UPT0 POLICE

NOW
Peculiar Transaction
in Celestial Gam
blers' Case.
RECORDS TELL STORY

It is now up to the police
department to explain what
became of the $3.50 of for
feited bonds posted in Chin
ese gambling cases of De
cember 28 last.
A total Of 5000 was post
ed as bail in three cases, yet
only $3.50 has reached the
city treasury. The men
who posted the bonds, two
Chinese and a Jap, left the
city soon afterward, and
never appeared to ask for
the return of their bail
money, which was forfeited
to the city.
The celestials caught in
the raid were Wong Sam
and China Jim, and the Jap
was II. lsometa. They We're
brought to the police sta
ton, where they were
booked for gambling. One
hundred dollars bond for
each of the three men was
turned over to the desk
man, Officer Pitts, who re-
ceipted for the money.
The following day, when
the daily police trial calen-
dar reached Justice Mann's
court, the record shows that
the amount of the bond was
first typewriter 500 in
each case, but afterward
crossed with a pencil and
the amount $50 written
above in pencil in each case.
The $50 was forfeited to the
city, while no account is
made of what was done with
the other $50 in each case.
There is no note that the
bond was returned to the de-
PENDANTS, as no appearance
was entered by them.
In this connection it may
be remarked that Officer
Pitts, who was on the desk
at the time, has been re-
duced to the rank of pa
trolman and started yester-
day to again walk a beat.

BOSS NASH AND
RAILROAD WORK
Something About Story of How the
Railroads Lined Up Their Side
for Franchises.

When tho city council took its
famous stand Of terminal rates or
no railroad franchises, II was said
at the time that it was a move in
the interests Of Jim Hill or else it
was clever scheme to put the new
railroads "up against it,"
1t was matter of record that the
Ostrander amendment asking for
terminal rates had barely slipped
through the committee of the whole,
where it had been buried for year.
While there was no record of the
stand of the individual councilmen
on the question, it was known that
they had all along regarded the ter
minal rate clause with Indifferent
attention.
Hence, when the city council, a
few weeks later by unanimous vote.
decided to ask terminal rates, some
of the old timers who follow politics
closely had reasons to be suspi-
cious.
One of the first steps taken after
the action of the council was the
formation of citizens committee,
