He Win Most Likely BE Lot on with

The police committee, consisting
of Councllmen Tull, Davidson and
Dueber, met yesterday for the pur-
pose of partially examining into the
conduct of Officer Besse at d recent
burglary. The officer had pre-
viously surrendered his star, but rs
IA matter of form the committee sus-
pended him from duty pending the
investigation of u charge of incom-
potency which they ordered Chief
Warren to make against MIR. Besse.
III IL probable that Oiiicer h essc,
who has now been taught good
lesson 10y experience, will be let oil
with u rcprimand. Considering
the fact that he was new officer
and has always hitherto becn very
attentive to his duties, his brother
officers and superiors do not blame
him much for his action, which he
undoubtedly thought for the best.
He s,iys that he did not run because

CHINESE NOT WANTED.
Citizens of Fairfield Refuse to
Allow a Gang of Them
to Alight.

Fairfield Is the name Of a small
town just south Of Rockford, on the
line OF the Union Pacific. The cit
liens of the aforesaid small town, as
majority, believe strictly In eni-
ploying white labor and are of
course strongly against Chinese
work. They will not work ut "a
Chinaman's wages, neither will
they allow the latter to do SO.
Sunday the roadmaster of the
Union Pacific sent u gang Of Chi
nese laborcrs up to Fairfield. The
citizens of that place had In some
way been informed of the roadmas-
tcr's move, and so when the train
bearing the Cinnamon pulled In ut
the station 1t was met by lot of
men. They firmly refused to let
the Cclestials land.
For awhile IL looked as II there
was going to be trouble. The
conductor Of the train said the
Chinancn would he landed, and
the citizens said they would not.
Finally the conductor and station
agent prevailed upon the mob to let
the Cinnamon remain there until
the south-bound train should ar
rive, which would take the China
men back.
The roadmaster IL trying to find
out the names of the ringleadcrs of
the mob who thwarted him, with II
view to prosecuting them. In few
days he will again take the gang Of
laborrs 10 Fairfield, and this time
they will net be molested, as several
deputy sheriis will be ON hand to
prevent trouble.
