The first thing Mr. Hanna did was to rent a beautiful cottage on Petaluma avenue, which he furnished lavishly. In a short time a daughter named Mrs. Cherry and her husband came to live with him. Mr. Hanna opeéned an account with mak several of the leading merchants and deepened the excellent®impression he had made at first by calling around and settling accounts punctually on the 1st of the month.

He suddenly was that he (Frey) let so many townspeople know of his record in_the past It was asserted by Hanna that he formerly lived in Stockton, and he pro- ed an intimate acquaintance with x-Governor Budd and other well- known persons of that city. He was accustomed to speak of his business dealings as if he were worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and there were few men here that would not at one time have indorsed his note for any amount of money. SANTA ROSA, ‘March 4—C. B. Hanna came to this city, presumably | about two years ago. | from Stockton, He was known as “Colonel” Hanna and a veteran of the Civil War, hav- ing served as an officer in the Tenth Massachusetts Regiment. He asserted that he was a cousin of Mark Hanna and proved his claim not only by cor- respondence, but by securing a pension through his relative. When Hanna left here in October last he left unpaid bills aggregating hun- dreds of dollars. He was always prom- ising to pay these bills, and said he ex- wa pected to get “back pension money” through the influence his cousin Mark. He departed without paying Otto Fox, a dry goods merchant, the sum of 0 he had owed’ for several months. D. Leppo, a furniture dealer, to whom about $100 was due, never got a cent of that amount. George King, a grocer, also lost about $50 by trust- ing Hanna. Small bills of Fred King, a stableman, and Frank Ross, a wood and coal dealer, were left unpaid. Leppo dld not lose the full amount of his bill, taking a number of articles of furniture back before Hanna left town. \It was wholly owing to his relation- ship with his cousin Mark that Hanna secured any credit at all. At one time he was arrested and placed in jail for drunkenness. When he was searched all that was found on his person were a nickel and a quart bottle full of whisky. —_— WILL SELL GOODS DIRECT.

SAN RAFAEL, March 4—When Henry Young, the alleged fire flend of Tiburon, “jumped”” his bail and fled the country prior to his preliminary examination be- fore Justice Rodden, he evidently desired to put as many miles between him and | the scene of his alleged crime as possible, | Sheriff Taylor received information to- day that Young is in British Columbia, and will take steps to have him brough{ | back, if he can be apprehended before he | leaves there. | | The information reached Taylor through | a triend who knew of a letter that Young had sent.to a bosom friend in Tiburon This bosom friend grew talkative after partaking of too much wine, and the se- | cret came out.

It is proposed by the companies to charter a steamer for the accomodation of the committeemen and make elaborate arrangements for their trip across Nicaragua and Colombia.

Mouritzen of California. NEW YORK, March 4.—A special to the World from Boston says: William War- ren Morrison, 17 years old, works in a | printing office in the Federal court. The boy has received indirect information from California that he is heir to $20,- 000,000. He knew about this yesterday. He was at his work to-day, clothed in his right mind. He trotted around with proofs, answered the telephone, ran errands and performed the various duties of a printer's ‘“devil” just the same as usual. The story is that young Morrison’s greatuncle, Frank A. Mouritzen, one of the wealthiest residents of California and the owner of vast estates in Denmark, has died and left the bulk of his property to his youngest grandnephew, a son of the iate John Peter Morrison. p st NAVAL CADETS NAMED.
