states that on Nov. 1 he drew a war

not positive that II Is his warrant
which appears in Mr.. Miller's list OF
fraudulent warrants. but he says the
amounts and dates correspond. he
was sworn in as a special policeman
but he does not know on what fund MS
warrant was drawn. In Mr.. Miller
list appears a warrant issued Nov. i.
1894, and drawn on the police FUND IN
favor OF Martin Rooney for $685.. On
Jan. I, 1895. another warrant was Is
sued in favor of Martin Rooney for

pinned back In the warrant register

carefully scratched of. but traces or

Of Martin Rooney drew a warrant for
1865 for services as special policeman
during the Fourth of July troubles last

GOOD FOR CALLAHAN.
He's Sworn on and Is Hard at wor :
Earning Honest Money.

Callahan the Bum has sobered up
again and renewed his pledge. and is
hard at work in the Colusa-Parrot
mine. After continuous drunk of sew
eral years. during which time he be-
came the best known and most familiar
figure around the city Jail, Callahan
took the pledge couple of months ago
and he lived up to 1T in most surpris-
ing manner. A week or two ago he
went into a saloon and called for a
glass of cider and "a smart bartender
mixed some whiskey in with II. The old
craving for liquor came back and Cal
lahan nearly went into the gutter
again. He caught himself in time. how
ever, and he has now sworn off against
cider as we'll as whiskey.

PAYMENT REFUSED.
The City Treasurer Returns to the Bank
"A Number of Warrants


Probably for the purpose Of finding
out whether or not the city officials are
in earnest in their declaration that
they will not redeem any Of the war
rants which have been reported by ex~
Assistant City Clerk Miller as being
illegal. the First National bank, which
holds eight or nine of these warrants,
presented them for payment yesterday
to City Treasurer Yoder. Mr.. Yoder
compared them with his list OF alleged
illegal warrants and found that they
were among them and then returned
them to the banks representatives with
the polite statement that dhey would
not be paid. Just what steps will fol-
low is a matter OF conjecture, but II is
probable that something definite will
develop in a very few days. IL is the
opinion of some tina. the city will have
20 cash the warrants and then recover
the money paid out from the bondsmen
II 1t can be proved that they are ille-
gal, while Mayor Thompson maintains
that Il Is w5,hin the power Of the
courts to declare the warrants void
and valueless. II IL can be shown that
they were fraudulently issued
The bank purchased the warrants on
which payment was refused yesterday
from a well-known warrant buyer and
Il will probably not lose anything
whichever way the matter is decided
Among the warrants that have been
declared illegal is one issued on the
sewer fund. Nov /. 1881. in favor OF

AT THE USUAL HOUR

Highwayman.

Mr.. BERTSCH WAS HELD UP

: Rudolph Bertsch had a little expert
ence with a footpad about the usual
hour on Thursday night on Broadway.
which seems to be the favorite street
OF the highwaymen. Mr.. Bertsch Is
employed at the Bee Hive and he re-
manned at the store until little after
IL O'Clock and then started for his
home on East Broadway. Just after
he passed the Hale house a suspicious
looking character. with his hat pulled
down over his eyes walked up to him
and poked a revolver under his nose
and ordered him to throw up his
hands
Mr. Bertsch obeyed with commend
able alacrity but at the same time re-
marked that he didn't have a cent.
which was the truth, as he does not
believe in carrying money around with
him late at night.
That's what they all say" replied
the footpad, as he proceeded to go
through his victim with his disengaged
hand. The only thing of any value
that Mr.. Bertsch had on him was a
dollar and a half Waterbury watch.
which the highwayman took with a
grunt OF disappointment. He looked
through several notebooks in search Of
bills, but not finding any he returned
the books.
Two other men were held up on East
Broadway on Wednesday night, but as
they lost only small amounts the rob-
berries were mot reported TO the police.
I'VE never see policeman over in that
part of town." remarked Mr.. Bertsch
in explanation of the robberies. Near
ly all of the holdups occur between ii
and IL O'Clock. at which hour a great
many of the policemen are at supper.

we desire to modify what we said
last week in regard to the new ditch
enterprise. We stated that in the
absence of better methods of placing
greater volume of the Weiser river
on the land about Weiser, a private
company could be hailed as beneficial
in certain degree. We meant that
to apply only to a straight, legitimate
enterprise where men put their money
INTO its construction because it ena-
bled them to render a service for
which they could charge enough to
yield reasonable return on their in
vestment, and we meant to Include in
the article that if it must be accom-
plished under the water-right system.
If the farmers must do the greater
part of the construction and then
turn the product of their labor over
to one or two individuals, and also
bind themselves up in an agreement
to pay tribute to the institution they
have built but do not own, then it
becomes an absolute detriment to the
country. We sincerely trust that the
farmers are wise enough not to be
drawn irrevocably into scheme
which will mitigate against the future
solution of the water question, COM
plicate any move that may be made
to get cheaper water hereafter, and
which will prevent the future inau-
guration of enterprises of genuine
benefit and necessity. Water schemes
of great magnitude will before long
be brought forward.
