aral Persans I'm GaIYekton.

eral Persons In Galveston.
Galveston papers just received give an ao-
count of the operations of II. G. waters, OF la
coma, in that CITY, where he arrived three weeks
ago. He went there from ST. Louis. and on the
train ingratiased himself INTO the good graces OF
Captain J. y. sawyer, Galveston agent Oh the
Mallory steamship line. Walters Represented
himself as a gentleman of wealth ana leisure,
bent on making investments whenever anu
wherever good opportunity offered he stated
that he owned an orange grove OF 4oo acres III
louisiana that was yielding him handsome IN
come. Before parting from Captain sawyer ne
inquired for the address of some responsible rear
estate agent, and Captain Sawyer introduced IL
NJ. Truehart & Co., and Walters soon made his
financial standing known TO this firm ana MS
desire to make some desirable investments
He beeamea constant attendant OF the FIRST
Presbyterian church, to which he Claimed mem
bership in Tacoma; was very devout attended
church and Sunday-school regularly; joined the
Young Peoples Society of Christian EnueaVor.
and became an active participant In the WORK OF
the Young Mems Christian ASSOCIATION ne
said he was going TO Honduras to invest In
mahogany timber land, but prior to his depart
ure he desired 10 make few purchases IN the
city and Texas. His purchase in Galveston ne
desired for the site of palatal residence, IS ne
intended to make that city his future nome
With this object in view he went to the ONCE OF
the Galveston Land and improvement company
anu purchased one OF the cnolce Iots III Tue OeA-
yer Reservoir suburb, which he paid Tor with
a check on the National bank OF Tacoma In
due course OF time the check was returned
with the statement from the Tacoma bank
that H. C. Walters was unknown to them
and had no funds on deposit there. In the
meantime, on the strength of the introduction
OF II. NJ. Truehart at the bank OF Ball, Hutch
ings Co., Walters succeeded in getting an ad-
vance OF $50 on some drafts deposited by him
when he announced his intention OF going TO
Northwest Texas for the purpose OF making In
vestments. He had SO entirely won the con-
fidence of Truehart Il Co. that they gave him
letter OF introduction to their agent at Colorado
City, where he attempted to work the same
game, but the announcement from the Tacoma
bank that Walters had no funds there and that
he was flooding Texas with worthless drafts has
spoiled the young mans schemes, and every
sheriff in the state has been notified and Is on
the lookout for him. His victims in Galveston
are numerous and are determined to run him
down.
Paul Riecher, formerly of the notorious
Laughton geological survey, and before that
surveyor of King county, has decided to make
Galveston his home.

by them on loan Of 100000 developed into q
certainty this morning. At the stock ex-
change $4,000 of Union Pacific, Denver d Gulf
Consolidated first mortgage SIS were sold out

Quested that he notify the exchange that the

anything about il, and hardly can believe that
such q thing was done.
The condition. of Edward NJ. Field, senior
member OF the firm, Gould said was serious, and
arrangements are being made TO send him to

has repeatedly offered to pay of these loans
since the funding scheme was consummated,
but prepay ment was refused. Since the three
