CLEVER SWINDLE.
Young Man Worked for "A Hundred
DnlIoTa

! Young Man Worked for Hundred
Dollars.
| Arthur B. Holbcome, young man of p
years of age, reached town yesterday after
noon from San Diego, where he has been
spending the winter for MS health.
Holbcome seems to DE q peculiarly un-
fortunate fellow, as almost Immediately
| upon his arrival he met with a series Of
| mishaps. First, he was very eleyerly
swindled out of 500; secondly, he got a
severe thrashing, and third and lastly came
within an ace Of being locked up.
The young man is on his way to Portland,
Or, and having few hours to spare In town
he sauntered into the Cafe Royal and soon
entered into a game Of billiards with total
stranger.
The pair played but short time, rs Hob
come being good billiardist soon was mas
ter OF all of his opponents cash.
Now here Is where tie stranger worked
his game
Upon being pressed to continue, he adj
mitted being broke, but produced diamond
stud worth, according to Holbcome, who
used 10 be in business with his father, re-
tired jeweler OF Chicago, at least $500.
Tie stranger said that he had found the
stud near the billiard table on which they
had just been playing, and, being short of
cash, would sell il for 500.
IlOlUCDlBc at bDCt IOCOPIiZiDS DdTEdll
bought the stone and then resumed the game.
According to the victims statement about
10 minutes had elapsed when a well-dressed
man of about 20 years OF age walked up TO
the table and inquired if a diamond stud
had been found, as be had lost one.
Holbcome's companion Immediately an
swered and explained the previous transac-
ton. and upon stranger No. demanding
the stud and threatening to call in an
officer unless delivered at once. Hoibcome
handed it ever. One Of the lOungers of the
cafe hearing of the Transaction Informed
H0lbcome that it was a swindle, and he
started 0CL TO follow the pair.
Finding a man in a Fourth-street saloon
resembling the claimed owner of the stud, he
accused him of the swindle and received
sound thrashing for reply. The unfor-
tunate fellow was then elected from the
saloon, and reached the pavement just in
tine to receive the attentions of a detective,
who required halt an hours straight talk ID
be convinced that HolocOme did not need
locking up.
Besides losing his 500 the Chicagoan lost
his nat, got himself covered with dirt and
received quite a painful cut over the left
eye. He intended leaving for Portland at
o'clock last evening, but said that he would
cheerfully 81 end week in town if he could
catch the swindlerS.

An enthusiastic meeting Of Seventeenth
street pToperty-owners was held last night
at Seventeenth and Douglass streets. 1t
was the regular meeting night ana the gath
ering was a jolly one and the victory Of
Thursday morning was duly celebrated.
Those present were addressed by E. J. Nc
NamaTa, ". J. Haley, Hugh Foley and
others. Nh Mcnamara was very heartily
received, as he was the mouthpiece of the
club before the Board of Supervisors and
the Street Committee when tie change Of
grade on Seventeenth street, from Douglass
10 Ashbury, was asked for.
He spoke Of the good work which had
been accomplished Tor the property-0wners
by the club. Although the latter was barely
three months old. it bad done more good
than many od-esta blished Improvement
clubs. When it was first organized the
Jo0st-SteYens Club was well under way,
and Observation-Disclosures owners lwere being
deluded ia the belief that the grade estab-
lished by the solid nine through The efforts
Of BehTend JOost and NJ. Y. Stevens was
going to work wonders for them. When
the real state of affairs was made known TO
them, however, they deserted the JOOst
ranks and joined the regular club, and when
the Board Of Supervisors were made aware
of the true state Of affairs they recognized
the right people Immediately.

clubs petition for a change Of grade Oh next
Tuesday night. when a large delegation
from Seventeenth street viii be present.

LEZINSKY VS.. DELMAS.
The Plaintiffs Plausible Explanation c
the Case.

The Plaintiffs Plausible Explanation Of
the Case.
Judge Slack forced the Lezinsky- Delmas
case to a conclusion Yesterday by holding
night session. Charles Heggerty, who has
been acting as Lezinsky's attorney, did not
appear in the morning when the trial was
resumed, and his absence was regarded by
many as significant. He Informed the court
by letter, however. that business engage
ments required his presence elsewhere.
LeZinsky conducted the trial himself, as he
has presumed to do even in the presence OF
Mr. Heggerty, and in the afternoon also
took the stand in rebuttal in his own beha
Mr.. LeZinsky frankly admitted that he Is
not over methodical in his business affairs,
but this had been lifelong fault beyond
remedy except by changing his very nature.
The plalntiff-wituess took up in turn his
monthly statements for 1887, 1885, 1889 and
1890 of current expenses while managing
clerk for Dir Delmas to disproVe the latter's
charges of acknowledgement of funds en-
trusted TO him and delinquencies In the pay
ment of interest on mortgage to bank
or claims against the office.
Mr. LeZinsky's explanation of these
charges was a very plausible one, borne out
in a measure also by the accounts them
selves. 1t was in effect that for the regard
which he bore for his employer, ana with
the desire 20 save him the harrassng de-
mands OF creditors, lie had perforce Of his
position in the Office undertaken the nnde-
sirable task OF satisfying these creditors
with such funds as he might have in hand.
Mr.. Demas did not always have a bank
account, there was not. always money on
hand and so it was that when he did receive
a check from him he made that money go as
far as possible by partial payments out OF
the money on the claims for that month
These checks were often for less than the
account for that month called for; fire.
qnently such check was not given until late
in the month, and in not a few Instances
the settlement was not made for two or
three months and the balance carried for
ward Indeed, said Mr.. LeZinsky. testifying
from the statements, he had often advanced
money out of his own pocket or from money
of his mother and in his keeping to meet
demands of Mrs. Delmas or to quiet more
than pressing creditor
Instead of receiving thanks for all this
Mr.. LpZinsky said with uufeigned bitter
ness that his only reward had been these
charges Of dishonesty ana dere,ictiGn. He
maintained that Mr.. Delmas had knowledge
OF this backwardnesS of the payment bf the
claims against MIN and must have been
aware of his clerks method of liQuidating
them, according to the amount OF money
at command
