LINEUP OF THE UNION REPUBII-
CAN AsPIRANTs FOR OFFICE.
In setting up the Union Republican
ticket for the city election the present
indications are that there will be but one
contest, that being between Howard e.
Stats and William II. Curry for the Of
flee Of city treasurer. The Regulars are
playing a deep game against Staats. and
City Treasurer Curry has. with their full
knowledge and consent, represented
himself to be a Union Republican. and
his name win appear on the primary
ticket. saats should easily defeat him,
for he has done good work for the Union
Republican organization. and common
gratitude would demand his nomination.
especially when It rs known that Mr..
Curry Is merely a Union Republican at
this particular time as a matter of po-
litical exItsdiency.
This IS the Union Republican primary
ticket;
For mayor-WillIam b. Clerk
For president OF City Councll-John IL,
Graham.
For city solicitor-IIenry g. Conrad
For city treasurer-lIoward e. Stats
and William II. Curry.
For assessor and collector Of taxes for
the Northern district-James McKeNey.
For assessor and collector Of taxes for
the Southern district-Charles w. Sollo-
way
For CITY Council from First ward
Clarence a. Forwood.
Second ward-Herbert b. Martin.
Third ward-Peirce Gould.
Fourth ward-Charles Schulz.
Fifth ward-George c. Guthrie.
Sixth ward-James ]. Patterson.
Seventh ward-John S. Miller.
Eighth ward-zachary Taylor Wilson.
Ninth ward-Robert II Brown
Tenth ward-Pcter II. Bell.
Eleventh ward-George Russell.
Twelfth ward-John w. Mccoy.
The naming Of Mccoy IN the Twelfth
ward Indicates that the efforts Of the
Regulars out there to form an anti-Ad.
dicks combination has failed. There viii
be a fight all along the line.

TWILL BE BYRNE.

WILLIAM MICHAEL TO SUCCEED
DISTRICT ATTORNEY VANDE-
GRIFyr THIS WEEK.
"Winiam MichaelByrne will be the next
United States district attorney to succeed
the present incumbent, Lewis c. Vande-
grift and his appointment will take
place this week.
The foregoing statement was made by
two prominent Regular Republicans,
who expressed not the slightest doubt on
the subject. Although Mr.. Vandegrift
will make no positive statement as to
when he will retire from office, only say
ing that he will be glad to go out as soon
as he can finish up the business connect
ed with his office. It Is definitely asserted
that he will go out this week.
Inasmuch as the retirement Of Mr.. Van
degrift is a positive fact, the indications
are that Senator Kenney will never be
tried again. MIR. Vandegrift holds al
the evidence in the case at his finger
ends and It is hardly possible that the
case will be placed in the hands of new
district attorney who Is not familial
with the case.

DESPERATE JAPANESE.
He Attempts to Hold Up an Officer at
the Point of a Gun.

ALAMEDA. Oct. ct. Kekkuchi, a
Japanese. was arrested this afternoon
bv officer Lawrence at the foot OF Nlnth
street. A charge of disturbing the peace
and one for discharging firearms within
the city limits have been placed against
him. These will probably be followed
by a felony charge.
Complaint was made 10 the police that
some one was discharging firearms along
the beach in the vicinity Of Ninth street
Officer Lawrence discovered Kekkuchi
shooting birds. The officer walked TO
within a few feet of the hunter and
after showing him his star told MN thaC
ne was under arrest and asked MIN TO
accompany him. The Jap refused 10 go,
and leveling his shotgun at the othcer
told him that If he attempted to take
him he would shoot. Lawrence GRABBED
the barrel of the gun, and turning "
from him made an attempt to get hold
ul MS man. a struggle for supremacy
ensued. Lawrence got hold OF the Jap 5
neck and attempted to throw him. The
Jap however, was good wrestler, and
getting hold of the officer s legs he pro-
ceeded to make things lively for him
Lawrence dealt the Japanese blow in
the face with his fist and downed him.
He lost no time after that in placing
the handouts on his prisoner and took
him to the City Prison.
