RUDE BANDIT FIRES AT POETESS AS SHE WRITES B St 4 On Wednesday after- i noon Miss Pearl Sander- | lin went to Bakers Beach to write poetry.

Sanderlin. a comely | | 1ass of 17 years, San Francisco has a re- markable character. Miss Pearl lives with | her mamma at 9 Washington street, but | | shé loves nature, writes poetry and is| happy when she can steal far from the madding crowd to drink in the divine | | aatus. | {on the -hillsides Wednesday = afternoon | Miss Pearl felt that the spell of poetry | was upon her, so she hurriedly boarded | {a car and rushéd toward the sad sea, | | never stopping until she had found a se- | | cluded spot over the surging Golden Gate | | In_the vicinity of Bakers Beach. | | The young lady went there to write | | poetry, carrying in her mind visions of | Tennyson, of Byron, of Poe and others | Who have written apostrophes to the surging matn—and in her reticule a 22 | caliber revolver, for Miss Pearl is some- what of a shot as well as a poet. The young woman's cxperiences during the afternoon would furnish material for a volume—not of poetry, as she had planned, but of adventures and halr- breadth escapes by the thundering sea, which she had hoped to pacify by her poems. | | | | ) | 1 | " After drinking in the inspiration of hek | | isolated sitting with nature for some ’momen!s Miss Pearl began to write her | | poem, beginning— ‘ 1 stand amid the roar | Of a surf-tormented shore, | And hold within my hand | | Grains of golden sand— | But she got no further before there was a violent interruption. The inter- | | preter of nature heard a stir of scurrying | | feet. Looking behind her she beheld a | monstrous six-footer with a revolver—a | | masked and bewhiskered highwayman. | He fired five shots with such rapidity as | to suggest a weapon of the automatic | magazine type, but the divine afflatus ! was with her and the villain's shots could not penetrate the halo. Not a sin- gle bullet struck the daughter of the muses. | Dropping her manuscript, the practical | lover of rhyme opened her purse, pulled out her little revolver and began to emp- | ty its contents in the direction of the scoundrel who had broken into her train of thought. Realizing that he would surely give up the ghost unless he be- stirred. himself, the bandit ungallantly Knocked Miss Banderlin's weapon into the sea. Vandalism was soon getting the | best of literature in the strange battle by the waves, but the child of t=spiration had a card up her slecve, so to speak, and the wretch who had interfered with her poetry was soon discomfited to such | an extent that Miss Pearl believes he is | languishing somewhere in mortal.pain. In a twinkling the young woman re- | called her anatomical accomplishments and dealt the vandal a kick that would have done justice to Fay Templeton, darling high-kicker of comic opera. One blow from her little foot settled the van- | dal. Miss Pearl remembers no more. Her | assailant’s remains have npt been found by the police. | Corporal Van Meter and Private War- | | moth of the Seventh Coast Artillery { found the young lady wandering fright- | ened and speechless about 8 o’clock of | | the evening she had set aside for the ! completion of her poem. She was in the | southwest corner of the Presidio, her | | poem lost, her revolver in the sea. She is | confined to her apartments just now, but | | has hopes of finishing the poem some | ! sunny afternoon. She denies reporters the pleasure of hearing her narrative, but | to Corporal Morrissey and George F. | Mulcahey of the detective force she gave out the following statement yesterday ' afternoon: | “"Yesterday about 3 o’clock T boarded an | Bllis-street car and went to the beach for ia ride. Fleft the car at Bakers Beach ! i and, finding a large rock, I sat down and | began wriling poetry, when a large man, | who must have been over six feet tall . and who wore a mask and false whiskers, | came up behind me and caught me by ; the shoulder. 1 tried to get awdy from . him, when he pulled out his gun and fired | | five shots at me. Then it occurred to me !that 1 had my 2-caliber pistol in my | purse, and I pulled that and. began to ! shoot, when he knocked it out of my | hand, into the water. I then kicked him Em a vital place and put him out of com- | ! mission. After that I knew no more until.| 1 found myself at the Presidio, and, with | the aid of kind friends, I reached home ut midnight.” “Although there were powder marks on the girl's shirtwaist, there were no signs of violence, and the police are inclined to believe that it all existed in her own mind.

With her parents, Mary had| gone to this neighboring camp to spend the evening around the campfire. The young people were engaged in playing games when a party of soldiers, who were passing by, stopped to-join in the merrymaking. Outside the glow of the campfire, which was within a few rods of the river, the shadows were intensely dark. While running in 2 circle around the fire Miss Garrigan, without a mo- ment’s warning, came to the edge of the river bank and fell into the water. Corporal Potts, who was near the spot, jumped into the river in an effort to save the girl, but was unable to do so, barely escaping with his own life. Yates then made the attempt, but was drawn under the current and drowned. ! Both bodies were recovered shortly af- terward and were brought to the vil- age. Eflu Garrigan was the eldest of the family and the idol of her invalid mother, whose health it was hoped to benefit by a trip to the valley. John Yates was 21 years of age.
