Sheldon, the young million- gire clubman, was held up by a masked highwayman on the main driveway in Golden Gate Park last evening and re- lieved of $25 in coin and a gold watch. ‘The robbery occurred near the tunnel, a skort distance in front of the park mu- seum. After gathering up his loot, the robber disappeared in the dense shrub- bery lining the road. Mr. Sheldon and a voung lady ac- | quaimntance were returning from a drive | 1o the beach. When nearing the tunnel, | shortly after 10 o'clock, they saw a man | running through the trees to intercept them. The moon was shining brightly and as the pedestrian came into the road they saw that his face was covered by a long mask. He stepped squarely in front of their horse and seized it by the Lridle, Then, holding it with one hand, he aimed a revolver with the other at the occupants of the vehicle. “Hand over your money and be quick about it,”” commanded the highwayman. “All right,” retorted Mr. Sheldon; “don’t get excited aboutsit. delivered?” >ut it in your hat and throw hat,” said the highwayman. Mr. Sheldon produced about $25 in coin, and deposited it in his hat, which he then tossed into the road. The money was scat- tered over a radius of several feet, and the highwayman took time to scrutinize the contribution as best he could, while holding the horse, to learn the extent of his haul. He asked how much the hat had contained and when he had received the desired information was about to release the horses, when a thought—unhappy for the victim of the hold-up—struck him. “Throw out your watch, t00,” he or- | | \ [ i i | | i out the "HERS' INSTI- TUTE 'TY SUPERIN- TENDENT OF SCHOOLS. tions lead the sc! ! | and causes them this he con ght of study sufficient for recommended school 1 il.

An inquiry in relation (o the recent mis- adventure of the steamship Alliance was held yesterday by Captains O. F. Bolles .| and -John K. Bulger and the matter was taken under advisement. E. N. Hardwick, the master, testified that at ten minutes past 11 o'clock, in the forenoon on April 5 of this year, the Al- liance struck a submerged rock ‘n the Pa- cific Ocean, between Shelter Cove and Gorda Rock, while steaming on the way om San Francisco to Eureka against a strong north wind and a heavy off-shore sea. The story of how Captain Hardwick, with pumps and an improvised bailing machine kept his veszel afloat until he reached Caspar, where he beached her, is recent history. He subsgequently effected temporary repairs and brought the Alli- ance, under her own steam, back to pert. ————— WANTS TAXES UNDER THE SPECIAL LEVY REFUNDED The Hibernia Savings and Loan Society filed a petition yesterday with the Board of Supervisors for the return of $40,958 62 paid under protest for taxes collected un- der the special levy of 15 cents per $100 for a new City and County Hospital and new school buildings. e petitioner pro- tested the payment of the taxes on the ground that the ordinance levying the tax is illegal and invalid, in that it fllegally exceeds the limitation piaced upon the taxing power of the Board of Supervis. orsE. The petition is preliminary to testing the validity of the levy in the Superior Court, as the board will, in all likelikood, deny the petition for ¢== of the taxes. % How do you want it | | had just | “It was all a sort of lark,” said Mr. Shel- | 'HIGH LICENSE THE MAIN ISSUE | OF THE CANVASS IN SAN RAFAEL Liquor Dealers Are Taking an Active Part in the Fight and Expect to Rout Can- didates of the Good Government Club i > | | | | HULER FALS IV ATTRGK ON HS CPITL, Vasquez Bombards San Domingo but Is Repl}ised.

Three Americans were wounded. Pershing's command congisted of Shaw’s battalion of the Twenty-seventh Infantry, Kilpat- rick’s troop of the Fifteenth Cavalry and McNair’s battery. Pershing was surveying the west shore lands when the Bacolodians opposed his advance and provoked the fight. The Americans surrounded and attacked the stronghold, first shelling the enemy and then rushing forward. They charged gal- | lantly after crossing a deep moat and, | entering the fort, engaged the Moros with | bayonets against Krisses. A hundred nt! the defenders were killed ~including the | Datto of Panandungan and many were | wounded. Only three Americans were wounded. After the capture of the fort it was destroyed. The Bacolod leaders and the majority of the people of that district had been hostile to the Americans and encouraged attacks on American camps. They re- jected the tenders of friendship. It is ed that the defeat of the Bacolo- firnn::‘wlll result in all the Moros acknowl- edging American soverelgnty. Pershing’s column is going to Parahue, which is also hostile. —e Licensed to Marry.

After remaining unconscious for twenty- four hours at the Receiving. Hospital Henry Dohrmann, who was thrown head- long from a San Pablo avenue car Wed- | nesday evening, passed away at 2:30/ o'clock this morning. He never regained consciousness. There is some question as to how Dohr- mann met his death. It is stated by some that he fell while trying to catch his hat, | which the wind blew from his head. For the purpose of determining the matter Coroner Mehrmann will hold an inquest. The deceased was a member of the Or- der of Odd Fellows and was a respected member of the community. He was the senior member of Dohrmann & Son, paint- ers. MRS. IDA THOMPSON HAS FAITH 1IN HER POWERS A three-cornered battle for letters of administration upon the $65,000 estate of the late John Thompson was commenced in Judge Troutt's court vesterday, the contestants being Ida Thompson, the aged widow of the deceased; Attorney Otto tum Suden and Public Administrator John Farnham. After hearing testimony in the case Judge Troutt took the matter under advisement. It appears that shortly after the death of Thompson his widow, who is over ) years of age, signed a waiver of her right to serve as administratrix and asked for the appointment of Otto tum Suden. Before her petition was glven a hearing she filed a renunciation of her petition, claiming that Tum Suden had secured her waiver by misrepresentation and asked the court to issue letters to her. Then the Public Administrator came into the case by asking that letters be fs- sued to him on the ground that Mrs. Thompson was, on account of her ex- treme age, physically unable to care for an estate of such a size. It now rests with the court to determine if Mrg Thompson, who appears to be very bright and energetic, despite her age, is fit to Assaults.
