MANY UNPAID CHECKS WE'RE IN

PROMOTER GETS $500 fine
Uvsoehce Showed That Accused Man
"h Habit of Handing Around
Bank Checks Without Ne

Guilty said the Jury that tried
F. .. Olson Thursday afternoo, he
the great railroad promoter who had
faiien INTO the grievous habit OF
handing around bank chac'rs witholt
keeping very good track of his bank
account.
Olson was defended by Attorney
Kelly, who put up an excellent f.ht
for mis- client, hut the evidence ives
30 strong against Olson that there
was no hope from the start. Three

for 1870. The paper was abou. woln
out and had been presented 90 Olson
every time Mr.. Fagerburg ran across
him. After repeated threats to put
him in Jail Olson paid $50, but the
500 is still due.
Charles Lofgren of the Star gro
cery had check for $140 and testi-
fed that Olson dug up the money
abo,t month ago and paid it after
Mr.. Lofgren had procured warrant
for Olson's arrest. c. T. Neill of
the Greeley National was present to
test " that he had turned down or
refused payment upon large num-
ber Of checks signed by Olson which
had been presented to his bank with
out funds.
.yhe case was ludicrous through
6iie. as the lawyers got mixed up In
similarity of the names. all of which
we're Swedish. There were Olson
Swanson, Johnson and Lofgren. In
speaking to Swanson they would call
him Olson. and Johnson, the saloon
keeper who cashed several checks
for Olson, was called Olson. 1t hap
pened so often that Swanson got mad
and left the room.
On the day that Olson got his suit
from Swanson, where it had been In
hook for year. it was shown by Oh
sons bank book that the balance
was $76.13 That was on April Z
and it was shown by cancelled checks
that Olson had drawn some 500 on
this balance on the 9Th and 9th, but
they were not cashed at the bank
untilt the 9Th. In reality Olson
balance was about $26 when he gave
the tailor check for $50 on the
morning of the 18th before S O'CLOCK
II was then shown that Olson took
the first train for Denver and drew
checks for the balance of $26l5 d
and when Swanson's check reached
Denver the following day for collec-
ton there was no money
The jury was out but few MN
utes and returned a verdict of guilty
and the Judge assessed the minimum
fine of 5000. which means three
months IN ia. unless the promoter
promotes the money.
Should Olson get out, warrant
awaits him from Denver sworn TO pg

Human ut Least.

An American player who fulfilled
several London engagements under the
late Sir Henry Irving tells story Of q
young man employed as the tragedian's
dresser when Irving was the lessee Of
the Lyceum theater. The young fellow
had been recommended for the place
by Clarkson, the celebrated wigmak-
er. Irving was as exacting In matters
of makeup as he was in everything
else relating to stage equipment, and
he succeeded in impressing Clarkson
with a deep sense Of responsibility.
Shortly after his entering upon his
new duties Clarkson called upon his
former employee. As Garrison had
noticed that he did not get as many
orders for wigs from Irving as he for
merly did, he had begun to suspect
that the dresser was accountable.
"Are you making Sir Henry's wigs7'
Garrison demanded without prelimi-
nary.
'Sometimes."
do You call that a wigr' sneered
the caller, pointing to an article on
tho dressing table. do you mean to
tell me that you believe that thing

THE APPEAL TO CAESAR.

In this matter of the tariff, the ap-
peal to Caesar for the whole of the
house and for one-third of the senate
comes next year. The people are
Caesar and they will declare at the
polls what they think of what is now
being said and done by their represen-
tatives in the two houses of congress.
And let it be remembered that the
men now making tariff history are well
aware of this fact. They know cleo
tion day, and are bearing it in mind.
They are laying up treasure-or think
they are-against that very interesting
accounting. From the people they came
and unto the people they must return
If their record is approved they come
again; if not, private life-for awhile
at least. and maybe forever after-is
their portion.
Nearly all of them want to come
again. Office. and office in Washington
particularly, is one of the strongest oil
lures. We hear of 1.-The itch for Office
There is such a thing, and once a mar
catches it he is likely to scratch al
the rest of his life. He scratches Il
get office. and. if he succeeds, scratche:
then to keep it.
We may all be well assured, there

FIND SKELETONS IN
fRQNDALE EXCAVATIONS
Bones believed to Be Those of Indians
Who Frequently BattIed With
Alaska Tribesmen.

PORT TOWNSEND, May 10.-Sev-
eral skeletons and other human relics
were found in Irondale, the new man
ufacturing town on Port Townsend
Bay, by Pete COyne of this city, who
is constructing new roads. in the new
town site. The bones, it is said are of
Indian origin and found on the ground
where the Chimacum tribe gave battle
to Alaska Indians, who raided their
habitations frequently coming from the
North.
Judge Joe Kuhn of this city, who is
authority on these matters, states that
in the vicinity where the relics were
found some 500 Indians were killed in
one battle forty years ago. The find is
very interesting and some of the citi-
ZenS here have communicated with
Prot. Meany so the interesting articles
may be preserved in the state museum
at the University of Washington.

| fore, that the tariff history now being
| made is very largely, if not altogether
for home consumption. The man, re-
publican or democrat. whose qualif-
cations are interested III a particular
industry and want it protected is vot.
ing for protection Sugar, rice, wool
hides, coal, iron ore, lumber, what you
please, all are being remembered be-
cause the people producing them insist
that they must be taken into the &C.
count in the revision of the schedules
The senator or representative who re-
jects the demands of his home people
digs his own grave; and few politicians
indulge knowingly in that employment
They do not mind playing the part Of
the old sexton" but prefer to bury the
other fellow.
The record in this particular of the
late William L. Wilson of West Vir-
GINA is rare in our politics. He was q
highly accomplished man, and his con-
stituents, with every reason, were proud
of him. A convinced revenue tariff ad-
vocate he wanted all raw materials put
on the free list. This touched his peo-
pie on the raw, so to speak, for coal
mining was their principal industry
Nevertheless, he favored and voted for,
| putting coal on the free list.
That vote sealed Mt. Wilson'S fate
politically. He lost his power at home,
and after accepting for a short time
office at Mr.. Cleveland's hands retired
altogether from politics, closing his
days as an educator in Virginia. His
course was very consistent and cour-
ageous, but not wise as gagged by the
rule of practical politics. AS his people
were for protection, and believed that
policy helped them, they properly and
naturally sent a man to congress who
| agreed with them and who in congress
would vote for their interests.
