E.J. CRANE of Menlo Park, the Democratic candidate for the Assembly at the last general election, made a pleasant call on the Index today. Mr. CRANE was recently appointed postmaster at Menlo Park by the President and will take charge as soon as his bonds are approved, the Senate having already confirmed his nomination.
Mrs. J.W. MELVIN left Monday for Napa, being joined on Wednesday by Mr. MELVIN, and they spent Thanksgiving with friends at that place.
At the Clabby-Logan fight in Daly City yesterday “Sunny Jim: COFFROTH had as special guests two distinguished gentlemen, Samuel GOMPERS, president of the American Federation of Labor, and Supervisor A. J. GALLAGHER, president of the San Francisco Labor Council. Speaking of “Sunny Jim,” the weather clerk was so unwise as to predict rain in San Francisco Thursday – evidently not understanding that the wizard COFFROTH, never allows it to rain when he has a boxing contest on.

Double Engagement Announcement
A San Bruno correspondent of the Times-Gazette has the following interesting in which two of Colma’s fairest daughters figure as prospective brides.
Rumor, which seems to be pretty well confirmed, is circulating in the social circles of the north end of the county, that a double engagement of more that usual interest is soon to be announced. The rumor affects the two handsome and engaging daughters of Supervisor Jas. T. CASEY. According to the report, Miss Elsie, the elder of the two daughters, is preparing to make formal announcement of her engagement to Frank BARRETT, a prominent contractor of San Francisco. At the same time Miss Margaret, who is also a strong social favorite of this section, will make known her engagement to Robert SAVAGE, a well-to-do farmer of Half Moon Bay and brother of William J. SAVAGE, principal of the Colma Vista Grande schools.
