Serious Charges Against
the Ex Governor of
Washington.
While a Sheriff He Neglected
to Account for Certain
Amounts.
Admits the Discrepancy, but Says
the County Shall Not Lose
Oae C.n

SEATTLE, WASH, March 20.-Expert
accountants maxim an investigation OF
the books of ex-county officials have
found that Ex-Governor John II. McGraw,
as Sheriff (second term) of King County,
is short in his accounts from $4,000 to
$4,000. Amounts were collected on ac-
count OF personal taxes but never turned
into the treasury. The sums range from
$1,000 $1,000.
While the statute of Limitation as re.
CARDS both civil and criminal prosecu-
tions has run, Mr.. McGraw says the county
shall not lose cent. He practically ad-
mits that he is behind in his accounts in
substantially the sum named, but says
that he neither embezzled nor stole a
cent. When he retired from the shirley
atty he believed his accounts to have been
absolutely correct.
Owing to the social, political and bust.
ness prominence OF the accused the affair
has created great sensation, particularly
SO as the expose follows closely upon the
arrestof ex-County Com missioner Heaton,
Deputy Auditor Smith and subordinate
officials. McGraw has been in public life
for nearly twenty years, having but few
weeks ago retired from the chief magis
tracy of the State. He was also an aspfr-
ant for United States Senatorial honors.
His integrity was never before questioned.

PORTLAND W0MAH'S PLIGHT.
Swallows Section of Her False Teeth
and Passes Under the Sur
0eon's Knife

PORTLAND, Or, March 20.-About
three weeks ago Mrs. William j. Patton Of
this city broke rubber plate of a set OF
false teeth. Not long afterward, and before
she had had time to have the plate re-
paired, she had occasion to make call,
and under to wear the broken plate.
After adjusting the pieces and placing
the m in position, sne was constrained to
yawn, at the same time involuntar
placing her hand over her mouth. Un-
fortunately she pressed her fingers against
her teeth, detaching half of the broken
plate, and, as her mouth was wide open
and her head thrown back, the piece Of
plate and the teeth attached went down
her throat.
Mrs. Patton made desperate effort to
catch it or eject il, but it lad slipped out
OF her reach or control. and passed in TO
the stomach. In day or two the plate
began to trouble her, causing her great
pain and suffering. She was unable to
eat, and her sufferings increased, until it
was seen that heroic measures must be
taken if her life was to be saved.
A decision was reached at consultation
of physicians to open the stomach and re-
cessfuIiy performed, but to the astonish-
ment of all concerned no trace of the
plate or teeth could be found. Some claim
that the rubber plate was digested or
broken up in the stomach, but this theory
is as improbable as the other. The most
satisfactory feature of the case Is that Mrs.
Patton has been rapidly improving sever
since the operation was performed and
will soon be out.

ior's Session
REDWOOD CITY, CAL. March 2o.-An
enthusiastic meeting OF Redwood Parlor
No. &C, Native sons OF .he Golden West,
was held in Native Sons Hall last night.
The immediate cause of the general out
pouring OF members WAS the fact that
delegates were to be elected to represent
the parlor at the meeting OF the Grand
Parlor in this city the latter part OF April.
Another reason was that the various COM
mittees appointed by the parlor to ar
range for the Grand Parlor celebration
were 10 report on their progress, and
third reason was that the parlor had MADE
preparations for banquet to follow the
business session.
The ways and means committee as.
snred the parlor that sufficient funds were
already subscribed TO make the meeting
perfect success. They had plan on loot
by which they hoped 10 have eracted De-
fore April 26 a large pavilion. Although
the city has two halls neither is sufh-
ciently large 10 accommodate Inc crowo
expected tosbe present at the grand ball,
which will be one of the features OF the
Grand Parlor session. In cooperation with
the city officials the committee has about
completed negotiations by which the old
school gymnasium will be enlarged to
double its present size, thereby making
hall 100 feet square.
The committee on accommodations re-
ported that it had engaged the await
able hotel room and had engaged sufficient
private accommodations to provide for any
mum ber that would reasonably be ex-
pecied to be present.
The decoration committee outlined q
number of plans and offered numerous
suggestions Tor decorating the city. 1t has
asked for bids from a number of San
Francisco houses for doing the work. 1t
is the committees intention to beaulify
the city beyond all former attempts in
that line.
After the parlor adjourned tables were
spread ana the members INDUCED in a
good time.

Stofen's Story of the Treasury

SANTA ROSA, CAL, March 20.-Pnblic
interest over the sensational robbery OF
the county treasury here some years ago
was revived to-day by the affidavit OF
George E. Peery. Mr. Peery now comes
forward and swears he saw man carry
ing a va!ise emerge from the Treasurer's
office just at the time at which Captain
Stolen claims to have been robbed.
1t will be remem bered that the Treas
urer was found locked in the big vault,
from which 5000 in gold was missing.
late one afternoon in October, 1898 The
Treasurer's bondsmen were sued and
iu gment entered against them. The affi-
davlt of to-day was made for the purpose
OF obtaining new trial. George e. Peery,
who makes the affidavit. was then en-
ployed in the courthouse. He says he
told numb Der of people of having seen
the suspicious man with the valise COM
ing from the 1reasurer's Office. Mr.. Peery
bears good reputation and his evidence
in the event of new trial is apt to put a
new phase on the case.
