PETTY FORGER
UNDER ARREST
Makes Business Of Pass
ing Fictitious
Checks.
Victims in This City and
Eastern States Are
Many.

II. H. Hansen appeared before JUDI
Mogan yesterday on the felony charge Af
passing a fictitious check on z. ~ Hunte-
mann, a butcher at 421 Turk street. Han
sen was instructed and arraigned and the
case continued until December H. A sim
liar charge was preferred against the
prisoner by John Bellner of the firm Of
Kruse & BeIImer, grocers, Turk and Lar
kin streets Hansen represented to them
that he was president of the Pacific Cigar
Company, with offices in the DOnOhoe
building. The police say other business
men have been swindled by Hansen in the
same way.
Captain Seymour has received informa-
ton from the East that Hansen, who has
q number Of aliases, and NJ. r. Allen,
alias Truman Nye, who was arrested in
this city on charge Of forgery commit
ted in Kansas City and was sentenced
there to five years Imprisonment on De-
cember 8, were partners in crime and were
looked upon as two of the cleverest crooks
in the country. Their scheme was to call
upon business men, representing them
selves as agents for some large Eastern
house, and pass bogus checks on the
strength of that representation.
Hansen is known in the East as Frank
Hurlbert, alias Marvin A. Barringer,
alias w. H. Mcdonald, alias Martin AL
len. On July q, 1896, he was arrested in
Chicago for conspiring to defraud, but
following he was arrested there on
charges Of swindling, and some Of the
cases are still pending against him. On
November 29, 1897, he was received at the
McClOud RefOrmatory, Minnesota, for fog
gerry in the second degree, from Nina
apolis, was parOled November o. f5S,
and discharged March II, 1899. He was ar
rested in St. Louis on June g. 1899 for
passing bogus checks and was sentenced
to six months in the workhOuse. On Janu-
airy 9, 1900, he was sentenced to ninety
days in prison at St. Paul, Mimi, for mis-
demeanOr embezzlement, and on March Is
of this year he was arrested in Milwaukee
for passing bogus checks. He was re-
leased on bail and fled He is still wanted
there.
He was next heard Of in Detroit, Mich,
where he was arrested September 4 on a
charge Of obtaining money by false pre-
lenses. The complaining witness refused
to prosecute him and he was discharged.
He came here with Allen about two
months ago and is now under arrest for
passing fictitious checks. Captain Sey-
motr has notified the Milwaukee and Chi
cago officials of his arrest.

EATTENING A BEAR

Bakersfield Sportsmen Getting Big

BAKERSFIELD, Dec. H.-Thomas
O'Brien of this city is fattening up a cub
bear 1t cost him SIS to get the animal
here from The Needles, but Harry Cor
bett of San Francisco wants another bear
hunt so little expense is not to be taken
into consideration. Corbett is not in on

UP so the sportsman will not miss it more
than two or three times Harry will be tel

The last bear Corbett killed proved to
have q pierced nose and peanuts in his

Brady, but the story is not generally be-
lieved by the sporting element of this city.

STARS SUSTAIN
WINNING GAIT
Play Fast Ball, Easily
Defeating Men From
Sacramento.
Hughes and Waddell Will
Oppose Each Other
To-Day.

The Senators lined up against the ALL
American wonders yesterday at Recrea-
ton grounds and politely accepted the
usual defeat which seems the lot of the
native talent to receive. The game was
fast and snappy occupying but an hour
and twenty-five minutes of play. Win
Mercer, the Washington twirler, was on
the slab for the big leaguers, opposed by
Stricklett. Mercer was a mystery all
through the game, except in the first
inning. Strickletts offerings were grace
fully accepted, nine of them being
pounded in safe places. The great
Lajoie had his lamps in better order than
heretofore and swatted the ball three out
of four times at bat.
The Senators began to do business at
the outset, but the pace was too warm.
They had to drop by the wayside after
the first inning. Stanley opened hostili-
ties with a rafting two-bagger and
Courtney walked. Both were advanced
on Davis out to pitcher and first.
Truck Eagan's hot single scored them.
This was all that Sacramento could do, as
Mercer was too much after the opening
round.
The visitors scored three runs in the
third. Sullivan was hit by pitched
ball, Mercer took four bad ones and
Pickering was safe on "fielder's choice,
filling the bases. Sullivan arrived on
Stanley's error and Mercer followed suit
on the throw IN from rlSnI 0elQ OF L rdS-
er's II Pickering then scored on LaJoie 5
single.
The All-Americans scored their last two
runs in the next round on three consecu-
tive hits by Irwin, Bradley and Mercer.
Bradley's and Irwins were good for two
stations each. After that there was
nothing doing, though both sides had
men on the bases
Courtney fielded in brilliant fashion.
He had six chances, none of them being
easy. and accepted them in a clever
manner The infield work of both Brad
ley and Lajoie was fast, while Pickering
gave his usual exhibition of brilliant work
in the left garden Barrett also distin-
guished himself by mailing one out by the
f1agpole-

ON A RAMPAGE
The Tusearawas River Is caus'
ing Havoc In Towns Along
F.. Its Banks.

Z Canal Dover, o., March 14.-The Tus-
carawas river is on the worst rampage
in years and is rapidly rising. 1t is
feared that continued warm weather
will add to the damage already done If
1t does not endanger life.
Wednesday the river rose so rapidly
that almost before the residents were
aware of it the whole of that portion of
the town known as Italyville, in the
flats, to the west, was under water and
many families were cut of from solid
ground. Their cries attracted help and
many imprisoned families were taken
from danger in small boats. The banks
above the Italian tenement districts
were lined with curious people, attract
ed by the plight of those below them.
Portions of the Cleveland, Lorain &
Wheeling railway are inundated and
trains are obliged to proceed with ex-
treme caution. The strain on the river
bridges from the rush of water and
debris from the north is terrific and
their destruction is feared.
