A BIG SAUL OVEELOOKED

Confidence Men Neglect a Simple Ranchor With a Fortune on Him. Several confidence men around the police court yesterday were vigorously kieking themselves for having overlooked a good big trick when it was revealed that a poor, dilapidated-looking and apparently feeble-minded rancher named John Pomrebu had been knocking about the lower part of town all night with $1,788.20 in his pockets. About 4.o'cleck yesterday morning Officer Giasscock found Pomrehn leaning against a box car on the water front, apparently intending to climb into it. As Pomrehn, when questioned, could not give a very clear account of himself and his actions seeming suspicious, the officer took him to the station. Glasscock asked him if be had no money to get a bed with, and Pomrehn said yes he had money, but did not want to go to bed. He talked queerly, hardly comprehending what was said to him, with a stolid look of utter indifference upon his countenance. The officer thought be was a hobo and that he was safer in jail than roaming around at that hour of night. His surprise can be imagined when,a small fortune was fished out of bis pockets in the shape of certificates of deposit, notes and cash. He was given a hearing before Judge Glasgow and wore the same look of stolid indifference as when arrested. He said he had been living on a claim on the Stilláguamish for the past ten years and had come to this country from Germany eleven years ago, having lived in Nebraska and Oregon before coming to this section. His hands were very much swollen as if they had poisoned, and he could not give any reason why he came to Seattle. He looked thin and emaciated and apparently had worked and starved himself almost crazy. On being released and going to the jail office for his money, he paid no attention to Clerk Fleming while it was being counted out to him, and when repeated efforts were made in ,vain to get him to pay attention to the matter the police officers decided that the man was demented and that it was not safe to let him have so much money without informing his friends. Among his papers was a receipt from Thompson, Edsen & Humphreys, who were telephoned to come up to the station. A representative of the firm came up and said his tirm had a certificate of deposit for $600 on the suspended Washington Savings bank which it was trying to collect for Pomrehn, and he thought that perhaps the fear of losing the money had something to do with his derangement. He succeeded in persuading Pomrehn to go to the hospital for a few days, his money and effects meanwhile remaining at the police station. By this action of the police the confidence men were deprived of their prey a second time.

Dearborn et al., representing the Farmers' National bank, of Bryan, O., have filed a petition in the superior court against the Washington Savings bank, of Seattle, in which the receiver is asked to return $400 to them. It says that the Ohio bankissued in Hamilton four certificates of deposit for $100 each, which were presented to the Washington Savings bank and paid, It seems that Hamilton's indorsements were forgeries, unknown to the Seattle bank, and not discovered by the Ohio people till they had settled with the bank in this city, Receiver Sheafe has refused to pay the $400, and hence the potition.
