Auditor Twiehsll Requires Treasurer's
Certificate to Deeds Filed for Record.
Thomas r. Shepard. acting in behalf of
the Grant Street Electric Railway Com
pany, yesterday petitioned Judge Langley
for an alternative writ of mandamus COM
pelling Auditor Twichell to appear In
court and show cause why he should net
receive for record deed given by Fred E.
Sander. incorporated, to the Grant Street
Electric Railway Company, conveying to
the latter corporation the Grant Street
Electric railway property. intending the
franchises granted by the city of Seattle
and King county for consideration OF
$4,000.
II is alleged in the petition that the deed
was offered to the auditor for recording on
August % and at the same time the legal
fee for filing was rendered. The auditor.
however, would not accept the fee and
refused to file the instrument because il
lacked the treasurer's certificate certify
ing that all taxes upon the prop
erty had been paid. in accordance
with an act passed by the last Legislature.
Judge Langley issued the writ and set the
case for hearing Friday.
A decision recently handed down by the
supreme court declares the law requiring
the treasurer's certificate of the payment
of taxes invalid.

before him Monday on q charge of passing

The story of the crime If 1t conld be called
q crime. Is a rather interesting one.
1t seems that the two boys. whose names
the authorities will not divulge. live on
Mercer island, and are in the habit of rid
ing across the lake in the pilot house Of n
steamer running between the island and
Leshi park. The captain of the steamer
had counterfeit dollar among the trink-
cts in the small box in the pilot house.
and this dollar the bows, who are neither
OF them more than Is years of age, one day
obtained of the captain. who cared moth
ing for IL and readily let them have it, A
short time after this, about two weeks ago.
the young men went fishing down the
lake towards Renton. They needed some
salmon eggs for bait. and q
siwash carrying basket full Of
them appeared just at the
wrong time. The innate love of mischief
I'm the lads asserted itself, aad not think
ing of the consequences. they gave the
pigeon-toed red man the dollar for a
string Of eggs. The coin is very fair
counterfeit, and the siwash went on his
way rejoicing as FAR as Renton, and there
tried TO pass the bogus standard Of value
upon a storekeeper. The latter was up to
the times and detected the fraud At once.
Then there was a scared and mao Indian
aud an interested storekeeper. The pair
went down and accused the boys. They
ut once owned up to passing the coin aud
TO knowing that il was no. genuine. The
storekceper was by no means heartless
man and he arranged compromise. the
boys agreeing TO leave their boa: with the
Indian as n security for the payment Of a
good dollar and walked home sadder and
great deal wiser.
The affair would probably have dropped
out Of sight forever had not the story z Il

NJ. r. Ward. the alleged gold brick

against him Of obtaining money under
false pretenses was dismissed. The reason
for THIS Is that the statutes Of the state, as
construed By Judge HGmes In similar
case some time ago. do not prescribe
against this class OF swindiers. The only
provision under which 1.-THE case could pos
sihiy es prosecuted IS that relating 20 OBJ
