ABSCONDER LOCATED.
Fleishman, the Former Los Angeles
Banker, at HermosiIIo.
SEEN AND RECOGNIZED.

Henry j. Fleishman the Los Angeles
absconder, is now, or has been, at Her
mosillo, Mexico. He was reported to
have been seen in several Mexico
cities, but detectives have so far failed
to locate him. II Is now alleged that
he is living in Hermosillo, and al
though he does not try to hide his
whereabouts, he does not relish the
idea of meeting people from his old
home.
1t will be remembered that several
months ago he took a small grip filed
with 100000 of money belonging to
a Los Angeles bank of which he was
cashier. and skipped to parts un-
known.
F. H. Rogers. of Los Angeles, who
knows freshman well, saw him in
Hermosillo and had the following talk
with him, says the Bisbee Review:
when | caught sight of Fleishman
| recognized him without any difficulty
because he wears his moustache and
looked as he did when he was In the
bank
"In order to make sure. however.
went up to him and said This is Mr..
Freshman who used to reside in Los
Angeles, is 1t not?'
He assured me that | was right.
then introduced myself and we held a
social conversation touching many
subjects of mutual interest. He asked
me how Los Angeles was getting along
and told him the city was booming.
asked him what he was doing and
he said: Nothing at present. l am
here for a few weeks
Il did not say anything to him about
his affairs farther than to ask him how
he was getting along. | did not men,
tion the bank at all. Mr.. Fleishman
appeared to be in excellent health and
in his customary good spirits. | am
absolutely certain that it was he whom
saw. | could not possibly be mis-
taken. especially since | introduced
myself and inquired specifically il the
gentleman | was addressing was not
Henry j. Fleishman.
"Are you going to inform the off,
GERS and claim the reward in the
event that they are able to arrest the
defaulter?" was asked.
whats the use?" inquired Mr.. Rog-
ers. Il am pretty well satisfied that
the bank does not want TO catch Mr..
Fleishman, anyway AS a matter of
fact il has lost nothing in a financial
way, and Fleishman is merely a scape-
goat. Moreover, | have heard that
the $4,000 reward has been withdrawn.
| am not after blood money. in any
event. and do not know that care to
see Fleishman captured"

PATTERSON IS QUIET.

Washington. ID. c.. April 24.-Sena-
tor Money. of Mississippi, had an al
tercation with a conductor on a street
car today. which resulted in the SEN
Rtor receiving Two severe blows from
the conductor, the latter being cut Sc
verely with knife. According to the
senator, he got on the wrong car, and
did not notice il in time to get q
transfer ticket. The car he should
have boarded wac in the rear Of the
other. When seated in the latter the
conductor asked for ticket, although,
Mr.. Money says, he had seen him go
from one car to the other. Mr.. Money
refused to pay his fare. and the con-
ductor tried to eject him. He struck
him a blow, and Money took out his
knife to protect himself. The conduc-
tor and a passenger tried to throw him
off of the car and doing so the conduc-
tor received several cuts. After they
had eJected him, Mr.. Money says, the
conductor struck him vicious blow.
Senator Money was not seriously hurt
and appeared at the capitol later.
Later in the day the conductor was
arrested on a warrant sworn out by
Senator Money. He says he did not
strike the senator until the latter drew
knife and did not make any effort
to put him off the car while in motion.

SCOTT KNIGHT.
He Would Make a Most Excellent Fire
Chief

Ii is understood that .Aayor Myers is
considering several names for the of
flee of chief of the Albuquerque Fire
department. The Citizen has no ofiic-
ial information as to what names the
mayor has under consideration, but de
sires TO state that the best informed
man today in Albuquerque on lighting
fires, with all due respect to ex-Chief
Ruppe and Captain Sutherland, is
Scott Knight. For many years he was
the efficient foreman of Scott Moore
hose company, (then in existence), and
his valuable aid and advice, in those
strenuous times, when run or the
real kind had TO be made TO fire,
saved many a residence and store
building from being consumed entirely
by fire. He was the embodiment of
everything that pertained to fire fight
ing in those days, and could locate the
fierce elements with a precision that
was admirable TO behold. in those
days, his counsel was sought after by
the unpaid fire chiefs, and, knowing
his ability TO do much excellent work,
his advice was more often accepted

THE BEALS GRANT.
Some History Recited in Condemning
the Contemplated Steal.
1T SHOULD BE WATCHED.

A recent Washington special stated
that certain members of the Kansas
congressional delegations are making
an attempt to revive, by legislation,
the Beal grant, as it was formerly
called, and thus unsettle the titles to
large areas of land in Kansas, Colora-
do, Oklahoma and New Mexico, says
the Denver News. This Beal claim is
fully as fictitious as the Peralta-Reavis
claim, although as yet no such fraudu-
lent testimony has been manufactured
to sustain it as was done in the Peralta
Reavis case. There appears to be no
immediate danger that congress will
enact the desired legislation, but the
matter will bear constant watching. AS
was remarked in connection with the
Chaves grant, which has been adJudi-
Gated by the court of private land
claims, any interference by congress
with land titles which the courts have
determined is always to be deprecated.
So far as We can recall the history of
this so-called Beal grant, it is a myth,
and congress will do an act of gross
injustice to thousands of people who
have farms and homes within the linn
it's claimed by these heirs. The very
extent of the area claimed is ample
evidence that it is fictitions, and il
there be any claimants who actually
believe they have rights to the land in
question they are simply deceived.
The danger of congressional action
in the matter of grants may be lnstanc-
ed by stating the narrow escape from
confirming the old Vigil-St. Vrain grant
which once comprised most south
ern Colorado. Colonel St. Vrain was in
Washington urging the confirmation OF
the grant and the senate committee on
public lands was about to make fav-
orable report. st. Vrain hat fine
map of the grant made, and, unfortun-
ately for him showed it to judah P.
BENJAMIN. Putting his finger at the
junction of the st. Charles with the
Arkansas, Senator Benjamin asked (:
Colonel. how far is 1t down to that
point?" indicating the mouth of the
Purgatoire.
about seventy-five miles" replied
st. Vrain.
And how far is it to this point?'
continued Benjamin, tracing the line
along to the summit of the Ratons.
Upwards of $50 miles, said St
Vrain.

He Has No rheumatism.

Joe barnett is now convinced The
Citizen has large outside circulation
Yesterday he received letter from a
firm in New Jersey, stating that the
information had been received through
an item in The Citizen that he (Bar-
nett) was suffering from rheumatism,
and offering a quick, safe and sure
cure for the malady. Mr.. Barnett did
not answer the letter-he consigned
all to the waste basket, and he is now
trying to find out whether he has
rheumatism or not. He never had a
touch of such a disease in his life and
thinks he is free from the annoying
aches. In the first place, The Citizen
had only stated that he was at Santa
Rosalia Springs taking the baths, and
the New Jersey firm, seeing the item,
probably inferred that Mr.. Barnett had
the rheumatism.
