Arreited In California. Adolph Bqerck, formerly clerk in the adjutaut's oliice at Fort Douglas and at one time secretary of the Rocky Mountain Moun-tain Lodge of Knights of Pythias, has been placed nndor arrest at Oakland, California, and awaits requisition papers pa-pers from this city. Adolph gained the affections of one Rosalia Biessy, a recent re-cent arrival from Fiance to this land of Zion, and Succeeded in securing from her 1000 worth of Swiss Canton bonds, under promise of marriage as is claimed, the wedding to have occurred October 29th. The money was secured in small amounts upon different occasions, occa-sions, apparently so as not to arouse the suspicions of Rosalia. The deceived woman received a letter from Adolph on the 18th lust., stating that ho was called to New York on business, and an indifferent letter following a few days later completely flustrated the unfortunate un-fortunate woman, rendering medical assistance necessary. Still a few days later a letter from Adolph pleading for more money with which to return to his darling came to Rosalia, It being postmarked at Oakland, California, but she did not propose to be deceived further, and by the advice of friends laid the matter before Prosecuting Attorney At-torney Eichnor and the police. A photograph and description of the cal prit was sent to tho chief of police at Oakland, resulting in his' being placed under arrest with a prospective trip to the "pen." It now appears that Adolph has wives in different parts of the country, including one at Los Angeles with whom he has recently beeu reveling. The prosecuting attorney, at-torney, together with Chief of Police Young and Detective Elknand deserve special credit in' successfully working up tho case. " . Before tirreuman.
