IT LOOKS BAD.
4 Very Serious Charge Against Officers
Able and Green.


Able and Green.
The Board of Police Commissioners will
meet at 1:30 P. NJ. to-day to investigate Ger
tain very serious charges against police Off
GERS Charles Able and George Green.
Captain Karcher has been looking up the
matter for several dnys and reported the
facts to Chief Lee. Yesterday morning he
brought before the Chief two Frenchmen
who stated that they came to this city last
Sunday from Omaha. One of them was q
well-knowD sporting man who lived here
for years but who has been absent for
three years. The other man was an entire
stranger here and neither could speak Eng
lish well. They stated that on Thursday
morning last they were asleep in "a
house on L street when they were
awakened by someone pushing open the
door and entering the room. The
light was turnedup, and they found officers
Able and Green in the room, who informed
them they were wanted" and that they
must get up and dress and go along. They
were not informed on what charge they
were arrested, but were marched off toward
the station-house. Just after turning the
corner of Second and l streets they met
officer Arlington, whom one of them recog-
n1zed. he called out to Arlington, and
said: You know me, don't you?" Ar
lington looked at him more closely, and
said that he did. Well" T." said the French
man, you have not seen me here for a long
time, have you?" Arlington said he had
not, but told him he was in the hands OF
officers and passed on. Arlington had just
come off duty, and was going hunting. He
says be was in hurry, and supposed that
the Frenchmen thought that the men who
had them in charge might not be officers,
and for that reason he made that remark.
The taller Frenchman stated that before
they reached the corner of | and Front
they stopped, and Able said to him
You had better square this. Dig
up $40" He drew out $15, and said
that was all the money he had and he
thought that was enough, as they had not
done anything. Able said that would not
do, and he must have twenty. Green then
said to his man: Come, you Frenchman,
dig up the other five; you have got plenty
of money" He produced the other s., it
was hended over to Able and they were
both allowed to go.
No arrests were recorded on the slate at
the police station, no complaints made and
no money paid in. When questioned by
Captain Karcher officer Green at first de-
MED making the arrest, but afterward ad-
mitted il, saying that when asked about it
first he had forgotten it. He says that
after they met Arlington they thought that
they probably had no case against the men
and let them CO. He ssys that they did
not get any money from the men, and
Able tells the same story. The whole mat
ter will be thoroughly Investigated to-day

A SHREWD FORGER.
Prominent Business Men Clsverly Vic

timized.
Several prominent business men Of this
city were victimized on Saturday by very
smooth forger who seems TO have done his
work very quickly and departed suddenly.
He was man about "a years of age, light
compIexioned, with light hair and mus
tache and q Jewish cast of countenance
About O'Clock in the morning he rushed
into Baker & Hamilton's hatless and with
pen stuck over his ear, as if he had Just
left desk, and asked the cashier, Mr.
Cothrin, if he would be kind enough to
cash check for L. Ekus & Co., whose
place Of business is Just around the corner.
He said that he was Mr. Elkus' travelling
man and that the firm simply wanted an
accommodation on the check until the
bank opened. The check was drawn for
S55, and had IL. Elkus & Co." printed
across the end. Mr.. Cothrin was busy at
the time and was thrown completely off his
guard by the hatless man and promptly
handed out the money. The forger coolly
counted it over, pOcketed it and walked
out. As soon he was on the sidewalk he
took from his pocket u soft hat, put the
pen IL his pocket and walked up street
where few moments later he perpetrated
the same swindie on C. h Gilman, of the
Red House, giving him a check on Water.
house & Lester, for $50 He was bare
headed, and had pen stuck over bis ear,
and MIR. Gilman naturally supposed that
he had just run across the street from the
store of Waterhouse IL Lester.
He next appeared at Cronan's wholesale
liquor store, on the corner of K and Third
streets, and asked to sse a directory.
Mr.. Cronan handed the book out through
the little window, and was somewhat
astonished when the man deliberately
walked into the Office to look at it. Mr.
Cronan did not resent this familiarity as
the man had no hat on, and he supposed
he was one of the men in the store of
the Runtington-Hopkins Company, next
door. He now thinks. however, that the
man hoped TO get sight at his signature.
A few moments later the stranger stepped
into the Huntington-H Hopkins establish
ment and cashed check for $50, purpori-
ing 10 be signed by Mr.. Cronsn, using the
same scheme to throw the cashier off his
guard.
When Baker & Hamilton turned in their
cash to d. o. Mills Bank in the afternoon
Mr.. Dillman pushed il back with the OBJ

servation that It was not signed by Elkus
at all. Mr. Cothrin took it over to Elkus'
store, whereupon it was discovered TO be
rank forgery. Pretty soon Cronan's check
put in an appearance among the cash of
the Huntington-Hopkins Company and it,
too, was refused by the bank. The same
disposal was made of the Waterhouse II
Lester check when Gilman's deposit was
rendered.
Each of the checks had printed upon it
the name of the firm by which it was pur-
ported to be signed, and it is evident that

checks as needed. They were all in the

TO Make and Save Money.
Miss Lucinda Washburn, a native of
Kingston, Mass, died in this city yesterday,
aged IS years, months and 10 days Miss
Washburn came to Sacramento in the
early ffties, was an industrious woman, a
good fnancier, and at her death was one Of
the vealthiest individuals in the city. The
bulk of her property consists of good paying
real estate in many portions of the city.
She was somewhat eccentric, dressed neatly,
but very plain, and was known by almost
every person. She cared nothing for the
prevailing fashions, and went about look
ing after her diversified interests dressed in
cheap calico; and white apron, while her
headgear was invariably an old fashioned
sun bonnet Of some light colored material.
Her early investments in real estate are
now worth many times what she paid and
her monthly income from rents was almost
princely. Her estate will appraise up into
the hundreds of thousands, and it is
doubtful if many women in America, By
their individual efforts. have amassed so
large fortune. She resided in a quaint,
and oddly constructed house on the west
side OF Thirteenth street, between F and g.

What is ScrofuIa

1t is that impurity in the blood, which, accumu-
lating in the glands of the neck, produces un-
slightly Jumps or swellings; which causes painful
running sores on the arms, legs, or feet; which
developes ulcers in the eyes, ears, or nose, often
causing blindness or deafness; which is the origin
of pimples, cancerous growths, or many other
manifestations usually ascribed to " humors."
1t is more formidable enemy than consumption
or cancer alone, for scrofula combines the worst
possible features of both. Being the most ancient,
tits the most general of all diseases affections,
for very few persons are entirely free from it.
How can it be cured? By taking Hoods Sarsa-
parilla, which, by the cures it has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be potent and peculiar medicine
for this disease. For all affections of the blood
Hoods Sarsaparilla is unequaIled, and some of the
cures it has effected really wonderful. If you
suffer from scrofula in any of its various forms,
be sure to give Hoods Sarsaparilla a trial.
