HATWARDS, -Dec. 15. One day last week wheelman, while, riding through Castro Valley, Haywards, deliberately shot at Lester and Alexander Bo wen with a gun he was carrying. The action of the stranger was apparently so malicious and without reason that; the entire neighborhood is greatly aroused over the affair. The Bowen boys were playing together when the man passed their home.

One of the boys saw him deliberately jint the gun in their direction and fire. The bullet whizzed Hall, but It was found that the stage qf that hall was not sufficiently large to put on the sketches.

Jenkins, a resident of Alameda, has threatened to bring Recorder Black of San Leandro before the Grand Jury because the judge fined him $5 on Sunday, which Jenkins claims- is says that Judge Black took advantage of his (Jenkins) ignorance of the law to fine him en Sunday. In speaking of the matter Judge Black said: "I am surprised that that man should make such an, assertion when it was at his own request that I fined him on Sunday He was arrested for riding on the sidewalk and when brought before me in my court that day, he requested that I settle the matter then and there. He pleaded guilty to the charge of violating a town ordinance by" riding on the sidewalk. He wanted me to let him go without a fine, but as- the practice of sidewalk riding has become such a nuisance in Leandro, I have decided to make an example 0f all who are caught violating the ordinance. He comes from a town where a similar' ordl-dlnance is in vogue and should have known better than to ride on, the side-r walks of this town.

As to my overstepping the law by fining him on 'Suday, I will say that ftie records and Justices courts are always open for criminal cases. Had Jenkins pleaded not guilty to the charge, I would have set a date for trial In the usual manner, but as he pleaded guilty and requested me to. settle It at once, to favor him I did so." uncomfortably near their heads and before they could Inform" their relatives of the shooting, the bicyclist had disappeared.
