police were promptly notified of the steal
Ing and Mary was captured at Twelfth
and Lynden streets with the articles in
her possession. She broke down upon
being questioned by Chief Schaffer and
Detective DOwney and confessed her
guilt.
Her circumstances have not been of the
best and her home life before she entered
upon her present employment was often
anything but happy for the young girl.
Her recent employers have treated Mary
with invariable kindness and the new
home would doubtless have been pleas
ant one could she have restrained her in
clinatiOns TO make money too rapidly.
Mary Brown at the City Prison was a
very different person from Mary Brown
the cook. Her repentance was genuine
and she sobbed and wept bitterly when
conveyed to her cell.
1t is not probable that her late employ
ers will make life any more unhappy for
Mary by prosecuting her.
She was taken to the City Prison and
lodged on a charge of grand larceny. The
goods are valued at $3.50
YOUTHFUL RUNAwAYs.- Two little
nephews of }. ID. lubbock of $40 North
Third street, San Jose, left their uncle's
house Saturday night, and taking the Oak
land train shook the dust of San Jose off
their feet without so much as saying
good-by.
lubbock came home early in the even
Ing and inquired for his nephews, whose
absence seemed unnecessarily prolonged.
His family knew nothing OF the boys,
and in great alarm lubbock telegraphed
City PrisOn-keeper Swain TO look out for
TWO little TunawayS who might possibly
come to Oakland.
lubbock also suggested that an officer
be sent to the little fellows grandmother's
home at 1l6S Eighth street, in this city.
The request was complied with and there
the boys were found, happy as larks and
jubilant over the success of their adyen-
ture.
The grandmo other refused TO give the
Doys up, claiming that she had as much
right to them as their uncle had. She had
her way. too, and there is now prospect of
habeas corpus case in the near future.
LEFT TO FoAL AND DIE.-Chief of Po-
lice Schatfer is just now going about with
blood in his eye. He is looking for the
beartless pieceiof humanity who, four or
five days ago, left a mare with fOal in a
vacant lot to die.
The poor animal had neither water or
food. Only rank growth of weeds was
in the lot.
Saturday she had been in the lot about
four days, and the attention of the neigh
boIs was only drawn to her after she had

few hours before her death she gave birth
to colt.
Constable Lerrle was notified of the
animal and efforts were made to put her
on her feet, but she was too far gone. The
Constable at last was compelled to put the
animal out of its misery with pistol
bullet.
The neighbors are trying 10 care for the
colt, feeding il from bottle.
SOME ADVANTAGE IN OWNING LITTLE.
VI course poverty is not the best thing in
the world, but there are some advantages
In owning little in the shape of real estate.
a man went in to the Office of the Superin-

pald 81 his assessment on sewer work.
He did not own the whole block In the
vicinity of that sewer
1here has also been assessments as low
as cents on macadamizing work. This is
IN cases where only few inches of prop
er1y would be affected by improvements.
Ihere may be some little consolation in
these things to the men who pay assess
ments running up in the thousands.
