FALSE AND ABSURD.
An Alleged Telegram That Does Sac

An Alleged Telegram That Does Sac
Famento an Injustice.
Under the sensational heading of Sac
ramento's Danger-She Must Strengthen
Her Levees, or be Floodedn' the San
Francisco Report last evening published
what purported to be a telegram from
this city, referring to repairs that are be-
ing made to the levee on the Yolo side of
the river, in which occurred the following
surprising statement:
Heretofore the safety OF Sacramento
was III the weakness Of the levees on the
Iolo side. They have been washed out
every year. Sacramentans have now got
to strengthen their levees or learn to
SWIM"
It seems almost incredible that any
| resident of this city could have sent such
telegram from here. 1t is not true that
the ! YoIo levee is washed away or over
topped every year. 1t has occurred a
few times, but only when the river was
at phenomenally high point, and yet
Sacramento has not been flooded in
| thirty years.
Whoever says that Sacramentans must
strengthen their levees, or learn to swim,
does not know what he is talking about,
and is no friend Of the city.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. PA dispatch from
Guthrie, o. T., giving further particulars
OF the prairie fires, says that in the Iowa
reservation, where the grass is heavy, the
damage is great. The district burned is
ten miles wide and fifty miles long. 1t is
reported that several persons have per-
ished. Another fire started in the rank
grass along the Cimmaron River, thirty
miles northwest of Guthrie, Saturday
night, and burned fifty farm houses and
much live stock. \ number of people
are missing, and it is almost certain some
have died in the flames.
The fires are still burning south and
southeast. Great damage has been done
to farm property, number of settlers
having lost their homes and all their
property. If the fire obtains headway in
the lumber great loss will follow.
Only three houses were left standing in
Cimmaron City, and a number of people
were painfully burned. Tonight fires
can be seen to the west. The growth of
grass is very rank, and danger is appre-

Manipur army, and Tongal, general, who
gave the order for the massacre, have been

shot In the cases OF the regent and Prince
Anango Sena, the viceroy has committed
the sentences of death to transportation
for life and forfeiture Of their property
Several Msnipuris and one ex-British

limiting for a DefanIter.

OMAHA, Ne5., Aug, 10.-ISpecial tele
gram TO THE HERALD. About two weeks
ago the cashier of Merchants National
bank in balancing comparing accounts,
found shortage of g. 900. Every new
test and checking process was tried and
produced the same result. The cash was
5000 short in gold, and cloth bag which
had contained just that amount was miss
ing. After thorough investigation suspicion
fastened on a young bookkeeper, Paul b.
Tate, lately in the employ of the bank. Be-
cause of his hitherto good character and
his excellent connections the officials hest
tated to accuse him of the theft A few
days after the discovery of the deficiency
the young man resigned to accept more
lucrative position in Beatrice. His resig
nation was accepted and he left the city.
The young mans actions increased the
bank officials suspicious and Pinkerton
detective was ordered to shadow Tate. On
visiting Beatrice the slcuth found that the
young man had secured q position, but
failed TO put in an appearance. This was
a very clever ruse on Tate's part TO throw
the defective of the tr ack, and
gain time to cover his tracks. The detec-
i've 1SdIltu q near Tcldllkc VI 1alt was
living in Toledo and went there to watch
for him. Either luck or wit or both favored
young Tate, who was in Toledo all the time
of the detectives visit, but managed TO
keep cut of his pursuer's path. The de-
tective got the tip that Tate was gone to
California. A year ago Tate fell in love
with young lady from San Francisco
who was visiting Omaha, and his atten-
tions were not distasteful- They kept up
corresponding and an early marriage was
predicted. The detective endesvored to
decoy Tate with letters supposed to be from
his inamorata, but the young man did not
bite. Since the detective returned to
Omaha he has discovered an anonymous
telegram warning Tate not to go to Cali
1orpia. With this clue removed the de-
tective was in the dark completely, and for
the past ten days has been endea voring TO
get some trace of Tate's whereabouts The
bank officials are going to run Tate down if
il taxes ali The year.
