FORGERY HIS BUSINESS
John w. Barnes Criminal Methods
for Raising the Wind

The business of passing fictitious or
| forged checks has brought j. N. Barnes,
a young Englishman, to grief. He was
arraigned yesterday before Justice Nor
rison on three specific charges of forg-
cry, his manner of operating hav-
| ing invariably been that of passing his
handwork over the counter of saloon
and spending a small amount of the
money so obtained in the place. Barnes
himself has been barkeeper and has
led pretty gay life whenever he could
raise the needful.
In the police court yesterday he ap-
peared, unrepresented by counsel, and
his chances for trip to the state prison
appear more than ordinarily good The
three charges against him are that he
passed on j. X. Miller a check for SIS. so,
purporting to be signed by one W. S.
Leigh, who has no existence, and made
payable to NJ. w. Colt, another fictitious
person, at the Arcade saloon. on Decem-
Der 18TH The second of the exploits laid
at his door was the passing of a check
for $50 drawn to the order of one O. f.
Potter and subscribed F. C. Carriers
upon c. Rottman of 421 South Main
street. and getting the money. Lastly
on the 18th of the present month the
prisoner buncoed b. G. Hyden and C. w.
Merry out of $500 by similar check,
which purported to be signed by r. L.
Stanton and made payable to l.. f. Gray.
1t is said that there are other cases of
forgery to be brought against Barnes

above mentioned will take place tomor-
row at 1890.

point has been reached. 1t proposes to
begin at present only the most needed
and important trades buildings and to
add the others from time to time.
The board is also considering many
other plans for the future improvement
of the institution. Some of these may
have to wait legislative sanction, as
they affect the character of the school,
and it is felt that it's scope in some re-
spects should be changed and enlarged
Work on the buildings will be begun as
soon as the plans are approved by the
state building board.
The buildings are to be of a size and
character to accommodate the different
shops and departments and their cost
is as follows:

nodate the present electric light
plant, engine and boilers ............$ 1900

ling was hustled back to Jail. where ne
has now, on one charge or another, oc-
cupied an uncomfortable cell for more
than a month. His means seem to nave
given out completely, as no attorney ap-
peared to defend him.
In the afternoon Mr.. Mulhausen, I'M
der the name of William Schilling, was
tried by Judge Morrison on the charge
of misdemeanor embeZZlement, alleged
to have been committed by him to the
detriment of Mrs. Matte Haraden, the
proprietor of the Berlin lodging house,
on December 7th. The defendants at
torneys sent word that they positively
refused to further represent him, ana
Schilling did his own cross-examining,
which consisted mostly of arguing and
|disputng with the witnesses and the
attorneys for the prosecution.
Mrs Haraden told how the prisoner
had obtained possession of diamond
ring worth some twenty-five dollars
from her for the purpose of having the
setting changed, and that was the last
the San Bernardino jeweler to whom
Schilling had swapped it for watch.
The complaining witness was corrobor-
ated by another young lady who was
present at the time.
The irrepressible Schilling took the
witness chair and told how Mrs. Har-
aden had taken advantage of his inno-
cence and unsophisticated state of mind
to make love to him and-alack and alas!
he confessed it with shame, he had sue
cumbed. This new version of the man
who loved not wisely but too well con-
vulsed the audience, whom Mr.. Schil-

into temptation. OF course, the crafty
vagabond knew nothing about getting
the ring reset. He never knows any
thing about the subject matter of any
accusation brought against him, and his
portrayal of injured innocence was done
to a turn.
The case will be concluded this fore
noon. the absence of witness for the
defense making this necessary.

large salaries and extra maintenance.
Since July, 1896, those in charge have
felt the necessity for modern trades and
other buildings and additional improve

the accomplishment of the real purposes
and aims of the institution was retarded
and hampered by lack of these facilities.

Something entirely new in the way
of dining and breakfast heating trays
are now IN sale in London, being de-
signed to meet the breakfast or after
noon tea requirements. The idea is
to keep the viands and vessels In
which they are served up hot for many
hours. The heat is derived from
blocks of a material furnished with
the outfit, these being heated in an or
binary stove and then slowed away in
a drawer in the bottom of the tray,
radiating their heat for many hours.
The tray also contains a white
enameled pan, designed to receive the
mullins and toast, so that the tardy
b~reakfaster may be served with extra
hot mullins and toast. These trays
are handsomely got up, with repousse
silver-plated top and wrought-iror
stand, so that one makes a decidedly
decorative adornment for the table
The ideal feature of the arrangement
is that. once started, no further atten.

A Wonderful Surgical Operation.
One of the most wonderful surgical
operations known to science has been
performed upon a San Francisco man.
1t consists in the coiling Of Is yards
OF silver wire about the size Of a hypo-
dermic needle within the aorta, the
great artery leading direct from the
heart. Three or four months ago,
from the result of an injury. there
arose very grave danger of q rupture
OF h aorta,- which, Of course, meal
instant death. The physicians, there
fore, coiled this wire within a distend-
ed portion Of the great artery, in or
der to partly fill it and form a clot
that would, 1t vas hoped, contract the
channel to it's normal size. Having
been in place for this length Of time.
the physicians entertain strong hopes
that the desired result will be secured.
When the peculiar construction and
functions of the aorta are taken into
consideration, it will be seen that this
experiment was Il OF the boldest
strokes in medical history: II 1t
proves a complete success, a most sig
nal triumph in the treatment OF ar
terial troubles has been achieved.

At intervals the subject Of gold in
sea water comes up, and there are new
inventions in the way of processes for
separating the gold from the water. 1t
is estimated that three barrels of wat
er contain from two to four cents
worth of gold. 1t would seem like an
easy matter to pump up the brine and
put 1t through the necessary chemical
process, but such chemicals are ex-
pensive, and the appliances for using
them are sometimes still more costly.
While it is admitted that the -Klon-
dixie is of little value as a gold deposit
when compared to the ocean, scientists
are forced to acknowledge that the
Klondike, with all it's obstacles, Is
much more easily worked than the
sea. Some one who claims to have
figured on this subject declares that
the ocean holds a sinking fund valued
at something like seventy-five billion
dollars. The eXperimenter who finds
a cheap and easy way of extracting this
gold will be able to snap his fingers
at Klondikers while he sits by and
watches the sea water pouring through
his sluices and leaving behind its rich
deposit of precious metal.

,Wganic Reptiles
That Once Lived
on the Earth


tives now exist. Only a few species
had the shortness Of limb which would
enable them to swim the ave Of the
open sea for any period Of time.
One of the Laramie animals, Hadro-
saurus mirabilis (Leidy) (see illustra-
tion), a wader, may be called the
spoonbin dinosauer, having a goose
like head over three feet in length. In
the Jaws Of a single. specimen were
counted two thousand and scventy-two
teeth. Otherwise its form slightly re-
sembled that of the kankaroo. For a
reptile the head had an unusually
backward elevation. remarkably con-
tracted at the fore part Of the jaw. The
total length of a specimen in Professor
Cope's collection is thirty-eight feet.
The fore limbs were small, and were
possibly used at times for support, but
rarely for selling. the phalanges of the
hands being hoof-like rather than
claw-like. The head was borne on a
vertical neck in the same manner as a
birds head, and its general appearance
must have been bird-like. The nature
Of the beak and teeth indicate a diet
of soft vegetable matter. 1t could not
not have eaten the branches of trees
without breaking the teeth Of the low
er jaw, but it could have scraped off
the leaves. The appearances indicate
even a softer food. Could we suppose
that the great Laramie lakes ON the
Rocky Mountain borders supplied an
abundance of aquatic plants without
woody tissue. the conditions would
have been appropriate to this curious
structure. Aquatic plants could east
ly have been gathered by this double
spoonbill, and have been tossed, by
bird-like jerks of the head and neck,
back to the mill of the small and deli
cate teeth. OF teeth it had our and
one-half successive sets. In order to
submit the food to the action Of these
vertical shears, the jaws must have
been opened widely during mastication
and not u%nnaturally, as in birds and
reptiles the mouth opens to a point
behind the eye. The eye was evident
ly of large size, but the ear was small.
