that | mainspring of life that means a united | and happy people. Continuing he said: This is not the place nor the hour to dwell upon the defects—and there are defecta in ur body politic ut it is the time, my coun- men, for me to tell you that the way to 1cmedy these defects is not by crying down our form of government, as we are S0 prone 10 do, nor casting derision and calumny upon the officers of our nation, nor creating dis- sension between one class and another, nor a'lowing the seed of anarchy and disconteat to tske root in our soll.

In the late sixties “Spence” drove 2z | stage between Jackson and Hornitos. One day a desperado named “Spanish Jack"” and ‘a companion came out of the brush and ordered all hands up. ‘“‘Spence” rec- ognized the leader and said: “All right, Jack.” The two robbers kept the passengers covered and one of them cut the tr: of the horses. There were eight or ten brave men on board who had sworn they would never be held up and they all car- ried their pistols in their hands. But “‘Spanish Jack’ held a sawed-off shotgun filled with buckshot and had the drop on them and they surrendered their coin and watches when the hat w: | passed around.

In his day he was as famous a stage driver as Hank Mork, who drove Horace Greeley through the Rocky Mountains, or Harry Foss, the most reckless reinsman in the business. “Spence,” as he was dubbed, came to California in 1849 from Vermont, where he was born seventy-three years ago. He came for his health. He led an outdoor life, and that is one reason why he braved the trip across the plains.
