WOMEN AND CARDS
Led Wells, Fargo q Co.'S Carson Clerk
to Embezzle S2, 905.

The Carson Tribune says; For sew
eral days it has been known that A.
Leonard, late clerk of Wells, Fargo
81 Co.'S express office at Carson had
bezzled the company's funds, but
at the request OF Agent Hofer and the
Pacific Surety Company's represen-
tative, who were in hopes that the
young man would be able to straight
ten matters, the Tribune refrained
from making any publication. Leon
ard had sent letters and telegram
TO his parents in Vermont TO come to
his assistance, but they telegraphed
yesterday that they were unable to
help him. so he was handed over to
the Sheriff and locked in Jail last
night.
While be has for long time had
penchant for faro, stud horse poker

to be especially sportive for the past
three weeks, bucking the tiger night

whole amount at the faro table, stud
horse porker and on fast woman
with whom he was smitten.
II seems the Pacific Surety Com
pany had insured Wells, Fargo IL Co.
against loss for $4,000 for Leonard.
The balance, S905, will be stood by
the express company. Leonard will

General sympathy prevails in the
community for the young man, as he
was generally liked.

The Stability of the Order.
Among other things he said: Inst tu-

sion and operation Of everlasting priuci-
pies. Dynasties have disappeared:
thrones have crumbled; whole races have
teen annihilated; governments have sue
ceeded one another with a frequency
beyond the power of the historian to re-
cord: civil cation itself has risen to the
highest excellence and then sunk In dark
and oblivion. But Masonry has contin-
ued through the centuries with the sa ne
democracy as existed by legen among is
traditional founders.

trials for heresy or rewards for orthodoxy
