SAN FRANCISCO, July 27th.-The Oak
lands were on their mettle to-day, fielding
and batting unusually well. Zeigler was
compelled to send the ball over the center
OF the plate by the umpire, and the Oak
land boys had no trouble in finding him.
On the other hand. Farrell pitched good,
strong game, keeping the Sacramentos
from hitting safely.
Wilson played a splendid game at third.
making some foul catches that seemed al
most impossible. The game was interest
ing, despite its one-sided character. Syl-
westerns decisions on two occasions were
decidedly against the Sacramentos, and
took from them run. Otherwise his
work was satisfactory. Following is the
score:

Am Arm Manrled hr Cars.

Early yesterday morning, as one of the
switch engines was removing some freight
cars from the track along side the sheds on
Front street, the cry of man was heard
after the cars had been moved short dis
lance. The locomotive was stopped, and it
was found that the mans arm had been
run over by the car. He was taken to the
Receiving Hospital, and thence to the
County Hospital. He was thought to be
intoxicated and asleep at the time of the
accident. Amputation of the limb will not,
it is thought. be necessary.

Fine Stock for the Fair.

To show that much interest is already
being taken in the coming State Fair, it
may be mentioned that William J. Fryer,
of Colusa county, came to the city yester-
for twenty five head of thoroughbred Dur
hams. The ranch on which these cattle
are raised is at Sites, Colusa county. at the
terminus of the narrow gauge road, and
has an area of 5000 acres. A specially of
thoroughbred Durhams is made, and as
evidence of their success it may be men,
toned that their exhibit of twenty-three

from this ranch also took the first herd

Supreme Court Decision Published Be.
fore Having been Filed.
1t is noticeable fact that the San Fran
cisco papers publish Supreme Court opin-
ions in cases which belong to the Sacra-
mento District long before they are received
for filing at the Clerks office here, in some
instances two or three days ahead of the
day on which they are received here, and
it is question as to whether or not the
Secretary OF the Court has a right to di-
vulge the contents of an opinion before it
is filed in the proper office. In some
cases where Sacramento District opinions
are published in the Bay papera they are
announced as having been filed on a GER
tain Gay, and yet they do not get to the
office here until couple of days afterwards
when they are then properly filed. Giving
publicity TO the contents of an opinion be-
fore it is filed is not the proper thing, if,
indeed, it is safe thing to do.

PEARSON'S WILL.
1t Embraces Over Million. Dollars
Worth of Property in Chicago.

1t Embraces Over Million. Dollars
Worth of Property in Chicago.
CHICAGO, July 27th-To reporter who
saw him in regard TO Hiram Pearson's will,
7. G. Hill, 10 whom be bequeathed S400,-
600 for charity, said: THE Chicago prop
erty mentioned as being owned by Pear
son no longer belongs to the estate, and
there is nothing to bequeath. The Supreme
Court sometime ago decided that Pearson
had no title in the property. The will was
evidently drawn before the Supreme Court
decision was given" The property claimed
by Pearson was in the Walker addition in
the lumber districts on the southwest side,
along the south branch of the river. Pear
sons father purchased the property along
in the thirties and subdivided it, LAYING
out streets. etc., but in 1912 sold it to
Samuel Walker. Walker re-platted the
land, and the streets he made diagonally
crossed those laid out by Pearson. The
latter purported to have found an old stat
ute providing that Walkers REPEATING of
the land, or certain portions of it, reverted
to him (Pearson). The Courts upheld this
view of the case, and Pearson got back his
lands, which descended to the SON. A year
ago the Supreme Court decided that the
claim was invalid.
A dispatch from San Francisco says: "a
Vi the tStdte Vi the ldt6 L. n. EAR
son, OF San Francisco, in Cook county will
be bequeathed to II. c.. Hill, of Western
Springs, to be used for charitable purposes
Hill was visited by reporter. He said he
had not been notified that he was made
one of the executors of the will. Pearson
told him he intended to lease his property
in this county fol charitable purposes as
far back as 1882. Hill thinks it will
amount to about 100000, bat it is in real
estate, the title to which is in dispute and
has been for many years."
A member of the firm oS attorneys for
Pearson says this property here amounts to
next to nothing. 1t was largely in the way
of expectations on a claim to streets and
alleys in property plated by his father
away back in the thirties. This property
his father sold and it was replatted. I'm
der the law that when a street or alley is
vacated it reverts to, the original owner,
young Pearson expected to realize largely
from the present hold he has of the prop
erty, but the Supreme Court decided the
test case against him last year, and all his
nj hnr suils have hooD xuifhdraup

Gypsies in Tronhle.

Special Water Inspector Brissell and
officer Harris yesterday arrested couple
of the gypsies who are camping at Nine
tenth and Z streets on charges of violating
Ordinance No. 240, regulating the water
rates of the city. 1t seems that these itin-
Grant citizens have about dozen horses in
their possession, which they have been in
the habit of watering at neighboring
troughs, thereby avoiding the payment of
water rates. They refused to pay, and
Brissell procured warrants and, with ths
assistance of officer Harris, arrested the
men. The latter put up deposits and were
released

The JncInto,s Trlal Trlp.

The new steamer Jacinto recently built
on the water front OF this city by the Sacra-

her trial trip, and proved entirely sati.fac-
tory. Her machinery worked smoothly,
and. taken in all, she is considered a COM
plete success. Her boilers were manufac-
tured by Cunningham Bros, and her en-
sines were made By Root, Nelson & Co.
On her trial trip she went down the river
as far as the brickyards and back. Among
those who went on the trial trip were Cap
tsins Dwyer and Roberts, of the Navigation
Company, and Messrs. Roof and Nelson.
She will be commanded by Captain J. H.

The Stocktons Pile Up Their Seventh Con-
secutiye Game,


secutiye Game.
STOCKTON, July 27th.-The Stocktons had
their batting clothes on to-day, and de
feated the San Franciscos with ease, max
ing their seventh consecutive victory.
Barry was sized for eleven hits, with total
of twenty-one bases. Harper was also hit
safely eleven times, but the HRS were all
singles, and several, especially those by
Levy, were very scratchy
The Stocktons PILED up eight runs in the
first inning, Howard rapping out home
when the bases were full. This lead was
too great for the San Franciscos, but they
played good up hill game, Levy getting
four hits out of five times at the bat.
Ebright and SWEET rendered their pitchers
splendid support, and stolen bases were re-
markably few. Powers at first played
great ball. Following is the score:

ABOUT ALARM CLOCKS.

According to- an Old Watc.1- aIahor They
C.tn %ot 10 EcpcndcG On.
My advice to those who ~. i nee
essary 30 r.sn early is, DO LoG depend
on q single alarm clock The human
mind is so constituted that it soon be-
comes accustomed to oft repeated
sounds, and viii Q 1 am not prepared
TO Gay that an alarm clock will not be
heard, | can safc.y predict that IL will
not long BIZ II o,led by its owner.
There arc people whose habits arc
so regular that they habituaIly awake
about tho time their alarms arc
sprung. They would be surprised
into wakefu.ness if their alarms failed
to act, and it is quito probable that
they wnu.d awake at about the same
limo without tho use of such q clock.
If tho no and character of the sound
of an alarm clock could be changed
onco IL week, the result would be worry
different. One would then have no
opportunity to acquire the familiarity
which broeG5 contempt.
l once sod an alarm clock to q
friond whose irregular hours rendered
it difficult for him to rise in timo for
business. For few days he was de-
lighted with his purchase. Ono day
he entered my store and declared that
1t no longer alarmed him at the hour
for which he set it. He asserted that
he was sure the time-piece was out of
order. [ gave him another clock with
u bell of different tone, and told him
to set it 81 quarter earlier than his
own, 80 he would be awake at the
hour of tho latter's alarm. He did so,
and week later informed me that the
clock / hnd sold him faithfully per-
formed its duty every morning. He
also purchased tho clock / had lent
