foro Mayor Evans yesterday morning.
Both officers gave testimony about the
shooting in substance OF what was pub
lished in THE TIMES. Clayton appeared
with his arm in sling and testified
that he did not think the men he was
shooting at were officers. He denied
breaking into tho house from whence

cuse for his presence there.
The mayor sent the prisoner on to

in the right arm. He said it would re-
quire an operation to extract it. He

GEE USED HIS BILLY,

Charles Cannon Was Boistrous and Had to
be Brought to With Water.
While Judge Williams was holding
court yesterday evening at the mayors
Office, Charles Cannon, whose case had
just been disposed of, became very un.
ruly, and abused the court and ill
treated the offlcer.. The Judge asked
Officer Gee to keep the negro quiet. and
when Gee demonstrated with him he
became more insolent and called the
officer some hard names.
Gee is no respector of persons, and he
has very little sympathy for negroes
head, 30 he waited for no further order
from the court, but let fly his baton,
getting in solid blow on Charles de-
voted head. Charles looked stunned,
and when the echoes of the rap died
away, the court said:
~ did not tell you to kill the negro"
At this gentle reminder of death
Charles keeled over, and it was fully
ten minutes before he regained con-
soiousness.
Charles finally stole tramp's dinner
who was quietly eating in the corridor
while the officer was taking him to his,
and had to be knocked down again be.
fore he would give itup.

A large telescope stood on the corner
of Salem avenue and Jefferson street
yesterday pointing skyward, with the
following sign attached to it:
"Free to-day. Ten cents tom orrow. -
The proverb that woman has moro
curiosity than man was not exemplified
yesterday. Almost every man who
passed that telescope stopped, read the
notice and then squinted through it.
One look was enough and the observer
would quietly sneak away with a sheep

laugh from the crowd around it. In

CLUTE'S SOPHISTRY
The Assessor Beats About the
Bush to Make a Case.
HE is WRATHY AT THE HERALD
And Defies the Board of Equalization In
Refusing to Accept the Reduction Of
Twenty Per Cent

Collector Clute is refusing to accept pay
r1ents of taxes on the 20 per cent. reduc-
ton basis. Citizens have called at his
Office for the purpose of paying their taxes,
but lie has in every case refused to accept
them except at the tip-top valuation
scale. He gives it out cold that be is about
TO CT mmence an injunction suit against the
city to have it restrained from making any
reduction from the original valuation.
Meeting Mr.. Clute on Msin street 9
HERALD representative, taking his life in
his hands, asked him if he had anything to
say regarding the matter.
The city assessor stopped short, and was
so startled at the audacity OF HERALD
man holding him up on public highway
that it was several seconds before he was
able to make reply.
The first impulse seemed to be to smite
the man of the press, but on second sober
thought he suspended this action and
blurted out:
mo sir, not a word for The HERALD
After treating me the way it lid, is there
any reason why / should extend to 1t any
courtesiesl After abusing me most shame
fully, and in a way l shall resent when
get my hands on the man who has beer
vilifying my good name" And here the
assessor trembled with rage. The blood
mounted TO his face, and then recedec
sgain, while he breathed spasmodically.

tinued, land it will not be good for him II

The scribe explained that these asper
sions were nothing when man got used Il
them, and demonstrated to the autocra
the advantage of being heard in his owl
defense through the Giant of the Rockies
Finally Mr.. Clute accorded the reporter
the privilege of calling or him at his office
Accordingly, a little later, THE HERALI
minion climbed up the back stairs thatlea(
to the assessors den, with some trepida
ton of spirit. For the nonce he wished
that Balmaceda had either left the country
or committed suicide, or both. To beart
the lion IN his den was an awful risk, anC
what guarantee was there that the re
porter would not be hurled down the stairs
one fight at time!
But Clute was inclined to be pleasant.
aft you desire to see me, step around.
he said, inviting the reporter back of tn
counter After making out several re
ceipts for special taxes, the assessor asked
s9What will you have OF me-"
