follows:
"Your letter of Inquiry under date of the

case No. 90.710, civil department. Since
then, however, this case was appealed to
the supreme court of this state. The judg
ment of the superior court was reversed,

that garnishment proce«.Mllngs are auxili

charged. (Kelly vs. Ryan, 8 Wash., &W.)
A decision was also rendered by the su

the clerk was not entitled to It for the

"I am of the opinion that these deci

Charlee Allen, who waa road supervisor
la district 4. known aa Inglewood. was
charged ia Justice Mo£iwain's court laat
evening with forgery. A warrant waa is
sued for hi* arrest, hot It will be a dim
cult matter to find h;m. If the report re
ceived by Alar ant Prosecuting Attorney
Wilnhire la owe. Alien la alleged to have
skipped tte ooeiatry and to have skillfully
concealed Ma whereabouts.
Tte oomplaiat against Allen eharces
him with foralna C: M. Aafman'a name to
a county warrant for M. but thla is only
one of numerous alieaed eases aaeinsi
hte. Mr. WUahira aald that he had not
bee* able to ft aa accurate eetimate of
the amount *f money Afiea la to
have obtained from th* county tfjr fraud
ulent means, bat that K would amount to
* moderate sum at the Mast calculation.
Immediately after tte proceed:&a* in tte
Justice court a letter waa aoat to the coun
ty treasurer asking him to refuse pay
as ant of ths following warrants, owing to
iafermatlon la the possession of the pros
ecu Una attorney that they were fraudu
lent:
Road and bridge fund—4.lW, i'B, C.83,
U4B. Road fund—l.M2. 4JBO.
Tte story of alien's allagad misdoings
was brought to the attention of Assistant
Prosecuting Attorney WUshlre by B. J.
Blomskog. BSomskog waa a political op
ponent of Alien. Allen was successful. As
near as can be aacertalned this applies to
tte election aoat preceding the one held
laat fall.
Blomskog told Mr. Wilshlre that he be
came convinced that Allea waa not doing
right, and consequently set about investi
gating the matter. Re also said that be
fore the affair reached a head several
otter people in the district combined their
knowledge with bis in order to get at the
"straight of the business." They found,
te said, that Allen waa collecting money
from the county for work that had never
been done. Beveral instances were found
where men were credited with work tiiat
they had not performed. Once Blomskog
questioned Allen about It, and be replied
that even if the men did not do the work
be did it, and thus actually earned the
iuxio.
Mr. Wilshlra learned from Blomskog
that it was a custom in the road district
for the supervisor to turn In time for all
th* men and receive the money himself
from the county. After this he would pay
th* men the amounts due them. When
the pay roll would be mads up at the end
of the month each man would assign, in
his own handwriting, bis money to the
supervisor.
This system, combined with alleged for
geries. made it possible for Alien to collect
money for work that nad never been done.
Mr. Blomskog gave one special illustration
of the method said to have been followed
by Allen, as follows: A man worked
three or four days in a certain month. At
the end of the month he assigned his
claim. The next month he did not work,
but his name appeared on the roll just the
same and the money due him was appar
ently assigned In due form. The forgery
came in where the assignment was made.
Allen, it is claimed, would assign the la
borer's claim by a few skillful, or perhaps
unskillful scratches of the pen, draw the
money and pocket It. Unless something
happened to call this particular laborer's
attention to what had been done he would
have no occasion to investigate. He was
not losing anything. The district waa th*
special sufferer.
Blomskog said that he hsd investigated
the doings of Allen, and thought that the
state was justified In proceeding against
him for forgery. Mr. Wllahlre was satis
fied from the presentation of alleged facts
that Allen had been guilty of crookedness
and Issued the complaint.

-What's ta your dotheci Jack? Hold
oa a minute?" Deputy Customs Inspect
or Prank P. Loftus laid a detaining band
on the shoulder of Jack Meyers, fireman
cf the steamer Boca He. It waa 7 o'clock
laat night, and the steamer waa just get
ting in from Victoria. Meyers was about
to jump to the wharf from the lower
deck.
"There's nothing te my clothes,'* ho
saOd, but his face was white.
Loftus passed his hand over Meyers'
coat. "Come, Jack," ho aald firmly:
"you've got dope on you. Give It up."
The fireman sullenly complied. There
were eight tins of opium each containing
half a pound. These be had cleverly dis
tributed about his person, and without
cloee ecru ting no one would have sus
pected his valuable burden.
"Tou won't arrest me, will your* said
Meyers pleadingly. "I wouldn't have
brought the stuff over if Td thought you
would arrest me. I'd have thrown the
tins overboard first. Don't arrest me,
don't."
"Duty is duty." was tha response;
"you'll have to come with me." The
smuggler eras turned over to Deputy
Msrshsl Quliter, and will have a hearing
today before United States Commissioner
Emery. The opium was locked ia the
safe at the custom house and will be sold
at auction.
inspector Loftus tea been the customs
Inspector oa the steamer Rosalie for
many months and It la his business to
see that no dutiable goods ar* smuggled
to the American side from Victoria by
thoee on the Rocaii* Hla poeitlon la far
from a sinecure, for smugglers arc pro
verbially clever at hiding valuables. The
flremaa who was arrested last night hss
been on the Roeails about six months.
Before the boat left Victoria each morn
ing Jack Meyers found it necessary to
go up town. He aald he want up for a
drink. The customs officer thought it
strange he sever patronised the bar on
the boat. Xt was not natural, this early
morning desire to drink at some uptown
saloon. So te began to auspect, and as
he watched Meyers each day hi* sus
picions grew stronger. Yesterday morn
ing the fireman's coat had aeveral bulges
in it not made by skin and bona He had
entirely too much In his pockets for a
fireman. Loftus sent a message to the
Seattle customs house asking Customs In
spector Thomas Delaney and F. M. Terry
to be at the Arlington dock when the
Rosalie landed so that in case he missed
the smuggler as he left the boat they
could get him on the dock. The arrett
ad related waa the result.
It was thought that Meyers had been
bringing over a few pounds each day. but
whon Loftus told him he had intended
to make the arrest before, Meyers an
swered that it would have been no use
as it was the first lime he had brought
any over this week. Meyers said he bad
bought the opium of the Tal Tuen com
pany for 16 a pound. The dope would
bring at least IS a pound here. On eight
tins or four pounds the fireman's profit
would have been t*. a very tidy addition
to a day's wages.
These Tvro, With Sterns Signals,
Bake Sesdogs Shako Their Beode.
Yesterday was Friday and the 13th
day of the month. Above the weather
bureau floated storm signals. Marine men
looked frcm the calendar to weather sig
nals and shivered. What a combination.
Unlucky Friday, unlucky thirteen and a
storm raging outside. No wonder the
fishermen bugged their huts and tidp
masters postponed their sailing dates.
Along the water front were many old
who had the most perfect confi
dence that wrecks were being made ev
ery minute on the coast. They would
joint to the skurrying clouds and shake
their heads. "It's a living gale off the
cape," they said. A "living gale" la
something decidedly terrible. It is the
most common expression heard on the
water front when something descriptive
of a heavy blow Is needed. It conveys
the picture of waves running mountain
high, flapping canvas, docks washed
by wind and water, blue-nosed,
damp sailors holding on by ropes to keep
from blowing away, and all the thrilling
sights of a grand storm at sea.
The day wore on, and yet came no news
of disaster. The old seadogs actually be
gun to wear looks of disappointment, and
when night settled with no reported
wrecks, they mumbled "Wait till tomor
rer."
A Benttle Finn Gets a Contract for
Government Work.
The contract for building the govern

Mr. Brown returned here on the last
Al-Ki, and will be ready to go north again

The dock will have a face of 100 feet
and a depth of 2$ feet. The coal shed

Ballad «paa to Brtsg a Dead OH.
■am— Bock to Ilia d l*e
osliar Cvotoaa.
Some very peculiar ouctcaaa timing the
Chines* o€ this city cam* ta light last
evening when Ah Sing wse found stretch
ed at full length on the door of a cheer
leas little room on the top floor of the
big Wa Choag Building on Fourth avenu*
between Main and Waahington
streets.
Ah Sing, like a majority of Chinamen,
tea a fondness for the "pipe." last even
ing about I o'clock he "hit tte pipe" in one
of tte laany secluded corners of the lower
part of the building. It is Impossible to
give aa accurate statement of where he
emoked, because the Chinamen have suc
ceeded la transforming this building into
a regular labyrinth for the purpose of
fooling inquisitive police officers.
After finishing his smoke Ah Sing went
to a room on the top floor. So far as Cor
oner Awksm oould find out Sing was ap
parently in good physical condition when
fas started up stairs. A short time later
some of his friends entered his room and
found him stretched out at full length,
insensible.
Three Chinamen want tearing down
stairs and through the streets to Dr. W.
A. Shannons office in tte Bailey build
ing. All he could make out of their mik
waa that a Chinaman waa sick. He went
down to the Wa Chong building and took
a look at Sing as be lay on the floor.
'There is nothing the trouble with that
Chinaman." said the doctor: "he is dead."
Then the doctor called op Coroner A-*-te
am and passed the case into his hands.
Tte Chinamen Insisted that Sing was not
dead, but in a condition brought on by his
indulgence In opium.
On* Chinaman suddenly appeared on the
scons with a live duck. This was the sig
nal . for a great huobub. Finally the
duck's neck was stretched out and on a
swoop of a Keen knife severed it. As
quickly as possible Sing's mouth was pried
open and the bleeding neck was inserted
between his teeth. The idea was that the
blood from the duck's body would bring
him to his senses. However good the sys
tem may be In China, it did not work facre
and Sing simply became covered with
blood.
Coroner Askam turned the corpse over
to Undertaker Butterworth and gave In
structions to let the Chinamen keep vigil
for two days. It is expected by Sing's
friends that within two days he will come
cut of his condition, which either is death
or so closely resembles It that Dr. Shan
non and Coroner Aslcam have been fooled.

to amp, as they might in war time. They
were the average lot of city men—from
tonka, law offices, stores, shops, etc.—the
•am* aa compos* the majority of the vol
unteer companiaa of the country at large*.
Wa report of the march Dr. H. J.
Williama. the regimental aurgeon. aaya:
I cannot but expmsa my enthusiasm over
the success of the exp«4iUon. At ttrat I
feared the men would not b* able to with
stand the hardship* of such a march in th*
hot month of June, but Captains B*U and
Stevens had studied the subject and
thought differently. Of the titty-three
man—merchant*, clerks. students. etc.—
four were young men whose occupations
seemingly unfitted them for the effort, but
they actually came into camp in better
condition than those who came by rail.
" hlle there wwe cases of illness in camp
among those who cams by rail, there was
not a case among those who marched.
Ths distance oovered was about afty-four
miles.
"There is one point of a purely medical
character on which I wish to comment,
namely, the use of Vino Kolafra (prepared
by the Brunswick Pfcarmacal Co.. M will
torn street. New York), which bad been
furnished to the companies and was em
ployed during the march. After mar oh trig
two hours the men were halted and two
ounces of. Vino Kolafra administsred to
each man. Then the merch was resumed.
"In a few moments all sense of fatigue
and discomfort passed away, the step was
brisk, and the men full of life. The cir
culation quieted down and the respiration
became steady."
This preparation had been tested by Cap
tains 81event and Bell for several weeks
prior to the march. In order to satisfy
themselves that it had no deleterious or
reactive effect. Captain Stevens savs:
"In the recent practice march by my com
pany. the Macon Light Infantry, and the
Macon Hussars, both of the Georgia Vol
unteers, Vino Kolafra was used with very
beneficial results The men were clerks,
etc.. not possessing the stamina to stand
much fatigue, yet, thanks to Vino Kolafra.
the was accomplished with very
littl» discomfort or weariness. I feel as"-
sured that by its use the Intense exhaus
tion so often following such labor will be
entirely done away with."
Captain Bell trlves the same account o(
the march, and remark* that no reaction
whatever could be perceived from the use
Of Vino Kolafra.
The above facts suggest that physicians
might, with th« aid of Vino Kolafra. place
under marchinr orders alt that class of
persons who suffer from lack of exercise—
who are too fat or too weak to get the
good out of active muwcle*. The whole
some stimulus of Vino Kolafra would put
these folk In motion and show what an
cellent thing Is life on legs. The nodical
Journals recommend It for nervous, fidgety
people, and all who suffer from Irregular
heart or disordered nerves. It Is the tonic
par excellence In convalescence.
