n EVENING NEWS.

heard Of a case in point this morning.
4 Woodworking man, whose name is
Patrick Crowley, was the fortunate
possessor Of a genuine certificate Of de-
post in the Bank Of California, Gold
Hill, for the sum of eight hundred dol
lars; and possessed it until within a few
days. Day before yesterday, a stranger
cam TO Silver City, and going to Uncle
John Greer, the Agent Of Wells, Fargo
l. Co.'S Express, inquired for q doctor,
expressing an attack of illness, etc.
Uncle John, in his usually benevolent
way, recommended DR.. Zabriskie. After
expressing his gratitude for the sdvice,
the stranger opened on Cuisines" with
Uncle John, by producing a certificate
Of deposit on the Bank of California,
Gold Hill Agency, for eight hundred
dollars, alleging that be was the VERT
able Patrick Crowley-and being TOO Ill
TO come to Gold Hill to get the ''spondu-
licks," he wished 10 get il cashed-say,
500 down, and the next day he would
call and get u check for his sister in
New York for the Sl0O." Good-ns-
turedly, Uncle John pungled down
TUG seven uuuuEGu NOAAaio Ia h"NSNSSf
and taking the certificate, awaited all
day yesterday for the stranger TO call
and get his check on New York. Com
ing to Gold Hill, Uncle John presented
his certificate, duly endorsed at the
bank here-but the bank teller discov-
cred a slight discrepancy in the auto
graph-endorSemeut on the back Of the
paper when compared TO that given by
Crowley himself on the books OF the
bank. P~eradventure, there was u slight
misgiviug of faith and confidence expe-
rienced on the part OF Cncle John, lest
his new Acquaintance was u Jeremy Did
dler, and had stepped from the path Of
rcctitude by practicing II "~conhdence
game" Messengers were accordingly
seut out TO find the genuine Patrick
Crowley-who in due time was discov-
cred, and questioned as TO his posses
sions. With innocent boldness be de-
clsred himself the owner and possessor
of the document before mentioned-but
on a closer inspection OF his earthly
effects, il was revealed to his obtuse
understanding that his certificate OF de-
posi-, had vanished, disappeared by som
Hillerism, and that ne had II not. On
n full and sober Investigation, so we
are informed, it was concluded that one
John Kelley, who has n wife in Sacra-
mento,) and who WAS II great friend OF
Crowley's, had gone to parts unknown
within a period of forty-eight hours
and bis description answering that OF
the man who had raised the coin AZ
Silver City, i, WAS concluded that John
Kelley hadt' hornswoggled somebody.
Doubtless he will be caught. More
anon.
