E. Willlams, father of Minnie ‘Williams, who was one of the Durrant victims, against Myron T. Holcomb, who disappeared recently from this city. According to Williams, who was at one time interested in some deals with Holcomb, he held an option on | the Pauba Temecula and Santa Rosa ' ranchos, valued at $25,000, under a contract with tue Cosmos Land and Water Company and was to receive from the company $5000 in commis- slon for the sale of the land. His cause for complaint is that Hol- comb, as vice president of the old Heron-Holcomb Company, promised to take the sale off his hands for half of the commission. Williams states that he paid Holcomb $3000, but that Hol- comb failed not only to sell the land but he allowed the option to expire, | and altogether he says that he is out the sum of $9250 on the transaction. The. Heron-Holecomb Company is also made a defendant in the action. In regard to the transaction the pres- ent firm of Holcomb, Breed & Ban- croft says that it has no interest in the matter, and in this connection Mr. Breed says:, “Whatever the transac- tion was, it took place before we took charge of and incorporated the present company. There was some deal on be- tween them, but the business did not come to us, and we are in no way re- sponsible for ft. CAODK CHEATS BANK CASHER BERKELEY, May 24—A flood of worthless checks has been turned loo: upon banks in Berkeley and Oaklan during the last ten days. The latest and most daring attempt of the crooks to get coin upon these forged documents was perpetrated last Saturday, the University Bank of Berkeley being the victim. The sum of _$50 was obtained on this 6ccasion and Marshal Vollmer was at once informed of the occurrence. He has been work- ing on the case. - The name of Contractor.J. H. Broad was used to defraud -thé University Savings Bank on Saturday. The bank’s paying teller, Joseph Mills, was handed a check on an Oakland bank for $50, signed by a name unfamiliar to Mr. Mills. He informed the stranger that payment would be impossible unless a person known to the bank should in- dorse it. “Do you know any prominent per- sons in Berkeley?” queried the bank of- ficial. “Well,” replied the stranger with the check, “I know a number of con- tractors—Kidder & McCullough and Mr., Broad, and several others.” “There goes Broad now,” sald Mills, as the contractor passed the bank. “His signature will make the check all right.” 'The stranger hurried from the bank and returned in a minute with what purported. to be Broad's signature in- dorsing the check. It was cashed at onee. The signature was found to have been well formed. Inquiry was made to deter- mine something of the stranger’s fden- tity, but he was an absolute stranger, apparently, for none, recognized him from the description provided by the bank people. Other swindles have been perpetrated.

The bullet entered close to the left nip- ple, barely missed the heart and passed through the left lung. Kahn's condition is critical. The explanation of the shooting given by the family is that Kahn was dressing to go to Stockton and that in changing the revolver from one pocket to the other it was accidentally discharged. The directors of the Bank of Oakdale held a meeting to-night and it was de- cided not to open the doors of the insti- tution in the morning. Kahn {s one of the most prominent men in the county in grain and financial ch cles. He Is about 50 years of age. The affair has caused great excitement In this county and in San Joaquin and Mer- ced counties, where Kahn has extensive interests.

There seems at present very little inclination to extend the road now in operation between San Francisco and the town of San Mateo and delay is the order of the day with those corporations that promised to build north from San Jose until eonnections were made —with the road that now terminates at San Mateo. There is much to suppert the assertion, howover, that the Interurban system, which extends between San Jose, Los Gatos and Saratoga, will soon bufld north of Palo Alto, leaving the long stretch Be- tween that town and San Mateo still without an electric road. The Interurban system is considered to be an adjunct ef the Souther acifilc Company and the proposed ex lon is viewed as an effort to shut out another corperation which has under consideration a project to con- nect San Jose, Palo Alto and the town of San Mateo. Were such an electric rail- road a reality it could very readily make a profitable combination with the San Mateo and San Francisco .electric road and complete a line from San Jose to San Francisco.
