FORGED CHECKS
And Succeeded in Securing a Neat
Sum--One Man in
the Jail.

George A.. Walker and a smooth indi-
vidual who represented himself to some
of his victims as a man named Mitchell,
and to others as Robinson, succeeded in
passing at least ten and possibly many
more forged checks on a number of bust
ness concerns Saturday night and Sum
day. Walker, who was a sort of a go
between for Mitchell, or Robinson, is in
custody, but the other man, the brains
of the combination, is conspicuous by his
absence and has probably put consider
able distance between himself and those
who would like to see him very much.
Mitchell and Walker confined their OPP
erations principally to saloons, although
a number of secondhand dealers We're
also victimized. The checks We're usually
for small amounts, none, as far as re-
ported, exceeding $25, but the number
issued and cashed will make the aggre-
gate loss run up to several hundred dol
lars. Mitchell. who is glib of speech and
suave of manner. did most of the talk
ing. He represented himself to be a
mining man who vas operating some
where out in the country, and that he
had come to town to purchase mining
machinery to the extent of about $35. 900.
which was to be erected on a property
which would place him in the Amalgam-
ated class in a very short time. He was
a somewhat elderly man and his gray
hairs ave some dignity to his utter
ances. Of course, in a majority Of in
stances it was a pleasure to cash a small
check for a future millionaire, who spent
his none with the same ease with which
he received it. and who would remember
his friends in the future.
In one place he succeeded in cashing a
check for SIS, and told the proprietor that
he was stopping at the McDermott hotel,
where he could be in touch with his
friends, who We're experts and lawyers
in the big mining suit now in progress.
He stretched his yarn somewhat too fine
and the proprietor vent into another
room and telephoned to the hotel to as
certain if he had bought a gold brick
on not, and was informed that
man by the name of Mitchell was a
guest Of that place. He came back and

and Mitchell quickly replied that he was
incog, and that he had regis
tered under the name Of Robinson, and
further that he would Immediately go out

oility. He left the place, and has not been
seen since.
One of the places victimized was the
Pabst saloon on South Arizona street

Weatherby cashed a check for $40 for
the two men and later, learning that the
check was worthless reported the matter
to the chief of police, and Walker was ar
rested, but Mitchell could not be found.

REPUBLIC DIVIDEND.

Spokane Review: Republic dividend
number nine for s35 900 was declared yes
terday. This brings the total of divi-
dends paid by this famous mine to late
up to 1895 0Oo. AS usual the payment will
be made thirty days hence. The eighth
dividend was paid from the Montreal Of
flee Saturday.
The Republic is now fully in the control
OF the Montreal syndicate which was or
ganized last winter to acquire it. By far
the larger part of the stock formerly held
by Spokane men is now in the hands of
Montreal holders and the Spokane men
have millions in cash instead. But some
Spokane holders did not sell when the
stock that was in the big pool was sold.
To these the news wired from Toronto
Sunday tht the company will keep up
steady payment of dividends and at the
same time secure large ore reserves in
anticipation of the discovery of a better
mode of treatment, is particularly graft
flying. At the same time there is a well
defined rumor afloat that experiments
lately carried on for the purpose of find
ing a better means of extracting values
from the ores Of Republic camp have been
.abundantly successful. A gentleman
who is in close touch with these expert
ments conf1ded to a Spokesman-Review
man yesterday confidently that some big
news is due from that direction but he
would not go into details. From other
sources the rumor is confirmed although
no positive statements are forthcoming
yet.

POLICE COURT.

George Peterson, charged With the
theft of $40 from his erstwhile friend,
Hiram F. Davis, told his story in Judge
Sullivan's court this morning to such
good effect that he was discharged. Pc
terson and Davis arrived in the city a
few days 6 from Logan. a Northern
Pacific station about so miles east of this
city. Each had a little money. They
proposed to do a little celebrating. Pc
terson deposited some of his money with
the Northern Pacific company, but Davis
said he thought he was competent to take
care of his money and would take it with
him. They went to the bad lands and
drank a great deal in a Mercury street
resort. Davis drew his roll from his
pocket. and the women attempted to take
it away from him, but Peterson inter
fered, took the money. put it in his pocket
for safe keeping until his friend was So
berer, and left the place. Davis then had
him arrested on a charge of petit lar
ceny.
Dick Mullens, charged with drunken.
ness, pleaded guilty and was fined S. ant
costs.
