He is a reputable young man and very allve, according to Chief of Police wa wo weeks ago two masked men at- mpted to rob the agent at Keswick manded of him while flourishing n the safe. He did menced firing at the shots were exchanged and f the robbers ran out with the age shooting, pursuing them.

Sharpe of this city left here with his friend George Bartlett and T. J. Blaess for Trinity County during the gold fever last August. Sheriff Hous- ton of Shasta asked Chief Lloyd to in- vestigate the matter and this has been done. Bartlett and Blaess returned to their homes in Oakland last October and arestill here. Sharpe remained be- hind but went to Sacramento, where he still is, several weeks before the robbery at Keswick.

Word has been sent to Shasta County that there will have to be another “identification” of their dead robber. J SMALL BOOK QUESTIONED. Chief of Police Lloyd Threatened With a Suit for False Im- prisonment. OAKLAND, Jan. 8.—E. J. Vander- werker threatens to sue Chief of Police Lloyd for faise imprisonment. He re- | cently surrendered himself to the po- | lice, who wanted him on a charge of fallure to provide for his minor child. His attorney asked for his release on bail but Chief Lloyd refused to allow it, | saying that he was wanted on a charge of felony. He was released on a writ of habeas corpus and now proposes to | fight back. | “The use of ‘small books’ in prisons,” sald Attorney O’Brien to-day, “is out- rageous, although it is practiced in a great many cities, The police have no right to hold a man on suspicion of his being a criminal. A prisoner must be “tdken before the magistrate at the next session of the court after he is arrested, and the official who does not do this is, according to the law on the subject, guilty of a misdemeanor.” “It is customary,” said the Judge, “to pass a case till the next day to allow a complaint to be flled, when the prose- cutfon is not ready to swear to a com- plaint, but I admit that this is hardly right. The time for swearing to a complaint is before or immediately after the arrest, and the prisoner should be arraigned before the nearest magistrate at the next session of court after the arrest. 1If there is no com- plaint, the court should order the pris- oner’s release. The law in the case is very plain, indeed, and it is true, as Attorney O'Brien says, that an officer ALAMEDA COUNTY NEWS. cannot lawfully hold a prisoner with- out taking him before a magistrate.” HARBOURNE'S LIBRARY. Offered to the Pleasanton Com- mittee for a Mere Song. OAKLAND, Jan. 8—Librarian Har- bourne of Alameda is not far away, and this is proved by a letter received by the chairman of the Pleasanton Pub- lic ltbrary committee, from F. A. Wood- worth of Alameda. The contents of the letter would seem to show that Harbourne is quietly disposing of his personal property preparatory to a real departure from his old haunts. The letter say “When the former Alameda librarian, Mr. Harbourne, left here, he wrote me asking me to look out for his wife and boy and 1 have done s0 to the best of 1y ability. Mrs. Harbourne had very little money and 80 was forced to sell her household fur- niture, etc.,, which she did and moved to San Francisco. Among other things, however, which she left was a lot of books, about 135, which she left with me as there was no sale for them, and asked me to see if I coura nos dispose of them for her. “The books are nearly all of them available for your new library or for your old one, for that matter, and 1 have taken the liberty to address you on the matter, thinking that your committee might wish to buy them. They are most of them in splendid con- dition, nearly new, and all well bound. than $200.” With the Theaters. OAKLAND, Jan. 8—The freshness and charm of Bronson Howard’s com edy, “The Henrietta,” are' perennial. With Stuart Robson as Bertie the | Lamb, “The Henrietta” comes to the Macdonough Theater Monday and Tues- day. This is by no means & new play, but it is one in which Mr. Robson has made his greatest success and one which the public always wants to see. That the freshness and charm of this somedy does not die out lies in the fact that it is by far the brightest and, dra- matically, the most effective comedy vet written. Proctor’s Pleasure Party, a highly | recommended Eastern organization, opens at the Oakland Theater Monday evening for a week. Instead of the usual tedious waits between acts, local specialists will be introduced.

Fortunately Lank was able to pro- duce other evidence showing that he had in fact paid the note, and to-day judgment was rendered in his favor. THE POSTMASTERSHIP. Another Petition in Circulation on Behalf of T. W. Leydecker. Other Candidates. ALAMEDA, Jan. 8.—A petition ad- dressed to Senator Perkins and Con- gressman Hilborn was circulated in this city to-day requesting those gen- tlemen to secure the appointment of T. W. Leydecker to the position of post- master of this city, to fill the vacancy now existing by the expiration of the term of T. W. Stoddard, Cleveland's appointee. The petition was largely in ! the nature of a protest against the pro- test sent to President McKinley by a number of prominent ladies of this city against Leydecker's appointment, on the ground that he was once a saloon- keeper on the San Francisco water- front, and, as they averred, was still believed to own an interest in some sa- loon. The present document declares that Mr. Leydecker has long since abandoned the saloon business; that he is a good Republican and has a good record as a city trustee; that he is a capable business man, and would fill the position well and acceptably. The document received many signatures among business men and politicians, for it is undeniable that Leydecker is popular. 1t is understood that if he receives | the appointment Charles Marston will REV.

Not The Tramp Invited Death by Flourishing an Empty Revolver. The Jury Declares That the Killing | Was Justified Under the Cir- cumstances. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Jan. 8. The Coroner's jury has exonerated Officer James Scott of Contra Costa | County for killing a tramp who re- | fused arrest in a box car last Sunday | night. At the time of the tragedy the | victim and five others were in a box | car and when asked to come out one of them pointed a gun at the officer, whereupon he drew his pistol and fired blindly into the car. Officer Scott was looking for the par- ty of tramps when he came across the inhabited box car. Willlam Thomas, chief officer of the ship Pengren, and Richard Hughes, steward of the vessel, | went from Oakland to Port Costa last Sunday night. Soon after getting upon the train they wereassaulted by tramps and Thomas was severely injured on the head. Officer Scott and Deputy | Sheriff Moyles, after hearing of the as- | sault, started out to hunt up the hobos. | The whole six of them were soon found and Scott ordered them to come out| from the car. One of them drew a pis- | tol and threatened to shoot, whereupon | Scott emptied half his revolver into the | car. Deputy Moyles went to Scott's as- sistance and five of the men were taken into custody. This was about 10 o’clock at night, and on groping around in the | darkness in the car the prostrate form | of the sixth man was found. Beneath | him was an unlpaded pistol, and an ‘examination showed that one of the of- ficers’ bullets had ¢ntered his brain, | and although he received medical at- | tention he died during the night. It now appears that the dead man met his fate as the result of foolish- | ness, for the jury exonerated Scott on | the testimony that the tramp had | pointed the pistol at him, and on the theory that Scott was justified in be- lieving it was loaded. Their verdict is generally approved. One of the men under arrest made his escape by weeping and asking that his handcuffs be taken off o that he could help his dying brother. His request was complied with and he has not been seen since. The men who are in jail claim | that the act of Scott was unjustifiable | and that this is the second man Scott has killed within two years. | The testimony at the inquest provedl | l | | that two of the three bullets had struck the tramp who foolishly pointed his un- loaded pistol at the officers. Coroner Curry is anxious to learn | who the dead man was. He went by the name of Pittsburg Jimmy and his arms are heavily tattooed, having upon them the picture of a woman and two children, three flags and an American shield andithe letters “J. F.” He was about 30 vears of age. —_—— Mechanics Install Officers. BERKELEY, Jan. 8§.—The following officers of Paul Revere Council No. 28, Jr. O. U.

Mr. Winslow is also wanted, and if he returns to his home in San Jose tc-night he will be | arrested and brought here. —_——e |A POISONER IN BERKELEY.
