seventh Cascade punched hits
enough to send two runs home and

moter. was arrested yesterday by De-
tectives Wren and Lord on a warrant
charging him with grand larceny The
complaining witness is Charles Sperry,
a mining speculator, who has an af-
fee in the Monadnock building, but
lives in Vallejo.
Sperry alleges that September %.
1908, Underhiu called upon him and
said he had discovered a rich mine in

taken from the mine The ore looked
rich and Sperry says he paid Under
hin Sl50 for it, but later discovered
that il was worthless, and had been
'doctored."

from her on a fake" mining scheme,
but when the case was called, she de-
clined to prosecute.
