THE OBERON IS ROBBED,
SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS Is
QUIETLY TAKEN FROM
THE SAFE.
JAMES VANDERvICH, A PORTER
PLACED UNDER ARREST ON
SUSPICION.

E. a. Fischer, proprietor of the Oberon,
saloon and restaurant on O'Farrell
street, near Stockton, mourns the loss of
500 in coin, and one of his porters, James
Vandervich, is in Jail. The latter event
was caused by the first, and both occurred
since 4:30 o'clock Monday morning.
AT that hour Charles Rebman, brother
in-law of Mr.. Fischer, locked the $500 M
in the safe. He was to return about s
o'clock, and therefore did not set the COM
bination of the safe. but turned the knob
only enough to lock it, as was his custom.
He left two porters in the saloon One of
them, Frank Eilsrs, was sweeping and
cleaning the main room; the other, ].
Vanderyich, was working behind the bar
office. " 80
When Rebman returned to the saloon
the two parties were still there A little
later the butcher came and Rebman went
to the safe for some money. He found it
just as he had left it, but on opening the
money drawers he found them all empty.
Vandervich was arrested on suspicion.
He says that only one person entered the
place during Rebman's absence. This, he
said, was the scavenger, who came while
he (Vanderyich) was out. Eilers says the
scavenger went in and out again imrne-
diately. The dishwas her of the establish
ment threw additional suspicion on Van
dervlch by saying that as he came into the
place he passed a man going out who
looked like Vandervich's brother.
There is another circumstance that is
considered to implicate the arrested
party" said Mr.. Fischer last night at is
that he was familiar with the habits of
Mr.. Rebman and knew that the combine
ton was not set. Besides this, the money
consisted of $500 in silver and s4OO in gold,
which was in the drawers. 1t would have
been impossible for one man to carry this
money away in the pockets of his clothes,
and even if he could he would have I'M
doubleday attracted the attention of the
porter while getting it out of the safe
drawers"
No trace of the money has been found.
Other arrests may ensue.

The bottle was picked up by four fisher

James Viosco Jr. at La Paz. The latter
informed the Consul at Guaymas, and he
got the Mexican authorities to send out
the steamer Oaxaca, which picked up the
disabled ship and towed her in. The
Consul also sent a copy of the letter to the
Merchants Exchange here, urging that
assistance be sent, and it arrived just as
the Fearless was coaling at the Green
street wharf.
1t did not take Captain Hawley long to
get the big tug ready as soon as the agents
OF the Sharpshooter said she was wanted.
1t was found impossible to make even
temporary repairs at Guaymas, and Cap

days, and provisions for a month were put
aboard. There will be no difficulty in
handling the bark, and the Fearless will
bring her back almost ns quickly as she

Unknown Dead Man Found.
GRAND HOTEL.

The badly decomposed body of man was
found on the bluffs in the rear of the sutro
Baths yesterday by Henry Martin, who re-
ported the matter at the Morgue. The cloth
ing on the body led the Coroner's deputies to
believe that the man was n workingman,
though nothing was found to indicate his
identity. Dr. Barrett, the autopsy physician
is of the opinion that he must have died of
poison or from natural causes, as there were
no weapons found near the body or any marks
of violence on it.

Jug
SAN JOSE, CAL, Oct 23.-The third
game of the winter series of baseball was
played here to-day, and the home team de-
feated Oakland by a score of 6 to 0. The
feature of the game was the magnificent
work of the San Joses in the field. Pitcher
Retger was mystery to the Oakland men,
while the locals touched up Jones de-
livery in lively style, and by punching
their hits in the sixth, seventh and eighth
innings succeeded IN getting six men
across the plate. The visitors were some
what unfortunate and had seven men left
on bases. San Jose played an errorless
game, and but one mistake marred the
score of the Oakland team. Following is
the score:
