This letter was written by Markham
to E. G. Hallock while the former was
in Wisconsin trying to dispose of the
y Gro Grande. The existence of such a
letter has been vigorously denied by the
Republican defenders of Colonel
Markham. But the letter is not only
on the records of the court in Los Ange-
les, but tho original letter is here in San
Francisco in Markham's own hand
writing.
This is by no means the only evil
dence of Markham's preference for
Chinese over white labor. During
the time of the suit against Markham,
DIR. o. HI. Cougar of Pasadena, who was
president of the Orc Grande Mining and
Milling company, took the stand
against Markham. Besides the facts of
the defendants receptions and the vari-
GUS transactions that resulted in Mark
hams coming out of the Orc Grande
maneuvers rich man and leaving his
partners as poor as ever, DR.. Cougar
gave this testimony:
"We hired Cinnamon to keep down
our expenses. We could not see how we
could get through with three-dollar-a-
day men, and we got over a lot of China
men. We talked 1T over, Mr.. Markham,
and Hal1ock and myself, and put in the
sChinamen.''
There is still more evidence on the
point of Markham's employing Chinese,
as the following affidavit will show:
State OF California, county of Los An
.geles, city of Pasadena, Sc. l.. III. Mich
ener and A. O. Bristol, who being first
duly sworn, each for himself deposes and
says:
That they are white male citizens of
the United States over the age of twen-
ty-one years; that they have resided in
the city of Pasadena for about twelve
years; that they have known H. H.
Markham, Republican candidate for
governor of the state of California, for
about ten years that at the time said
H. H. Markham and others were inter-
ested in the Orc Grande Mining Com
pany as stockholders and directors we
were employed to haul number of Chi
namen to the Orc Grande mines, in San
Bernardino county There were two
loads in all. We loadedthe in China
town, Los Angeles city. and delivered
them at the company's mill at the said
Orc Grande mines, and were duly COM
pensated for said work.

Il. G. WINSTON, Notary Public.
In this same trial the question came
up as to how H. HI. Markham became
Colonel Markham. DR.. Cougar told his
story, and like the rest it is to be found
ia the official shorthand report Of the
testimony given on the trial
Los Angeles herald., 1890-10-17
Said DIR. Cougar :

Said DIR. Cougar:
We went to San Francisco, Mr.. Mark
ham and myself. Mr.. Hallock testified
yesterday that Mr.. Markham went. I
went with Mr.. Hallock with Mr.. Mark
ham to San Francisco; went to the Lick
house, and there l registered H. H.
Markham as Colonel II. III. Markham,
as the first time that he ever went by
that name, am sorry to say.
The only military title to which the
Republican candidate for governor has
legitimate claim is the title of second
lieutenant.
The interest shown by Markham in
the employment of Chinese in the
mines, in which he was part owner,is re-
markable. While he was in Milwaukee
completing the deal in Orc Grande he
wrote the following letter to the presi-
dent of the company:
PLANKINToN HOUSE, MILWAUKEE, !

for. l hope this will straighten every

there. No one outside of the parties
know what is going on here. All can
say is, IT they go in the thing is bird.
! have not seen George yet. hope to
be well soon. Yours, in haste,
HENRY.
On August 25. 1881, on the completion
of the sale, Markham wrote another
letter to Mr.. Hallock. In this he stated
that he had contaminated a trade of
two-fifths of the stock-600 shares-for
$31 900. During the trial at Los Angeles
it came out that the amount really re-
ceived by Markham was $42 900, but his
partners in the mine did not know6f the
extra 81 900 until too late te>compel q

A NEBRASKA BOOMER
Arrested For Obtaining Money Under
False Pretenses.

False Pretenses.
"There he goes," is an exclamation
that astonished people in restaurant on
South Spring street yesterday morning
at 7 O'Clock, and they were still more
amazed to see quiet-looking man jump
from his seat and rush out on the street.
He kept right on and caught up with a
genteel-looking young man. Touching
him on the shoulder, he remarked:
"Wel, Nicely, have requisition for
you"
The surprised captive took the matter
quite coolly, and went along with his
captor to the county Jail, where he was
confined until noon, when both men
started on the afternoon train for the
north.
Sheriff John Wilson, of Kearney, Buff
falo county, Nebraska, was the officer
and VIM. H. Nicely. aliasJ. G. Williams,
a prominent abstract man OF Kearney,
was his prisoner. The sheriff had been
in the city for several days looking for
Nicely, who is wanted in Nebraska on
charge of obtaining money under false
pretenses.

able transaction with the Farmers bank
of his city came to light. He had bor-
rowed $1,000 of the bank, giving real
estate security. 1t seemed all right, but
upon investigation the securities were
found to be worthless. When the bank
endeavored to call his attention to the
matter he was gone.
Educated by his Willett experience,
Sheriff Aguirre made the arrest public
early in the forenoon, but no attempts
were made to habeas corpus the
Nebraska man, and he started away,
saying he was glad to 60 back and face
the music. Nicely is man of education
and is well connected. He has family
of wife and two children, who have all
along remained in Kearney. He does
not deny the transaction with which he
is charged, but says he became 80 in
volyed that he did not see which way to

the Orc Grande Mining company, but
he was the agent of the stockholders
and had power to sell the stock. This
enabled him to make all his deals 30
