A MYSTERIOUS STRANGER
Detained by the Police on Suspicion
of Crookedness.
He Gives Two Different Names. and
Tells Widely Varying Stories
About Himself.

Yesterday a well-dressed, smart-look-
ing man of from 80 to 30 years, who had
the appearance of a travelling agent of
some sort, pulled buggy into Wilson &
Sons stable There was harness in the
vehicle, and he tried to sell them to the
proprietors, but without success. He
there gave his name as Hamill.
Later on he led in a small bay horse.
which he evidently had tied not far away.
He then went to Bell Il Co.'S. auction
house and offered the entire outfit for S25.
Mr.. Bell told him if he would bring
some reputable citizen to vouch for him,
he (BelD would buy the horse and buggy.
Hamill said the clerk of the Western
Hotel would identify him, and visit
was made to that hostelry, but the clerk
could not remember that he had ever
seen the gentleman before.
Some time afterward Hamill went to a
saloon-keeper, whom he did not know,
and offered him So to go TO Bell u Co. s
and identify him, but instead of so doing
the saloon-keeper notified Chief Rodgers.
The latter detailed officer Alter to hunt
up Hamill and arrest him on suspicion
of having stolen the horse and buggy.
On being taken to the City Jail the
prisoner gave his name as Croft. He told
Alter he had owned the buggy for nine
years; that he had lived in oregon for
twenty-five years, and that he drove
down here by way of Truckee. He could
not, however. give the name of any
town or city in Oregon, nor of any place
he had lived there; neither could he tell
at what hotel he stopped in Truckee
(Which is not on the route from Oregon to
this city.
To Chief Rodgers the fellow said he
came here by railroad; that he had been
about here for months and that he had
owned the buggy for eight months, hav-
ing traded pair of oxen for it in Oregon,
while to Alter he said he bought and paid
cash for the vehicle. The man has told
so many different stories that Chief Rod
gers is confident the horse and buggy do
not belong to him and that he was never
in Oregon.
The buggy is an open one, of the kind
used by business men, and bears the
mark of the III. C. Shaw Works" of
Stockton. Chief Rodgers is desirous of
hearing from anyone who has lost such a
vehicle.
Hamill Tor Croft is about five feet ten
inches in hight, of sandy" complexion,
and sports a reddish mustache.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
theneeds of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
It's excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

But His III Luck Was Only Explained
When He Returned.
He was tall and lanky, with longish
beard and mustachios, dropping nose
and hanging under lip, high and mar
row forehead, surmounted with a stock
of hay-colored hair. Altogether his tout
ensemble reminded one fOrcibly OF the
picture of satyr; but the kindly light of
the blue eyes, and certain little Fuckers
of humor about the capaciOus mouth,
proclaimed the hidden existence of a
genial soul.

Hours passed and the sun was low
when William returned, tired and
hungry, and without bear meat. He had
followed him, SO he said, from thicket to
thicket, and through swamps and over
hills, sometimes catching a glimpse of

shoot, till at last he lost him in a rocky
gorge and was forced by the approach of

AN OLD TRICK
But There are Always Some Persons
to be Caught.

But There are Always Some Persons
to be Caught.
Yesterday Chief of Police Rodgers
learned that smooth swindler had been
about the city working ladies on the bo-
gus check dodge. The fellow s..system is
not new one, by any means, and though
it has been exposed time and again in the
press, there appears to be always few
persons ready to be taken in by it.
The operator goes to house where
there are rooms to rent and engages one
for a month. Being stranger, he ex-
poets of course to pay in advance, and
tenders the lady check, usually for
few dollars over and above the amount of
the rent. receiving the balance in money.
Yesterday the person now operating
here succeeded in getting 81 from Mrs.
Patterson, on p street, between Eighth
and Ninth. and 81 from Mrs. Ray at
Seventh and III streets. He tried the game
on Mrs. Barnes, on / street, between
Ninth and Tenth, but the lady was sus
picious of the check business and did not
rent him room.
How many persons he has swindled al
together is not known.
