The latter horse was of course an odds on choice, the books holding him at 2t09. Locan opened at 10 to 1, wandered back to 20, and when a few sympathetic dollars found their way in on him the pen- cilers largely chopped the oddsto15. A stiff play on_Charles Fair's notorious sulker, Yo El Rey, the $27,500 son of Joe {ooker and Marion, forced his odds down from 20 to 8and 9to1. Lismore and Catch 'Em were lightly considered 1n the betting. When the flag fell, Lismore started out to show the way. Down the bac! stretch Yo El Rey shot to the front with a great burst of speed, leading Lismore half a length, after half of the journey had been traveled. The order of the leaders was unchanged as the stretch was reached. Logan was now looming up as a dangerous factor, the favorite to all appearances being hopelessly beaten. The old fellow soon moved into second place, and oppo- site the draw-gate had the race to all ap- pearances at his mercy. Yo EI Rey responded to Chorn’s urging, and Ballard ha(g‘m resort to the whip with Logan. As the wire was passed, the dark nose of the veteran showed in front, and he gained the verdict. 1t was the most exciting finish of the d The mile was covered in 1:4034.

A splendid programme has been arranged, and there | wiil undoubtedly be a crush. Wednesday is the closing day of the Bay District track. . It was expected that the Baldwin Hotel stakes to be decided on Saturday at Ingle- side track would be run before the close of the old year, the conditions stating as much.

Sportsmen who are interested in field trials and thoroughbred hunting dogs are now discussing the appointment recently made by the Pacific Coast Field Trial Club of gentlemen who will judge contests at Bakersfield on the 20th of this month. | D.M.Pyleof Bakersfield is well known to the sportsmen who have attended field trial meetings in past years. Heis a man of much experience and good judgment. | Consequently his awards have given gen- eral satisfaction. Andrew Jackson of this Cit, com- paratively, a young man in field-trial ex- perience, but he showed such excellent | judgment two years ago at Salinas in de- ciding the merits of some close and excit- ing races between pointers and setters that his friends then predicted that he would subsequently be looked upon as one of the leading authorities in this State on matters pertaining to field trials, W. 8. Kittle, the third man selected, has had a lengthy experience in field sports and it goes without saying that he can tell a good dog the moment ne sees one ‘“-quartered”’ on a hillside or “range’’ over a level piece of country. Mr. Kittle is considered the champion wing shot of the Country Club, and being passionately fond of dogs the Field Trial Club committee selected him as being about as able a rep- | resentative *‘in the saddle’ as it could find | among the many sportsmen at large. Some veople who are not members of the Field Trial Club, but who, neverthe- less, are very fond of the sport,do not hesitate to say that H. T. Payne, the Eng- lish setter man, has had much te say in the selection of the judges this year. It has been stated that Payne was a guest of the Country Club not very long ago and while admiring the beautiful landscape, Payne suggested to Mr. Kittle, so the story goes, that he would make an excel- lent field trial judge, and that after much persuasion Mr, Kittle consented to take to the saddle. The contests will be held near Bakers- field on a preserved country where birds are plentiful, and if the weather should be fine grand sport will surely result. The dogs that bave been entered for the trials are being well conditioned, and the owners are all confident of success—but then all dogs cannot win, not even in a field trial contest. is B e Institute of Applied Christianity. At a meeting of the Institute of Applied Christianity, in the Columbie building, last night, Dr. . K. King gave an elaboration of & scheme of co-operation which he calls “The New Government.” In brief, the idea is to base an organization, as & nucleus, on_ principles of love, justice and equality of rights, nll& then apply the recognized machinery of govern- ment to the organization and go into feasible business investments as & whole, the society to build up its finances from the margins of profit.

Holmes, Alias Dean, Se- cured $20,000 on a Raised * Draft. TWO BANKS ARE INTERESTED. Crocker-Woolworth .and the Nevada Bank May Have a Lawsuit Over the Loss. Either the Nevada Bank or the Crocker- Woolworth National Bank, the courts will probably be called upon to determine which, has been swindled, and very cleverly swindled, out of $20,000 by a shrewd sharper. who has disappeared Jeaving not the slightest clew behind for the detectives. A. H. Holmes or A. H. Dean, which are two of the names the swindler adopted, came to this City several months ago and represented himself to be a merchandise brok He opened a small account with the Nevada Bank under the name of A. H. Dean. He drew money from the bank on several instances, but invariably replaced it, and it is now presumed that this was simply a ruse conceived by himself in oraer to gain the confidence of the people associated with the bank. A few weeks ago he went to Woodland, ostensibly on a business trip, and during his stay in that city purchased a draft for $12 on the Crocker-Woolworth Bank of this City. The draft was dated December 13, 1895, and on the 17th of December it was deposited in the Nevada Bank, but it had been raised in the intervening days, between the 13th and the 17th, to $22,000. The check had originally been perfo- rated with a machine which was hereto- fore supposed to be a safeguard against the efforts of the most skillful crook. Dean nevertheless filled up these holes so neatly that it takes a strong magnifying glass to distinguish this change. He then erased on the draft the letters “Ive” from the word “twelve’” and wrote in a hand that can hardly be distinguished from the original the remaining letters and words necessary to complete the draft. After the letters “‘lve’” had been erased he added to the remaining “Twe” the letters “nty” and the words “two thousand dollars.” In the lower cornerof the draft are the figures $12.00 over a delicate scroll, but this wa: another cipher and doctoring the *1"” into a neat 7’ The draft was then reperfo- rated for $22,000 and t e job was complete. The check thus raised came to this City and was deposited in the Nevada Bank on the 17th ult. On the day following, the 18th ult., it was taken to the clesring- house and cashed by the Crocker-Wool- worth Bank. Dean immediately drew $20,000 of the $22,000, leaving $2000 as he said to be placed to his credit. He took the $20,000 in twenties in four bags of $5000 and although this amount of money is quite heavy it is evident that Dean was not seriously hampered in making his departure. fx was three weeks before a demand was made on the Woodland Bank by the Crocker-Woolworth Bank for payment, and then the latter institution was i formed that no such draft had been is by it. This fact led to a careful serutiny of the draft by experts and the fraua was discovered. Holmes or Dean is & man of me- dium height, of average build, with black hair and eyes and a black beard, rather short and of sallow compiexion that bore evidence of sickness or the use of some drug presumably opium. When last seen the swindler wore a long blue over coat with a velvet collar and a black crush hat. His address was deliberate and he seemed to bea man of great self- possession. Taking it all in all he might be called handsome. It is presumed that Dean has gone to Japan, as a steamer for that country has sailed since hisdisappearance and he often talked about the Flowery Kingdom, ex- pressing his opinion that he would like to reside there. President I. W. Hellman of the Nevada Bank claims that his bank is not one cent the loser owing to the honoring of the forged draft. “A man by the name of A. H. Dean opened an account with the bank some wecks ago,” said Hellman yesterday, *de- positing considerable currency. At times he drew small amounts, but always re- deposited the money and at times he added to_the amounts he drew when he replaced it in the ban 2 *On the 17th of December he deposifed a draft from the Bank of Woodland, paya- ble to the Crocker-Woolworth Bank. That check, during business hours on the 17th ult., was sent to the clearing-house for ayment and was paid by the Crocker- Woolworth Bank on the 18th. 1f, by mis- take, a forged check is sent by any one of the various banks to the Clearing-house and is paid and the mistake not discovered within a certain number of hours and the check returned to the bank from which it was originally sent to the clearing-house ceases and the loss devolves itself upan the bank paying the check. This being the case in this instance the Crocker- Woolworth Bank is the loser and we are not out a cent. goes {hrough the Clearing-liouse must be stamped under the provisions of article 17, section 2, of the constitution of the San Francisco Clearing-house, which reads as follows All negotiable paper deposited for clearance by the members of this association shall bear the stamp of the depositing bank. which shall clearly indicate the name of the bank, its Clearing-house number and the date of clear- ence. The stamp shall be for Clearing-house purposes only, and shall guarantee the validity and regularity of all prior indorsementson the paper so cleared, except the indorsement of an original payee of a certificate of deposit, and it shall not be construed to supply & missing indorsement. “Further provisions are also made re- garding the relation of the Clearing-house to the various banks. _Article 15, section 2, of the Ciearing-Louse constitution com- pletely covers the payment of the draft forged by Dean. and under this section we are not responsible for the loss, but the Crocker-Woolworth Bank is the loser.” Following is the section referred to by Mr. Hellman: Section 2. Errorsin the exchanges and claims arising from the return of checks or from any other cause are not to be adjusted through the Clearing-house, but directly between the members who are the parties to them; all checks, draits, notes or other items in the ex- changes found not good or missent shall be re- turned without intentional mutilation, or notice of dishonor given directly to the mem- ber from whom they were received, as soon as examined, or presented not later than two hours on ordinary days or three hours on col- lection days from the hour set for clearance in which said returned voucherswere exchanged, and the said member shall immediately refund to the bank returning the same the amount for which it had recetved credit through the Clearing-house for the said checks, drafts, notes or other items so returned (o it. “The Crocker-Woolworth Bank,” con- tinued Mr. Hellman, -*did not notify us that the draft was a forgery until'a couple of weeks after it had been paid; conse- quently it is their own errcr, and no one can be blamed but themselves, and they are the iosers. *We did not pay the money out to Dean untii the 18th uit., and if they had notified us according to tiie bylaws we should have refused payment, but, as itis, ‘we cannot be held responsible for an error on their vart.” Attorney Reuben Lloyd, who is the legal adyiser of the Crocker-Woolworth Banlk, is just as confident that the loss will fall ‘on the Nevada Bank as that bank’s presi- easily disposed of by adding | the liability of the bank sending the check’ “Every check sent by any bank which | | an electric railway in Springfield, Mass. | e e Cle e dent is that it will devolve itself on the Crocker-Woolworth Bank. “It is nonsense to presume fora mo- ment,” said Mr. Lloyd, ‘‘that our bank will be beld responsible for this loss or be I governed in this case by article XV, sec- tion 2, of the_clearing-house constitution, | as it would be impossible within a few hours to find out whether or not.such a draft had been bought in ‘Woodland, | which is guite a distance from this City. “The Nevada Bank is the innocentagent of Mr. Dean or Hol!mes or whoever the | man is, and through that fact they must stand the loss, as their stamp showing that the signature was genuine was on the | draft.” i It is evident from the opinions given by these representatives of the two banks | involved in the case that the fact asto | who is the loser will have to be settled by | the courts. 1f it comes to trial many | pretty technicalities regarding the legul-i 1ty of the clearing-house constitution will then be determined. Captain Lees was first notified of the forgery on Saturday night while he was at the banquet tendered to Police Commis- | sioner Gunst, W. H. Crocker of the Crocker-Woolworth Bank and his attor- ney being the informants. Captain Lees left the banquet and took them to his office, where they made him acquainted with the facts. The captain said last night that he had been busily engaged all day on the case. He was satistied that it was the work of professionals who did not belong here. ““There are certain things,’’ said the captain, “that I cannot give for publica- | tion. I got Dean’s bankhook in his office | and it shows the following deposits in the Nevada Ban ‘December 4, $: cember 13, $7' December 1' also_shows the following witi:drawals by | check payable to self: ‘December 7, $400; December 12, $700; December 17, $2200; December 18, $20,000.” This left a balance | in the bank to his credit of $1995.” The captain yesterday sent the follow- | ing dispatch to the Pinkerton Detective | Agency, New York: | A. J.Scott on December 9 bought from the Bank of Woodland, Yolo County, a draft for $12, arawn on the Crocker-Woolworth Bank of Lan Francisco. One A. H, Dean opened an ac- count with the Nevada Bank and deposited | this check to his account on December | 17, raised to $22,000, and the date changed to 13th. It was collected from the Crocker-Woolworth Bank through the Clearing-house, Dean having drawn his check upon his account opened at the Ne- vada Bank for $20,000. He asked for currency, but bank did not have it and was paid in gold | and carried it off.

Lytle, a boy, called at police headquarters and made a state- ment to Captain Lees and Detective Sey- mour. On December 17 he was sent for by the American Lator Bureau, 210 Powell street. He got there about 9 o’clock in the morning, and_after waiting | for ab He er took nim to room 56 in the Chronicle building. They left the office and walked to Will & Finck’s on Market street, where Dean | bought a satchel. Afterward they went to the Nevada stables and hired a rig for three hour: They drove through several streets till they got to the Occidental Hotel. went into the bar and remsined for about | fifteen minutes. Then they drove to the Nevada Bank on Pine and Montgomery | streets, and Dean went into a saloon and | had a drink. | When he came out of the saloon he | went into the bank and in a few wminutes | returned carrying the satchel, which was so heavy that Wiley had to help him in lifting it into the buggy. From the bank they drove to either 1329 or 1429 Valencia street, Wiley was not sure which, and Dean told him he lived there. He gave him a $10 gold piece to pay for the rig and told him to keep the change in payment of his first week’s wages. Dean told the boy not to be in a hurry in taking back the Tig, but to wait till the three bours were up and then go back to the office. He added that he might not see him for some days, as he was going out of town on business. As the boy drove away he saw Dean standing on the side- walk watching him, and after he was over a block away he turned round and saw | him still watching him. That was the last | the boy saw of him. | The boy went regularly to the office | every day, and as Dean did not show up he thought he had gone away to look after a patent, as he heard him talking about one. Yesterday morning the porter at the Chronicle building told him he had been ‘“beat,” as Dean had committed forgeries. | On the morning of December 18, while Dean was out of the office for a few min- utes, a gentleman called and asked for him. After Dean returned, the boy told him a gentleman had called, and he said he bad met him on the stair: Captain Lees will to-dav visit the neigh- borhood of Valencia street, where Dean told the boy he resided, and endeavor to find out something apout him. From the long start the forger has got, the police think 1t will be a difficult task 1o capture him. — e In 1835 Davenport, of Vermont, built NEW TO-DAY. roocsssossss WEDDING GIFTS ////// n ngage- ment Presents— | here are a few | suggestions.
