gauge track at Seventh and Center streets,
is again in trouble, and it is more than
likely that he will find it difficult to get out
this time.
Nottingham was arrested yesterday on
Washington street by Chief Schaffer and
Detective Holland on charge of robbery.
He is suspected of being one of the men
who held up the station agent at Walnut
Creek about one week ago and robbed him
OF $4S at the muzzle of shotgun.
The recent "hold up" of the electric cars
in Oakland are all laid at the door of Not
tingham, and if any of the charges are
made to stick it is likely to go hard with
him.
The suspect was married quite recently
to Miss Scott of Walnut Greek. The
police paid visit to the Oriental Fl ouse,
where the young couple have been stop
ping, and after putting the wife through
a severe cross examination, placed her I'M
der arrest also. 1t is believed that if Mrs.
Nottingham can be induced to speak she
can furnish valuable evidence against her
husband.
Nottingham appears to take his arrest
very coolly, and remarked, when the iron
door closed upon him, g Well, they didn' t
keep me very long before, and I don't
think | will stay long this time"
There being no charge against Mrs. Not
tingham, that lady was released from Gus
tody last evening after supper. Another
arrest, however has been made in connec-
ton with the case. Yesterday afternoon
an 18-year-old boy living at Walnut
Creek, Ed Jones, was arrested by Deputy
Sheriff Palmer and lodged in jail at that
place. His bond was fixed at $500. Jones
is said to be of respectable parents and has
always borne a good reputation. It is said
he was arrested because of his having been
seen often in the company of Nottingham.

An Ex-Banker Forgets.
The insolvent banker and "ex-soap king"
Richard z. Thomas appeared before Judge
Flick yesterday on an order of examina-
ton to show what property he had in his
possession. The ex-banker has a failing
memory in regard to his many important
transactions, and was compelled to answer
most questions with 81 don't know" II
can't remember"
1t was brought out that $500 shares of
soap stock had been transferred to D. e.
Pohle of New York in exchange for mine
in Colorado that proved worthless. d. E.
bowling of San Francisco was cited to ap-
pear to tell what had become of 1920 shares
of bank stock that had been transferred to
him.
Thomas said there was no money in the
soap stock, although it was proven $4,000
worth of business was done in one year
The case was continued to next Monday
Sad News of the Brunsons.
Latest reports would seem to lead to the
belief that John M. Brunson and his young
wife, the Baroness Won Barnekow, were
surely lost on the i1l-fated steamer Elbe.
In reply to a cablegram sent to the En-
peror of Germany by the members of
Troop A, n. G. c., of which John NJ.
Brunson was captain, the answer would
seem to indicate that they were passengers
on the wrecked steamer. 1t says: "John
M. Brunson and Ida of San Francisco, aged
% and Is, went down on steamer Elbe be-
tween decks"
Captain Brunson's father still has faith
that his son and daughter will be heard
from within ten days, and that both are
now safe in Germany.
The many anxious friends of the young
couple in Oakland only hope that the
fathers view is the correct one.
Will ADOPT the P1ntch system.
The Pintch system of car-llghting, which
is in general nse on nearly all Eastern rail
roads, is ODE applied to the trains of the
Southern Pacific in the Oakland local SER
vice, and communication from A. N.
Towne has been received by the City Coun-
Gil to that effect.
Insane Patients Committed.
There were four inmates of the County
Infirmary examined as to their sanity yes
terday. Two were committed and two
were discharged. B. Chevalier is an old
man, who came to California in 40, and
has lived SO long that he has forgotten his
age. He was sent to Stockton.

Army fame has announced that he intends

Not Looking for Trouble.
The Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
ginecrs of Oakland say that they have no
grievance that cannot be satisfactorily adj
justed without 8 strike. The engineers
think that Chief Arthur will settle the
question so that both sides viii be satisfied.
