ARREST OF A FRAUD.
Rosse1, the Bogus Check Operator,
Landed in Jail

Louis Rossel alias Aug. Geiser, the
fraudulent check operator, is behind the
bars at the City Prison. He crossed the
path of Officer George K. Naghel short
ly after 10 o'clock yesterday morning,
and his downfall dates from that in
stant.
Rossel or Geiser, has been in Sacra-
mento for several days. On Monday
last he went to Washington, across the
river, and poured plausible tale into
the ear of j. w. Irwin, who conducts
saloon in that village. He told Irwin
that he had decided to take up his res
idence in Washington, had bargained to
rent a house, and was then going to
pay the rent for a month, but had only
check signed by Mohr & Yoerk on
the National Bank of D. o. Mills e. Co.
to offer in payment, and he feared the
landlord might not be able to make
change.
Thereupon Irwin ascertained that the
alleged check called for $3.50, and to
accommodate prospective neighbor he
cashed it for him. When he took the
check to the bank he was informed
that it was worthless.
The story was published in the Rec
ord-Union," but evidently there are
men who do not read. About o'clock
yesterday morning a man giving the
name of Aug. Geiser visited the Ale
Vaults, at Third and J streets, and in
duced one of the proprietors, j. j. Ma
gele, to cash a purported Mohr & Yoerk
check on the D. o. Mills Bank for S9.S3.
When the bank opened for business
at 10 o'clock Nagele presented the
check at the bank and was suavely in
formed that it was a clumsy forgery,
and that there were others. Nagele
thereupon told his troubles. to Officer
Naghel and the two visited the depot,
where they found Rossel, alias Geiser,
in the act of boarding the south bound
train.
officer Naghel took the alleged forger
under his wing, and after he had been
identified by Mr.. Nagele locked him up
in the City Prison
Mr.. Irwin, the Washington man who
had cashed the check on Monday last,
was notified of the arrest and identified
Geiser as the man who had f1im-f1am-
med him.
Rossel, alias Geiser, seeing that the
net was being drawn closely about him,
threw up the sponge and admitted that
he had filled in the blank checks.
Rossel is wanted at Petaluma for
negotiating a bogus check for $3.50
City Attorney De Ligne says he will
have two charges of forgery preferred
against Rossel and that after the Sac
ramento authorities get through with
him the Sonoma County people may
take a fall out of him if they so desire
officer Naghel has looked up the rec
ord Of the man, whose real name is
August Geiser 0he one signed to the
check cashed by Nagele). He is an
old-timer and served two years in the
Walla Walla prison in Washington,
where he was sent to Tacoma for a
forgery similar to the one with which
he is now charged. 1t has also been
learned that he is wanted in Salinas,
also for forgery.

Baby's Arms Neck Hands and Face
Broken out with Red Pimples.
Terribly Infiamed.
Had to Wear Soft Mittens to Keep

Was Terrible.
2 Leading Physicians Gould Not

CURA. Immediate Cure.

Our little daughter, now fifteen months old,
was troubled from her birth with Eczema.
Her face, arms, hands, and neck would break
out with red pimples, the parts afflicted
would swell and become terribly infamed,
water would ooze out like great beads of per-
spiration, finally this would dry up and the
skin would crack and peel off. She suffered
terribly. Had to wear soft mittens on her
hands to keep her from scratching. We gave
two of our leading physicians good trial,
but neither Of them helped her in the least.
/ purchased CUTICURA SOAP, CUTICURA (oint-
ment), and CUTICURA RESoLvENT, and COM
menced using them as follows: After bath
ing wiped her with soft linen CLOTH applied
CUTIcURA (ointment) freely, and gave her the
REsoLvENT regularly. She improved at once
and is now never troubled, although we have
used less than one bottle of REsoLvENT, three
boxes of SALvE, and of course CUTICURA
SOAP. The statements l have made are abso-
lutely true and not exaggerated in any way

river makes a sharp turn at that
point, and the current strikes into the
bank at right angles, eroding the
sands like that much snow. To stop
the erosion the Auditing Board ordered
the laying of a brush mattress several

willows overlapping one another, bound
together by a network of wire attached
to stakes driven at regular intervals.

The CHICORY RANCH LEVEE.
PROTECTING THE yOLO BANK
OF THE RIVER.
A Weak Place Where Flood Waters
Might Otherwise Break
Through.

All that can be done to save the
levee at the Chicory ranch, five miles
down the river from this city, on the
Yolo side, and thereby prevent break
which would not only inundate the
Yolo Basin, but also divert from the
river channel water needed to assist
in securing out that imDediment to
navigation the Newtown Shoals
being done by the Department of Pub
lie Works.
The levee at the Chicory ranch is and
has been for years deplorably weak.
Five times heretofore has the levee
been set back, owing to the encroach-
ment of the river, but the season of
storms and floods is near, and the
swift current of the stream brushes
the bank at the base of the levee.
On the 9th instant the matter was
presented at the meeting Of the Aud
iting Board to the Commissioner of
Public Works by a deputation from
the Sacramento Chamber of Com
merce, and the board, after hearing the
facts and listening to reports on the
subject by the engineers to the Com
missioner declared the case to be one
of emergency, and authorized Commits
sioner Leake and Captain T. B. Hall
to contract for the laying Of a brush
mattress over the 300 feet of embank
ment which is being constantly eroded
by the action of the current. The levee
cannot, owing to the prospective near
approach of winter be rebuilt farther
back in time to resist flood water.
On the 10th instant a contract was
let, work TO be commenced the follow
ing Monday. Work was commenced
accordingly, and has been pushed with
such vigor that by the middle of this
week, should no accident occur. it will
be finished.
The engineers OF the Public Works
Department frankly state that the
work being done at the Chickory ranch
is not of a permanent character In
fact, it was not intended as such The
engineers, the Auditing Board and the
local Chamber of Commerce realize
that the work being done may go out
with the first rise of the river. On
the other hand, they recognize the pos
sibiiity of its lasting out the winter,
thereby giving time to either set the
levee back or construct rip-rap work
sufficiently strong to resist the cur
rent The plan was adopted in much
the same spirit, as Engineer Nurse
said, that a drowning man clutches
at straws."

lone Coal and Iron Company Wants
$4,000 Damages,

The lone Coal and Iron Company has

The suit grows out of a contract made
with the plaintiff for coal for the water
works for one year from July 13, 1896,
at S1.I5 a ton. The coal was received
by the city until November of that
year, but after that the Trustees re-
fused to receive it, although plaintiff
was ready at all times to deliver it, and
purchased coal for the water works
from other parties
When the new pump and boilers were
put in the Trustees found that the lone
coal was not fitted to burn for pump
ing, and, declining to buy it any more,
bought a different quality of coal and
used it. The lone company presented
a bill Of $1,000 for damages, which the
board refused to pay; hence the suit.
