THE DANGER OF GIVING NOTES.
A'ew Phase in the Methods Used by
Swindling Piano Dealers.
THE CLEVELASD MAN IS IN PRISON.
Notes Duplicated by Forgery Paid by
Pet sons Whose Names Were
Signed to Them. " .' '
". Cleveland, O., April 13. The case of
B. S. Barrett, a swindling piano dealer,
novr in the penitentiary-, has made any
amount of trouble, and suits upon notes
jrivenby his customers for pianos bare
brought out a new phase in the swindle.
The genuine notes and some of the.
forged ones were sold by-him to the
Euclid Avenue bank. Barrett kept
forged duplicates of nearly all the notes,
and when his customers, ignorant of his
having sold them, called to pay install
ments he gave them receipts and indor
sed the amount on the back of the notes
held-byhim. The bank sold the notes
to 1. C. Ellis after Barrett's flight, for
$500 and charged $15,000 to its profit and
loss account. Ellis began suit on sev
eral notes, alleging that as the paper
was held by the bank, payment to Bar
rett could not be regarded as payment of
the note. One victim..Mrs. Cunning
bam, who holds receipts from Barrett,
showing that she has paid $470 for a $450
piano, was sued on a note ;for $130,
which may have been" forged. Two
notes against her were held by ElHij one
for $140 and the other for $130. A dis
pute arising at the trial as to whether
one of the notes was not genuine, Jt was
decided to take Barrett's deposition at
the penitentiary. . Barrett on ; being
shown the two notes, tore :up the one
for $140, which he declared a forgery,
and handed back the one for $130, which
he said is genuine. , The attorneys spoke
of the snarl as something frightful, and
piano buyers who failed to keep their
receipts are in much trouble. In one or
two cases heard of, Barrett's customers
took up notes bearing their own forged
signature without discovering the fact,
while the genuine notes were held at the
bank and are now being sued upon.
The individual notes are generally for
amounts from $50 to 150, but the aggre
gate is over $15,000. , .
VlUanloas Collection of Horses. ; -. .
Cleveland, O., April 13. This morn
ing in answer to an advertisement for . a
horse to represent the drunkards faith
ful brute in' the play of A Temperance
Town, about a dozen of the most villain
ous looking horses ever seen in. the city
were hitched in ' front of the Lyceum
theatre "Theywere ringboned," knock-
kneed, spavined and dirtyf . Most of
them had heaves and spring-halt. Their
ribs protruded like the hoops of -a. flour
barrel and only one or iwo of them could
see. Up to noon the manager had not
selected an animal quite disreputable
enough to suit his purpose. The animal
nnany cnosen will penorm an important
role in the new play. . -j ;

.Portland, 'April 13. The outsider
who has a slim idea of the expansion of
this city,: will be better informed when
an incident is related which occurred to
the east side firemen about 4 o'clock yes
terday morning.1 Some pet son sent in a
still alarm to chief Holmes, that a fire
had broken out in Holladay's addition.
The companies ran to" the division, hav
ing heard thatthe Holladay bell had
been rung.;. After looking some time for
the fire it was learned that a fire in Van
couver had occasioned all the trouble.
Some one bearing the' Vancouver bell
supposed it was nearer home.- The fire
men returned to their respective houses
minus their usual happy dispositions. .
' Emerson Bennett." '
Philadelphia', April ' 13. Newspaper
discussion upon the death of Walt Whit
man has caused the Iaqttirer to refer in
a general way to "other .noted writers,
among them Emerson Bennett."- People
rarely near nowadays of Bennett, yet he
was widely known twenty years ago as a
novelist, his1 fPrairie' ; Flower having
reached a sale of 100,000 copies. He is a
veteran of seventy and lives in Philadel
phia; -'Mr!.; Bennett is- jBtill' a" prolific
maker of 'manuscript.' ' He writes" all
night and sleeps all day, as George Sand
was fond of doing. ;.,. .;, - ! '

St. Locis, April 13. The Republic,
speaking of the South American troubles
says today: "Three South American
republics are in various stages of inter
nal revolution. The white-winged dove,
especially assigned to look after the
peace of South America, must be " a
sparrow."'

Maxitowoc, Wis., April 13. The loss
of the Manitowoc Manufacturing com
pany by the fire yesterday will aggregate
$300,000. The special feature of this
business, school .furniture and opera
chairs, is now in such demand that they
will rebuild and renew business on a

The Real Thins;..
Astoria, April 13. Boom, boom,
boom, is the uppermost word and
thought here now, since the croakers
have subsided, with reference to railway
matters, and added additional thousands
to the valuation of their corner lots. - If
the present state of thingsxiontinues, we
expect to hear of investment excursions.
gotten up 4n the boonx centers of the.
west, for the object of visiting Astoria, to.
hnd out what the real thing is like. .

- Chicago", April 13. In the fury of the
late devastating cyclones Chicago has
marvelously escaped. At the Palmer
house today' an Oregonian was relating
the exemptions of his state from such
scenes'and he closed by saying Chicago
has the finest and the biggest business
houses, but said he : "The occupants of
upper floors in Chicago's sky-scraper
buildings must feel light-hearted when
they see a cyclone coming across the
prairie."- -
' Southern Floods. :
New Orleans, April 13. The destruc
tion of human lives and property by the
floods in northern Mississippi is appall
ing., Hundres of lives ; are lost. Last
night one man rowed several miles in
the dark on the river with twenty-six
bodies he picked up. The flood came
suddenly, and no one was prepared. All
sorts of crafts are being improvised to go
to the rescue of the survivors perched on
the highest ground without food or shel
ter. The loss of property is over $i,000,-
000. The citizens of Loundes count v.
will petition Congressman Allen to ask
government aid, as their own means are
inadequate. The loss of livestock is be
yond computing but will be enormous.- '
A Christian Burial. '.'
Wixlock, Wash. April i3.--The mur
derous whisky fiend Dick Hancock, who
attempted to Kill hia wife ; and perhaps
thinking he had done so, immediate! v
afterwards killed himself, by sending a
bullet, into has miserable heart; was
given a christian burial according to his
just deserts'. As a visitor to Winlock
puts it : "It was amusing in . a "ghastly
way, to see the way in which the- people
up there vented tbeir indignation upon
the body of Hancock, whom they" would
have hung again had there been any use
in it. They just put him, dressed in an
undershirt and trousers, into a common
dry-goods box and placed him under the
ground without the least semblance of a
funeral service."
Wyoming; Cattle Thieves. . .
Caspeh Wyo., April 12.- Fighting
between the invading army of detectives,
employed by the big cattle companies,
and the so-called rustlers now seem- to
be general along Powder river, the army
being broken up ' into- squads. .The
militia has been ordered to be prepared
to march to the front immediately. ' A
man from Riverside reports that Sheriff
Angus, of Johnson county, swore In 150
deputies and went out to arrest the' force
sent out by the cattlemen, and that the
sheriff tried to take them into custody.
Twenty-eight " of the regulators and
eighteen of the depaties were killed.
Every man in the town is' a walking ar-.
senal, and the excitement is intense.
Doc. Williamson, from Big Ho'rnr basin,
reports a great fall of snow there Friday
night, and that it is impossible, for the
army to get in there unless they go.in on
snowshoes.- lie says they don't expect
any trouble in the Bonanza, part of the
basin. ': '':'.-"::;. ;t'-;. . v.;

of a gang of incendiaries and anarchists,
who have been starting fires in tenement
houses in Brooklyn since January, was
first demonstrated today.'; Two men are
under arrest." '-'-One -of the accomplices of

to bum the property for a percentage of
the insurance money.' ' - - '

Chicago, April 12. George Wilkes,
King of the Forgers, is dying in Bellevue
hospital, New York city. Thirty years
ago his rich uncle secured him a posi
tion in the bank of Brown Brothers &
Co., New York. He soon became a fav
orite on account of his talent, but was
finally discharged from his position of
trnst because of evil associations. He
then started on a bold career of crime,
which earned for him the sobriquet of
king of the forgers.' For twenty years
he was leader of a gang which baffled
the police of every country in the world,
and hundreds. of thousands of dollars
were secured by the criminals through
all kinds of forgeries. King George came
to Chicago, his old home, in 1882, when
he and his gang committed a number of
forgeries on bank? in Joliet, Lima, O.,
and Kansas City. .He made $15,000 on '
one deal. Detectives secured the para
phernalia of the whole gang, and the
passers of the checks were found, but -King
George eluded the officers. In
1881 Wilkes was the leader of a band of
thieves . and forgers in Milan, Italy.
They forged and tried to place in circu
lation bonds and bank notes worth $1,
500,000. Wilkes was arrested and : sent
to. prison. .. He secured his release four ,
years later by turning informer against
his associates. In 1886 be was arrested
in New York lor swindling banks -in .
Rochester, San Francisco, Cheyenne and
Butte City, but managed to escape con
viction, and went to Paris to lose his ill
gotten money, as usual, by gambling.
King George has been a victim . of the1
morphine habit for years. A policeman -found
him lying unconscious in a vacant.
lot in New York city Thursday, night. '
borne enemy had assaulted him. He
was taken to the" hospital,' where he is
now dying. - -

'. Representatives of the Flowery King
dom are now alarmed over the Chinese
exclusion bill. Their . threats, did not
create the desired reaction. It would
not be surprising to find a . proposition
for a-new treaty, coming from China. .
This treaty will be drawn up on the lines
of the Bayard treaty, which, was rejected
by the Chinese government on account
of its stringency. ' .
,, A well intended kick has been sent in
to the office of the bureau of navigation,
for allowing the Mohican to be docked
in ; Esquimait . Commander ;. Ramsey
said that the. navy; department -was not
aware that the Mohican was in the. dock
until informed by her commander, whq
was doubtless ignorant of - the fact that
there was a drydock at -Tacoma as were
the officials of the navy department.
When the Mohican broke her . false keel
it was simply a question whether shtf
would return; to San Francisco, 800
miles, or proceed to Esquimau. The
vessel, of course, ' put into- the nearest .
'known port, where there was a dock.
Tacoma should advertise. .
