FEMALE SWINDLER
MUCH WANTED BY NEW YORK
POLICE
If She Has Kept Her Ill Gotten Gains
She Can Fee the Lawyers
Literally

NEW YORK, July 1s.-After eluding
the notice Of the metropolitan force for
more than six years. Ellen Peck. the
confidence woman. now nearly 70 years
Of age, Is wanted again. Her victims
this time are several residents of Brook
lyn, whom she is charged with swindling
out of sums aggregating $4,000. More
specifically, she is wanted for defraud-
ing the late DR.. Christopher Lott Of $780,
000 an amount which represented near
ly all Of his savings, and the loss Of
which Is believed by his friends to have
contributed largely to his death, which
occurred on May 10th. For this Ellen
Peck, under the name of Mary Hansen,
has been indicted for felony by the grand
jury of Kings county. Her alleged
daughter and son-in-law, William Simp
son, have, in the same connection, been
indicted for completely, arrested and re-
leased on bonds. Mrs Peck has not
ben found.
Mrs. Hansen became acquainted with
DR.. Lott in 1894, while he was profess
sionally attending the Simpsons, with
whom she resided. She soon ingratiated
herself into the good will and confidence
of the doctor and his wife. She repre-
sented herself to be the widow Of Ad-
miral Johann Carl Hansen Of the Danish
navy. According to Mrs. Hansen his
fortune, amounting to many millions,
had been placed in the keeping of the
United States government, certain con-
ditions making 1t unpleasant for the
owner Of this vast fortune to retain
the money In Denmark. Mrs. Hansen
made 1t appear to the doctor that GER
tain difficulties had arisen which pre-
vented the withdrawal Of the money
from the United States treasury, and
by talking glibly of visits to Washing
ton and of interviews with Secretary
Carlisle and Deputy Assistant Treas
urer Jordan, she enlisted the Doctors
sympathy so that one day she asked
for a. temporary loan Of $3.50. 1t was
readily granted.
She also secured loan of $500 from
Mrs. Mary Shea, a trained nurse, who
had been recommended to the family by
DR.. Lott. Mrs Hansen continued to
borrow various sums from DR.. Lott CIV
ing her personal note in RETURN DR..
Lott finally became suspicious and he
thought the security given was INSULT
cient, notwithstanding the fact that Mr.
Sinrson, who claimed to be relative of
the famous pawnbroker, had Endorsed
several notes. When Mrs. Hansen had
secured nearly $4,000, DR.. Lott made an
urgent demand for a settlement, but
before he could take any legal action in
the matter he became i'll and died.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of the district attorney and the
indictments followed, but the whole case
has been quiet until today when pub
lie statement was issued

MANY PEOPLE ARE ALREADY
HOMELESS
The Red Bluff Region Suffers Serious
Damage-A Strong Wind
Fans the Flames
Associated Press Special Wire.


RED BLUFF, July 1s.-Field fires,
which have been raging for two days
In the dry ranges few miles north of
this city, totally cleared everything up
to within a few miles of here, and owing
to the east wind have turned their course
to the west and have left clear waste
to the Blossom ranch, on which place
they are now burning. All the cattle
people for a radius of many miles are
homeless. The fire is heading south and
is now within mile of the Blossom res
idersce, which, If 1t reaches it, will allow
it to spread to the southern part of the
county, and there will be no chance of
saving the standing grain crops in that
section. Hundreds of people are fight
ing the fire, and many have left from
here tonight Among the principal res
licences burned are those of c. Smith, l..
Wright, G. Nelson, N. Shoemaker w.
Johnson, and number of cattlemer' 8
cabiris. The total loss UP to the present
time is over 100000.
Walnut Creek-Mountain fires have
ablo and Pine Canyon, and the Noun
tain house is in great danger of destruc-
ton. Thus far miles of pasture land and
fence have been laid in ashes. There Is
a northwest wind blowing and the fire
coming southwest The farmers in the
vicinity of Alamo, Danville and San Ra-
mon are excited, as thousands of tons OF
hay are in the fields.
Sonoma-A forest fire Is raging in
the hills near the town of Kenwood. The
smoke is so dense near that place that
the sun Is clouded and the atmosphere
very sultry The fire is burning over a
large area, doing much damage In Its
path and a number of farms are in dan
ger. Many men have gone to stay its
progress If possible.
Sacramento-Today a fire started in
grass or stubble field near Antelope, fif-
teen miles north of here, and issaid to
have swept across the country to the
American river No advices have been
received as to the extent of the damage.
but it is thought to have been great.
The fire was east of the Rancho del Paso.
