tional Bank of San Francisco for $2Sl, and asked for the money. The draft was numbered .36454, and was dated Oct. 18th last It was signed by James K. Lynch as cashier.
 With the draft Rowan presented a letter of introduction and Identification from R. G. Dunn & Co.'S office at San Francisco. Payment on the draft was refused, as Cashier Schwartz was not satisfied with the identification, and Rowan left.
 He walked up the street a few doors and presented the same draft to the Miners & Merchants bank which a few minutes later caused his arrest. When MT. Spiers asked Rowan for identifica- ! tion he stated that he was a travelling agent for Dunn & Co. of San Francisco, and showed letters from the company i to support his claim. Among these 1 letters was one in which the company was urging Rowan to hurry up his
 work, charging him with neglect of duty.
 ! After the arrest Rowan became very | indignant, and when taken before Jus tice Mcdonald asked to be allowed to send for Walter Douglas, general man. ager of the Copper Queen company. i The court detailed an OHlcer 10 go

TWISTED ENGLISH
How Foreigners Employ this lncom-
 rrehensible Language.

There are undoubtedly just as many freallish combinations in the English language to foreigners as English speaking people find in foreign lan- guages. and it is also true that for eigners laugh and enjoy the mistakes of English in an effort to speak their languages as much as the English do their attempt. For that reason there can be no harm in reproducing the following letter which was received by sam Seip, the cigar manufacturer, yesterday from a tobacco firm in southern Mexico. It might be well to explain that MT. Seip had written the firm, informing it that It's last ship ment of tobacco was short in weight, and the letter explains the weight shortage and also contains an offer to again resume trade relations. The letter follows:
 My Dear Sir: So much I am to ad mire for the weight that you marked in your polite letter of the 9th present sell you: l think you must compre- hend that the exported tobacco to from cold cline, it has waste; and moreover our lever it is too exact as so as the same that our weight that we did give you with the received of the Mexican Custom Flag and you re- ceived then.
 'Some body has proposed to me with nasty resolution IS loads of the same tobacco and if you want them, you can send me $2,5OO Mexican money and will make the authorization as soon as I received your answer. I let you know about the opinion of my dead ST. Father, that is the best ac- cord of tobacco come from San An dres Tuxtla and we will have in the market.
 "To be in expectation of your an- swer, by I will information the owner of the crops tobacco.
 Respectfully, yours truly, "A. & H. BLANCO." The above letter brought to the mlnd of gentleman who read it a let ter John Baggiore received from a ! friend of his wno lives in the hills near ! Flagstaff and who has not been in ! America from his home in Italy very many years. The letter. which is self i explanatory, is as follows:
 1 Dear John: Please keep watch out ! for him. My horse has run away and hope you are the same. JOE" Win the Ruby Flour Bread Prize!"

so learned that the man whose name was attached to the draft, James K. Lynch, is no longer cashier of the First
 National but it's vice president and does not sign the drafts now. Nor does the signature compare favorably
 with other signatures of MT. Lynch,
 now in Bisbee and known to be genu
 inc. There are numerous other cir
 cumstances that indicate the guilt Of
 the accused, one of which is that the
 man had hired a rig to drive to Tomb
 stone just before trying to cash the
 draft. The following is the story of his
 arrest as told by the Bisbee Review:
 The apprehension occurred at the
 Miners and Merchants during the
 morning hours. Paying Teller Spiers
 was on duty when a natty looking fel-
 low walked into the bank with a busi- ness like manner and presented a draft on the Chemical National bank of New York for $2S1. Spiers as soon as he glanced at the draft, was suspicious that it was not genuine. Telling the stranger to wait a minute, he stepped back to the desk of Cashier Hood and reported his suspicious. Mr. Hood i'm mediately stepped out of the back door and summoned Deputy Sheriff Doyle. WHO hurried lo the Danh ana entered at 1 the front door while MT. Spiers was | still entertaining the stranger. Upon 1 the appearance of the officer Spiers handed the draft back to the stranger
 with a refusal of payment, and as he ! did so, the officer placed him under arrest.
 Rowan arrived in Bisbee Tuesday night from Tucson, and put up at the i Copper Queen hotel. Yesterday morn | ing he presented at the Bank of Bis { bee the draft on the Chemical National

A CRATER CAUGHT
He Tried to Load up an Arizonian

Cashier F. ". Spears of the Miners and Merchants bank in Bisbee, on Wednesday caused the arrest of Chas. w. Rowan, a stranger, who attempted to load him up with a s2S1 draft on the Chemical National bank of New York, alleged to have been drawn by the First National bank of San Fran cisco. The signature of an officer of the last named bank, evidently a for gerry, was signed to the draft. After the arrest of Rowan a wire to San Francisco brought the statement that the check was a forgery and it was all

 During the afternoon officers search ed the baggage of the prisoner at the Copper Queen hotel where they dis covered a valise containing several blank drafts and a check perforating machine, which to say the least, look ed very suspicious.
