LARGE FIGURES,

In Some Quarters lhis Alleged Fair
Note Is Regarded as Hoax.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 18.-The note for
$500, 900, alleged to have been given by the
late James G. Fair to Leland Stanford,
which has been received by the First Ma
tional bank for collection, is not regarded
seriously here. The note was forwarded
from New York through the ordinary
mail, and was in a large envelope con-
tanning the following brief letter:
NEW YORK, April Q. 1896.
First National Bank. San Francisco Cal:
hand you inclosed note for $4,000 for col
lection and return. Very truly,
WILLIAM 3. HOWELL.
The note purports to have been exc
cuted in San Francisco May %, 1890, and
reads:
Five years after date promise 10 pay to the
order OF Leland Stanford at San Francisco.
without defalcation. ssoo,ooo. for value re-
ceiyed.
The note is signed By James G. Fair and
is indorsed by Leland Stanford. S. G..
Murphy, president of the FIRST Natl onal
bank, upon receipt of the alleged note,
communicated with Louis Breeze, jr. and
]. S. Angus, of the executors of the Fair
estate, but they both disclaimed any
knowledge of any note ever having been
executed by the late ex-senator, and Mr..
Breeze told reporter to-day that there
was no record of il on the books. Bank
ing people generally view the note in the
light Of hoax. The signatures have q
quasi genuine look. and may have been
caused by tracing or clever forging.
suspicious circumstance is that such q
valuable note should have been trusted te
the ordinary mail. aud that the sender
should not identify himself and explain
the nature OF the proceedings.
