THAT CLEVER FORGERY,
Bankers Believe It Is the Most
Skillful Ever Done
Here.
Captain Lees Has a Theory as to How
and When Forger Dean Left
the City.

The allabsorbing topic of conversation
in banking circles Yesterday was the clever
forgery of A H. Dean on the Nevada
est piece of work Of the kind ever done in
this City.
Captain Lees is not of the same opinion.
He said last night that the same kind of
work done by professionals in June 1898.
was cleaner and better than the work of
Dean, and in his opinion could not be
surpassed. At that time two checks were
raised from $3S to $500, ami from 500 to
$6500
81 have nothing new to give for publica-
ton, said the captain. Il have been
working on the case all dav picking up
odds and ends and piecing them together
to see if l could discover the identity of
the forger. Everything that could posi-
bly, interest the public has been published
and what information | have since re-
ceived would be OF no interest to the
public.
The captain made an investigation as to
the statement OF the office boy. Wiley G.
Lyle that Dean drove to either 1929 or
1929 Valencia street, where he said he
resided. This is in the neigh borhood of
the Southern Pacific depot at Twenty
and Valencia streets, and the captain is
satisfied that Deans telling the boy that
he lived on Valencia street was a ruse
Dean had, no doubt" said the captain,
''taken the train to San Jose. From there
he would take the narrow-gauge to Niles
and from Niles he would go to Lathrop.
where he would catch the overland train.
THAT occurred to me when the bow
made his statement, and I wished simply
TO satisfy myself on the point yesterday"

SPORTSMEN IN SESSION
An Association That Will Es
tablish Branches in the
Country.
Federal Authorities Refuse to Investi
gate Distractions to Navigation
in Sloughs.

The Sportsmen's Protective Association
held large and enthusiastic meeting last
night at X. of r. B. Hall, corner of Mason
and O'Farrell streets.
Thomas Casey of this City and G. w.
Dennis of Alameda. who had been APP
pointed a committee at a recent meeting
of the association to investigate the mat
ter of biockading naviga bic sloughs by GER
tain clubs that have leased preserves in
Solano and Sonoma counties, reported
that they had conferred with some of the
Federal authorities on the subject of OBJ
structions TO navigation, but received very
little encouragement.
Mr. Casey said that the sloughs now
blockaded in the Suisun marshes are I'M
questionably navigable, and that he had
satisfied himself on that score last Sunday
by measurements taken in the presence of
witnesses of the depth of the waterways in
question at high and low water
A committee OF five mem bers, namely
T. Casey, f. Staples, r. Boyer. g. W.
Dennis and II. Battee, was appointed by
the chair to confer to-day with an attorney
with the view OF prosecuting the clubs
through whose intercession those sloughs
or waterways in question were blockaded,
thereby causing an obstruction to legitl-
mate navigation.
The association, at the request of some
of the mem pers, decided to engage the SER
wees of an attorney to defend the sports
men who have been enjoined by the Ibis
Preserve Club from shooting upon its
OVERLOOKED lands in the Suisun marshes.
The sportsmen of Soiano County have en-
gagged legal talent to defend the alleged
poachers from Vallejo, Benicia, Suisun,
ETC., who have been also enjoined.
a, committee of five was appointed to
visit the principal towns of Solano and
Contra Costa counties for the purpose of
| organizing annex clubs to the associa Jon,
which requires assistance from the sports
men of the country, who are being yearly
deprived of pastime they so dearly love
by wealthy shooting clubs.
committee on printing, oiatorv, ETC.,
and composed of Messrs. Dennis, Butler,
Fitzsimmons, McRae and Snyder, was
also appointed by the president, which will
report progress at a special meeting of the
association which will be held in the same
building on the evening of the 22d inst.

JUDGE Y. D. JONES.

The appropriate column of the
 GRAPnIc contains the announcement
 ofJudge W. D. Jones as a candidate
 for reelection as County and Pro
 bate Judge of Jefferson county.
 Judge jones IS now serving Ii his sec
 ond term in that capacity, and at the earnest solicitation of his many friends, has consented to stand for reelection. When Judge Jones took charge of. the affairs of the county, county scrip was worth only about 65 cents, while today it readily brings 9S cents in the mar ket. While under his economical management county scrip has been brought up practically to par, he has also inaugurated a number of substantial and lasting improve ments. Under his administration much permanent work has been done upon theS public bridges and highways; the County Exposition has been erected and fitted up with an exhibit of the varied re- sources of the county, the Court house grounds have been beautified md improved; new and substan- bial countv iail has haan huildad and many other improvements have been made of substantial character. His administration has been thoroughly udicious and economical, and SO guarded has he been in his allow 'nces and public expenditures that le has well earned the cognomen of 'the watch dog of the county treas 1 ny"

HoN J. L. WADLEY, author of the bill passed by the last Legislature legalizing primary elections, com ments on the bill in the Hot Springs Necs as follows:
 There seems to be some confusion of ideas in certain parts of the State as to how the expenses of the legal ized primary elections are to be provided and as to whether the county election commissioners have control of them. There should be none. Legalized primaries are left as completely under the manage ment of the party central committees as though held before the primary law was passed. The central com mittee fixes the time, defrays the expenses by the usual way of assess ing candidates, appoints judges and clerks, manages the election, re- ceiyes the returns and declares the result. The county election com missioners have no authority what ever in the matter.

CONGRESSMAN LITTLE, of this dis trict, has introduced a bill in the House to prevent the sale of liquors in the Capitol Building at Washing ton. We have not the remotest idea that the bill will ever pass this Republican Congress, nevertheless 1t will serve to call attention to the fact that a saloon is conducted in the basemento of the National Capitol which will arouse the temperance element against it and ultimately end in it's abolishment. Mr. Little's remarks in favor of the passage of his bill were strong and vigorous, and will meet with the indorsement of the temperance people of the country, That Q saloon and tippling room can exist under the vers floor of the House is but little short of National disgrace, and it should be totally abolished.

FRANK B. FLANDERS.

By reference to the regular column the announcement of Mr. Frank B. Flanders as a candidate for re-elec- tion as County and Probate Clerk will be found therein Mir. Elan ders has served his first term as County Clerk and has given such satisfaction that it is not thought that he will have any opposition.
 He has served four years as a Dep uty Clerk, and two years as County Clerk, and has at all times been thor oughly efficient in every respect. He is courteous and obliging, and, in consequence, is justly popular throughout the county, and his re election does not admit of 8 reason able doubt.
 During the past year Mr. Elan ders has been in very bad health, and is at present at Hot Springs, but reports from there state that he has not been benefited by his trip and he is expected home in a few days. In consequence of his i'll health, therefore, Mr. Flanders will not be able to make 8 canvass of the county for reelection, but he is well-known among the people and has made one of the best clerks the county has ever had, and a canvass of the county on his part ought not to be required.
 During his illness the affairs of the County Clerks office have been properly attended to by his efficient deputy, Mr L. T. Sallee, and the county's interests have not been to suffer.
 Mir. Flanders is iii every way de serving of reelection and we trust that he will not have opposition.

gressive cities and countries. Flee tricity is the great motor power of the age, and any street car system to be profitable in the United States must be strictly up to date
 If the new owners of the street railway would put in an electric plant and furnish day c1rent to private individuals for the purpose of propelling machinery, electric fans, etc, they would find this Q profitable source ofrevenue. There are number of establishments in this city at pre- sent using steam power that would gladly change to electric power if they were given the opportunity to do so.
 This source of revenue, added to the increased patronage that would naturally come to an electric rail- way, in consequence of quick and rapid transit, would, we believe, make an electric street railway a profitable investment in this city.
 If the new deal results in an cleo tric street car system, our people will hail the change with delight.

THE telephone monopoly which has been charging $5 and $2 30 per month for phones for the last five or six years is very anxious now to give the Pine Bluff public the same service for $2 and $1 per month. The cause of this cut is the organi- zation of q local telephone company iii this city which has entered into contract to furnish phones for the next three years at $2.50 and $2 per month, and which the monop- oly now seeks to drive out. Verify, how q monopoly does deslise compe- tition.

THE .STREET CAR DEAL

It is the earnest wish of the peo-
 pie of Pine Bluff that the new pur-
 chasets of the Pine Bluff street ear
 line will convert it into an electric
 system. This will no doubt be the
 policy Of the new purchasers, for
 the situation has practically re- solved itself into condition where
 the owners of the street railway are either forced to convert it into an electric line or abandon their char
 ter. In fact the city has already entered suit against tii,e street es.i company to show cause why it's charter should not be forfeited, and fl this suit was pushed to eonclu- sion, there is hardly a doubt but that it would go against the com pany. The new purchasers, who are understood to represent the bond holders, will find that it is utterly impracticable to restore the railway to profitable basis without chang ing it to an electric line. The pub- lie in this progressive day want quick and rapid transit, and they will be satisfied with nothing less. The horse car is thing of the past l and must be abandoned in all pro.
