New Developments Regarding
the Carson Steal
A WATCHMAN IS MISSING
He Loaned Money on Mortgages in San
Francisco
1t Is Charged That He Levied BlackmaiI on
the Robbers and Then Left His
Brother In the Lurch

SAN FRANCISCO, April 9.-The Ex-
aminer says James Heney, for four years
watchman in the refining room of the
Carson mint, is missing, and accuses him
of being a beneficiary of the big steal in
the mint.
Heney served the government during
the Republican administration and retired
from office year or more ago, when Su-
perintendent Adams took charge of affirs.
Immediately after his retirement he
came to this city and branched out as a
speculator.
Through his agent. l.. W. Howe, he
made numerous investments. lending
money on mortgages. When the first
news of the mint scandal reached this
city Heney disappeared. Then stories OF
his doings while watchman became
current.
Heney, it is charged, while acting as
guardian of the Carson mint. became
aware of what was going on. By threat
ening to expose them he forced the men
who were looting the mint to declare
him in on the scheme. Just what his
share was is not known, but whatever the
man received he shipped to brother who
was located at Folsom in this state.
This brother. Michael Heney, had the
bullion remeIted and shipped to the San
Francisco mint for coinage by a Folsom
merchant, who was made an innocent
party to the steal.
After the bullion was converted into
coin the money was turned over to James
Heney, who was then in this city, and
invested, the understanding being that
Michael Heney should have half inter-
est in all accruing profits.
This plan worked nicely until the dis
covery at Carson. Then the boodlers,
bearing exposure, planned to leave the
uountry. 1t was arranged that James
Ihould gather in all the money possible
snd then join Michael at Sacramento.
from where the two were to make their
way out of the country.
James obeyed instructions so far as
they related to gathering in the money.
He failed, however, to make connection
with the waiting brother in Sacramento:
Instead he continued right on eastward
and in now supposed to be on his way to
England, while Michael is believed t. be
in hiding somewhere in the state.
The investments made by Howe for the
eX-watchman amount to several thousand
dollars and were consummated just about
the time Heney retired from the mint.
Heney also left behind him wife and
several children.

Charged With the Grand Larceny Of S7oo
Check From a Letter Addressed
to Namesake

Mrs. Sarah Stebbins, tired of the chase
gave herself up to the authorities yester-
day afternoon and last night was confined
in the city prison. She will probably have
hearing today. W. +. Thomas the
alleged accomplce of the woman, is out
on bail.
On the o3d of February Mrs. Stebbins
took from the postoffice of this city let
ter addressed to Mrs. Sarah E. Stebbins,
"a lady from the east stopping. here await
ing remittance from her husband. This
letter Mrs. Stebbins (without the E.)
opened, finuing the check for $500 on the
German Savings bank within, and as it
looked like hers she appropriated it.
She attempted to cash it at the bank,
but was refused the money until she
could be identified. w. +. Thomas
obligingly identified her to the saatisfac-
ton of the cashier and she secured the
$780, Later the thing was found out and
Thomas was arrested. The woman has
been in hiding. Her surrender caused
considerable excitement among the inter
ested parties. Detectives Goodman and
Bradish have been at work on the case
and it is owing to their efforts that the
matter is about to be settled.

BOGUS POSTAGE STAMPS
Government Detectives Make Big
Discovery
One of the Most Unique and Clever Swindes
Ever Perpetrated on the
Government

CHICAGO, April 9.-The Tribune says
United States Secret Service officials in
Chicago and Washington have unearthed
probably the most unique and at the
same time important swindle ever perpe-
trated upon any government.
Its magnitude can only be guessed at,
but it is believed thousands upon thou
sands of dollars have been secured by a
number of skilled counterieiters. who
have reproduced with wonderful skill
and accuracy the pink two-cent postage
stamp.
Whether the counterfeiters have accom-
plices in dishonest postmasters is not
known. 1t is thought the country is
flooded from New York to San Francisco
with these spurious stamps. and the
United States has been carrying millions
of letters from which not one cent of rev.
enue was received.
Chicago has apparently been the head
quarters OF the gang, and its product has
been shipped to distributing agents
through the express companies. Just ex-
actly how the information reached the
Government officials is not known. But
they evidently got straight tip, for last
evening Captain Stuart of the postal in
spectors department and Captain Porter
or the united states secret service bureau
called at the Weils-Fargo office. They
were taken in the store room and there
found an oblong package looking like a
big roll of music. 1t contained 0.000 OF
the counterfeit stamps. 1t was impossi-
BILE to get Inspector Stuart or Captain
Porter to say single word regarding the
package. No one knew anything of the
case. 1t was said in Washington that
while the gang had headquarters in Chi
cago it was operating in st. Louis Gin
cinnati, Buffalo and as far West as San
Francisco

THE YOLO BASIN
Governor Budd Asked to Remedy a Break
in River

in River
SACRAMENTO, April "a. c. Hink-
son of Sacramento and George H. Swingle
OF Yolo appeared before Governor Budd
today to appeal t. the government engi-
eers having supervision of the Sacramento
river to close break or secure orders
from Washington to do SO, at point
near Elkhorn on the west side of the
river, ten miles above Sacramento. They
allege that there is a break there a
thousand feet wide, through which vast
volume of water pours into the Yolo
basin that is doing great injury. They
said as much water is now going through
at twenty-one feet as there did at twenty
five feet high some weeks ago; that this
is due to the formation of sandbar
below the break caused by the current
being checked by diversion through the
break; that the river has cut into its
natural bank and is still cutting deeper
and threatens to do SO until the low land
level is reached, when the tendency will
be for large part of the stream to sweep
into the basin permanently.
Governor Budd listened attentively and
interestedly and said he would address
the government engineers on the subject
after consultation with Congressman
Johnson upon the subject.
