by the Waves.
stop-0ver Privileges Denied = Signature Of
Papers in the Merritt Estate-Prehistoric
Remains Found in Alameda.

The body OF man was discovered in the
water south of the Oakland Mole yesterday
forenoon, about halfway to the pier, by NJ.
Lathrop, who notified the Coroner, who re-
moved the body to the Morgue. The pockets
of his clothing were turned inside out and
two of them were cut 1t is believed that
the remains were discovered by some boat
man with not overly conscientious scruples,
who ri1ed the pockets and then left the
body to float, knowing it would be carried
to the shore. The sum of So, allowed by
the county, does not pay for the trouble of
appearing before the Supervisors, and wait
ing for the claim to be allowed and the
money paid. 1t is said to be too much
trouble to tow body from near the
Oakland shore to San Francisco for
the $40 paid there. The theory of foul
play has been advanced, but there is
nothing on the body to indicate it. Some
slight bruises on the head and cuts on
the hands may have been caused by the
washing back and forth on the rocks along
the mole. The only things found in the
pockets were card of j. l.. Baloun, tailor
in San Francisco, and railroad ticket be-
tween Sixte enth street and Berkeley. The
body was identified, however, last evening
by Baloun as Frank YOb, aged So. Baloun
had given him So ON Tuesday and sent him
over TO a man named SchleStick at Butcher
town to fiud work. Yob had some trouble with
his wife some time ago on farm near Santa
Rosa, and was low-spirited and downhearted.
II is supposed that he committed suicide.
