story OF how James Carlin. claiming 10

people began to go. of the boat. and
said to the conductor: Can't you stop
sweeping long enough to take my fare?'
That's all right pop he said, we never
take fare for the first trip. We give you
that free Now, while l think it's q, down

conductor could know 1t was my first trip.
Didn't you walk through a narrow
place, where man was sitting in a little
Office and didn't you buy a ticket and give

This is the first consignment Of supplies
from Seattle for government use at Homo

ing wedge to what will prove big bust
ness. Seattle was brought into favorable
notice from the government as a supply
point last winter. when the various Alaska
expeditions were being fitted up. The
troops all sailed from this port, and while
the big contracts were let by the quarter
master at Vancouver. many articles were
purchased here under the direction OF Capt.
Robinson.
for the barracks at Honolulu came through
Maj. George Ruhlen, quartermaster at
Honolulu. who served last winter and
spring at Dyea and other points in Alaska
and who spent several days in Seattle on
his return. Maj Ruhlen requested of the
war department that the nrst consignment
of the lumber be purchased IN Seattle, be-
1ieving. of course, that this was the most
advantageous point for securing such sup
plies.
Capt. Robinson advertised for bids in the
regulation manner, and yesterday they
were opened. The contract was awarded
to the Stimson Min Company. The con-
tract amounts to approximately $500.
Capt. Robinson said last night: Of

LICENSE REVOKED.
Village Council of Royalt0n
Disciplined an Unruly
Saloonkeeper.

That the village council Of Roy alton
is determined that the saloon-keepers
of that placeshall live up to the law.
is evidenced by the action taken.
At an adjourned session Wednesday
evening In tho matter of the charge
against Nick Rassier, for keeping his
place open on Sunday came up. Ras-
sier was arrested Monday on Il charge
of selling liquor on Sunday, and his
trial:was had before a jury on that day
Although the evidence against him
was conclusive the jury failed to
agree, one man out of eleven holding
out for acquital.
The villege cOunci, did not intend
to drop the matter there, and sent
for County Attorney Lyon yester-
day. Lyon went down, supposing
that retrial Of the case was to be
had, but found when he got there
the council had taken more heroic
measures in it's dealings with Rassier.
Rassier had been notified to appear
at the meeting Of the council and
show cause why his license should
not be revoked. Rassler was repres-
ented by Samuel Trebby and al
though Kaseier offered to pay all
costs in the case to settle the matter
the council revoked his license. A
number Of citizens. including Rev.
were present at the
meeting and expressed their opinions
in favor of re soking the license.
Attorney Blanchard was at Royal
ton when the case came up !ester-
day and was retained as council by
Rassier. Rassier will no doubt con-
test the ction of the council, and
the first step taken will be
tu ask the court for an order re-
the village council from en-
forcing the order revoking the
license.
1t is said that liassier has been
persistent in keeping his place open
on Sunday and is therefore not in
line for much sympathy from the
council or citizens of Royalton.

A SMOOTH SHARPER
Promptly Resumes Business When
Released From Prison

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Feb. 15.-The
Bee tonight will publish the story of one
Of the smoothest confidence tricks that
has been worked in this county in many
a day.
About nine years ago a young politi-
clan named F. G. Edwards was sent to
the Folsom penitentiary for forgery.
He was pleasant hammered and an ex-
cellent penman, and Warden Aull, few
years ago, gave him the position of con-
fidential clerk, in which capacity he
opened and read all letters to convicts.
In this way he became acquainted with
the circumstances of the prisoners and
attained familiarity with the handwrit-
ing of their friends. Among the con-
victs in Folsom is man named Taylor,
who is serving a life sentence for mur-
der committed in Jackson, Amador
county. Taylor has son, Lorin Taylor,
county, and brother, who is District
Judge in Indiana.
Edwards term expired few days ago,
and just prior to leaving the prison he
wrote letter to Lorin Taylor, at Gait,
initiating the elder Taylor's handwrit-
ing. The letter stated that the writer
WAS III TecelpI Ol u ietteT ITOIn MS
brother, the Indiana Judge, saying that
a wealthy neighbor was en- route to CAL
ifornia to secure pardon and that he
would be in Gait at a certain time.
Lorin Taylor made everything ready
to receive the wealthy Indianan, and
when Edwards put in an appearance,
armed with forged credentials from
Judge Taylor, Governor Budd and the
State Supreme Judges, he was received
with open arms. Edwards talked flu
emily of Indiana relatives, showing great
familiarity with them; told Taylor that
his fathers pardon was ensured, and
secured $50 from young Taylor as tenn
porary loan.
Mrs. Taylor's suspicious were aroused
from some insulting remark Edwards
made to her and she boarded the train
to Folsom, where her father-in-law told
her he had written no letter and where
Warden Aull showed her the picture of
Edwards, which she recognized at once
as the alleged rich Indianan. The alarm
was given but Edwards had disappeared
and all efforts to locate him have SO far
proved unavailing.
