der Sheriff Harlow
Must Go.

OAKLAND. "A vigorous battle has al
ready started in for the position of Speaker
Of the new Assembly, and from the looks
of things Alameda promises to play a
most important part. and will, In all likeli-
hood, carry off the prize.
The leading candidate for the position
in this county is G. G. Dodge of the law
firm of Dodge & Fry of Oakland, who was
elected to represent the Ffty-first District
over Pringle. his Democratic opponent,
by 765 votes. Mr.. Dodge was the repre-
sentative from the same district in the
preceding Legislat ure. and made first
class anti-mOnopoly record. upon which
he made his canvass at the last election.
There is also another candidate from
Alameda County for the position. This is
j. A. Waymire of Alameda, who was
trict.
PItted against these two Is Assem- blyman
Lynch of San BernardinO, who has also
had some legislative experience. having
served with Mr.. Dodge ia the preceding
Legislature. Waymire has had no parlia-
mentary experience.
Some of The friends of the two Alameda
candidates have been trying TO get ore or
the other of the two tn withdraw, and it is
thought that Waymlie will probably step aside
get in, and Will also further aid him by using
his best endeavors in his behalf.
MIR. Dodge has many friends In the new body
who sat with him in the old, and they will al
mos TO man give him their support. He has
received word from all of them i'll the sys-
tematic canvass he has entered upon, and does
not seem to have the least fear but that he VIII
gel the plum.
In conversation with Mr.. Dodge he seems to
regard MS chances as very bright, and says
from careful review of the field he does not
see how ne can be defeated.
Did Not MateriaIize.
Ever since the train robbery at Sacramento
last month the officials of the railroad and ex-
press companies have been moving he ven and
earth TO ind the perpetrators, and have fol-
lowed every suspicous-looking stranger with
notwithstanding bundle who happened in the
State.
The latest report was that a suspicious-Iook-
Ing trunk was shipped to Oakland on Monday,
and il was supposed TO contain most of the
$4,000 said TO have been stolen.
Yesterday thorough Investigation was made
in Oakland for the trunk but 1t did not materI-
alZe; nor did the Wells-FargO people know
anything about the receipt OF such trunk. An
Oakland lOcksmith says he went with man 10
Wells: Fargo offices yesterday morning, pre-
sum ably Detective Hume, and there OPP ned two
trunks and afterward again closed them. He
did not know wha was In the trunks. So far as
be could tell there was nothing but clot hing.
The locksmth was paid dollar and quarter
for bis work. But the Wells'Fargo people de.
MED this story.
The suppostion now is that III ere were some
trunks examined, and If they had contained
any portion OF the booty the world would have
known 1t.
