4 FICTITIOUS CHECK
 ENORMOUSLY NEGOTIATED
The Operator Did Not Know How
 Easy" Phoenix Is.

A man who said his name was C. N. Wilson employed some headwork in getting rid of a fictitious check. If Phoenix to realize on such checks he Phoenix to realize on such checbs he couldfhave saved himself great deal of unnecessary mental effort Still, his scheme is an ingenious one, possessing the charm of novelty.
 The other day he stopped at house on North Ninth avenue where he saw a sign: Rooms for rent" He stopped and inquired if that meant light house. keeping rooms and when he was told that that construction might be proper ly put on the sign. he said he would like to look at the apartments.
 The rooms met his approval. He said he was d carpenter and had just come from San Francisco. accompanied by his wife whom he had left at a down town hotel. He expected to remain in the city for several months. He was sure that his wife would like the rooms and he accordingly engaged them.
 He went down town after his wife and stopped at the Wakelin Grocer

RIVERSIDE VISITOR
 SCORES THE SALOON
Strongly Advises the People of Phoe-
 nix to Vote this City Dry"
To the Editor of The Republican.

To the Editor of The Republican.
 Sir:-That Phoenix should be voted dry" at the coming local option elec- ton is the firm conviction of August Haeberlin of Riverside. California. who has been in the city several days look ing after his local property interests.
 MT. Haeberlin is one of the most inn portant orange growers of the River side section and for several years cash fer of the First National Bank of that city. He was born in Switzerland, and has been a student of the salop ques- ton on both sides of the Atlantic
 Having been born and having grown to young manhood in Europe, and having spent over fifty years in the United States as soldier, workman and business men, with my experience and observation among almost all classes and conditions of people, il is hard for me to admit that the saloon business is even a debatable question: said Mir. Haeberlin last evening, just before taking the train for Riverside Tt can only be disastrous to the best interests Of all who indulge in the blighting habit which always makes men worse and has no redeeming fea- ture in the upward struggle of man.

company where he ordered groceries
 of the value of s3.40. They were to be
 sent to the Ninth avenue address. In q short time he returned to the rooms
 and said that he would put them in or der before he brought his wife out. l He borrowed d mop and d broom and for the next tep minutes he was the busiest man in the second ward. While
 he was so engaged the boy arrived with the groceries
 Wilson discovered that he did not
 have enough s,";Ill ..hance io pay the
 bill but he was relieved tn recollect that he had q len iolllr .;h-ck on the Phoenix National Bank drawn by John Smith Go. He offered that in pay ment. The delivery man saw no req san why it should not be accepted Mir Wilson was prosperous looking man and appeared to be permanently domi- Iciled. The check was taken and Will son was given $6.6O in change
 In short time Wilson pronounced the rooms to be in proper shape and he would go down after Mrs. Wilson. He must have encountered difficulty in finding her for he has not since been seen by anybody interested in his movements.
 There is some trouble about the check. The particular John smith by whom it appears to be signed has so far not been singled out from among the other John Smiths with which the United States and Great Britain abound
 Though it has been stated that this scheme is d novel one, it is rather a variation from another which was worked in Phoenix one Saturday sev- eral years ago The operator in that case was a stranger who said that he was about to start a hotel at Morris town. He went about town buying such things as he would need, paying for them with checks each of which was somewhat larger than the pur- chase. He bought stove, a saddle and bridle, blankets. dry goods, various kinds of hardware, groceries from three or four stores, two hundred pounds of ice and twenty five pounds of ice cream, beside many other articles His trade was distributed along Washing ton street most impartially. Hardly a merchant was overlooked and all the goods were ordered shipped to him at Morristown.
 On Monday morning it was discov- cred that the checks were fictitious. The signer of them was unknown at the bank on which they were drawn. In- quiry at Morristown brought out the information that no new hotel had been started there and the oldest citizen had heard that none was projected. But the warehouse at Morristown was found to be 'clogged with freight from Phoe- nix consigned to an individual whom nobody knew. The merchants got all their goods back; that is all except the ice and ice cream for this transaction took place in midsummer.
