Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Dec. 20. All political parties and pleces of par- ties are now engaged in casting about for a suitable candidate to head their ticket. Names are being freely suggested as they always are in this city, and it is very evi- dent that this year at least the office will not seek the man. The list up to date s as follows: Gliles H.

There is at present a good City Central Committee, with a good man at its head, and the appointments made would in all probability be good ones. But I object to this method.

His Sweetheart Failed to Elope With Him and Her Folks Afterward Mourned a Burned Barn. The fervent Spanish love of P. J. Castro of Santa Cruz was thwarted, and as Is often the case of such condition in the heart affairs of such natives and such natures, turned to vindictiveness, and the young man is in jail eharged with arson. The arrest was made in this city yester- day evening by Deputy Sheriff W. A. Corey of Santa Cruz. The prisoner was taken before Judge Mogan, where his bail was fixed at $2000. He will be taken to Santa Cruz by Deputy Sheriff Corey this morning. Castro is the great-grandson of the old Mexican whose name {s woven in the his- tory of California, and whose leagues of land once lapped over hill after hill of this broad State. This was before the active “gringo’’ secured the title deeds of the indolent Spanish pioneer's patrimony and relegated him some half-ruined adobe building outside of the boundary lines of his lost estate. Young Castro about a year ago fell in love with a beautiful Santa Cruz girl named Annie Perez, one of his own race, and like him a remnant of a perishing name. The girl Is not only pretty, but is well educated—a treasure which' the youth appreciated and bent every latent energy of his being to possess. _She at that period was 15 years old and the ipves of these two descendants of Castile flowed on as smoothly as the little brooks across the lost domains of the Castros. She was attending school and Castro planned to abduct the needless to say with her full consent. He was to meet her near the institution one night and she was to steal out from the father building a_cannon out of a piece of gas pipe. They loaded an old pistol car- | tridge with powder and attempted to ex- | plode it witn a fuse. It did not go off | soon enough to satisfy Salsbach, and de- spite of the protest of Clark Salsbach | peeked down the barrel with his right | Simultancously there was an ex- plosion and the boy fell to the floor writh- ing in pain. The pistol shell had been driven from the gas pipe cannon by the explosion, and striking the lad’s eye, had forced it out of the socket. Alameda Municipal League. ALAMEDA, Dec. 20.—The Municipal League failed to nominate a ticket for the ring_clection at its meeting last even- The session was called for that pur- but some of the wise ones argued that such action would be {ll-advised for the reason that their nominees would be exposed for too great a length of time to the onslaughts of the opposition.

He was en- gaged in various enterprises during his Fesldence In this city and at his feath was connected with a Kentucky liquor house.

No Santa Cruz Loch- invar sped away over the valleys and mountains of the Coast Range that night nor any other night. No fleet steeds fol- lowed the runaways over bracken and heather as was the case in the story of Scott's young border ruffian and his stolen lady. She—the Santa Cruz girl— changed her mind, and the disappointed Castro rode slowly home meditating on revenge. Her relations had heard of the proposed flight and had succeeded in con- vincing her that most any son of a gringo was better than the impoverished sclon of a noble though acreless name. Young Castro's fancies were then filled with thoughts of revenge, and he await- ed the time when he could strike at the Perez family. Of course he talked of the feud and his threats were often heard by the meighbors. Consequently when a barn belonging to the Perezes was burned on the 5th of this month, together with five valuable horses, wagons, farming im- plements and a quantity of hay, suspicion naturally fell on Castro. He had been | seen hanging around the place at all| hours of day and night, and the case| against him was so strong that a warrant was sworn out for his arrest and placed | in the hands of Deputy Sherift Corey, who made the arrest.

Stanford Parlor, No. 76, of the Native Sons of the Golden West held its Christ- mas high jinks last night in Shasta Hall of the Native Sons’ bullding. It was for members only and a very limited num- ber of invited guests. There was the trial of Henry S. Martin, Sheriff-elect, W. Phelps, Supervisor-elect, and a number of other members upon absurd charges before Police Court 4-11-44, presided over by Justice of the Peace Barry, with Justice F. H. Kerrigan as prosecuting attorney, E. C. Willlams, clerk, and Sergeant Martin of the police force as balliff. A jury was selected and accepted on the ground of its iack of in- telligence, and in the travesty that fol- lowed there were many sharp hits at the judiclal system. In the case of Phelps the accused was the only witness called and the jury after hearing his testimony declded that the prosecuting attorney was the guilty one, and he was ordered locked up in a large crate, marked Jail No. 2, until he drank three glasses of beer. His imprisonment lasted just two min- utes. All the other cases were submitted in a bunch and the jury fined the judge 81 for not knowing his business. During the trial there were many witty sayvings and the farce was productive cf much amusement. After the travesty on justice Joe Inter- venor Greenberg appeared as Santa Claus and taking his stand under a large tree beautifully dressed and lighted with numerous tapers, distributed to each of the members a number of gifts of the most ridiculous character, but productive of much mirth. During the evening W. Finney favored with songs and the com- mittee, consisting of A. F. Schleicher, F. H. Jung, C. D. Steiger, Joe Greenberg and Herrison Houseworth, had a collation served, also light refreshments. A cage of {'ne oranges sent to the parlor by the parlor In Oroville as a Christmas glft, was distributed.
