Boyyo7vs Money Upon a Fictitious Estate

Lieutenant Paul II. Mcdonald, Tenth
Infantry, is the latest gay young army
officer who is to be called up before
a court-martial.
He said he had an estate Of $780,.
900 coming to him. On his prospects
he borrowed money. The estate,
however, only consisted of two horses.
For these Misrepresentation he is
now under arrest at Fort Lawton,
Wash.
He is also accused of duplicating
his pay accounts, and must also an
swer charges of borrowing money from
his brother officers under false pre-
lenses.
Lieutenant Mcdonald arrived at the
Presidio early last June. He was
bright, sparkling and dashing. and i'm
mediately made a hit with the officers
of the post with whom he came in con-
tact. He was jolly and gay and soon
formed acquaintance in the down
town set. Society also smiled upon him
and he was welcomed to many Of the
homes of the 400. The whirl of the
crimson-lighted portion Of the town
also held out inducements TO the gay
young officer.
Here he is reported to have reveled
along with the merry throng that liked
bile rides in the soft light of the
dawn.
Now a second lieutenant's pay is all
very well as far as it goes, but it
doesn't go far after the officer leaves
the limits of his post and wants to en-
joy the gayeties of outside life. Nc
Donald suddenly found his funds de-
pleted. His creditors were pressing
him to the limit. He could not turn
a round that he did not frd hill or
a collector staring him III the face.
Suddenly he devised a scheme to raise
funds. One morning he announced that
his father had just died and left him
an estate valued at about $4,000. On
the strength of this statement he COM
menced TO borrow money right and
left and entered into the rosy paths Of
downtown life With renewed vigor.
Every day he said he was waiting
for the mai to bring bin remit
tance from the legacy left him. In
the meantime, he kept on borrowing,
from officers, friends and everybody
within reach. When cash was not
available at the post, he would get
money from the bank on notes in
dorsed by his brother officers. whose
names were responsible for any
amount they chose to place themselves
liable for.
Among the officers who were imposed
upon in this fashion are: Lieutenant
Manuel NJ. Garrett and Lieutenant
George c. Rockwell.
A few weeks ago his creditors de-
manded settlement. Upon investiga-
tion they found out to their amazement
that the $4,000 estate was a myth, and
that all the estate that had gone to
Mcdonald was two horses. This an
nouncement caused a great sensation
here, as the claims of his creditors
amounted to something like $4,000.
In the meantime Mcdonald is under
arrest at Fort Lawton. and his broth
er officers here are preparing to pay
the notes they indorsed for him at the
bank
Mcdonald came from the ranks of
the Twelfth Cavalry. He received his
commission as second lieutenant of the
Tenth Infantry, October 9. 1903. He
is "a years old.

For the past month the Southern Pa

many Japanese and Chinese laborers
upon the Carson and Colorado Rail-

heard Of the fortunes being made at
Goldfeld and made their way into the
camp. They went into the camp in
such large numbers and worked for
such low prices that the wages Of
white laborers was threatened and it
was found necessary to order them to

LIVES
LOST IN FIRE
Blaze That Destroys Los An
geles Mill Brings Death to
Mechanics on Second Floor

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 16.-Three men
were burned to death about s o'clock
tonight in a fire that destroyed the
Eureka Planning Mill at Sixth street
and Santa Fe avenue, East Los An
geles. The dead:
MARTIN L. TODD, aged so, assist

spread so quickly that within a few
minutes the entire plant was ablaze.
There were about eighteen men at
work in the mill at the time and all
escaped but the three who were
burned to death. 1t is not known why
the three victims did not make their
escape with the other fifteen men, but
1t is supposed they were at work on
the second floor and were cut off from
all means of escape before they real
lied their danger The bodies were re-
covered after the fire had been extin-
guished. They were burned beyond
recognition.
Three small cottages adjacent to the
mill were also burned. The total loss
will be about $4,000.
