THE BOGUS OPIUM TRAFFIC.
HOW CHINESE ARE DEFRAUDED
OF THEIR MONEY.
Deputy Marshal Chillingworth's Hard
Chase Last Night Which Resulted
in John Navier's Arrest.

Deputy Marshal Chillingworth rides
a wheel and so does John Xavier, but
the policeman is the better Splinter of
the two. as was demonstrated last. ev-
ening. John Xavier was for a long
time in the employ of Marshal Hitch
cock and was a sort of running mate
of eX-Detective Gus Cordes. The two
worked together and had the entire
confidence of the marshal during the
troublous times of the last revolu-
ton
But times changed and their SER
vices were no longer needed. Xavier
has long been suspected of being in
the opium business but the police
could never get any proof of it un-
til last night. While Chillingsworth
was riding along on his wheel he ran
across Xavier by accident Xavier
was on a wheel also and there was a
package tied to the front of it, The
moment Xavier saw the deputy mar
shall he put on squirt. Chillingsworth
had noticed the package and his sus-
picions being aroused gave chase,
and pretty race ensued, i'm which
the representative of the law finally
got close enough to grab the man by
the shoulder and throw him off his
wheel. Gaining possession of the
package he quickly tore off one end
of it and was rewarded by seeing the
ends of some opium tins inside. He
then arrested Navier and took him to
the station house where he was charg-
ed with opium in possession.
Examination of the package show
ed there were 26 tins in it, all alike
as to brands, make and labels. But
upon opening each tin separately only
two were found to contain opium: the
others were filed with bogus opium.
made from poi and moasses.
The methods of dealing in bogus
opium are thus explained. 4 quanti-
ty of bogus tins are prepared and
with them are placed two or three
tins of the genuine stuff, easily iden-
titled by some private mark known
only to the dealer. When a prospec-
tive purchaser is found the dealer APP
parently picks out a tin at random.
but is always careful that it shall be
a genuine one. This is opened and
sampled. When the bargain is struck.
the purchaser may take five or ten or
twenty tins, or the whole lot. but if
he only wants the sample tin of course
there is refusal to sell. The victim
of course finds out later on that he
has been defrauded but he has no re-
dress. for to complain to the police is
TO give himself away as being in the
opium business.
Navier has been released on 500
bonds and his case set for trial Octo-

pepsia. and for the very reason that il
is so common many people neglect TAX
ing proper treatment for what they
consider trifling stomach trouble. when
as matter OF fact. indigestion lays the
foundation for many inCurable dis
eases. No person with vigorous.
healthy stomach will fall a victim TO
consumption. Many kidney diseases
and heart troubles date their beginning
from poor digestion; thin. nervous peo-
pie are really so because their stom-
achs are out OF gear; weary, languid.
faded out women owe their condition
to imperfect indigestion.
When nearly every person you meet
is afflicted with weak digestion IL is not
surprising that nearly every secret pat
ont medicine on the market claims To
bc Il cure FOR dyspepsia, as well as "A
score OF other troubles. when I'm fact. as
