ROSSLAND EVENING RECORD, SEPTEMBER 30, 1899.

NO INDUCEMENTA.

Neither, Special Rates nor a Special
‘pfain cane Sechiéa.

At‘the meeting. ‘of ‘the’ commtittee
‘appointed by the Board of Trade to
arrange for ‘Rogsland’s excursion to
Spokane, held last evening in the
new court room, the secretary, Mr.
H. W.'C. Jackson, ‘read a telegram
from the general agent of the Great
Northern, in which he states that he
has written to Mt. Ruff, the local
‘agent, explaining that it will be'im-
possible to give Rossland a special
train, owing to scercity of equip-
ment onthe Great Northern and
Northern Pacific, because of the
volunteers returning from the Phil-
ippines. He also says it is impos-
sible to grant any further reduced
rates than have been granted, as
this would not be fair to other or-
ganizations located on the com-
panies’ lines. The Great Northern
thinks the rate of $7.75 very reason-
able.

The Rossland Board of Trade had
hoped to secure a rate of about $6
for, the International day excursion,
and to secure a special train, leav-
ing Rossland about'7 a.m. With
this inducement, the committee felt
confident that they could make up a
large list of passengers, and many
would have attended on Interna-
tional day, even ata little incon-
venience, in order to swell the
number. As it is, with no induce-
ment whatever, those who visit the
fair will do so when it best suits
their arrangements. The whole
matter has been left with the com-
mittee and it may be that some
member will be instructed to pro-
ceed to Spokane and arrange. the
matter.

has been suffering about a month
from rheumatism of the optic nerves
has so far recovered as to be able
to dispense with the bandages.

ostracised the doctor, but instead
had endeavored to get ‘Dr. Reddick
‘every time a physician was needeul,
tbut once when he could not be found
fhe had called i in another doctor. He
said tha reason Mr. Beamish was
'pursuing him so violently was’ be-
cause he had refused to support him
for chief of the fire department.

To Mr. MacNeill: Beamish had
been informed by the witness that
he did not consider him a competent
man for chief of the fire department.

Barr and Bell. He knew the regu-
lations pertaining to the police force
and had tried ‘to carry them out.
He had never had Mitchell under
arrest tor selling whisky to Indians.
As far as the charge against. Mitch-
ell of keeping company with a cer-
tain woman in the ‘*Row” was con-
cerned, he had sent him to that
house on several occasions ‘to
information about the various houses
in the ‘*Row” and on Lincoln street.
No report had been made of immor-
al character about any member otf
the force. He remembered the case
referred to in the evidence of Webb,
and was positive that the man had
been brought before the magistrate
and that Webb had been repri-
manded by the magistrate for ar-
resting the man for vagrancy.
The system of collecting fines was
then gone into and the methods ex-
plainied.g§ Mitchell was specially de-
tailed to find out the new women in
town,

The only time he had ever said
anything to the commissioners about
Mitchell was when Mah Hong had
spoken to kim about the $45. The
only time he was ‘jolly’ was at
the time the Elks were here. So
far as the obstruction referred to by
Ald. Hooson was concerned he had
personally told Mr. Watson to re-

done later. He had recommended
Mitchell for appointment on the
force because he had been recom-
mended by Mayor Scott and two
aldermen. :

Mitchell

charges made against Mitchell in
Calgary, he was chief of police
thereat thattime. Mitchell was hon-
orably acquitted of the charge, and
warrants are still out for the men
whom he (the chief) had always sis-
pected of the crime. He had never
known Mitchell under any other
name than Mitchell. So far as
Mitchell’s work as a detective was
concerned, it had been of the most
valuable kind. He could get infor-
mation better than any man in
town, The only complaint that had
been made to him prior to the in-
vestigation had been by Robert
Barr, who had been mad ‘because
two men, who were afterwards
arrested and fined, were not ‘allowed
to play any percentage games ‘in
Barr’s place.

He had heard of police, receiv-
ing money for privileges but ‘not in
Rossland. The only outside pro-
tection that had been asked for, had
been by W. H. Bell, who wanted to
run a wheel in his place. At that
time the two were friends bit later
became at outs on of this

had asked for two
month’s leave of absence to look
after some claims he had and had
been told it was impossible to grant
it. Mitchell then said he would
quit. He had made no report on
the “Scotty” Urquhart case. There
had been an_ understanding that
certain games should go on and
these games were poker and such.
Each successive mayor had instruc-
ted him to let things run as they
had been running before. So far as
the alleged assault on Mah Hong,
he had taken him by the collar be-.
cause he made two differenc state-.
ments, On that occasion he had.
lost his temper. He was pressedto
say why he‘had not taken Bell and
others by the collar as well as the

been asked to ‘allow Morrison and

and Mitchell were on the most
friendly terms. She chief: said a

manufactured and the police had

three‘months. Among the evidence

Mr. MacNeill objected to this state-
ment but the chief reiterated it and
stated he had received two apolo-
gies from Mr. Bell, the second of
‘which he had accepted. ‘As'to the
complaints made by ‘‘Scotty” about
the jail, Magistrate Jordan had in-
vestigated it and found it un-
founded.

The charges alleged in the infor-
mation were then read over and the
witness catéegorically denied them
all until it'came to Dr. Reddick’s
‘charges. 'He'said that ‘the ‘doctor

About 11 o'clock last night an
alarm of fire called the fire depart-

the corner of Spokane street and
First avenue, kept b Mrs. Moore.

A‘ pan of grease had’ een upset and
caught fire, but the blaze was ex-

tinguished before the department
arrived. The damage will not ex-
ceed $25. i

At 11:45 this morning an alarm
was turned in from Chinatown and
both teams turned out. The « fire
was ina Chinese “hop” joint and
started from the stove. The chem-
ical was called into requisition with
Frank French as engineer, and the
flames were extinguished in a few
minutes. The loss will not exceed
$25 and, of course, there was no in-
surance. Inside the building were
complete opium smoking outfits,

in the same first-class manner as
the Clarendon here. Mr. A. J. Fay
is the manager and is ably assisted
by Mr. Jack Hardy.

Inland Revenue Returns.
The returns of the inland revenue
office here tor the month of Septem-
ber show that there was collected
on account of spirits, $1,915.20;
malt liquors, $756.67; cigars, $60;
leaf tobacco, $12.70, making a
total of $2,744.57- %

The Police Court.

In the police court this .morning
the case of Mrs. Vermyllin, charged
with selling corsets. without a li-
cense, was continued until Wednes-
day morning.

Richard Carlow was fined $5 for

night.

of New York. Mr..J. A. Macdon-
ald has been retained on ‘behalf . of
the bank officials, who are here,and
Mr. A. H. MacNeill for the defense.
The matter of extradition will be
fought bitterly, and if the decision
is against the defendant it will prob-
ably be appealed to a justice of -the
supreme court before the papers are
certified to Ottawa. In the mean-
time Mr. Hinckley, or Morris, is at

remain there until the final decision

Charles A. Hinckley, alias Char-
les S. Morris, who is accused of
having stolen $97,000 from the
West Side bank of New York, is
occupying comfortable quarters in
the Hotel Kootenay, and is care-
fully guarded by ex-Police Officer
A.J. McMillan. In the meantime
messages are coming from all parts
of the United States asking for his
portrait. -The. officials of the bank
who are here say that they were
never able to secure a portrait of
the accused, as when all ofher offi-
cials of the bank were photographed
in a group Hinckley declined to be
included, and no photograph of him
is extant so far as known, though
every effort has been made since the
robbery to obtain one.

‘The extradition proceedings are
going on apace and as soon as
Judge Forin arrives will be taken
up. According to the statement of
one of the friends of the accused the
proceedings will be opposed on the
ground that under the old treaties
theft and embezzlement were not
extraditable offences and that the

One of the features of the case is
the fact that the bank did its clear-

Eno robbed of $3,000,000 and that
when Eno skipped the West Side
bank had to do its clearing direct.
Before, however, the West Side
bank was allowed to become a
member of the association the man-
ager of the cléaring house insisted
on going through the books and it
was just at this time that Hinckley
left New York. He did not follow
