L AKLAND, Jan. 21.—The contest for the wardenship of San Quen- tin Prison seems to have begun in Alameda County, and there are already several candidates for the position from this side of the bay. Two men in’ Oakland have already made their desires known to Governor Pardee, and two others feel that they are entitied to consideration. The most active appli- cants are Walter J. Peterson, captain of ce of Oakland, and Oscar L. Rogers, ex-Sheriff of Alameda County, while Wil- llam McCloud and ex-Chief of Police of | Oakland W. F. Fletcher have their ban- ners fluttering upon the outer wall. Captain Walter J. Peterson was the | first man in the fleld from Alameda Coun- ty. Peterson has been the head of the mght force of the Qakland department for several years and has come in close contact with the affairs of the San Quen- tin Prison. In addition to his connection with the Oakland police department he has been a close student of penal affairs and is regarded as a most competent man, Captain Peterson has attracted no lit- tle attention to himself as a lecturer and gpeaker upon affalrs connected with his department.

Z2L—Another mystery has been added to-day to the local records, when the body of a man, apparently a sufcide, was found in an arroyo leading from the canyon between Santa Monica and the Soldiers’ Home. By the side of the body lay a brown vial containing a capsule of morphine. Pa- pers which might have led to the iden- tification of the supposed suicide were scattered over the ground. The man apparently had been dead two weeks. He was about 5 féet 9 inches in height and weighed about 180 pounds. He wore a dark gray suit and a hat. The top of his head was bald a the remaining hair was dark brown. H heavy mustache of the same color was sprinkled with gray. The only thing that may lead to his identification is a memorandum book found in the pocket of the coat. On the flyleaf is written “Miss Helen Klotz, General Delivery, San Francisco.” Found Dead on the Roadside. SAN JOSE, Jan. 21.—The body of Thom- as Bartlett, who resided near Los Gatos, was found to-day beside a dead horse and a wrecked wagon twelve feet below a mill road near that place. He had siarted to deliver a load of wood, and circumstances indicate that he took the wrong road and in trying to turn the gqutfit went off the grade. ——— Union Pacific Wins Decision.
