USE OF THE REVENUE STAMP

Deputy Collector of Internal
Revenue S. M. Colon yesterday re-
ceived copy of the decision issued
on July 20. The pamphlet was
complied by the commissioner of in
ternal revenue, G.. w. Wilson. Ali
collectors are directed to notify the
banks of the commissioners decision
regarding the usage of revenue stamps
on checks. According to the special
revenue laws bank is not permitted
to receive check unless it bears a
revenue stamp. Many banks have
interpreted the law to mean that the
stamp must be affixed to the check
before it may be filed. Commissioners
Wilson interprets it differently He
decides that check should not be re
cejved by the bank unless the stamp
has first been affixed by the person
who issues it, but must be returned
to the drawer.-Enterprise.

CHENOWETH REINsTATED

Collector Ohenoweth Of Nogales
Arizona, arrived in the city thii
morning from Washington, D. 9.
A short time ago charges we're pre-
ferred against Mr.. Ohenoweth, that
he had violated the civil service laws
It seems that Mr.. Chenoweth was
being prosecuted by his political enc
mics who were trying to have him
removed from Office.
The parties who preferred the
charges were disappointed applicants
for the collectorship, and are now un-
der indictment in Santa Cruz county,
Arizona, for libel, etc. It has been
said that Mr.. Chenoweth was reinsta--
ted on the grounds of the action oi
the late grand jury touching some OF
his accusers who were indicted. A
man by the name of Hoey was named
to succeed MIR. Chenoweth. but he
never assumed the duties of the Office
Mr.. Chenoweth has been reinstated
by the civil service commission, and
the charges against the collector will
be fully investigated. Friends of the
collector say that the investigation
will result in complete vindication.
Mr.. Chenoweth left for Nogales this
afternoon.-El Paso Herald.

Mesa free press., 1899-08-11

The organization Of the Mesa brass
band is complete and under the lead
ership of Prof. Oman has made splen-
did progress. The concerts given thus
far have been attended by large and
appreciatiye audiences and have ad-
ded very materially as social feature
to the city. The individual members
Of the band are paying for their in
struction and music, and are devoting
a great deal of their time to practic-
ing. If one stops to consider the JUS
tice of this it will be readily seen
that it is not iust as it should be, It
is perfectly hight and proper that the
boys should have shown the public
just what they have shown them, and
that they really mean business. Mesa
must haye band, and the public
must expect to help the boys out and
rot expect them to give their time,
labor and money to the ppbllc gratis.
It is not business and cannot be ex-
pected to stand the test. The matter
has reached the stage when the ques
tion: SIS Mesa to have a bandP' arises
and must be disposed of one way or
the other. Certainly the matter can
not be dropped without an expression
from the public. Let all show lit
tie interest and if few pennies cam
not be subscribed, show some inter
est and willingness to help the matter
out in some other beneficial way. The
band will give an entertainment very
soon, and one that will be worthy OF
the patronage of all. Let everyone
hold themselves individually respon-
slble for the SUCCESS of the affair,
financially and socially.-Republican,

MYSTERIOUS DEATH
IN A L0DGING-H0USE
Drunk Found Dead-other
Sudden Deaths

Shortly before noon yesterday the
Morgue wagon was telephoned for to at
tend to n case at 230 Kearny street,
where the dead body OF an unknown man
was found in a room on the bed.
The case is wrapped in mystery, and
win be turned over to the police for in
vestigation after the new Coroner holds
an autopsy.
From the statement of Mrs. Crawford,
the landlady of the lodging-house. it ap-
pears that four men, one of whom is
hack-driver named Less, applied for
room for a man they said was helplessly
drunk They were given room, into
which they carried man seemingly very
much under the influence of liquor, whom
they placed on the bed without remov
ing his clothing. The men then departed.
In the forenoon a servant a the house
found the stranger dead on the bed in
the condition in which his companions had
left him.
AT the Morgue Deputy Coroner Hallett
made a careful search Of his effects, but
nothing could be found by-which his iden-
titv could be established. In his ~o0Kets
were number of cards with the name
OF the california Concrete Company"
printed thereon. In ADDITION to these was
ers on Thirteenth street, Los Angeles,
awarding a contract to j. Helm TO put
down n concrete sidewalk on that street
between Main street ana Grand avenue
for cents square 1oot
No property or money was found on
his person. and as DR.. Gallagher did not
examine the body in consequence OF his
official term having expired at u o'clock
last night, the cause of death is unknown.
Eary this morning dispatch was re-
csived from Los Angeles saying that the
unknown man was James Mcfarland.
Daneased was employed by the cement
company in that city for some time. He
was well educated and is said to have
been hard drinker.
Theodore M Bracker. q discharged pri-
yate of Company G. Sixth California Vol
llnteers, was found on the floor of his
bedroom. Bracker had been imbibing
yery freely since his discharge from the
army. on the Sd of September, and this
is supposed to have been the cause of his

FOUGHT FOUR POLICEMEN.
a Desperate Ex-Convict Wrecks a
Cell in the City Prison,

Jesse Grant, an ex-convict, created a
disturbance at the masquerade ball in the
Mechanics Pavilion early yesterday
morning and when a police officer at
tempted to eject him he struck the officer
with his clenched fist. The officer quickly
seized him and in the struggle that fol-
lowed Grant was thrown to the floor. He
still continued TO fight, however, and 1t
required four policemen to land him in
prison. After he was formally charged
with battery and disturbing the peace he
became abusive to the arresting officers
and was thrown in the dark cell. When
he was taken out several hours later Cor
poral Hickey discovered that he had COM
pletely wrecked the inside of the cell.
He was then thrown back into the dun
geon until last evening, when a woman
visited the prison and asked to see him.
She had two orders of release signed by
