THE EVENING NEWS.

count of the operations Of q fellow who
booked his name at the international Ho-
tel as Driscoll, of Austin, and who, while
in Virginia, succeeded in swindling many
people out of greater or less amounts.
We learn by way of Mr.. Hall, of the
Pioneer Laundry, that the fellows real
name is A. G. Edwards, formerly a resi-
dent of San Francisco. He left Virginia
by way of the Geiger Grade, or foot and
alone, and was met by Hall near the
works of the Sierra Nevada Company and
was recognized. We learn that Edwards,
alias Driscoll, has long been noted for the
confidence dodge" and that some two
years since he succeeded in mulcting DR..
Toizer, Of San Francisco, Of about fifteen
hundred dollars. In addition to his pub
llshed spoils we learn that he procured an
additional sum of money on his freight
ing" speculation, amount $S5. Also a
silver watch and chain of Mr.. Ball, to
take medicine WITH" and of a fair Tep-
sichorianess at Music Hall the loan of a
piece until he received remittance from
the National Bank at Austin. Edwards,
as we before stated, is Of a fine personeRe,
dark complicated, clear and sharp hazel
eye, h~orse-blanket grey clothes, and as
near rs we can learn, only surpassed in
cool %impudence and cheek by that chief of
all swindlers and thieves, F. Alton Vince

RuNAwAY.- Yesterday afternoon a four
horse team, heavily loaded, was passing
down Union street, Virginia, when the
brake became unmanageable and the
horses went upon a run to the vicinity of
Chinatown, where they were "piled"
and somewhat scratched, but most FORUM
ately not materially injured. Believing
that an ounce of prevention is worth q
pound of cure" we wish to impress upon
the minds of teamsters the absolute neces-
sity Of having strong brakes attached to
their wagons, and when it is wet and slip
perry a trough lock on one of the wheels
makes the descent of a steep hill a very
easy matter.
The PLAcE.-Occasionally a smiling
rascal can go to Tom Cunningham and by
Misrepresentation succeed in borrowing a
piece" but if any chap this side Of Mud
Springs can 20 to White & Cunningham's
saloon, under the International Hotel,
Virginia, and succeed in getting q NIP"
of that fine old brandy, without mineral
(unless he is acquainted at the ranch and
a member of the church,, he can do to
travel with Driscoll. If you have a
piece" call and imbibe.

a man by the name of John Winston, q

hold an inquest to-day. Since the forego-
ing was written, the Coroner summoned

keenan, and Louis LePage, who, after
