LIVELY SCRIMMAGE BETWEEN HOUSE PAINTERS
Arthur Bundy and James B. Anderson, colored
house painters, were before the Police Court
this morning charged with affray. Bundy is
rather tall and Anderson short. The latter
when he emerged from the dock into the court
room presented singular appearance. His,
hair, face and the front part OF his coat and
other clothing were covered with what ap-
peared to be whitewash, but on close inspec-
tion it proved to be white lead and Oil, and he
was covered from top to bottom. The testi-
mony showeS that they were employed to paint
the porch and doorway In house opposite the
Police Court, and this morning they had their
paint pots and brushes and were about to COM
mence work when dispute arose about the
cost of the paint, and the quantity In Bundys
bucket the latter thought did not tally with the
price charged for it, and dispute thus arose.
Anderson had been sent to buy the paint at the
store, and not rel1shing the insinuation that he
had appropriated some OF the money to his own
uses lie caught up the pot and ran away up the
street with it, Bundy following. On overtak-
ing him Scrimmage ensued, and In wreRching
the pot out OF his hand it tilted and spilled on
the steps of the entrance to another house
where they were. This provoked Bundy, and
he caught the bucket and douced the whole
contents into Anderson's face, and he was COM
pletely saturated with it. The court thought
Anderson had got his share Of the punishment
and dismissed him, and fined Bundy S5 and
costs or 20 days In jail.

A SPECIAL POLICEMAN FINED.-In the Police
Court this morning VIM. Hawkins was charged
with an assault and battery on Martha Ages
Hawkins is a special policeman, having re-
ceived his appointment last Saturday to do
duty on 18th street, and Martha Is colored
housekeeper living on E street, between 18th
and 18th northwest. The complainant testified
that she was about to chastise her little boy In
her own basement door, and Hawkins came
along and forbid her correcting the boy unless
she took him into the house and shut the door.
She replied that this was her own Child, and
she thought she had right to chastise him In
her own way. He said she should not, and
threatened to arrest her If she did. She paid
no attention to it, and went on to whip her boy,
when Hawkins caught hold Of her, pulling her
up the sharp stone steps, seven In number,
sktnning her knees. He took her to the station
house on K street, through the streets, she hav-
ing nothing on but Notwithstanding. Here she
was kept until released by the Lieutenant HaW-
Nns, in defence, said his object was not to have
the hue and cry Of the boy in public. The court
advised him to learn some common sense II he
had any desire to be an officer. He had no
right to interfere with this woman, and q flne
Of SO was imposed or 30 days In jail.

 You, to whom this card IS not addressed, and who, nevertheless, have the cheek to read it, are contemptible, ucprincipled sneak, and prying. pusillanimous puppy.

When a white man has adopted the above. and sundry other customs peculiar to the Mexican. he is said to be "galvanized ]" he who escapes this process being called "tender.iOOt."
 If. with all the disadvantages of crude and primitive farming, as above described, even the sMexicans and Indians can manage to get along here, 1t Is certainly feasible for white men, with improved machinery. not only to live, but to make money at the same business. The arabic lands are all level and of broad expanse, and well adapted to the use of machinery. Lodging 1" and rust are troubles hardly known and heavy crops are a foregOne conclusion whenever the land Is properly titled and the conditions are favora ble to be- gin with. The expense of clearing land in most places Is simply nothing. a heavy blow answering to grub up the sage brush, about the only shrubbery. Where the mesquit reaches the dimension of tree, the wood more than pays for it's removal from the land. Although fencing is sometimes resorted to where the clearing of the land furnishes the material, it is by no means necessary, stock ranges being confined mostly to the mountain districts, where farming is impracticable.
 As in California, many Of the farms here are encountered with mortgages, and their owners so burdened with debt that they find it difficult to make ends meet, being usually obliged lO sell their crops as soon as harvested. Whether this be caused by shift less habits or otherwise 1t Is a thing deeply to be regretted. as 1t throws almost the entire profits of the business into the pockets of speculating merchants, who buy at harvest time and rarely fail to make a profit of 200 per cent. on their purchases before the end of the season.
