Jessie Banning of San Francisco has
just won great triumph in her long
contest for the rich strip of mahogany
land along the west slope of the Cor
dilleras in Peru. Though she lost her
father Tuthlessly struck down from
ambush in the bitter strife, and her
mother, who died from grief and de-
spondency, she won husband and
fortune. But for the timely and stanch
assistance of George Flores 1t is
doubtful whether she ever could have
won against the Vaccinations of the
rich and influential men who were
determined to capture the great ma
hogany tracts valued at S6O0,0OO.
When, disguised as a boy, she was
wounded in trying to recover the
Valdes deeds in order to prove her
title, it was Flores who aided her to
escape the hirelings who had her
surrounded. When the Yaldes deeds
were recovered it was Flores who
shrewdly preserved them till they
were called for by the courts, though
detectives and cuttnroats were ran
sacking the possessions of everybody
connected with the case, threatening
the weak-hearted and even KIDNAPPING
those that were thought to know the
whereabouts of the papers. Despite
all their efforts the deeds were pre-
served and presented to the court at
the opportune moment, and the we'd
ding of Jessie Banning and George
Flores dramatically closed the long
and exciting contest.
Jessie Banning might be. called an
American girl, though she was born
in Peru. Very early in life she was
taken to California by her mother and
attended the public school in San
Francisco, where she formed many
acquaintances. 1t was through her
mother that she inherited the title to
the great stretch of valuable forest
lands which were so long in dispute.
Joe Banning, her father, was very
well-known in the Mendocino noun
tain ranges. In the early '7Os he SOLD
his timber claims in that region and
went to San Francisco for rest and
to see what chances offered for in
yestments in new lines. There he met
pretty black haired Anita Ramirez,
who had come from Peru on visit
to an aunt, and he fell desperately IN
love with her Marriage quickly fol-
lowed. He took wedding trip with |
her to Peru to visit her relatives and
.'see what kind of a country it was,
anyway" Being timber expert, he
became keenly alive to the prosne'f

Melbourne Police Scandal.

From the London Chronicle.
Melbourne has been startled by allegat lions
against its police of the character common
in New York under Tammany rule. The
Melbourne force mad for many years a man
In its ranks who was known as the literary
policeman" because he published couple
Of books. manual for the use Of constab-
ulary and dictionary Of colonial criminal
slang He recently retired, after twenty
years service. and now he has issued pam
phlet embodying q series of astounding
charges against his late comrades. He
accuses them of conspiring with burgla RS
for the systematic robbery Of stores and
houses, perturing themselves to secure the
conviction Of innocent men and respectable
women, and levying blackman upon street
thieves and fallen women. deputation of
citizens has brought these charges under
the notice Of the chief secretary, who has
promised a. full and strict inquiry.
. Twenty years have passed since the last
police scandal in Melbourne. Then a royal
commission made some astonishing discov-
cries. One was that each detective had a
criminal in his employ, who was known as
a "fzz-gig." The ostensible duty OF a
.'nzz-gig" was to keep his detective-master
well informed of what was happening and
what was contemplated in the criminal
world But 1t was abundantly proved that
these "fizz-gigs" were themselves the active
promoters and organizers Of crimes. Such
was the jealousy and rivalry among the de-
tectives that each was always trying to
catch and convict the others "1zz-gig."
The upshot Of the inquiry was the abolition

Of yesterday morning 1t seems that Nc
KEGS statements concerning his wealth
were greatly exaggerated. AS stated, rel
atives say he received from his fathers es-
tate about 5000, while he is understood to
have given it out that he had received more
than ten times this amount. He had played
the races and spent his money freely ana
indications are that at the time OF MS
death he did not possess one cent
Speaking to Star reporter, an officer In
terested in the case summarized it in this
way:
Mckee was in love with Miss Brandt and
hoped some day he might become her hus-
band. He had spent all his money and see
ing no chance of his becoming the son-in-
law of the hotel man, he concluded life was
not worth living. While he was going he
thought he would take Brandt and his wife
and daughter out of the world with him.
He undoubtedly of the opinion that
Miss Brandt was in her own room Wednes-
day night and he probably felt sure the
three members of the family were dead be-
fore he blew out his own brains"
Members of the Brandt family deny the
love story and still declare that only the
races accomplished the ruin OF Frank Nc
Kee.
