ARTICLES PURLOINED BY A
MEMBER.
CAPSIZED IN THE ESTUARY
MARROW ESCAPE OF Two YOUNG
MEN-A VERDICT FOR DR..
DUDLEY TAFT.

Fred Harrison, a member of General
kelly's Industrial Army, was landed in
jail yesterday to keep company with a
score or more of Kellys followers who
have been incarcerated on various charges
during the past few weeks.
When the public began to lose interest
IN the woes of the army and withdrew its
moral and financial support the larder of
the Franklin-street Industrial Army CO.
operative clearinghouse soon showed
signs of exhaustion and it became evident
that more provisions would have to be
provided or the inmates would have to go
to work.
To supply the deficiency large number
of the soldiers began begging for provisions
from houses and merchants The police
were instructed to put stop to their opera
tionS and twenty or more were arrested as
Migrants or for begging and placed on
prison fare.
Harrison was too lazy even to beg, but
having an extraordinary appetite for
whisky, luxury not supplied at the board
ing-house, he began TO purloin articles left
lying around loose, and sell them at the
secondhand stores. A roll of blankets
supplied his wants for a short time, but
the thirst returned, and dozen parade
caps and some cooking utensils followed
the bed clothing,
General Kelly fearing that his favorite
military coat might join the other goods
overcame his repugnance to having the
character OF his followers held up to the
public gaze, and had Harrison arrested on
a charge OF petty larceny.
Officer keefe, who made the arrest, is
authority for the statement that Harrison
Is an ex-convict, and that within q few
months past he has been arrested several
times for various misdemeanors, and has
Just completed term OF thirty-eight days
Tor battery and disturbing the peace.
There are only five or six of the army
still at large and the police expect to have
them in custody ere long.
Want Competent Warden.
The State Sportmen's Association is TAX
. ing an active interest in. the appointment
OF game Wardens for the various counties
OF the State, as provided for by the Legis-
lature, and will endeavor to have men Sc
lected with more relation to their qualifica-
cations for the positions than on account
of political influence.
The association particularly desires the
warden for Alameda County to be man
fitted fer the place, as it has been apparent
Tor some Time past that unless the game
birds and fish of the county are more thor
oughly protected from men who hunt and
fish out of season, it is only question of a
short time before they will be exterminated.
The Board of Supervisors has received
the following communication from the as
ISOLATION, signed by Secretary S. E.
Knowles relative to the matter:
To the Honorable Board Of Supervisors: The
Legislature, Just adjourned, recognizing the
Importance TO the State of its fish and game in
terest (aas vested you with authority to APP
POM ; d .ht and game warden in your county
10Y most earnest attention is respectfully
called to the necessity OF making this appoint
ment without delay. The close season is at
hand and the rapid depletion of our State of its
game and fish renders your prompt action
herein OF the utmost Importance.
The necessity OF your appointee being man
OF intelligence, honesty and determination in
the performance of his peculiar duties is too
clearly evident to require comment.
The office is worth SIPS a month and
Henry May of Decoto and B. F. Stalley,
9. W. Arnett and Frank Dennis of Oak
land have already applied for it.
Dancing on Memorial Day.
The Grand Army Veterans of Oakland
believe that Memorial day should be a day
of mourning by the nation for those who
died in the service of the country and that
plcn1cs and dancing have no place on such
an occasion and Lyon Post No s of Oak
land has passed the following resolutions
relative to the subject:
WHEREAS, The Both day of May of each year
has been set apart by authority as a Memorial
day for the soldiers of the republic who sleep
IN death, day OF mourning for our dead, a
members of the Grand Army of the Republic
and their comrades cherish and cling to as a
dear but painful memory.
With this feeling the Grand Army of the
Republic desire that the day be reyerently
devoted 70 the mourning of our noble dead
That their deeds of self-sacrificing patriotism
be recounted TO the youth. That by speech
and song, patriotic love and devotion 10 onr
country may be instilled into their minds,
We feel that the minds Of the people, and
especially the young, should not be diverted
from these objects by mirth and play by pic
MICS and dancing. Therefore, be it
ResoEged, That 1t is the sense of Lyon Post,
u. A r., that the citizens and church and
other organizations use their influence to pre-
vent this Memorial day from being turned into
DAY or feasting, picnics and dancing, but
hold the day sacred to the memory of departed
comrades, who gave their lives in defense OF
this our glorious country.
JACOB WINKLER, Post Commander.
GEORGE A. NORTON, Adjutant.
Lyon Posts action has been indorsed BY
Appomattox Post No. so.
Inquest on William Byron.
The Coroner's jury, which sat in the case
of William Bynon, killed at San Pablo by
X. 4. Simpson on Monday last, rendered a
verdict yesterday that the deceased came
to his death from a pistol'wonnd inflicted
by Simpson, but failed to charge Simpson
with murder.
Mrs. Margaret Byron was the main wit
ness. She testified that after an alterca-
ton regarding the use of portion of the
house for cooking purposes Simpson went
to his cabin near the house and returned
with a revolver, walking up to the deceased
and shooting him without warning. After
the shot was fired her husband attacked
Simpson with stick of wood, She aided
him by striking at the contractor with
wrench. Mrs: Bynon tainted away after
giving her testimony and had to be carried
to a neighboring hotel.
William Damn, a laborer employed by
Simpson, testified that Bynon and his wife
had attacked and beaten Simpson before
the latter drew his pistol and fired the
fatal shot. Blood was streaming down his
face and he seemed to be badly injured.
Simpson appeared at the inquest with
his head tied up in bandages and seemed
to be suffering from mis- wounds.
