Closely covering the men with his weapon the robber walked to the coin receptacle and opened the drawer. With one hand he took the money out, and after he had emptied the register walked over to Arena and grabbed him by the coat. The thief backed away toward the entrance, all the while | watching Brigonl and directing both of the men to keep quiet. He peered out of the door for an instant. then Jet go of Arena and mude a run down Broadway. While the occurrence was in full swing an electric car stood on the Broadway tracks, barely fifty feet dis- tant. The first notice the saloon- keepers gave was when Arena fired his pistol and set up a yelling. A flagman at the Southern Pacific crossing at First street heard the cries and the shot, but paid no attention to them, think- ing it was a saloon brawl. The robber was seen as he ran through Second street and Washington, but his trail was lost in the lumber yards by the time the police were called. Arena de- scribed the man as heavy set, medium height, wearing dark clothes and a black slouch hat. The mask of black cloth covered his face to his eyes.

Arena and his partner were alone in the saloon when the robber entered by the front door. Brigoni was sitting in & chair and Arena, leaning over a barrel, was talking to him.

Husband MARRIES AT MARTINEZ German Colony Given Sur- prise by the Announce- ment of the Nuptials Oaklang Office San Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, Oct. 24. Mrs. Augusta Kramm, widow of Charles Kramm, a pioneer brewer of Oakland and one of the best known members of the German colony of Oakland, has surprised her friends by becoming the bride of Fred Peterson, a saloon man at Seventh and Frank- lin streets. The wedding occurred Thursday last at Martinez. Mr. and Mrs. Peterson have taken up residence at the old Kramm home, 814 Tele- graph avenue. Peterson years ago was bookkeeper at the old Anchor brewery, which his wife’s first husband conducted for many years. He engaged in the res- taurant business more than thirty years ago, having been one of the first men to embark in that business in Oakland. Peterson stepped out of the brewery after it was sold to an English syndicate. It was during his employment there that he became ac- queinted with Mrs. Kramm, whom™he has won as his bride. Kramm died fifteen years ago. Some time afterward Mrs. Kramm became Mrs. Anthony Simons, but she pro- cured a divorce from Simons and was free to listen to the old bookkeeper’s rotestations of love. Mrs. Peterson Eu one son, Joseph Kramm, who contihued to kandle the Anchor brewery’s affairs. Another son, Ch¥rles H. Kramm, died while he was serving as a City Coucilman. WILL WED TO-DAY OAKLAND, Oct. 24. — Such a busy week as the last one has been and such a busy week as this will be! There will be & notable wedding of course—it's a dull week when society has not at least one bride upon whom interest is centered, and this week Miss Hazel Cope will be the object of social solici- tude. David Hartley will claim her as his bride to-morrow evening and the wedding will, without doubt, be one of the season’s most charming affairs. The Copes have a beautiful home on Jayne avenue and Miss Georgie Cope is noted for her artistic originality, so the marriage appointments are sure to be unusually pretty. .. .. e Miss Pear] KiNg, whom. ‘we have all missed during her long absence in Ari- zona, is once more in the midst of things social. She will have charge of the Ebell programme to-morrow and has arranged a promising ‘enter- tainment. Miss King is a clever read- er and will give one of the programme numbers. s e . Mrs. J. J. Allen and Mys. B. B. Crandall are planning a card afternoon for Miss Jessie Barstow, one of the newest engaged girls. Next Friday afternoon is the time chosen, and over fifty guests will play five hundred. o The choir of the First Congregational Church, which includes about sixty singers, will be the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Alexander T. Stewart to-morrow evening at their home, on Twenty- second street. Mr. Stewart is the choir leader, and Rev. Charles R. Brown, who has just returned from his summer vacation, will be an honored- guest at the reception. . e e Miss Eleanor Sorenson, who has been visiting in Oakland for some time, re- turned to her home in the East last week. During her stay here she made many friends and was the compli- mented guest at a farewell dinner a few days - previous to her departure. The dinner took place at the Pledmont Clubhouse and was & jolly “bachelor girl” .affalr, among the -diners being Miss Maud Pratt, Miss Ethel Pratt, Miss Amelia Laguna, Miss Jennie Smith, Miss Jessle Webster, Miss Mar- garet Morin, Miss Grace Orcutt, Miss Germa Moore, Miss Lou Neal and Miss Sorenson. . S e ‘With a beautiful home in which to entertain and possessing all the tact- ful and gracious qualities of a true hostess, it is not surprising that Miss Gertrude Allen’s affairs, whether for- mal or otherwise, are invariably de- scribed by her guests as “perfectly de- lightful.” Buch was the little lunch- eon given last Tuesday in .honor of the then bride-to-be, Miss Ione Fore, who is now rejoicing in the dignity of ,a four-day old matron. Pink roses, pink shades over the lights and tulle of the same roseate hue made the luncheon table a charming rendez- vous for the girl guests, nine in num- ber.

Meat: Company on Demand for Withheld Pay MANAGER DAVIE TALKS Declares Move Is Intended to Harass Lotked Out Butchers’ Business Plans Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, Oct. 24, Charles Zeigler, E. Lafferty, James Stewart and Conrad Schansel, former employes of the California Co-oper- ative Meat Company, organized by locked-out butchers, brought suit to- day in Judge George Samuels’ court to recover $284 50, wages alleged to be due them from the company. The spe- cific amounts set forth in the complaint follow: Zeigler, $88; Lafferty, $99; Stewart, $37 50; Schansel, $60. The men make a claim that the amounts due them represent the dif- ference between $7 for which they had worked and $18 a week, which they allege had been promised to them. They assert that the company has not kept its promise in this connection. John L. Davie, manager of the cor- poration, denied that his company owed a dollar to the former meat cutters. In explanation he said: “These men were induced to leave us by an offer of better pay from em- ploying butchers who had locked them out when a strike had been threatened. ‘We have paid them full wages and be- sides gave them all of the meat they required for their own use. This suit is intended simply to harass the com- pany.” —_— 4 MISSING MAN'S BODY IS FOOND W. J. Hutchinson’s Remains Are Discovered Lying in a Dam Near Ross Valley The mystery surrounding the disap- pearance ten days ago of W. J. Hutch- inson, clerk of the Hotel Sequola, was cleared up yesterday when his body was found floating in a dam in Big ‘Willlams Gulch, two miles from Ross Valley. Although Hutchinson had been despondent for some time it is not be- lieved by his relatives that his death was a suicide. They are inclined to be- lieve that after wandering ‘about the country for several days he became ex- hausted and fell into the dam. A strong point against the suicide theory is the fact that the dam contains very little water, and certainly not enough to drown a man who was able to assist himself. Hutchinson disappeared from the Hote] Sequola a week ago Saturday. The following day he visited a stable- man in Ross Valley, to whom he paid a small bill incurred a few weeks be- fore. That was the last seen of him until his body was found yesterday. Mrs, I J. Truman, wife of the well- known attorney and sister of Hutch- inson, several days ago appealed to the authorities of Marin County to make a search for Her missing relative. They did so. without result. Yesterday morn- ing the Chief of Police of San Rafael received an anonymaus letter saying that a body of a man was lying in the dam in Williams Gulch. Con- stables Agnews and Hughes immedi- ately proceeded to the point designat- ed and found Hutchinson's remins. It 1s believed that the body wasdiscovered by a party of picnickers, who refrained from signing the note addressed to the (Vulga,r Student Shows OAKLAND, Oct. 24.—'"Co-eds” dze advised by Professor M.

None of BEN STRODD I HOSPITAL Husky Berkeley Captain Is Suffering From a Severg Abscess in His Right Ear Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, 2148 Center street, Oct. 24 Consternation spread In the ranks of Berkeley's football enthusiasts to-day when it ~became known that Ben Stroud, the center and captain of the blue and gold eleven, had been retired to the hospital with a severe abscess in the right ear and that an o tion was deemed Imperative. Though Coach Hopper is non-committal on the subject the fear g expressed by members of the football team that Stroud’s disabil- ity may become so serious as to keep him out of the big game.. The big center’s disability comes as the culmination of several "weeks’ trouble. A severe cold in the head, contracted early in the season, re- cently - developed into abscess in the ear. Though Stroud’s malady was thought serious by the coaches no ces- sation from practice was allowed him and it was trusted that the daily ministrations of a physiclan would re- duce the affection. Since this has proved unavailing the blue and gold hopes have taken a decided slump. The loss of Captain Stroud would have a disastrous effect on Berkeley’s eleven. One of the heaviest men on the team and a sure pin upon which the whole rush line hangs, Stroud is a player who could not be well spared from the team. His moral strength as captain of the eleven is equally val- uable to the players’ spirit. —_——— Maccabees Hold Convention.

Morse Stephens of the University of California, was given last night in the art gallery of Mechanics’ Pavilion. The hall was well filled and Profes- sor Stephens’ discourse was thorough- ly enjoyed. . The speaker prefaced his remarks on the “Wars of the Consulate” by an original pen picture of Napoleon. He distinguished the real difference be- tween “the thin, meager, spare Napo- leon” of the Consulate period and the corpulent Napoleon of the later pe- riod, which is the popular conception of the great war hero. He also impressed the fact that the general conception of Napoleon's re- turn from Egypt was that the com- ing of the little corporal saved France. This view Professor Stephens contradicted by showing that the yic- torious Russian army had been ef- fectually destroyed in the Alps through the efforts of General Mas- sena and that the political situation was further pacified by the signing of the memorable convention - of Alt- mann—the crowning victory of Brune. —_——— MARUECHI WOULD BE POLLOK'S SUCCESSOR Henry Maruechl, manager Hotel Adams at Denver ::: f:r‘m:rhx; connected with several hostelries on both continents, arrived here yester- day and is staying at the Occidental Hotel.
