Warrants Out for James and II. +.
McNichOlas, Charged With Fraud
in Connection With Mine Near
Galice.

Cleveland, Ohio, Sept 26.-It was
learned tonight that Postal Inspect
ors Idland and Clement of Portland
had warrants for James and r. F..
McNicholas, brothers, charged with
using the maiIs wrongfully in pro-
noting mines in Oregon and Idaho.
The warrants were issued recently.
The affidavit to the warrants is
sued said NJ B. Dewey of Conneaut,
Ohio, received by mail false informa-
tion regarding the Old Channel Hy-
draulic Mines Company property
near Galice, Ore. The brothers are
said to have sold stock in several
other mines in the west in the last
eight years. They maintained offices
in Cleveland until two years ago.
After the stock was sold in the six
gold and three lead companies for
total, it is said, of one million, the
dividends ceased, the stockholders
claim, and an attorney went to Ore
gon to investigate the properties.
His report was turned over to the
postoffice department.
Portland, Sept 26.-Postoffice In
spector Clement stated tonight he eX-
pected to arrest the McNicholas
brothers within few days. He be-
lieves he has located the men, but
will give no particulars of their al
| legged wrongful acts.
! 1t is believed that the James Nc
! Nicholas mentioned in the above dis
! patch is the same man who operated
| in Medford about a year ago as
James H. McNicholas. He organized
company to purchase the Ray Bros.
brickyard at Portland, and after SELL
ing considerable stock, it is said,
abandoned the plan, leaving behind,
/ it is alleged, number of bills, and
people whom he had interested in
the organization of the brick com
pany. Afterwards Medford men in
| terested with him conferred with
Prosecuting Attorney Mulkey rela-
tive to taking action and the matter
was settled out of court.
Among those most heavily interest
ed with McNicholas were George E.
Boos, j. H. Mccarthy, now of Port
land, Contractor Ivy, and others,
merchants and business men, includ-
ing the Ray brothers Most of these
secured the return of their invest
ments.
