j. w. Osborne. sfarcher of records. I'm
lshed transcript OF the records OF the
Oakland water-frqnt suit, and the same
has been forwaaied to the Attorney
General. 1t is tolhe used in the case Just
brought In the United States Supreme
Court to Quiet tile to the water 'front.'
The volume Is bulky and interesting
one, and will cost the State some $4,000.
In the boox 1t appears that the water
front is twelty-four miles in length, ex-
tending from Brooklyn around to the char
ter line in the bay Of San Francisco.
f. K. Shattuck once purchased the en-
tire strip for S13.
In thecity waterfront case the water
front Company asked for and was grantee
an exte1son of five days in which TO an
swer tie city's attorneys. This will put
the case over to the 25th. The city's at
'orneys say they are all ready to proceed at
any ime.
Receiver at the Oakland.
Charles Sewell, as agent for A. G. Deitz,
the owner of the Oakland Theater, re-
Gently brought suit against George Moth
srsole, the lessee, to recover judgment on
two notes Mothersole had given to secure
the rental of the place. One note was for
$3.50 and the other for $500. The first was
lndorsed by John Hourck. who paid it
when due, but the other remained unpaid,
hence the suits. Yesterday receiver was
put into the theater box-office to take so
much of the receipts as was necessary to
pay the Indebtedness.
Ii seems that the notes had been accepted
by DeitZ's agents as good on rent and a re-
celpt given for the same, and there is some
doubt as to Hourick's responsibility in the
matter.
Burglar Captured.
Henry Williams is the name of colored
man who was arrested yesterday by Chief
Scbaffer and Detectives Downey and Hol-
land and lodged in Jail on a charge OF
stealing gold watch, chain and loeket

closely resembles the man who stole it
that he was locked up and charged.
