and Burglar, in Jail.

William O'Brien. young opium iend,
was locked up in the City Prison yesterday
on a charge OF burglary.
O'Brien is an old hand at his business,
and from all accounts is an expert too
Two years ago he was arrested for his
connection with the theft of $4,000 worth
of jewelry from the house of Mrs. PADDY on
Olive avenue, on Sunday afternoon when
the residents of the house were not at

With trained assistant, it is said by the
police, he has been in the wholesale bur

CROOKED RETURNS.
Census EnumeratOr Who Blindly Re
cord ed All Bnhn-BaiI PIaYers.

A Census EnumerAtOr Who Blindly Re
cord ed All Baseball Players.
A son Of ex-CensuS Supervisor Sheehan
is employed in the census Office as an assist
ant 10 Deputy Fields. Young Sheehan is
an enthusiastic admirer of the national
game, and knows every player of promi-
nence on the Coast.
He was on Tuesday revising some OF the
blanks of an enumerator who had detail
on Market street when he perceived the
name of a prominent member OF the Peta-
luna Baseball Club recorded as living in
lodging house in the district. Directly be-
low this name was that OF another member
OF the same club, also recorded as living in
the same house, and this IN turn was fol-
lowed by another.
Young Sheelian took off his coat and fell
to inspecting the returns Of that enumera-
ton with closer attention. The result was
the discovery of 500 names of the members
of the various baseball clubs throughout
this State including all III the California
State League
These had been recorded, at the rate of
cents per name, by the enterprising enum-
orator as living in lodging-nOuses III his
district, and with the personal data at
tached. The enterprlsing enumerator
had made So by one days stuiing, and
rant for his arrest, was looking for that
enumerator all day yesterday, but up TO
late hour had not succeeded IN finding him.
Supervisor Davis reports that the COM
bined population Of TOmaleS aud Point
Reyes townships, in Marin County, was in
1889 1883 souls. III 1880 it is 1912. He also
reports that Township 3, in San Mateo
County, which includes PescaderO, had in
1880 population of 1113, while in 1890 it
only shows record Of 1011.
The work of the enumeration is practi-
eally done. The returns will probably be
forwarded to Washington on Saturday.

j. r. Nye of Rausch street has mounted
and polished and exhibited yesterday a
most curious freak of nature. The same is
trunk of an orange tree, grown in Pesca-
dero and ending in most singular tangle
of twisted and gnarled roots, grown into
each other or hanging. These branches as
sumed various shapes of human limbs or
animal forms, the effect of which has been
heightened by carving. On the roots were
also swells or prolongations in forms of a
lizard, a foX's head, etc, whose outlines of
course have been made truer by the carver's
knit. The base of the trunk took the lines
of head and bearded face, natures work
upon which has also been rounded.
