SOME ROUGH POLITICS,
Second Ward Rufians Molest a
Boy and an Old
Horse.
The Haskins Push Obj cts to the
Perambulating Transparency of
Candidate z hrlen.

The followers of the Supervisorial can
didates for the Second Ward are doing
some rough politics, and it is not unlikely
that some of them may land themselves
in the cala5oose before many moons.
The push behind Thomas 81. Has
kins, the Democratic candidate, is partic-
ularly in earnest, to point OF aggressive
ness that makes life and limb precarious
wherever the opposing factions meet.
Haskins' followers, led on by sub boss
called Lanigan. have a great dislike for
the forces of Emil Kehrlein, who Is also
Anti-Charter party.
Lanigan's men have made it their par
ticular business turing the past week to
hunt up KehrIein literature and other
matter calculated to do candidate some
good in election times and destroy it.
But, as election day grew closer and
wanda ism was still overlooked by the po-
lice, the destroyers were emboldened.
Two nights ago, at the corner of Mis-
sion and Eleventh streets, the climax
came, and now Charles Gautert, a lad OF
i5 years of age. lies abed at his home, and
q dozen young hoodlums are seeking
shelter from police men who have warrants
for their arrest.
Charles Gautert was driving q skinny
old horse through the Mission, advocating
Kehrlein's candidacy by means of a four
sided canvas transparency. He was OBJ
served by crowd of tough characters.
who Immediately proceeded to interfere
with the wagon.
"Get off the earthl - they shouted, and
when the drive failed to vanish with his
horse, wagon and transparencies they as.
sailed all of them in true Indian style.
The young boy was dragged off the seat
and hit in the face. and had to be lifted
from the pavement. where he lay uncon-
scious after the ruffians had run away.
The poor old horse also was jerked about
ana mauled until he was barely able to
stand.
As for the transparency it was but q
memory when the rowdies got through
with it.

They Give Their Farewell Outing
Round the Bay.
The VaIlos Aquatic Club terminated
its outing season yesterday by giving
trip around the bay to a few of its
friends on the speedy launch Wildwood.
The start was made from Clay-street
wharf at 10 o'clock A. NJ, after which the
flagship Philadelphia was visited; then
stop was made at the Dolphin Swimming
Club at North Beach and their quarters
inspected. From there the next landing
was made at Alcatraz Island, where
tour of the grounds and the magnificent
view obtained from the heights was ap-
precIated by all. The clear day and ca m
ness OF the waters made the scene toward
the Golden Gate a decidedly picturesque
one. The final stop was made on the
eastern shores of Marin County above
California City, where splendid lun cheon
was spread by the young ladies In the
group.
Admiral Hitler and Captain Jolly added
much merriment to the occasion by their
clever acrobatic feats, and G. c. Gunther
captured all the honors for political
speeches. Seven O'Clock found them all
back at Clay-street wharf again, ana it
was the unanimous vote that the day had
been all that could be desired. Those par

PLAYED ON WET GROUNDS.
San FrancIscos Beat the OakIands
by a Score of 4 to 2.

The going at the Folsom street ball park
yesterday was hard in some spots, sIushy
in others and good in none. The players
slipped and slid about like smooth-shod
Bay District selling platers, and evinced
decided aversion to the mud. Despite the
disadvantageous circumstances the game
during the last eight innings was the best
seen in San Francisco for many moons
The Oaklands crossed the bay accompa-
MED by an energetic, fully developed hoo
doc, and it worked overtime. Although
they outbatted their opponents two to
one and played without an error after the
initial inning they only scored half as
many runs. Russell, too, excelled Cooney
and pitched what would nine times out OF
ten be a winning game. He struck out
five men and gave but two bases on balls.
He also accep pied seven chances for an as
sist, without a misplay.
In the opening inning the San Fran
ciscos scored four runs, The only ones they
made. Monahan got base on balls, Krug
advanced him to third on Sirocco's error
and then stole second. Murphy hit safely
and Monahan and Krug scored. Mertes
got a life on Pequigney's tumble, Murphy
going to third. Mertes promptly stole
second. and both scored on Beckett's hit.
