Almy, Boden, Sac- ; Osgood & Lockford; ves, West v Brother: have been taken and the chances are the route. Among those going on the Alaska are W. Alston Hayne Jr. and a party of nine from Santa Barbara. Mr. Hayne is the County Supervisor from that part of the country and is h, San Francisco; Riley will be put together. All the stores and the lumber for the house will be loaded on her and then the entire party will go 200 miles up the Kowak River. When the house s erected all the provisions and stores 11 be placed in it and the miners will have then two or three months in which they can do their prospecting, The chances are that considerable gold will be found, as it was always in the summer months that the Indians mad their finds and afterward returned with the nuggets to Point Hope to buy stuff from the whalers. From Cape Blossom the Alaska will be sailed to Point Hope, which is only 135 miles distant, and from there will bring back to the Kowak River a sup- ply of coal for the river steamer. There is a coal mine at Point Hope and Cap- tain Cogan says that it is a very supe- rior article. Indians and dogs are there in plenty, so in that respect and also in regard to fuel the men on this expe- dition will be more fortun than those in Dawson City. The chances are that all the sailors engaged to man the Alaska will_desert in order to search for gold and in that event Captain Co- gan will bring the vessel back to San Francisco with an Indian crew.

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 19.—A good-ap- pearing man went into the American Exchange Bank at Fourth and D streets Tuesday afternoon, and, repre- senting himself as Frank McKeen, ex- pressed a desire to make a draft on the McKeen Savings Bank of Terre Haute, Ind., for $800. He explained to Cashier N. T. Horton that he was a newcomer here and expected to remain some weeks to enjoy the mild climate. His father, he said, was president. of the McKeen Savings Bank of Terre Haute. A blank draft was handed to the man, who went out. He came back soon af- terward and remarked that as he in- tended to buy a fruit ranch near San Diego he had decided to draw on the Terre Haute bank for his entire balance of $2800, and would make the draft for that amount. This was done and the stranger left. Before going, however, he told Cashier Horton that he intended to leave yes- terday morning for San Francisco and would probably have occasion to draw on the amount as soon as the money ar- rived from Indiana. “Could you oblige me with a check- book ?"” asked the man, pleasantly. ‘“‘Certainly,” replied Cashier Horton. “But you do not expect to draw any checks before the money is placed to your_ credit here, do you?” “Oh, no,” responded the stranger, with a smile. After the bank closed Tuesday after- noon the man calling himself McKeen went across the street to the Santa Fe ticket office and asked for a first-class ticket to Chicago and return, with Pullman accommodations. He told the ticket agent, George L. Baker, that he had been negotiating for the purchase of a ranch, but had changed his mind and meant to return to Chicago tempo- rarily. He expressed regret that the Exchange Bank was closed for the day and that he was unable to tender cash for the ticket. TUpon showing the check book, in which it appeared that he had $2800 on deposit in the bank, the ticket was handed over. Later in the day the stranger gave equally worthless checks in payment for a bicycle and an overcoat, and this morning boarded the north-bound train. Presentation of the checks at the bank this morning caused the cashier to wire to Terra Haute, when he re- ceived the reply that the only Frank Mc¢Keen known to exist was in that cify and had drawn no such draft. Chief of Police Russell was notifled and he telegraphed to Chief of Police Glass at Los Angeles, who arrested the alleged McKeen late this after- noon. Chief Russell will go after the man to-morrow. After the forgery was discovered to- day a photograph of a noted crook wanted by the Pinkerton Agency was resurrected in the Exchange Bank and seen to be an exact likeness of the stranger now under arrest at Los An- geles. It appears that the fellow’s real name is W. H. Geer, alias R. H. W. Darght, J. B. Bowen, J- R. Mott, R. A. Myers, George M. Miles and Edward- Lyons. He is believed to be one of the most dangerous confidence men in the country. ‘
