RAILROAD CASE THAT
PUZZLED AUTHORITIES

OAKLAND, Sept. 1S.-The proper mo-
dus operandi in the prosecution Of the
Oakland Railroad Company for violating
the city ordinance in not having two men
in charge of each car running on Alcatraz
avenue, where little Esther Wahlstad was
run over and killed a few weeks ago, is
puzzling the authorities.
AT the preliminary examination held n
the Police Court the corporation, which is
a tributary of the Southern Pacific Com
pany, was held TO answer. 1t was sup
posed that the trial proper, therefore,
would be held in the Superior Court, but
it was discovered to-day that if there is to
be trial it also must be held in the Po-
lice Court.
According to section 4427 OF the Polit-
ical Code the Police Court has exclusive
Jurisdiction of all proceedings for viola
ton of any ordinance of the city, both
civil and criminal said Deputy District
Attorney Samuels to-day. II have looked
the matter up carefully. The Whitney
act a general law establishing Police
my mind the only method will be for the
Police Judge to impose the fine provided
for by law. Then the corporation may
appeal from the judgment to the Superior
Court, but thereafter there is no appeal
to a higher court, for the simple reason
that the Police Courts jurisdiction is ex-
elusive in this class of cases.
If the case is tried in the Police Court
it will be the first of its kind in the his
tory of the Oakland Police Court.

The boy who was swept off the Olympic
pier by a huge breaker last Sunday morn
ing was Aristides Gillet, the 15-year-old
son OF Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Gillet Of the
Belford lodging house, 1865 Market street.
The grief-distracted parents were con-
fronted yesterday with the proof of their
sons loss on the ocean beach when they
saw the little fellows lunch basket and
fishing reel that had been cast UP on the
beach by the waves.
Young Aristides, who was known by
his plavmates as Arthur worked as a
cash boy in the White House on Kearny
street to assist his parents in earning a
living and was a very well behaved and
faithful employe. In order to be more
useful and that he might not lose an op-
portunity for education he went TO night
school so that he voluntarily debarred
himself from that recreation which is so
much needed and enjoyed by the young.
on Saturday he told his mother that he
would like to go fishing on Sunday near
the Cliff House and promised to be home
bv ) o'clock in the afternoon. On Satur-
dav night he arranged the tackle and put
up his lunch and was delighted with the
prospect of good days sport.
His parents worried all night when he
did not return, and tried to console them
selves with the theory that the boy might
have changed his mind and gone to Oak
land and missed the last boat. AS soon
as the morning paper arrived yesterday
they looked over 1T, dreading to find what
they did find-the news of the drowning
of their son.

RECOVERED HIS MONEY.
A Peculiar Robbery in a McAllister-
Street Barber-Shop.

r. D. Sexton barber, and his wife
arrived in this city Sunday night from
Saltwater, MINI. They had been mar
ried only few weeks, and at the sug-
gestion of his wife Sexton concluded TO
visit this city in the hope of making
living for himself and his bride. Yester
day morning he secured employment In
a barber shop al 220 McAllister street.
During the afternoon he missed his vest
which contained $50 in greenbacks and a
draft for $500. Sexton a once reported
his loss TO Captain Seymour, who, after
listening to his story, detailed Detective
Anthony on the case. Failing to get a
satisfactory report from him, and touched
by the fearful appeal of Sexton, Cap
tain Seymour visited the barber shop and
proceeded to make a thorough inVesti-
cation. Convinced that the vest with its
precious contents had been taken by
some person connected with the saloon
adjoining, he closely questioned the bar
tender and the habitues of the place
Just as Seymour concluded his inVesti-
cation he received a telephone communi-
cation from Attorney Charles Reynolds,
informing him that he had Sexton s
property, and asking him to call at his
office. Seymour refused to see him, and
to his great surprise a short time after
ward he received the property that Sex
ton had lost. Reynolds, when questioned,
said that Tom Clancy, who conducts the
saloon adjoining the barber shop, had
visited his Office and turned over the
greenbacks and draft to him. He refused
to state how he came into possession Of
SeXton's property.

Hall this afternoon. Six years ago the
child was born on the Yukon, in the
frozen northern gold fields, and about two

that the father had warned her against

THE STUDY OF FOOD.

When q man knows that he depends
on food alone from which to make his
brains and that his success in life is
largely owing to the kind of brains he
has, it would seem the part of wisdom
to study food a bit.
All men do not have the opportunity
to make a careful analytical study of
the subject and are satisfied TO have
the food experts attend to this for
them.
A food especially made to supply
the nourishing elements needed to re-
build the brain and nervous centers
bears the name Grape-Nuts, and its
use for ten days or two weeks produces
a sturdy, substantial and powerful
condition of the thinking machinery,
enabling one TO do things, TO make
money or succeed in whatever enter
prise is reasonably undertaken.
Systematic, logical, concentrated
thinking is the one requisite TO success
and that needs good, healthy brains,
we'll nourished, and the waste supplied
each day. Grape-Nuts make their
energy known to the user, and, being
IN the form OF a delicious food, they
have become a welcome addition TO the
tables of brainy people in all parts OF
tlA nonntfX.
