SW|NDLERS' CLEvERWORK
1t Is FoiIed by the Intended
Victim Going Into
Court.
and Fraudulent Manipulation
of Note.

How clever confidence operators take in
even the sharpest of business men was
demonstrated in the case of NJ. NJ. Regens-
burger VS.. E. F. May, L. NJ. Walker, Z. D..
Middlekauf, +. B, Stowe and l.. Z. Alling
on trial before Judge Hebbard yesterday
On the 10th of January, 1892, Walker
and M1ddlekauf rendered plaintiff, a
money broker and commission merchant,
a note for $3.50 in payment of a diamond
rim. The note was made payable to Mid
dlekauf, had been Endorsed to Walker and
was signed 'Ed F. May Regensburger
agreed to accept the note providing that
after Investigation he found the maker
thereof to be financially responsible.
With this understanding the note was
Endorsed to the plaintiff. The latter &C.
cording to the complaint, found that May
was without means and without business
credit, and therefore refused to accept the
note in payment for the pin, and returned
the same to Middlekauf, who took it and
left the plaintiffs Office.
A few minutes later, it is alleged, Mid
dlekauf returned to plaintiff who at the
time was busily engaged and engrossed
with other business affairs, and pretending
to be in great haste called plaintiffs atten-
ton to the fact that by reason of said in
dorsement made to plaintiff the apparent
title to the note was in plaintiff, and asked
plaintiff to lndorse the same, SO that the
title would no longer appear to be in him,
which plaintiff did.
1t is charged that this note was subse-
quently delivered to L. E.. Alling, a resi-
dent of Stockton, to make him appear the
innocent holder of the same, and that he
afterward tried to collect the same through
the Anglo California Bank. The note went
to protest and was then given to Stone for
collection. Payment was refused by plain
tiff and suit was then threatened. 1t is
further alleged that both Ailing and Stone
were conferates of Middlekauf and were
attempting to assist Middlekauf in defraud-
ing plaintiff.
An injun ction was asked for about
year ago to prevent the note being further
negotiated, and was granted. 1t was also
asked that plaintiffs Endorsement be can
ceed and that he be granted $500 damages.
1t IS the latter issue that is now being
heard.
The testimony taken yesterday showed
that May, the maker of the note, is i'm
pecunious, that Alling never had property
to exceed $50, that he was in Stoves
employ~and that Stowe runs collection
agency at Stockton. Walker and Middle
kauf are the same men who attempted TO
swindle Hart Bros, the tailors, some time
ago. The case will be continued Monday.
George w. Monteith, the attorney for
plaintiff, designates the scheme as one of
the most dangerous ever resorted to by
confidence workers.

survive a long time without that when
they can breathe the pure air of heaven.
One would think-isn't it so?-that pure
air is cheap and plenty enough for every
body to have all he needs. Yet most of
the people who are sick in this our world
suffer because they take SO much pains to
shut the fresh air out of doors and them
selves in the house.
There is a difference between the way
boys look at a circus and the way girls
look at it.
Every boy has a speculative look in his
eye, as if he were taking measurements
and making estimates. You realize per-
fectly when you look at him that he is
calculating which one of the tricks he can
do him self, and which ones he is going to
make his little brother do.
You know just as well as you will after q
while that "there is going to be show in
our basement" and that your pet cat has
got to learn to play she's tiger, and all
your pins are going to be carried off for
tickets" The boys like the tricks they
can initiate best. But dainty little bit of
girl on high UP seat said she liked best
the things that looked the most dangerous.
When the men and women on horseback
and in chariots dashed around those dread
full curves and just missed having their
necks broken when the poles struck them
my little lady's eyes would dance and a
streak of pink would go into her cheeks.
"Oh, l just love narrow escapeS!' she
would say. II like to see them just barely
get away without getting killed"
The little girls in Rome used TO grow up
into ladies who liked excitement even bet
ter than that, we are told. They used to
watch the narrow escapes till they were

THE COUPLING BROKE.
Eight Cars Leave Freight Train at
Valencia Street and Dash Back to
Sixteenth Street.

Eight Cars Leave Freight Train at
Valencia Street and Dash Back to
Sixteenth Street.
Southern Pacific freight train was
ascending the steep grade near the Va
lencia-street depot about $50 o'clock
yesterday morning. The train was long
one and the engineer had to put on full
steam. The strain proved two great for
one of the couplings and it broke.
Seven cars and the caboose Immediately
started down grade. The conductor and
brakemen in the caboose did not realize
the situation till the cars had attained
terrific speed. They promptly put on the
brakes and by that means succeeded in
checking In measure the speed.
AS the escaping cars neared the yard at
the foot of Sixteenth street the switchman
heard the noise and OWNED the cause. He
ran to the switch and the cars dashed into
siding and were brought to a standstlll
without colliding with anything beyond
the heavy piece of wood at the end OF the
siding. There was, fortunately, no acct
dent to any of the employees or damage to
any of the cars.
Two or three months ago several cars
became detached near Ocean View and
dashed into an engine at the Sixteenth
street yards. On that occasion two of the
cars were smashed to pieces and the engine
was badly damaged.
If this sort of thing continues somebody
will get killed, and then the companys
officials will properly examine their coup

MINING IN This STATE.
E. A. Stent Reviews Recent
Developments in TuOl-
umne County.
MODERN METHODS DEMANDED.
Many Mines in California Awaiting
Capital to Become Paying
Properties.

1.-THE business of gold mining is in a
more prosperous condition than it has
been for many years" observed E. A.
Stent at the Cosmos Club few evenings
ago.
Mr.. Stent is resident OF Stent, Tuol-
umne County, which is thrifty mining
town named for him on account OF his
fundamentally in the recent mining de-
velopment made in that section of the
mother lode
In reviewing the progress made in the
mining industry Mr.. Stent said:
cat no time in recent years has there
been SO great demand for gold proper
ties or so many of them paying. The
principal mines of the State are now
owned by private corporations. Many
small claims or prospects belong to indi-
vidual miners, but capital is required to
open and develop quartz or gravel mines
and to conduct the business properly.

Everybody who wants to go to the circus
has to borrow child of some sort to
make an excuse for being there. One
tired-looking woman had only been able
to borrow baby few-a very few
weeks old.
The little thing lay very still in its
white robes, all be-laced and be-frilled.
Its tiny hands pink like the petals of a
flower, and almost as transparent, only
curled up and Strengthened out again
convulsively when the din of shouts and
trumpets grew loudest. Do babies who
are treated like that 1--we? sometimes /
wonder.
And, if they do, can they grow into Just
as good people as do the wee folks VINO
sleep the hours away in the quiet of vine
covered porches their hammocks rocked
by summer winds?
1t has been said that Spartan mothers
were made to expose their new born babes
for three days and nights upon the hill
sides without food or any care.
If the child died it was well, because he
could not have been strong enough Tor the
battle of life any way. If he lived he was
a hero and deserved to rank with kings.
But the air of Greece was soft and mild,
and the quiet of deserted wastes was Just
what babies need. AS for food, people can

When the excitement began to subside
and the people to go away l found time at
last to take good look at that boy of
mine. He was ragged boy, besides being
one of the most soiled boys you ever saw
in your life. If he had washed his face
this fall it must have been in one of the
hair was that gay color which puts carrots
to shame, and makes every body laugh ex-
cept the people who are obliged to wear
it. And his eyes! They were SO badly
and completely crossed that their owner
must have been able to keep track of all
the things that were done in both the rings
of that circus without turning his head an
inch the whole evening long.
At last l understood that the ticket
taker was only trying to pay me compli-
ment, in his humble way, when he called
softly after me that my boy didn't look
very much like me.
