Check Expert Gets One Year
Frank Hamilton, the prolific check
writer who drew and cashed eight
checks for $»>4..'5<> each in one night a
short time ago. all drawn in favor of
Hermon Fawcett and purporting to be
pay checks from Rich & Harris, plead
ed guilty to pet it larceny Saturday
afternoon and was sentenced by Judge
Hildreth to serve one year in jail.
This was the best, or the worst, that
i could be done to Mr. Hamilton-Faw
cett, because there has been no grand
jury in Judge Wickersham’s absence
to indict him, and as the constitution
of the Knited States guarantees every
man accused of crime a speedy trial it
was not considered discreet to keep
him any longer without trial. He
could not be tried for forgery in com

L. L. BALES FINDS
REMARKABLE FOSSIL
Picks lip Petrified Snail on Chignik
Beach Having Diameter of
Eighteen Inches.
Among the trophies secured by L. L.
Bales on the Alaska peninsula is a
huge petrified snail of a dead geologi
cal age. Part of the specimen is
broken off and the remaining part is
almost circular, about 18 inches in
diameter. It weighs 04 pounds. Mr.
Bales took it out of the box in the
dock warehouse this morning and it
was photographed several times by A.
B. Lewis and Rev. L. II. Pedersen.
With the exception of the missing
part, which was apparently the head,
the specimen is well preserved and
rows of indentations or corrugations in
its surface are as clearly defined as in
life. It was found on the beach at j
Chignik. Mr. Lewis is of the opinion
that it belongs to a comparatively
recent period, probably tertiary or
even quaternary.
Another valuable specimen, far |
from fossilized, is t In* skin of a brown j
grizzly bear of unusual size, which Mr. j
Bales killed at Sand Point. The skin j
is ten feet long, and Mr. Bales esti
mates that the animal weighed 14001
pounds, or nearly that. He and Jim i
Howell tracked it up a mountain
where it had a lair in the snow. I’he j
animal merely walked away at a digni
fied gait when it saw them and they
had no trouble in putting rifle bullets
to a vital part.
Mr. Hales also killed four black i
bears around Sand Point and he has
their skeletons, including heads,
stowed away in barrels. The skele
tons were taken apart and the sections
packed carefully. Other boxes and
barrels contain fossil specimens of var
ious descriptions. picked up in differ
ent places on the Alaska peninsula.
Large orders for materials for rail
ways. which have hitherto almost ex
clusively been supplied by British
manufacturers, have been received in
Germany from Japan.
