MANY AFFIDAVITS s
Oakland's Poad Prepares
Some Evidence.

OAKLAND.-The railroad company is
certainly driven to dire straits, judging
from the class of affidavits it is having
Fortin g. Co. for the land about and in
cluding the foot of Castro street.
Yesterday afternoon seventy six affi-
davits were taken before Notary Dusn-
bury on Ninth street. and while among
those swearing were some respectable
looking men, the main portion of those
seventy-six affidavits bear the signatures
Of men who are among the riffraff that go
to make up the shifting iDc0mpetents of a
big city.
What these men were asked to help the
railroad out in was to swear that Castro
street had not been an open street for ten
years except for the passage of Fortin's
teams and occasional dumpcarts.
But the signing and swearing to these
documents was not the worst Of it. After
the American sovereign had affixed his sig

which was an order for So. This little
ticket was presented elsewhere and the
man presenting the same got his little So.
1t seems to have been pretty we'll adver-
tlsed. too, among this class of people, for
there was plenty of material about of the
SO variety.
An excuse the friends of the railroad
company made for this shameless piece of
work was that these men bad to leave
their work and of course expected to be
paid for their loss of time.
1t seems that the men got their orders
from some one in nearby saloon, who is
said to have been E. III. Woolsey. the man
whom the railroad company left on guard
at the foot of Castro street and who beat
such hasty retreat from that neighbor-
hood when the 10000 Oaklanders made
their charge on the fence.
There is humorous side TO this story,
too. After man had learned" his So he
would think of some friend who would be
willing to do as little labor for a like
amount
One man in particular brought around a
young fellow to swear, but before he ar
rived the notary had closed his office and
gone home. A wag in the vicinity told
him that party across the street wan ted

College Play.
The junior class has chosen farce based
on college life and abounding in college
hits and take-offs for their Junior day pre-
sentstion. The play was written by Miss
Feusier, a member of the class. and will be
presented by class members of histrionic
ability. The parts are now being assigned
and learned and rehearsals will commence
in few days. December l will probably
be the day selected for the exercises.

The Libel Case.
After hearing the evidence of the four
Supervisors, Messrs. Martin. Palouze.
Morgan and Bailey, and testimony from
Supervisors Clerk Crane, the case of Bar
Der against Porter for libel was closed
yesterday and the arguments began.
Judge Gibson opened the argument for
the defense, and spoke until quite late in
the afternoon, when court adjourned until
Tuesday morning next. Ii is thought the
arguments will all be finished on that day
and the case given to the jury.
Found in a stupor.
An old man nearly so years Of age was
picked up near the sidewalk on Lake ave-
nue. al Z 80 o'clock last evening, just on the
East Oakland shore of Lake Merritt. He
had evidently fallen down from what is
supposed to have been an attack of heart
disease. He could not give his name or
any information leading to his identity.
He was taken to the Receiving Hospital,
where he is now being cared for.
