Judge Ogden's Enemies.
Judge Ogden. who is a candidate for re-
election to the Superior bench. has been
somewhat slighted so far as representa-
ton for himself is concerned in the make
MP of the election boards 10 the Second
Ward. His friends feared treachery IL
this ward and acc rdingly submitted list
OF names TO put on the precinct boards.
In only one precinct was the Judge given
a snow, ana in an ther precinct a man
was put on the board who was openly cp-
posed to Ogden. Another man on this
same board was also opposed to that gen.
teman. and in raking over his past history
1t was found that he was an ex-coDvict. A
message to Warden Hale at San Quentin
brought back the following answer:
SAN QUENTIN PRISON

Received September %, 1881, from Lake
County; three years; attempt at chiId-stealing.
Was committed and discharged December l6,
1882. W E. Hale. Warden
The friends of Judge Ogden have made
vigorous protest against the retention of
these men on the board, but so far with
cut effect, and have now determined to
keep up vigilant watch against fraud be-
lug pTaciced.
A Mysterious Railroad Deal
The citizens who oppose the construction
OF street railway on Eleventh street evil
IDENTIFY do not propose to lose their fight
because of a lack OF injunctiOns, for an
other one was issued yesterday 10 Mr..

that the Alameda, Oakland and Piedmont
and the High land Park roads wish to
build along Eleventh street. 1t is well
known that the former road has been try
ing tD get the franchise On Twelfth street
and yesterday the rumOr gained currency
that the Alameda road had gained control
of the Highland Park road by buying up
the stock held by Z. c. Sessions, who con-
tIolled the company.

had sold the rOao, but admitted the con-
SUNNI alton of deal mutually advanta-
geOus TO both companies and he insisted

To say that c. r. Bennett, ex-seeretary

pleased with his attorney, William Brassey,
would be putting it lightly. Ii ever he

another exhibition of miserable marks
manship. MI Bennett has issued proc
Iama1On TO his many friends notifying
them not to pay any money to Brassey for
the benefit of either him or his family.
He charges that Brassey has received no
less than 500 from his friends by repre-
senting that the money was intended for
his defense and to relieve the wants of his
family. Bennett claims that no part OF
this was turned over To him, and alleges
that Brassey used it all to buy lduor.
