ARREST OF BROKER FOX.
Is Charged With Using Up an
Old Nevada Couples
Savings.
Their Money. He Explains, Went
Into Very Unfortunate Stock
Venture.

A little old Nevada couple, Robert Hol-
land and his wife Bridget, came to this
City day or so ago from their farm near
Columbia Hill to see what they could have
done toward Henry L. Fox, stockbro
doing business at 31S Pine street, whom
they accuse of swindling them out of $4,000
altogether.
They consulted Attorney John T. Dare,
with the result that Fox was arrested yes
terday by Police Officer Tannian on war
rant issued by Police Judge Joachimsen,
and he was locked up at the California
street station, his bail being fixed at $4,000.
Robert Holland is Woodworking man,
the major portion of whose seventy seven
years have been devoted to plodding toll
for family of six children, his wife care
fully saving up the dollars until they
might profitably invest in something.
n low their six children are all married and
the father and mother are left alone in
their declining years with their money all
gone.
The particular charge they brought
against Fox is felony ENLIGHTENMENT. Mrs.
Holland being the complaining witness.
According to her story she let Fox have
$1,000 on December 7, 1888, with which to
buy ten shares of Spring Valley Water
stock, allowing him to speculate to advan-
tage if he could and to sell when the stock
went up to good figure. About every
month for while she would receive let
ter from Fox with an Enclosure of S. as
dividends" but after time these remit
tances dropped off, and then she began to
investigate through her Nevada counsel.
She was finally informed that her name
was not on the stock books Of the Spring
Valley Water COMPANY at ALL
Previous to entrusting Fox with this
$1,000. she said, she let him have $1,000 to
speculate with in Spring Valley. He did
buy some shares with that, so she believes,
and when the stock reached $104 he sold

OFF FOR JAPAN.
The American Congregationalists Will
Go to the Orient to Investi-
cate

When the American board of commits
sioners for foreign missions return from
the land where the birds never sing and
the flowers have no perfume, the American
people will then know whether or not the
much-abused missionary lives in the best
houses in Japan and draws a high salary
for doing nothing.
The board, now at the Occidental Hotel,
consists of James Gibson Johnson, min
lister of the New England Congregational
Church at Chicago; DR.. A. I'll. Bradford of
Montclair, n. j., associated as one of the
editors of the Outlook with Lyman Abbott
and Hamilton w. Mabie; w. P. Ellison of
Boston and DR.. James l.. Barton, also of
Boston. They will also investigate the
claim that Japanese ministers are now
able to take up and conclude the work be-
gun by the Christians.
1t is stated on good authority. however,
ever, that the Government of Japan has
discovered that the Congregationalists own
too much property in the country and that
it is all in the names of Japs who are
faithful to the church. They object to
alien landholders, hence the trouble.
