with passing bogus checks. The police
say that this is not Hageman's first
offsnse. he having been arrested year
ago for burglary and the theft Of lot of
jswelry from Miss Ida Bennett, who
lives on Chestnut street, Chicago. This
scrape, it lie alleged, was hushed up by
the young mans relatives. At that time
1t was thought that he was ALEC wanted
in Fort Worth. Texas, for passing bogus
and forged checks. Telegrama were
aent to the chief OF police there and it
was learned that all his difficulties In
that place had been settled by his
father.
In several other cities it is said young
Hageman has committed felonies of
various kinds, and that his father he's
spent Thousands of dollars in trying to
keep him out OF the nitsatiary. He
ia now charged with passing bogus
checks. r. s. Stephsns OF 3054 Calu-

found they were worthless and reported
the matter to tine poles.

Stephens diamond he went TO the Illi~
nois Central depot aud took q train for
New Orleans. Before leaving the depot.
however, it was said he picked up a
valiee which belonged to an English
woman and checked it to hie destina-
ton. This was what led to his detec-
ton. Arriving at New Orleans, Hage-
man demanded the baggage, which had
been stopped by the real owner at Chi-
cago, and on being promised Gettle-
ment by the railroad for $500 worth OF
valuables he swors 1t contained, was de.
coyed back to Chicago and locked up.
When informed that he was under ar
rest the young man drew revolver and
attempted to kill himself. He was pre-
vented by an officer, who seized his arm
and knocked the weapon from his hand.
The young man begged for his release
and the return of his revolver. He said
that he would rather die than be arrested
again and have his father know about
il. His father is 4 capitalist and lives

among the stockholders.
An ordinance will be introduced in
the city council asking for permission to
build lines on many South Side and
West Sids streets. New roads will
parallel many South Side cable and
electric lines. Trolleys will be placed
underground and thoroughly insulated
from the earth and carry conductive
material. There are supply and return
conductors in the circuit, which are the
means of large saving in cost OF opera

or leakage of the current as in tbs case
of the overhead systems, which are

SAN Francisco, Jan. %. --Advicee re-
ceived by the Associated Press from va
rious points throughout California and
other western states indicate that the
storm which has been raging for the past
few days is the most severe experienced
for the past five years.
Reports to the weather observer. from
Red Bluff, say that the Sacramento
river at Red Bluff is entirely out OF its
banks on the east side, and that great
extent of country 10 under water. Great
damage 20 property ia anticipated unless
the food recedes tonight.
At Realdsburg. CAL, the rain has
been falling in torrents for the past 48
hours. The Russian river is higher than
ever before known, and has washed
away che ebutments of the railroad
bridge, causing ell railroad traffic TO
ceeae.
At Cloverdale the same condition OF
atfairs exist. and all the bridges aorosa
the Russian river are impossible. The
city water works are ruined.
From Santa Rosa comes the informa-
ton that slmost tho entire surrounding
country is under water. A small town
named Gurneville, few miles away, has
practically been abandoned. The sight
OF women and children plodding through
a driving rain seeking shelter is COM
mon one. Occidental and Sebastopol,
two neighboring villages, are cut off
from the rest OF the world by high
water.
Monterey experienced slight clear.
ing up in the morning, but at noon the
storm began more severely than ever.
Communication from all points down
the coast has bsen cut off. The Carmel
river overlooked its banks at many
points and is filled with debris from
farms and dwellings further up the
river. The outlook is a continuation OF
the atorm.
At Woodland the storm continued all
day. All streams in Yolo county have
overlooked their banks in many places.
AID the damage to the railroads and
bridges has been very heavy. Railroad
travel has been completely stopped.
The railroad company will tonight
send from Oakland o force of 100 men
with hydraulic pumps and other ap
planes to sluioe out the snow that now
dams up the canon in the vicinity OF
Castle Craig near Dunsmuir. Monitors

OMAHA, Nsb., Jan. 22.-The Nebraska
relief commission is to DO investigated.
The legislature today appointed Q oom.
mittee to investigate the work OF reliev-
ing the states destitute. 1t is alleged
that numerous carloads OF food and cloth-
ing contributed by other states are
standing on railroad tracks in various
parts of the state awaiting tho pay ment
of freight charges. The commission
is too poorly organized to look after
great work, and that in addition the
railroads are holding back cars Of food
and fuel until the appropriation Of the

to pay freight.
