 inc next day, while VIC were working these iacts up into flaming item on the prosnec,ive advantages Of having the Ellison Bros. elect Yava. p'i 's the oase of their operations, we learned l"at our Cattie King was patronizipg Moon,s 'Aio oahh very literally and promised 10 be quite as valuable to the sporting fraternity as to JUG more substantial business interests of inc country. having already, as we learned. dropned aoont Sl ,4OO into the above mentioned ips,i,,
 ton. On "Wednesday we concluded to enopire further into his operations before giyipg tbem ,o the public, and asccrtained that he had eone ,o Ihepholus Louisilons store on Goodwin street ana ordered about $50 worth of goods for his cattle camp, and borrowed $50 in cash, leavinp as security check for S2,50O on a Denver City bank this was on Monday, and on Tues- o'y MT. l.. allowed him to take the check away to get it cashed, when he went with it 10 the faro bank, having lost the money borrowed. and played on 1t until he lost some Sl 400 when he asked for the balance of the S2 300. in change and was told that he could have it as soon as an answer could be received by telegraph from Denver, as to its genuneness We examined the check and found it very clumsly drawa on the National Bank of Denver, in favor of "Johp eiison" and signed "J. c. Baley," dated August lst, lS15," and numbered "2" On bein. re- | qulred to endorse the check on the back. the l pretended MT. Ellison wrote his name in exactly | the same hand with which the face was written | and began his name with small 'c" ar d spelled | It with one l, just as it was spelled on the face | When they saw the signature the parties interes. i ted began to weaken, nevertheless they tele- grapbed to Mir. Bailey at Denver and in due time received an answer that he knew nothing about such check, and bad certainly never drawn it. Then they began to look about for Mir. ellison, but he was gone, and is still gone no one knows where.
 We understand he paid Mr. Osborne $50 on his ranch, which was probably part of what he borrowed from Louisillon.
 - From further inquiry, we learn that man who Ias worked at Harris brck-yard knew this man ly sight in Denver two or three years ago, and hat his name is Wilson, or at least that is the name he knew him by there. He is a man about fifty years of age, about five feet nine or ten nches in hight, somewhat gray, and has the ap- 'earancc of a geuteel, well-to-do farmer. Whether EllsonBre have brought are bring ng cattle Go this country or not we not now informed SO well as we were few days ago, but [ is safe to bet that elison' dtds Wilson's cattle re too fine to be seen with microscope.
