Frederick Fredericton and the Railroad.
Only the Cock Missing-A Missing Boy.
The Primary Election.

The railroad has throttled Frederick
Frederickson Of Alameda. Itmakes no dis
elimination against Frederick Frederickson
as an individual any more than 1t would
against other Individuals and, ia fact, never
heard Of him until he had the hardihood to
buy a house and lot on Railroad avenue
east of Everett street, spending the savings
of years to provide q home for his family,
The railroad considered him an intruder on
its private property. Railroad avenue, 10
the company, was only strip of land
through which the company had the right Of
way. So the company put up high fence
at each crossing, obstructing all travel to
vehicles, and making virtual prisoners OF
Mr.. Frederickson and his family. There is
no approach TO his house because Of
the fence. When Mr.. Frederickson goes
home each night he has 10 walk on the
private properly" OF the railroad, and
either scale the fence or go through mis-
cradle opening he has made like trespass-
Grand ali this after paying good money for
his house and lot. He wants TO know when
1t is going TO end. He has engaged an at
torney TO interccde With the company and
ask for right OF way 10 his home. Per-
haps he will get it. and perhaps he won't.

Nothing has ever vet been heard of
Thomas Orval Humphrey. the 14-year-old
boy who mysteriously disappeared from
his home in this city last May. His parents
have long since given him up for dead, and
to CALL reporter last evening member
of the family expressed the belief that he
had either been drowned or spirited away
by tramps and murdered. Cheerful and
buOyant, he went out one morning and the
earth opened and swallowed him up, so far
as outward appearances went He had no
money and no means Of subsiStng. He
has been advertised everywhere, but no one
has ever seen him. 1t is mystery sur

Enoch Hughes. one of the jurors in the
waterfront suit, testified the other day that
he is a foreman in the street-eleaDing de-
partment and that he occasionally accepted
dollar or so from Mr.. Forth for dumping
dirt on his land. The dollar or so was al
ways given for the purpose OF buying beer
for the laboTers. Since giving this truthful
testimony Mr.. Hughes has been reduced to
the ranks Of common lab0rer in the Street
Department., and he and his friends are in
dignant, believing that 1t was done because
OF his statement to the attorneys, who un-
mercfully quizzed him.
