Young Isador Lackenbach, the 14-year-old

Among other places visited by him was the
Flood building, where several money orders
were secured. The postal orders were paid
upon signatures forged by the promising youth,

How George w. Leek Is Charged

DIR. George w. Leek does not weigh his words
when he IS angry. This is fully demonstrated
by the terms in which he is accused OF having
spoken concerning his brother, DR.. j. j. Leek
of the Leek Dental College.
There has been considerable trouble between
the brothers for some time past, the one brother
accusing the other of having ousred him from
The dental college, OF which lie was the original
proprietor. More than one suit has been
brought IN the courts TO settle the question, but
the trouble is not over yet. The following
words, uttered ana published on February 21,
1894, are laid 10 The door OF the accused

NO WATER RATES.

This Is What Supervisor Refs

The Board Puts the Destitute I'm

walton ARMY.

Contrary to expectation the Board of
Supervisors did not pass water ordinance
yesterday. At former meeting the board
in.committee of the whole passed to print
an order introduced by Supervisor Rogers
practically re-enactipg the rates which
have been in existence for the last year.
This measure was supported by seven
members and opposed by five Supervisors,
Supervisor Denman introducing the same
order that he supported in 1893.
From this action it was concluded that
the present rates would be maintained. as
only seven votes werei required for the
passage of the order. the Mayor having
no veto power under a decision Of the Su-
preme Court.
Yesterday the situation assumed differ
ent complexion, for before the meeting of
the board the members went into caucus on
the subject of water, and when they
front had taken place.
The cause was the action of Supervisor
Refs in Withdrawing his support from the
Rogers order for which he had previously
voted, which left it lacking one vote neces-
sarv for passage. At the caucus meeting
no less than four propositions were con-
sidered, the result being that no agreement

The four propositions considered were

a discount of per cent on all bills pre-
sented TO the consumer, and. last, Super
visor Refs latest idea TO adjust rates so as
to allow the company per cent dlyl-
dend on its capital stock.
After an hours discussion the Super
visors adjourned the caucus and met in
regular session.
The water question was brought up by
Supervisor Refs. who offered the following
ResotUed, That the TWO orders already passed
