A DOG ELECTED MARSHAL.
The Canine Duly InHuGuratcd at Au-
rora. Ind, Years Ago.
lFrOm Inc FbII3deIpIia IHquTcr.)

Ahu' 8Sps
From the Philadelphia IHquircr)
Aurora. Ind. is probably the only city
in the country that ever elevated dumb
animal to an office of public trust. move
ment has been recently put on foot 10 per
petuate the memory of this distinction. 1t
is proposed to erect a statue to Bob
dog. The scuIptured form of a noble-look-
ing canine mounted on a pedestal will
serve to remind the unborn generations
that Aurora is the only corporation in the
nation and possibly in the world. that
ever duly elected a dog to an authorized
legal office. the dumb animal defeating a
human being at the polls
1t was over forty years ago that pretty
Newfoundland puppy was taken in by jim
KeIso. who in the SOS was wen known all
over southern Indiana Jim was reckless
character and he and the dog became the
truest Of friends-eYen to dramatic death.
He named the pup Bob, and its growth to
dog was marked by the development of
most remarkable sagacity. Bob was train
ed TO point where he seemed only to lack
the power of speech to make him human.
One of Bob's training feats was to catch
a man throw him down, and hold him un-
I'll ordered to let go He would not injure
or in the least harm his man, but he could
handle the strongest To this one bit of
training, coupled with his great intelli-
gence, are due to a very great extent the
honors which were later heaped upon him.
He made himself Immensely popular with
the constabuiary department of the city,
and achieved great reputation as thief
taker.
One instance was recalled a few weeks
ago when couple of boys playing on the
banks of Hogan Creek found a kit of rust
eaten counterfeiters' tools and dies and
a quantity of metal buried under the
bluffs The dies were undoubtedly for the
spurious half-dollars which flooded Aurora
and southern Indiana fifty years ago. At
that time all of the southern Indiana of
ficers united to round up a gang of cOun-
terfeiters known to be operating near Au-
rora 1t fell to Bob however, to break
them up He found them one night near
where the dies have just been discovered,
and he captured them while they were at
tempting TO escape to the Kentucky shore
in boat He plunged in after them, up
set the boat and then, dragging the half
drowned leader from the river, held him
down until the officers were attracted by
his barking. Thus Bob started the chief
counterfeiter toward the long sentence
which was later given by the Government
There is no doubt that the kit recently
found was the one used by the gang.
1t was this incident and the reputation

Ryan had a little one last Sunday morn

the arrest of both for mixing IL with each
other.
About o'clock that morning both men
were riding on the dummy of a Powell
street car. one on each side. As the car
was about to cross Geary street the grin
man slowed down in fear of running into

Ryan, who was formerly a teamster

on the wagon, and he was not slow to ex-
press umbrage at OXnards remarks They
exchanged detiances across the dummy
and were still voicing desires TO punch
each others heads when Post street was
reached. With one impulse both men
alghted and were making good use OF
their fists when arrested.

SACRAMENTO SHOPS MAY
BE MOVED TO OAKLAND
RECENT WORK REvIvES A RAIL
ROAD RUMoR.
Southern Pacific Company Preparing
TO Reclaim Big Section of Tide
Land South of the Mole
Across the Bay.

Preparations are being made by the
Southern Pacific Company 10 reclaim a
large area OF tide land south Of the Oak
land pier. The piece is the triangular sec
ton formed by the pier proper and the
trestle running from the end Of the mole
10 the roundhouse in the West Oakland
yards.
The preliminary work on the bulkhead
is already well under way. The company
intends 10 eXpend "A great deal OF money
on the Improvement and has already
made considerable outlay for piling and
"A slip from the barges which will transfer
the dump cars loaded with rock from this
side OF the bay. When the triangle Is
filled IL will add many acres TO the rail-
roads Oakland possessions.
Speculation Is rife as TO the purpose the
company has in view, and the rumor that
II Is the ultimate intention TO move the
Sacramento shops 10 West Oakland has
been revived. FROM railroad men who
are in a position TO know IL is learned
that the triangle viii be the site of the
company Immense works as soon as
they are moved.
The plan is not only one OF concentra-
tion but also OF economy. The railroad
managers have argued for a long time
that the shops now at Sacramento could
be operated at far less cost If situated
where they were easy Of access to ship
ping A while back there was a rumor
that the shops were TO be moved to the
"nll'' along the narrow gauge mole on
the Alameda side, but II apparently had
no foundation in fact The extensive i'm
provement that the company has under
taken along the Oakland mole and the
immense amount Of money that will
necessarily be expended In its completion
is not without "a purpose and lends color
70 the statement that a site is TO be made
for the big shops now located at Sacra-
mento.
one Of the officials at the Oakland wards
made the following statement to-day:
The vast additions TO the West Oakland
Yards are the direct result Of the big fire
last summer at Sacramento When the
Sacramento shops were burned down not
a bit Of work could be done for three
months. II was all done in Oakland and
in such a convenient manner that the
company concluded II would be better TO
keep "A great portion of IL here permanent
ly. IL has been decided all the coachwork
FOR the whole OF the coast division shall
be done here. This will necessitate the
construction OF several new sheds, the
building Of an addition to the mill and the
laying Of much new track. IL will add
a large number OF men 10 those now
steadily employed, besides requiring the
temporary services OF many more"

circumstance which are at least pecu-

do Nun arrived in san Francisco about
the 18th OF September from China, and

was ordered dcported on the ground that
his certificate was improperly filled out.

FOOTBALL SQUABBLEs.
Quarterback Ellis on the Gridiron of
Amateur Status.

The University Of California eleven IS in
quandary of doubt and uncertainty. and
II is all over the quarterback OF the
team, Ellis. VIII he play on Thanksgiv-
ing day or not? That is what Is troubling
their minds at present.
At the last meeting of the Pacific ANA
teur Association the question OF Ellis
amateur standing was brought up before
that body. and the conclusion was that
amateur under the laws OF the American
Athletic Union, and therefore could not
mingle with his confreres without con-
taminating their athletic constitutions
When this was announced a shout went
up at Berkeley condemnatory OF the coast
association and counter peal at PalO
Alto which deiied the actions OF the ath-
letic censors.
Ellis was formerly an instructor OF gym
nastics at the University OF Nevada, and
this. as the Pacific Amateur Association
declares. units him for such a purely
amateur contest as the intercollegiate
football game. In their eyes he is pro-
fessional. The offense is. however. slight
and the Pacific Amateur Association has
passed n counter resolution TO its first
which exonerates all those who may
play with or against Ellis from profess
sional conduct
AS the matter now stands IL rests with
Manager Berry Of Stanford to determine
whether Ellis will play or not. II he
withdraws his opposition California will
play Ellis If he holds out against him
1t Is very likely that Ellis will have TO be
withdrawn.

BENDORAN
ENJOYS A
CAKEWALK
Downed a Cheap Field in
Rag Time-S Still Suffers
From Gout.

Perfectly at home among the secluded
set Of the last, the big chestnut horse
Bendoran must have smiled as he gal
loped 10 the post in the third event at
Oakland yesterday. Introduced on his re-
appearance 10 such plebeians as Campus,
Sallie Goodwin and King Carnival, his
reputation was naturally not engendered.
AT prohibitive odds he made a gallop of
it, winning in a grin from Campus The
winner liInped back 10 the paddock, but
this Is no new wrinkle, as he has been
aiiiicted with the gout before
a driZzling rain fell at intervals, and
the track was in very sloppy condition.
FIRST choices We're in better form, TAX
ing all but two of the events decided.
RecedinS in the betting from TO 10
twos Rachel c, the Burns & Waterhouse
hlly, won the opening sprint for two
year-olds in clever style from Mandamus,
an outsider. Elbe possessed plenty of
speed, but failed 10 last, losing the show
10 Jolly Briton.
The Schorr stable scratched Time
maker. and NapamaX made a canter of
the six furlong dash following. The ring
had a very close price against the mare,
which led Ricardo over the line eased up.
Nlld Het. a 100 TO shot. ran in second
position for several panels, finally last
ing out long enough TO down Tom Cal
vert for show honors. There was te-
dlouS delay at the post in this race.
The last time Silver Tail started, which
was down at Tanforan, the chestnut
youngster must have been seized with
thumps, for his race was a poor one.
Yesterday he placed the fourth number
70 the credit of George Baldwin, trudging
through the slop like a gay cavalier, at
odds of 10 and 20 TO 1. Spencer sat on his
back, and IL was no effort for him to dis
pose of Aborigine at the wire. Bam-
boulia, the favorite, retired from first TO
third place.
Still keyed to concert pitch apparently.
game little Morinel, the best OF all the
get of the dead Morello, led from start
10 finish in the mile and a sixteenth run.
Equal favorite in the betting with DIR.
Bernays, she led that horse past the
judges five open lengths. Meadowthorpe
was never contender.
No doubt the sweetest break the books
had all day was when Judge Wofford, an
outsider, finished ahead OF Monrovia. Jen-
ME Reid and Faversham, all heavily
played 10 win the closing seven furlong
affair. The latter horse was plunged on.
and a poor start aided his downfall Burns
took Monrovia away in the lead. but. de-
spite vigorous kicking on the part Of her
rider, WoffOrd won at leisure. The win
ner was quoted at and 10 10 !. Faver-
sham after making a fine run down the
backstretch, became stricken with heart
failure three furlongs from the wire.
