A young man named Denn came down
from Shasta County yesterday and be-
came the victim of 'bunco steerer."
He met young man named McDon-
aid. who claimed to be from san Fran
cisco, and inquired the way 10 Suffers
Fort and the Capitol.
DEM offered 10 show him the way,
and while Gil the road Mcdonald remem-
bered that he had friend whom he had
not seen for years. but who had given
him his address in the Clunie building.
They stopped TO see the friend, whose
name was said TO be Gregory.
At the room it was learned that the
latter had just stepped out, but would be

cards ia which he had been engaged. His
hand" anu chips lay on the table in

Mcdonald proposed to play his friend S
hand. The other man demurred at first,
but finally consented. y hand contain
ing three queens was dealt 10 Denn also,
and he bet on it all the money he hap
Dened to have with him, but soon learned
that three queens would not beat four
kings.
Finding that he had been buncoed he
looked, UP Officer Fisher and told him
about it. The officer arrested Mcdonald
on the street shortly afterward, but on
going to the room his confederate and the

Central National Bank of Peoria, for Sl50.
a five-dollar gold piece and two baggage
checks. The loss was not made public
until yesterday. and in the meantime the
check had very narrow escape from de-
struction.
On Wednesday, as Jake Zemansky and
several friends were in front of his store
on Second street. between [ and j, a
couple of small boys came out of the
alley near by, one of whom had slip OF
paper in his hand and was in the act OF
tearing it in two.
Zemansky saw that it looked like a
bank check, and at his request the boy
allowed him to examine it. He asked
the lad where he got it, and the latter re-
piled that he found it in the alley in the
rear OF the Western Hotel. Supecting
that it might be of value to some one,
Zemansky bought it from the boy for ten
cents.
He visited the Western Hotel and ex-
amined the register for two Or three days
back, but could not find Reynolds name
there. Yesterday he took the check to a
prominent bank and asked the cashier to
return it TO the Peoria bank, in the hope
of finding the owner.
Later in the day it was learned that a
man named Reynolds had lost such a
check; that he had gone 10 Placer
County, and would return here i'll a
few days. The bank had already writ
ten a letter to the Peoria bank and
was about to mail it. when the above facts
were learned, SO the check was returned
To Zemansky to hold for The owner when
he comes to the city.
1t appears that two boys-presumably
the same ones who had the check-had
also been to the depot and sold two balg-
gage checks to the baggage master for 10
cents, ana these proved to be the ones
that Reynolds lost. Hence all the gentle
man will be out of pocket is the miss
ing So

HOPS were LIVELY YESTERDAY.
At Least They Were About Justice
Henry's Court.
Chris. Wagner Held to Answer fol
Alleged Fraud and Witness Beede
Severely Lectured.

Although both sides in the -Wag-
ner hop case rested on Wednesday, fur
ther testimony was taken yesterday when
the parties assem- bled in Justice Henry's
office for argument.
Wagner, the defendant, gave his own
version of the transaction which resulted
In the commencement of a criminal ac-
ton against him.
he said that Gray was to wait for a
settlement until he (Wagner) should dis
pose OF the hops shipped to the Lemays
In London. The hops went IN his name,
and he was responsible for the freight
thereon. Gray had Duplicate of the
shipping receipt. and he made no objec
ton to the hops going in witness name.
Gray wanted settlement last Deem
Der, just before Christmas, but witness
told him he could not settle until he re-
ceived the money for the hops. He
tWagner) signed a letter which Cashier
Gerber of the State Bank wrote to the
Lemays III London. 1t requested the lat
ter to remit to Gray the purchase price Of
the hops, as they belonged to him.
Wagner declined to state on cross-ex-
animation by Attorney Dunn, what he
said to Gerber and Gray regarding the
advance he had received from the Le-
mays. lie had not paid Gray anything on
account of the hops, but had given him
due bill showing that he owed him for
them.
Joseph Gray, the complaining witness,
was called in rebuttal. He denied that he
had ever sold the hops to Wagner, or that
the latter gave him due bill for them.
lie received from Wagner memorandum
OF the purchase from Glacken at Perkins,
also a bill of lading showing that they
had been shipped to the Lemay firm in
London.
The case was then argued by Assistant
District Attorney J. Charles Jones for the
prosecution and G. L. Jones for the de-
tense, at the conclusion of which Justice
Henry held Wagner to answer on the
charge OF derauding Gray, and fixed his
bail at -, 000
THE BEEDE CONTEMPT MATTER,
When the matter of the contempt of
witness j. X. Beede was called, prior to
the taking OF the testimony, Justice
Henry postponed it until the afternoon.
1t was expected that the local Manager of
the Postal Telegraph Company would be
shorn OF goodly portion of his months
salary, and this forecast was strength
ened by the vigorous language in which
Judge Henry opened his remarks to the
witness.
He scored him severely for his manner
on the witness-stand in evading direct
replies to the questions asked him, and
said that in all his long experience as a
magistrate he had never encountered
witness who manifested such apparent
disregard for a courts instructions or
who appeared To have so poor an idea of
his duty as witness.
In conclusion he said, however, that he
supposed the witness had acted under the
instructions or advice of someone else,
whose directions he seemed TO think it
his duty to carry out Under these cir
cumstances he had concluded not to i'm
pose fine. as the punishment should fall
on someone else.
The matter was then dismissed, and the
court resumed the hearing OF another
case.
