EIGHT DOLLARS OUT.
But j. III. Wolfe Holds a Beautiful
Bank Check Instead

j. H. Wolfe, who conducts a boarding
house at 613 Seventh street yesterday
fell victim to a time-honored, griZZled
trick, often resorted to by members of
the light fingered fraternity who have
occasion to raise the wind.
A young man presented himself at the
Wolfe establishment yesterday morn
ing and said he was looking for a
a room and board in quiet neighbor~
hood. He was shown such accommO-
dations as the house presented, and ex-
pressed himself as being more than sat
isfied.
A bargain was soon struck, and the
young man, who gave the name of
O'Brien, took the room, with board for
a month, and presented a check for $50,
purporting to be on the National Bank
of D. o. Mills & Co, in payment.
Mr.. Wolfe handed out the nice young
man his change, amounting to 50, and
the latter started to the railroad depot
for his baggage, but-"he never came
back" and the check proved worthless,
except as an ornament and a voucher
that there are still left those ready and
willing to bite at the old, old game, and
then imagine they have been buncoed.

LEvEE ROAD NEAR FREEPORT,
ANOTHER ACCIDENT ON THE
RAZOR-BACK HIGHWAY.
An Upset, Two ConstabIes Hurt
and a Runaway-A Hard
Road to Travel.

| The raZor-back road that skirts along
| the river bank south of the village of
| treeport, and which has been the
cause of many an accident, was the
| scene of another upset last night
| Constable Whitney of this city and
| a companion officer were on their way
10 some point down the river on busi-
| ness, and while driving along this mar
row ridge that by courtesy is called a
| road" their vehicle swerved an inch
or SO out of the ruts and over it went
ConstabIes and all.
| One of the occupants sustained a Sc
we're injury to his shoulder, and the
other was badly cut and bruised about
the head and face. They telephoned to
Mayor Phil Riehl of Freeport tosendout
his wrecl1ing crew. but when the outfit
reached the spot the wreckage had van
| ished. The horses, it seems. took fright
| when the vehicle went over the grade
and dashed away with it. How many
more wrecks they caused along the
hogsback' highway before they
stopped is not known.
| The roadway in question is the worst
! in the whole county 1t is narrow lit
tie levee built along the river bank
!
| that horses and vehicles that have
rolled over have gone straight into the
river The land is valuable along
there, as it is very fertile and confined
to narrow strip that is all planted to
fruit trees. If there We're no levee the
roadway would be wide enough, but it
would be flooded during the high water.
| Therefore the levee is necessary to
|
enough for safe roadway. The Su
| pervisors and landowners have been
| for years at loggerheads over the mat
! ter the latter refusing to build good,
wide levee, and the Supervisors declin-
| ing to buy the necessary ground and
doing the work which they think the
land owners should do. They say that
| if a broad levee were built they would
| maintain the roadway on top, but in
sist that it is not the countys business
| to build levees for protecting private
! lands.
| In the meantime the county has spent
considerable money in piling, planking,
etc, to protect the razorback from
being washed away by the river, for 1t
is the only road by which the down
! the-river sections can be reached.
If possible, something should be done
to provide a good. safe highway along
| the river. 1t is the richest part of the
county and pays good share of the
taxes, but it is a question as TO how
much of the expense the county should
stand and how much should be met by
the owners of the land, who want both
protection from inunda ton and public
road that can be travelled with safety.
This river road, if properly construct
ed. would afford one of the most charm
ing driveways in the State. The river
bank is shaded by large oak and syca-
more trees, and the scenery along the
river is very attractive, including almost
an unbroken line of orchards on one side
of the road for thirty or forty miles.
It is a pity that some understanding
has not been arrived at to provide the
public with a good road in that section.

ON HIS WAY.
Young Maher Now Travelling To-
ward the Land Of Blizzards.

Z. +. Maher. the young man who, ac-
cording to his own story, fell into by
ways and forbidden paths in Grand
Island, Neb., signed checks on his en-
ployers, Armour & Co. for about $500,
filled up on champagne, and finally
landed in Sacramento, where he was
overtaken by a wave of contrition and
told his troubles to Sergeant Plunkett
and Officer Ash is on his way back to
Grand Island, accompanied by Police
Court Bailiff William j. Hardy.
Maher, who is only "a years old,
wanted very much to return to Grand
Island, and at his request Robert Gra-
ham, General Manager for Armour &,
Co. on the Pacific Coast, was communi-
Gated with
Manager Graham Immediately tele-
graphed the facts in the case to head
quarters in Chicago, and last evening a
reply was received authorizing him to
return the erring though repentant
youth to Grand Island, and to send
a man along with him, all at the ex-
pense of the company
Sergeant Plunkett naturally expected
that if junket was on the programme
he, as arresting officer, would be given
the preference together with first
class return ticket but when he visited
the field of his labor last evening Hardy
was already on deck, armed with a
vaiiSe and ready to tackle the blizzardS
of Wyoming in order to return young
Maher to the bosoms of his expecting
friends. Maher and his escort left
for the East at 10 O'Clock last night.
