A DETECTIVE TRICKED
How a Sagebrush SwindIer Played the
Check Swiudle.

Check SwIudle.
Even shrewd detectives are not alwavs
'onto themselves in the presence of the
trained and oily-tongued swindIer. If
anyone had told Railroad Detective Rem
True that stranger could work off a
bogus check on him the officer would
have considered such individual a fit sub
ject for an insane asylum.
But it was done, just the same, and now
the detective has all the officers on the
lookout for Charles NJ. Lester of Reno.
New, on charge of swindling.
1t appears that on Wednesday evening
a friend Of Mr.. True's introduced to him
Charles NJ. Lester, just from Reno who
wished to have cashed check on Reno
bank for SIC 90. it being after banking
hours"
True accommodated the sagebrush tour-
ist, and the next day deposited the check
in the Farmers and Mechanics Bank for
collection. Yesterday he learned to his
dismay that the check was a bogus one.
wherefore the charge filed by him against
| Lester for swindling.
| The fact has been learned that the fell
| low had recently served sixty days in the
! Reno Jail for similar transaction over
there. He came to Sacramento few days
ago and put up at J-street hotel. He
his way from Reno to San Francisco. and
had remained here for a few DAYS 10 see
the Capital City and the ''elephant'' he
| had so often heard of as being one of the
curiosities here.
He was in no great hurry about leav-
ing the city to escape the consequences of
the trick he had played on the detective,
for on Thursday be called at the police
station and told the officers he knew
| Fredericks, the outlaw, and that he was
IN camp near Reno. He said his name
| was Hoffman. and he wanted the police
department to supply him with money 10
make the trip there and bring the outlaw
back. He did not get the money, per-
| haps for the reason that the police depart
ment is dead broke all thetime.
| Lester is described as a German about
| 35 years of age, tive feet eight inches in
| hight, with sandy short hair, mustache
aud beard, and wore a light brown suit
OF clothes, all made of similar material.

Thief Escaped.
There came near being another dead
chicken thief on Thursday morning for
the Coroner to sit his well-upholstered

c. b. Thompson, who lives on street,
near Eighth, having suffered consider
ably from the depredations Of chicken
thieves, rugged up an alarm and con-
nected it with wires leading to his poultry
yard, so that he might be warned OF the
presence OF the next thief that visited his
premises.
The thing worked to a charm, for about
o'clock on Thursday morning he was
awak kened by furious ringing Of bells in
his house. He grasped his old-style
bulldog pistol and rushed out just in time
to see man climbing over his back fence
lie opened up fire on the enemy and the
fellow fell, but again got up and escaped.

OTHER COUNTIES, TOO.

Continuing Mr.. Irvine said that other
counties wanted white hop-picl1ers just
as bad as Sacramento does. Yolo County
hopmen will expend between $4,000 and
$4,000 this season for picking. and give
employment 10 hundreds. Yuba County
wants more of them, and Lake County,
Mendocino and other hop districts were
all in the same condition.
Apropos to what Mr.. Irvine saws. it
might be added that the fruit men have
been experiencing about the same trouble
getting white pickers. 1t was only re-
Gently that prominent fruit-grower,

despite the cry of mo work" he could
not get white men to work, and none Of
his neighbors could either. 1t was not
because they were not willing to pay good
wages, he said, because no fault could be
found on this score. But it was simply a
case of not being able to induce ANYBODY
to go to work. The fruit was ripening
fast. and had to be picked without delay.
In their dilemma the fruit men had to fall
back on the Chinese and Japs again.

WHAT THEY CAN EARN.

w nat wages can the hop-pickers
earn?" asked the reporter.
We'll, that depends upon their
rapidity. You see, we pay them l cent
for every pound of hops they pick. An
average man can pick at least 200 pounds
day. The women average from $50 to
l75 pounds, and the girls and boys about
the same. Last year there was a l6-year-
old girl on my place who picked over 200
pounds day easily. The families camp
right on the fields and it G1rtakes more
OF picnic than anything else. In the
East houses are provided for the pickers,
but out here we have not done so as vet,
as the Chinese and Indians prefer TO
sleep outside. But we put up the cabins
as fast as the supply OF whites increases.
and would house them all if we could get
whites exclusively. Now, Pm in earnest
about this matter. There's no reason in
the world why anybody should be COM
planning that there is no work to do, and
there is no reason in the world why all
this money should go to Indians,
Cinnamon and Japs, when needy famil-
les of our own color and race could have
it just as well as not. We don't want the
MongolIans, but we have to take them.

WANT TO GO TO WORK?
Assessor Irvine Says Hundreds Of Hop
Pickers Are Needed.
A Desire to Give Employment to White
People Rather Than Chinese,
Japanese or Indians.

whats allthistalk I hear about the
unemployed p {sked Assessor Irvine
yesterday. Stopping a RECoRD-UN1oN
reporter. M lN
''Guess there's; lots of them who can't
get work,p ventured the scribe.
"Thatso? Well, there's no excuse for
them not getting all the work they can
attend to, right now-men, women and
children. What do 1 mean? Why, just
what l say, pf,course. l assert, and can
back 1t up, toe shat there is plenty of
employment to be had right here in Sac
ramento County, to say nothing of the
surrounding counties. And good, whole
some employment. too. 1 refer to the
opportunities in the hop-tields.
Being asked TO be more explicit, Mr..
Irvine said there were millions of hops
to be picked from now until the first of
November. "There are close on to 1900
acres of hops right here in Sacramento
County alone," he continued, land hun
dreds of men, women and children Will
be required to pick them. 70 give you
an idea how many people employment
can be given to, let me tell you that it
takes one hundred pickers thirty days to
cIean up twenty-five acres, Now, last
year the hop-men of this county paid out
$4,000 TO the piclVers, so you see that was
distributed among good many people.
This year the hop acreage is larger, and
OF course still more money will be paid
out. But the great trouble heretofore
has been that all of this money went to
Cinnamon, Indians and Japs."
WHITE PEOPLE PREFERRED.
Don't the hop men want white peo-
ple?" asked the reporter.
want them! Well l should say thew
do. There is not hop man in this county
who does not give the preference to white
people. But the trouble is the white folk S
don't seem to want this kind OF work
here. 1t is not so in The East. There the
work is all done by whites, and they are
not paid as much as the California hop
men pay. Why, even up here at Wheat
land, III Euba County. whole families go
into the hop fields and do the work. 1t
used to be done principally by China
men, but IL is not so now. | want to see
Sacramento County like Yuba-none but
whites i'll the fields. They are lust as
good, if not better pickers than the In
