LANDED IN JAIL.
A Former Cheyenne Walter Becomes
n Forger in Denver.

Joe Sanborn is a loud-mouthed individ-
ual whose career commenced in a Chicago
restaurant. where as a wal ter he stood
over the guest and shouted, "0ne in the
dark or "a stack of whites with a cop
per on" to the cook a hundred feet away.
The first quotation means coffee, the sec
ond pancakes brown on one side.
Sanborn was employed in a Chey-
enne hotel for a time, but was
too much of a rough to become a full
fedged citizen. He was habituated to
waltzing into places where men most do
congregate after night fall and announc-
ing that he could lick any son of a gun
in the crowd" Usually he was knocked
down and dragged out but sometimes the
bluff was as good as a cowboys VIM
chester against a tenderfoot's twenty
two. In either event Sanborn was soon
ready once more for his ~favoIite pastime
of posing as a holy terror.
Sanborn went to Denver last week and
becoming short of funds negotiated a
check with the signature of T. B. Hicks.
president of the First National bank of
this city. Forgery was suspected and es-
tablished when Mr.. Hicks answered a tel
egram of inquiry. Sanborn is in jail.

MUCH looseness of habit in handling
real property grew up during the great
boom in this section. This remark ap-
plies with peculiar force to the making
of subdivisions and the mapping out OF
the same. In many instances these maps
are nearly useless. The surveys on
which they are based were made in the
most independent manner. The starting
point is connected with no fixed monu-
ment, and the description of the property
is often in the most vague terms. tits re-
ported that in some extreme instances it
is not set forth even that the property is
in the United States. Then many OF
these maps have never been put on file
in the County Recorders Office. During
the year 1888. there were az
many as ninety subdivisions made
in this county, the maps
of which were never placed on file. In
many States it is made misdemeanor,
with a fine of $50 attached, to offer fol-
sale lot of land, the map of the subdi-
vision not having first been placed on
file. The loose manner in which we
have been proceeding opens up the way
for no end of fraud, of confusion and oi
consequent litigation. The man who
will introduce bill in the present Legis.
lature dealing with this evil, will no!
have been sent to Sacramento in vain
and will merit to be sent there again.

SoME of the towns in the semi-tropics
are learning how to thrive in spite of the
collapse of the great boom. South Riv-
erside will have in few weeks two very
robust and legitimate industries afoot
which will make prosperity, boom or no
boom. The porphyry works would have
been in operation long ago we're it not
that rails could not be had to lay side
track from the depot to the mill. The
rails are now at hand and will be laid at
once, when the mill will be set at work.
A contract worth 100000 has
been secured as starter. Then
the pottery works are nearly
ready to begin operations. The plant is
about laid in place, and almost all
things are ready. If each new town in
this section will open out couple of in
dustries like this, we shall not care a
baubee that the boom is dead, nor will
We care to revive it. By the way, which
town is to get the first beet sugar fac
tory? That is the interesting question Of
the moment.

ElGHTY.SEVENR ROUNDS.
They Fought All Night and En- ded
With a Draw.


SAN Francisco, January 1O.-The fight
Golden Gate Athletic Club last night, be-
tween the light weights Billy Mahan, of
California, and George Mulholland, of
Australia, was the longest ever fought on
this coast. The battle commenced at
8 40 O'Clock and continued until 8 :25 this
morning when it was declared draw at
the close of the eighty seventh round.
Joe McAuliffe, who was recently
defeated by Peter Jackson, was referee.
Throughout the fight Mulholland
showed himself superior in science and
quickness, but Mahan exhibited all the
qualities Of game and hard fighter.
About the fiftieth round it seemed al
most certain that Mulholland would win,
as he had been punished very little,
while Mahan's lips and cheeks were
badly swollen, his eyes nearly closed
and he had lost one tooth by contact with
the Australians head. However, Mulhol-
land did not seem to be able to give the
knock out blow, and during the last
two hours of the fight Mahan was as
fresh as his antagonist and administered
some severe punishment on Mulholland's
wind. Both men slipped and fell to the
floor several times during the battle, but
the only clean knock-down was in the
ffty-second round. when Mulholland was
sent under the ropes by terrific blow
in the stomach. After it became appar-
ent that neither of the men was likely to
be knocked out, there were numerous
demands for draw, and the referee
| finally consented to the proposition, after
the battle had lasted five hours and
three-quarters, and when both men were
too weak to strike an effective blow.

Tall EXpenditures.

For some time past the HERALD has
been clamorous to know what becomes
of the county moneys. The report of
the County Auditor gives us an insight
as to come of the causes for our immense
tax-roll. Thus, we find that, in the COM
paratively trifing matter of postage
stamps, $1,31655 of the taxpayers
money was used up last year. This is
the equivalent of over sixty five thou
sand letters at the ordinary postage; or.
taking Sundays. which are dies non, into
the count, over two hundred letters a
day. We had no idea that this large
number of communications were dis
patched daily on the public business.
We find the cost of the Great Register
get down at $S,645.s9. 1t is generally
supposed that the principal expense of
the Great Register is in printing it, and
the Erpress agreed to do it for 854 cents
name, if we remember Alright. Make it
ten cents, and the total expense would
not have exceeded $1,000. What be-.
came of the IS, 5,645. SO is matter of in.
terest to the curious. If it was for
clerical work we should be very glad to
furnish the clerks in the future, and
would cheerfully agree to do it for half
the money. In addition to this in
credible sum for printing the Great
Register, we find that the cost of blank
books is $4,923.15, while the cost of
stationery is $4,40S. 40. In these two
items we have the large sum of So 1891. 55.
Add this to the $S,645. SO, the cost of
printing the Great Register, and we
have the respectable figure of $17, ,977 .64,
an amount sufficient, one would think,
to cover all items in which printers ink
or any other kind of ink enters. Drop
ping down little way in the Auditors
report, however, we find that $11 ,34S 81
was paid for printing and Advertising
Thus, it seems for printing and
stationery and blank books the
