MINER IS ROBBED
Of COLD STOCK
CERTIFICATES WORTH S11,OOO
STOLEN
Bunko Men Are Working a Clever
Fake on Dupes Eager to
Buy Ore at Cheap
Rates

William Dunlap, miner from Tono-
pah, New, reported to the police last
night that he had been robbed of GER
tificates of stock to the value of $11, 900.
The stock was issued on the Montana,
Western and Midway mines.
Dunlap says the stock certificates
were left in his valise at his room and
must have been stolen while he was
absent yesterday, during which time
he failed to take the precaution to
lock his door, He has been stopping
at rooming house on Hope street.
near Sixth, but was unable to give the
address.
He has no idea who could have been
the robber, as he says no one had
knowledge of the presence of the pa
pers in his valise. The detectives, how
ever, are tracing men who have been
in the old miners company a great
deal since he arrived in Los Angeles
a few days ago, and 1t is thought
probable that some of these, who claim
to be mining brokers, may know much
of the loss of Dunlap's certificates of
stock.
The police have received numerous
complaints about similar robberies and
bunco games worked by pretended
mining brokers and agents and are de-
termined to clean out all of them
Thursday night a man showed a piece
Oh TOCk 10 sergeant VI DeleCllNeS Nelly
which apparently had an abundance
of gold cropping from the crevices.
To all appearances it was a valuable
specimen of gold ore and the detective
marveled at it. But the man touched
his tongue to the seeming vein of gold
and the glittering metal was effaced.
II purchased that piece of rock for
$780, he said, from a man who
showed it to me as specimen of ore
obtained from a certain mine in which
he was seeking to interest me. 1 con-
graduated myself on securing the ore
so cheaply and exhibited it to many Of
my friends, all of whom, like you, mar
veled at the abundance of gold shown.
But I took the ore to an assayer and
he laughed at me. Why, that is simply
an extra clever specimen of salted
rock he said. 1T is not worth more
than 10 cents, for you see it comes
off when dampened-it is merely pasted
on with the white of an egg

HANDSOME WIDOWWINS POINT
Bluffs Police Officer Into Making Him
Turn Cow Over to
Her
Snecial to The Herald,

Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, Jan. 4.-Patrolman
Thomas Borden was argued out of the
notion of taking a stray COW to the
pound today by a good looking widow,
who owned the animal. The COW had
wandered from Seventh street and Lin
den avenue to the hospital grounds at
Tenth and Linden, where it was found
by the officer munching on pile of al
falfa which by rights belonged to the
hospital bossy. Borden tied a rope
around the animal and had led her sew
eral blocks toward the city pound when
he was overtaken by a woman on BIZ
cycle. She demanded that he release
her COW.
"But she ate lot of the hospital
cows alfalfa" answered Borden, land
she ought to be arrested"
"Tit for tat's all right" responded
the widow. "That hospital cow has
been loose nearly all of the time and
she's eaten twice as much of my alfalfa
as my Jersey did of hers. So you'd
better not do anything to my COW If
you're not going to take that other one,
too"
The policeman handed his end of the
rope over to the woman and she led
the animal back toward her home
while she rolled the bicycle along with
the other hand.
