have come to the front this season. The

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 11.-Alonzo
j Whiteman, the Duluth banker who
was recently sentenced to the peniten-
tiary FOR forgery, declares that he has
been sent to prison as the result of a
conspiracy between his sister and her
husband, a man named Gibbs. White
man declares that after the governor
of Michigan refused to issue extradi-
ton papers to send him TO California,
he went to Paris. From there he was
decoyed to New York by his sister and
her brother on representations that his
fathers estate was about to be set
tied and upon their promises to clear
him of debt. When he arrived in New
York he was arrested on the forgery
charge and Governor Morton turned
him over to the California officers.
Whiteman exhibits letters from his
mother, in which she refers to her
son-in-law Gibbs as a friend, and tells
of the efforts of Gibbs and her daugh-
ter to embarrass Whiteman. The
crime for which Whiteman was con-
victed was the forging of check for
$500 on a New York bank, using the
name of Frank Dixon. He claims that
Dixon wrote the check in good faith,
but did not have $500 on deposit in the
New York bank. Whiteman, who cut
quite a swath here socially, cashed
the check, and when the bank here
was informed that Dixon had no ac
count in New York they demanded
the return of the money from White
man. He was unable to pay it, and
the prosecution for forgery followed.

DRY IN NEW YORK.
Saloon Keepers Generally obey the
Law.

Saloon hCCDcTS WY
Law.
NEW YORK, Aug. u.-Many new
and interesting features IN the fight
of the saloon keepers against the po-
lice. which were promised for today,
did not materialize, and the day simply
fell in line with the other Sundays
which have interviewed since the re-
form police board took hold of the
municipal administration. 1t was
pretty dry day, but a shade pleas
anter for the thirsty who have learned
the scheme and secured drinks from an
parently closed saloon. For the stran-
ger and the uninitiated, the day was
as dry as any of the past half dozen
Sundays.
Few dealers took advantage of the
privilege of keeping their places open.
which has lately been decided to be
legal, provided liquors are not given
away or sold. The most notable in
stance was that of Steve Brodie, who
had no end of trouble in carrying on
charitable enterprise in his saloon.
Brodie was giving away lemonade and
taking a collection for a free ice fund
when the police arrested him for
breaking the Sabbath law, but he was
promptly discharged by Magistrate
Cornell. Afterward he was arrested
twice, but each time was released and
resumed business.

DoRGAN A BAD ,uN.

LINCOLN. Neb., Aug. 11.-Contractor
Dorgan has left the state prison for
good, taking with him his household
goods and personal property. His $685.
$3.50 warrant, however, still remains
in the hands of State Auditor Moore.
Dorgan secured the penitentiary con-
tract from Bank Wrecker Mosher when
that worthy went to the Sioux Falls
penitentiary for stealing S1,000,0 900 from
the Capital National bank. The state
purchased his interest, but his credit
ors purchased the warrant. The land
commissioner said the affairs at the
penitentiary were in good shape so far
as he knew. He seemed inclined to
comprehend the fact that from now on
the various officers would be obliged
to depend on the board of public lands
and buildings for the sinews of waf in
the line of food and clothing sun L IS.
This revives the old question of how
much, If any. Of the states appropria-
ton of $101, 900 for the two years can
be used in the maintenance of the
prison Warden Leidigh may possibly
solve the problem by making the in
stitution seif-supporting.

of Arid Lands ia Mexico.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. ia local
paper says a number of eastern capt.
talists are in this city at work on
scheme to reclaim the Colorado desert
by turning the waters of the Colorado
river over the vast territory. The COM
pany also has a grant of 10000 acres
in Mexico that it will irrigate. AS out
lined the plan comprehends the devel-
opment of the greatest irrigating sys-
tenn in the western hemisphere. AS an
indication of the good faith of the pro-
the Southern Pacific company a check
for $1,500,000, in return to its title to
the alternate sections of land in the
Salton basin. The land turned over
amounted to about 100000 acres.
Principally eastern capitalists are be
hind the scheme. John C. Beatty is
general manager OF the company.
Interested with Mr.. Beatty in the en-
terprise are such men as James Lin
ton and Henry A. Pierce, of Provi-
dence, R. l., and P. J. Mclean, of

BAD MR. SCOBEY.
He is Il BrOtber-in-Law of Attorney
General Harmon.

DENVER, Aug. 11.-Probably very
few friends of the family of Attorney
General Harmon are aware of the fact
that his brother-in-law, Charles Har-
rison Scobey, formerly of Denver and
now Of Cripple Creek, is accused of be-
ing a very cruel man. Mr.. Scobey is
a brother of the wife Of General Har-
mon, and his own wife, Nettie z. Sco-
bey makes this serious charge against
him, or, at least, she had made it in
divorce suit filed in the county court
Of May last.
Mr.. and Mrs. Scobey lived in Hamil-
ton, O., for a number of years after
their marriage and then came to Den
yer. Scobey, who was a druggist by
profession, started a store in the Ghost
block, at Fifteenth and Glenarm
streets, and the couple lived modestly
and prospered. They did not go much
into society and seemed to live for each
other. Finally a disagreement arose,
and wife and husband parted. At that
time they resided on fremont, near
Fifteenth. A suit for divorce followed.
and number of very sensational
charges were made by the wife.
Mr.. Scobey did not appear to defend
the suit, and his wife was given de-
cree. She told a very sensational story
of his alleged cruelty and won the
sympathy of the jury and the few
spectators who were in the courtroom.
She said that her husband had been in
the habit of calling her names. He fol-
lowed this by threatening to pull her
nose and slap her face. On one occa-
sion. after a lengthy quarrel, he told
her that he hoped she would suffer the
tormentS of hell.
She seldom was allowed to go out
of her husbands sight, she said, and
he made her each morning visit him
at his store. In order to occupy her
time, he made her clean out the store.
She was compelled to dust and sweep,
and to make matters worse. she says,
he was not so busy that he could not
do this work himself She had to at
tend to household duties in addition to
this. and she did not like it. He had
another method of annoying her, she
declared, which consisted of making
faces at her and getting angry over
the most trivial causes. There was no
other witness, and the wife was
granted a divorce and given the right
to assume her maiden name, Nettie J.
Reed.
Mr. Scobey, in the meantime, has sold
his drug store and recently left for
Cripple Creek. where he is now. en-
gagged in the drug business. His form
er wife still lives in this city.

An Event of Great Importance Mt
Havana.
HAVANA, Aug. 11.-Early this NOR
ming immense crowds began to invade
the Parque de la Unique, TO be present
at the review of the 1,5OO Havana vol
unteers which were going into the
field. The city was gaily decorated
and thousands of ladies were on the
streets and on the balconies overlook
ing the route of the parade. At s
o'clock Captain General Martinez de
Campos arrived at the park accom-
panied by his staff, General Arderius,
the governor, and his secretary, Calvo
Munez, and preceded the volunteers.
This is the first appearance of Marshal
Campos in public since the battle of
Peralejo, the name by which the battle
between Manzanillo and Bayamo. of
July 18th, in which General Santo-
cildes was killed, has come to be
called Marshal Campos is an enemy
of personal demonstrations. Never
theless he was received by all the
colonies and officers of the volunteers,
while fifteen bands played a grand
march. The police were not able to
restrain the crowds from rushing over
the troop barriers to greet the general
cheering Spain and shouting acclama-
tions for the conquerer of Peralejo.
The enthusiasm was indescribable and
General Campos was never received
with a more kindly demonstration by
the people. After he had reviewed the
volunteers, General Campos with great
emotion delivered a patriotic speech.
He said the volunteers were going to
protect the plantations and property
which were threatened with burning
by a mob, whose only motto is de-
struction, when they ought to be, as ma
tive Cubans, the first to defend the
property. The volunteers left immedi-
ately for Villar.

troops and artillery, left Bayamo to
