Warrant Seived on a Leading Firm for the Collection of Money Validity of thebocuments Questioned Many Odd Features. A peculiar incident has come before the police.

Before the entire yarn is completely unravelled, some interesting developments may be disclosed. It. all arose from the serving of a judgment summons or a warrant lo collect money 011 the linn of McMillan Hamilton. Alexander street. Yesterday Moss Jonas, aiii'tioiieci' of Hastings street, received from Victoria the ex inordinary warrant in iiucstion, which appeared authentic, together with letters of instruction.

Mr. Jonas sent a man to the ollice of the firm lo serve the warrant. Messrs. McMillan iV Hamilton were greatly surprised and began an investigation. The linn consulted the book keeper but as nothing was known of the account and ar the name of the complainant added to the firm's surprise, the police were asked to investigate.

The letters which increased the sur piisc of the firm were as follows: Victoria, B. Xuly '4. 1IHK1. Mr. Moss Jonas, Auctioneer Vancouver, B.

Dear Sir, Will you please execute this warrant 011 tv Hamilton and give ihe money direct to the therein mcii t'oiied plaintiff? You do not need to scud tbe money or any account of it to the court either bore or there but the plaintiff to let mc know whin she gets it. Just give it to the plaiutitf, keeping your own fees. Add your recs to the bib when you collect it. If you cannot get il without, seize and sell. It docs not matter if the boss is in or not wheu you serve the warrant, bis book' keeper or clerk will do just the same.

Just wait half an hour and no longer; then i1' the money is not paid iu half an hour seize the stock. If you do this according to my orders 1 will give you more to attend to. These amounts do not pay nit' to come to Vancouver. For bail Lnsh iV Co. ipriuted.i By order of LASH Bailiffs.

Victoria, B. C. Court Victoria. Mr. Moss Jonas.

Auctioneer: Dear Sir, 1 find since I wrote to you re Mis, Isaacs vs. McMillan Hamilton that Miss Isaac has gone to Port Hammond. Therefore, if she is not at "II Abboti street. ancouver. B.

C. seiij the money when you get it by mail to Port Hammond. Register tight away as soon as you get it. Written for Lash ix, bailiffs. ARTIIl'R KEAST, Deputy Registrar.

The envelope continuing the documents was labelled: "Sent by mail from Na naiino under coyer to conductor of E. iV; railway with the request that it be posted to Victoria." The envelope has also the stamp of the "ollice of the P. u. Inspector. Victoria, Aug.

17th, Bum." In the Brst letter the whole sigo ijure was typewritten, while ArthtfrTvciict, Deputy Registrar." in ihe latter was ir.keil over a pencil delineare'ti. This was wiiat at first looked oibl. The young son of Mos Jonas declared it a forgery and his was afterwards conbrui' by the liieiiiner of the firm to whom the warrant Was presented. The Miss Isaacs mentioned is well known to freiiteiiiers or Stanley Park. Besides conducting a store at LMl Abbott street, she also prop.

Is a candy and apple cart to ami from the park. It is sqmI she is owner of lots on "Hastings street east. By her neighbors she is considered good liatiired. Among her friends she is known familiarly as "Pa ci'ie Slope," inn! tbe story of how she lo thus designated is somewhat interesting. In other days than these Miss Isaac was ipiite a belle and was a well known figure at dances.

At one of these assemblies she was decked out with a massive gold chain, ami it was remarked that the weight of it was enough to sink the Pacific Slope, which was Ihe nanie of a steamer that was then plying in Sound waters. Out of this jocular remark grew the appellation which it i' said the lady does not take serious ex eentoin. A World reporter called at 211 Abbott street this morning to see what Miss Is aacs would have to say in regard ft) the warrant affair, but he found the store locked up. and the pussy cat that nsii ally inhabits the front window amoiifr the flowers was absent too. From a neighbor, it was learned that Miss Isaac had gone 1111 to Port Hammond, in re she has relatives, a trip she makes quite often.

Tiie story, it will be seen, is not altogether disconnected, ami when the facts 11 vp finally laid bare, it may be found that the whole thing is the result of eccentricity. Of course, the signuture of the Deputy Registrar will have to be explained, and the tracing up of the letter and documents will be a piece ot wo for the Vancouver and Victoria police. W. J. McMillan, of Messrs.

McMillan Hamilton, was seen in regard to the matter, but be would have absolutely Holding to say. The matter, together with all papers dad been put iu the bands of their solicitors. "There is something very funny about the whole thing." Mr. McMillan remarked, as tin door was closing. Deputy Sheriff Shirley lias tlie case ill hand now, ith the warrants in iiucstion, and he will make an effort to ferret the particulars of the matter out.

The many friends of Scott Shearer, who for some years resided in this city, will regret very much his death by typhoid fever at Republic. Wash. The remains will arrive 111 Westminster on Wednesday, and the funeral to the cemetery in flint city will likelv take place ihe following day. Mr. Shearer for tbe past two years had bii engaged ill mining in (irand Forks and Republic, and his death is sad blow to bis relatives ill this city and Port Moody.
