AN ALLEGED BAD
|. CHECK MAN CAUGHT
YOUNG WILLIAM STERLING,
WHO CONFESSED TO PASSING
NUMBER WORTHLESS NOTES,
TO COUNTY AUTHORITIES.

William Sterling, the young man
who few days ago was arrested for
passing worthless checks, and who
afterward admitted that he was
guilty Of such an offense, was yes
terday given trial in the recorders
court and was bound over to the
county authorities. He will be given
a chance to explain to the solicitor
during the week what was his object
in getting by, at least temporarily,
with the worthless paper.
Sterling says that his home is in
Canada, and that he is of English
parents. The only reason he has yet
given as to the reason for his actions
was that he wanted some money and
that was the way he went about to get
what he wanted, according to the po-
lice.
One week ago several bad checks
were turned over to Chief Sanders
and that officer at once started out
with the description of the young man
which was furnished by several al
legged victims. To the chief, after
having been arrested, he very readily
stated that he had passed the worth
less paper, and that he was willing
to plead TO the charge.

PRELIMINARY AND
WAS EXONERATED
BOMBAY MAN WHO WAS TAKEN
IN CUSTODY ON A FEDERAL
WARRANT. WAS COMPLETELY
CLEARED AT THE TRIAL.

Samuel E. Berman, the Bombay
man who was taken in custody on a
warrant charging him with white
slavery a few days ago, and who at
the time maintained silence because
he did not want to have anything to
say until he could get hold of certain
information, it was said, ives yester-
day given a preliminary hearing be-
fore United States Commissioner j.
J. Sullivan, and was completely exon
Grated. There being no evidence
against him he was Immediately dis
charged from custody.
Berman was arrested upon infor-
nation which was furnished by a
man named Gordon from FIomaton,
but he had no trouble in making
bond, and yesterday, when a tele-
graph operator at Bombay arrived
here as a witness and presented GER
tain documents, there was nothing
found to have been against the de-
PENDANT, and the commissioner acted
accordingly.
At no time did he have any reason
to believe that he would not get out
of the trouble easily, but what he
naturally did not like about it was
the fact that the case had gotten into
the public prints.

COMPANION OF DEAD MAN
SAYS MANY SHOTS FIRED

| Ysleta, Texas, Jan. 22.-Douglas
Downs, companion Of Bert Akers, WHIT
was killed yesterday by Mexican cat
tie and horse thieves just below the
border of San Lorenzo, Chihuahua
declared today that five Mexicanc
fired two hundred or more shots al
them. He said neither he nor Akers
was armed.
Downs said the Mexicans who killed
Akers first fired point blank at him
| (Downs) but missed. Downs then hid
in a Mexican rancher's chicken coop
where he found flint lock musket
With this he prepared to defend him
self but the slayers abandoned the
chase.
Downs was found early today al
the home of Mrs. J. d. Murphy, sis
ter of Mrs. Akers. He lay in bed as
he told the story of the shooting.
He told of locating the house where
the cows were stolen from Mrs.
Murphy's ranch were found. They
had been re-branded and were dis
guised in other ways. FREDERICK
Duran greeted Downs, Bert Akers,
and the Mexican detective Juan Bar
rios, when they came to the house.
Later he went back into the house,
saving he wanted to speak to his
brother. Very soon four Mexicans
appeared on the roof, Downs said,
and began shooting at Akers and him.
Downs fled across an irrigated field,
mounted on a. pony, but Akers left
his horse and tried 10 escape on foot.
t"The field was soft from recent
rains" said Downs, and my pony
was almost up To his knees in mud
and Akers in boots was laboring hard.
For Gods sake wait he said to me
as he drew nearer and / pulled him
up on my horse with me.
"A heavy-set Mexican, Bernado
Duran, in the meantime had gotten
hold of Akers' horse near the corral
and was coming after us bowling like
an Indian and shooting at every
Jump. Ny pony carrying double
load, jumped one irrigation ditch.
Another came in sight almost in
stantl3. At the second ditch the
pony fell. I went out of the saddle
and started afoot, but Bert jumped
into the saddle. The Mexicans were
popping at US from every side.
81 was aiming to make for cover
ON foot, but when saw Bert slip
into the saddle I said well if you ride,
/ ride too and / took flying leap
and swung up back of Bert on my
own pony again. Instead of cutting
across fields, Bert headed for the
road leading to Clinique crossing on
the other side Of West Yslanta and

reaching the border and the Mexican
took after him.
"Then I ran full tilt about a mile
and came plumb into the house Of a
Mexican rancher and hid in his
chicken house for an hour. A boy
finally came and told me nobody was
coming and said the best place for
me was at the ranch Of Mr.. Smiths,
an American, about half a mile
away. I threw away my coat and
ran. Just after / reached the Smith
house, Mexican boy came riding by,
shouting that some Mexicans had
killed a, 'Gringo' because we had vio-
lated an old Mexican custom that for
bids prying into private corrals. We
had however, obtained the permission

rails.

Italian Steamer
Was Libelled In
Sum of $4,000

Alleging breach Of charter party
the firm of Rosasco Bros, charterers
of the italian steamship Avanguar-
dia, yesterday, through their attor-
neys, Watson & Pasco, libelled that
vessel for her full estimated value,
which was $3.50 900. The vessel, ready
TO start for Galveston after having
been Communicated by the Italian
government, halted. in the stream and
win probably remain for some time
until the case is amicably settled, or
else until a very heavy bail is fur
nished.
Allegations are many IN the bill of
particulars which was fled IN the
United States court yesterday morn
ing. It is, among other things, rep
resented and alleged that the steamer
had been engaged for six months
period, and that the Pensacola firm
had IN all good meaning, met the de-
mands of the owners Of the steam
ship in question. Procuring the
Avanguardia, as a fixture" for at
least six months, it was represented,
preparations were made by the plain
tiffs to afford the steamer the most
rapid dispatch possible, and upon the
vessel reporting here several days
ago, cargo had all been assembled
and the plaintiff was all ready to hold
up their part of the charter party.
It is additionally represented that,
upon his arrival here, the captain,
as agent for the owners, refused to
take cargo offered by the plaintiff,
this refusal of course being done
after the skipper had been notified
that the Italian government had given
notice that the vessel was to be taken
over for government service. Upon
the refusal of the ship to receive such
cargo, it is asserted, plaintiffs, from
having entered into contracts for tim
Der and lumber, ETC., have suffered, or
would suffer, great losses, hence the
action in the United States court for
reimbursement.

Lorimer built up political career from that of news boy and shoe black in the Windy city out of sheer ability and acuteness of intrigue. His breaking his way into the Sen ate was sensational in the extreme but only because his methods were a little more brazen and moro dam. aging by their openness than those which were practiced by quite number of his colleagues. Lorimer in those days was famous. He had money, he was always welcome. He was the invited guest at the mos! plutocratic mansion in Chicago and high and prominent republicans were pleased to be seen sharing his company and receiving his smiles
 The world looked mighty good to Lorimer and Lorimer looked mighty good to the great world of rich men.
 But there came time when after his removal from the Senate the bank of which he was head also went under and Lorimer at the time of his trial appeared without a single one of his friends beyond his former secretary Monaghan who re- fused to desert him.
 The very papers which had upheld him as politician, howled for his punishment as a bank wreckcr ana yet of all the guilty ones wh; wrecked many banks in the Wind! city. Lorimer alone was guilty mere ly of neglect of work as President His aequittal was a foregone con clusion, but that didn't prevent tho interests which he had upheld turn ing upon him like pack of blood ! hounds clamoring for his punish ment. Surely the methods of Big Business arc not attractive.
