BONDS SWINDLING BELL
HOW A STREET RAILWAY CON-
DUCTOR WAS CAUGHT.
Tho "Brother-in-Law" SuccessfuiIy
Used to Embezzlo Fares
Strest Cars-An Arrest
Over IT..

After an arsence OF several years the
little stealing device popularly called the
'brother.in-law, has again turned up.
This time it was in the possession OF a
conductor on the Los Angeles electric
railway. This instrument is made to fit
in the palm OF the hand, and when tax
ing fare the embezzing knight of the
punch oonceals it and rings it instead Of
the bell punch. The fare OF course ia
appropriated by himself.
Detective Lawson's agency is respon-
sible for the breaking up of the private
mint, and has accused young con.
ductor named E. +. Bond, or Augustus
Bond, OF operating the "brothsr-in.law"
on the local lines.
A detective had been watching Bond
for some time aud it is said the con-
ductor was seen to 60 to repair chop
on East Fifth street Monday afternoon
where he left one OF the swindling de-
vices to be repaired and bargained for
the manufacture of several moro OF them

to have collected so cents in fares in the
presence OF the detective, ringing III,

A warrant was sworn out for Bonds
arreat on charge OF en- bezzement, and
Detective Auble served it late that night.

and many of his iriends think him inno-
cent and are doing everything in their
power to gain for him his liberty.
Bond WAS arraigned in Justice Sea-
man's court yesterday, and his case set
for hearing today at l 80 p. m.
The 'brother-in-law" is compara-
lively new swindling device. It blos-
somed out i've or six years ago all over
the country, and was operated so freely
that the emhezzlemsnt was soon de-
tected. Several yesrs ago an enterpris-
ing young San Franciscan manufactured
a lot of the instruments, took them to
Australia and made small fortune out
OF the deal. In Melbourne he disposed
OF one to every c,nductor at $40 apiece,
clearing at leas5 $lS on each sale. He
got rid OF the lot about the time the
railway companies found that their re-
ceipts wero decreasing with an unprece-
dented rapidity. The embezzling con-
duotors were roughly handled tor their
madesds, and there has been no great
operation OF the "brother-in-law" in
three or four years.
A couple OF years ago one or two of
the conductors on the Blue line were
caught using the machine, and were ar
reated But such cases in Los Angelica
are rare.

Arizona Coming to the Front With It's

Miners from Arizona who have re-
Gently come to town have much to say
of wonderfully rich gold strike made
by some Mexicsns on the Hassaysmpa,
opposite the mouth of FOOLS canon and
within rifle shot of the Colorado river.
Naggets weighing several ounces have
been taken out OF the ledge, and there
are about 40 Mexicans engaged in taking
out coarse gold in the Rulch below the
ledge. The ledge is well defined and
consists OF about three feet Of q pay
streak, in granite and porphyry. A
miner who came in from the country
recently says that he believes the find
to be one OF the most remarkable in the
territory within recent years, and bids
fair to excel the Harqua Hala strike.

Russian journals report that 1t has
been decided to use petroleum as loco
motive fuel on this Baltic railroad, ,
which is significant. because its lines
are almost the most distant of any ia
Russia from the oil wells. Great reser-
voirs are to be built in st. Petersburg
and Reval and three other stations,
which will hold in the aggregate about
5000. 900 gallons. Coal should be cheap
on this railroad, as English vessels come
to the Baltic ports for grain. timber and
other Russian produce, and will bring
in coal at nominal price rather than
20 in ballast.

An E,UitorialCaII.

Capt. L. F. McCardell, the big, hand
some, able editor of the Cumberland
Ne,rs, stepped into the JOURNAL office
last Saturday evening, but the JOUR
NAL will temporarily yield to him the
floor. He says
OF course the Ne~S man called on the great
paper, and found the editor in. A cordial
hand-shake over the impossible chasm that
divides protection from free trade, neither
party compromising in the slightest partc-
ular, was one of the main features of the
occasion.
To those who do not know Capt.
McCardell it is necessary to state that
he frequently indulges both the subtle
phraseology and astute philosophy of
that entirely great and good man. the
immortal Pickwick. Hence. the sub
stitulion of free trade" forincidental-
lv protected coal must be accepted as
one of his willy but blameless eXtrava-
ganzas which are always pardonable
in men of debonair temperament and
tlamboyant nomenclature His con-
ception, therefore, of an ''impassable
chasm' between protection per sc and
protection adjunrtu being thus per-
spicuously interpreted, it is easy to
understand how there could be nothing
serious in the beautiful flight of an
imagination that is as vivid as it is
buoyant.
This explanation seeming necessary,
it remains for the JOURNAL to ac-
knowledge the pleasure which the
captain sviSi. brought both specifically
and incidentally, and the later Joy of
observing that he carried home eX-
hilarating memories of grea, big
fraternal occasion. visions of Frost
burg's pretty women, and luminous
architectural perspective of our future
courthouse.
These considerations incline the
JOURNAL to suggest that the captain
does not come often enough.
