ALL THE LATEST NEWS FROM OAKLAND AND ITS SISTER CITIES
day night their friends have never ceased
joking them about the lost opportunity.
Young Haynes Ride.


Young Haynes Ride.
Henry Hayne is the son of a wealthy
Butchertown rancher, who lives in Oak
land. Last Sunday night Henry and a
companion mounted a pair of fiery broncos
and started out to make record along the
county road. They made it. On arriving
at dayWards the apprentice vaqueros were
in humor to dare anything. They rode
into couple of saloons and were served
with drinks, and threw out an open chal-
lenge to any one to attempt to stop their
wild ride. After leaving the saloon they
made a race-track of the sidewalk, and
people leaving church were in danger of
being ridden down.
Constable Ramage rode in from the
country about o'clock, and ten minutes
later young Haynes was in the Haywards
jan. MS companion was comparatively
quiet and rode off after a warning. but
Haynes was highly indignant that county
constable should dare to throw him into
prison like an ordinary drunk" After
ne had sooered up bail was accepted for
disturbing the peace, and when the case is
tired 1t Is probable the bail will be for
feited.
The Meanest of Acts.
ID. 5. Herschle, carpenter in the en-
ploy OF the Southern Pacific, was arrested
yesterday on a charge of extortion.
charles Madison, the complainant, is also
a railroad carpenter, and recently the two
men had a quarrel and Madison knocked
Herschle down. He was arrested and
found guilty OF battery. He only struck
Herschle when the latter demanded $50,
with the alternative of threatening to tell
his employers that Madison had been in
the State Prison for assault with deadly
weapon. When Madison appeared in court
he was accompanied by Charles Mont
gomery, the San Francisco philanthropist,
who is member of the association formed
to assist men discharged from prison to
lead new lives. Madison was not SEN
fenced on the charge of battery, as he ap-
plieG for new trial, and Judge Wood con-
sidered the facts iustihed him in taking the
case under advisement.
Anxiety About the Bonds.
In the report of the City Auditor for last
year is this paragraph:
No provision has been made for the payment
of S140, 900 outstanding redemption bonds of
1882, maturing by limitation October l, 1895.
An election was held on September %, 1894
when the question OF the issue OF refunding
bonds was submitted and defeated. The ques-
ton may be reSubmitted during the present
fiscal year Y A. If again defeated, the whole sum
Of $40 600 will have to be provided for in
the tax levy OF 1S93-96.
The next election is set for August 81,
and it requires a two-thirds vote to pass
the measure. If the refunding is beaten,
1t will result in large reductions in depart
mental expenses, and in the almost total
stoppage Of all public Improvements.

have the building ready for public wor-
ship.
