ENDED PLEASANTLY.
The Mansf1eld-CoX Affair Ended by
the Dismissal of the Case.

The Mansfield-Cox Affair Ended by
the Dismissal of the Case.
In the Police Court on Saturday morn
ing, both the defendant and Officer Cox
being present, City Attorney Hart moved
the court TO place the case of The People
VS.. j. @. Mansfield upon the calendar for
that day, which was done.
Mr.. Hart then moved the court to dis
miss the case. He said that it is not the
duty OF prosecuting officer to push a
case when he is convinced that convic-
ton cannot be had, nor the ends of pub
lie justice conserved. He had carefully
examined into the case, and knew what
would be proved.
he was free to say that the defendant
could make an ample, complete defense,
In his opinion; that the officer, from in
experience and lack of knowledge OF the
law, had made mistake; but he was a
conscientious and faithful officer, and
thought he was properly acting. Both
men stood well III the community, and
were of unblemished reputation. The
defendant IS an experienced reporter
ana knew the law. 1t was evident
TO all who knew him that he would not
have acted as he did except he believed
he had great provocation, and was juSti-
fed and called upon to protect himself
a mistake had happened, the men had
met and expressed their regrets, and no
duty demanded that the people should
proceed in the case, but rather that its
officer should advise its dismissal.
To this the prosecuting witness, Officer
Cox, bowed assent.
Mr.. Anderson, for the defendant, said
the affair was all mistake, an unfortun-
ate one, and that justice would be for
warded by dismissal.
Judge CravenS said that ordinarily he
would resist such motion; but he had
Informed himself by conversation with
the officer and was convinced that it was
a proper thing to do, to dismiss the case.
Both men are good citizens, of good re-
pute, and on the statement now made by
the prosecuting attorney the court be-
heved the public would not be benefited
by further proceedings in the case. lie
then ordered the charge dismissed.
Mr.. Mansfield and 'Mr. Cox met inn
mediately in the door of the courtroom
and shook hands, and so the case ended.

WANTED HIS MONEY.
Confectionery Clerks Matinee Will
a Brace of .JaDs.

Brace of Japs.
There was a lively scene at a J-street
ice cream and confectionery parlor yes
terday. Japanese named Psuerta, who
goes by the English name of George, and
who was employed at the place about
two months, claims the firm owes him
50, and he has been besieging the store
and the proprietor's residence since Sat-
urday demanding the money. He re-
fused to accept eithor explanation or dis
missal, and continued his demands.
When the Jap went to work he was re-
quired to deposit So, with the understand
Ing that the money would be returned
when George quit work, provided he
gave his employer several days notice.
This he did not do, and quit work sud-
denly on Saturday, and his employer re-
fused to refund the deposit.
George thereupon got two of his coun-
trymen and called at the store, quarreIed
with the clerk and then went to the pro-
prletor's house and demanded the money
OF his wife.
About o'clock yesterday afternoon
George, with a Japanese friend named
Frank, called at the store and made
another demand emphasizing it with so
much talk that the clerk finally or
dered them out. They refused to go
and the eXasperated clerk forcibly elected
frank, Whereupon George jumped upon
| him, Frank returned to the combat and
lively battle ensued.
George scratched the clerk severely in
the face, and the latter caught up a glass
dish and struck his assailant on the head,
intilcting deep cash, which bled pro-
fusely. a telephone message was sent to
| the police station, but there was no officer
there to respond.
About half an hour later the two Japs,
George covered with the blood that
flowed from his wounded head, appeared
at the station with a long tale of woe, and
swore out warrant for the clerks arrest.
A reporter interviewed him and OBJ
tanned the particulars substantially as
recounted. He stated that the Japanese
had called so often and made so much
trouble that he could nothing but throw
them out, and then they showed fight.

Fatal Result of Desperate Fight OF
Grand Island.
Coroner Clark was called to Isleton
yesterday to hold an inquest on the body
of a Chinaman who had been killed on
Saturday evening during a fight on
Grand Island.
He did not return last night, and all
that could be learned of the affair by tele-
phone was that number of Cinnamon,
employed on a ranch on Grand Island,
about a mile south of Isleton, became in
volved in fight, during which one OF
the number stabbed another and killed
him.
The slayer took to the tules, and al
though a vigorous search had been made

enduring is tho work on good road
then on that OF a river or harbor. The
loss OF time and horse flesh and the
wear and tear on vehicle occasioned by
our miserable system OF roads, amounts
annually to many millions of dollars.
OF tho construction of rail and wagon
roads. il may be said, the former ought
yo to have done and the latter ye ought
not TO have left undono. Unless the
attention is given to the construction of
good wagon roads, the earnings of our
railroads will decrease and some become
bankrupt, for the two arc insepara0le
and must prosper or fail together.
The construction Of good roads by our
Government would encourage people to
remain in and develop tho country, in
stead of Hooking into our cities, where
already the one fourth CT our pODula-
ton Of our country now is, and many
OF them without work sufficient to
earning q living. In this way we would
promote the health of our land and pre-
vent that accumulation of vice in largo
cities which is already making the
problem of city government hard to
solve. Every individual is consumer,
and ought to be producer, but this can
never be while so many are packed in

RAIL AND WAGON ROADS.

Written for The TINE- by Rev. oliver {. Miller,
Pastor of ST. Mark Lutheran Church
Since the war our Country has made
remarkable progress III The construction
OF railroads. Al no date in history has
the United States made such mighty
strides, surprising all other countries
in surprising inventions, and in her
mighty system OF transcontinental rail
roads with their aim st innumerlble
qualifications. Indeed our country is
almost network OF steel. Important
as these are for the development and
commercial life Of our country, we must
not overlook the fact that systems Of
roads and highways arc also necessary
They most constitute the feeders Of the
great railroad systems. We need the
veins as we'll as the great arteries OF
trade to constitute heaithful coInm
cal body.
Our country with all her railroad
facilities is sadly behind the countries
of the old world in the construction of
good wagon roads. Nothing so binds
topether the interests OF neig hborhoods
and encourages the production of farm
products as good roads. One OF the
most valuable movements toward inc
commercial prosperity of our country is
that now on foot TO ask our governmeni
to found in the city OF Washing ton
road department, similar to the Agri
cultural Department, for tho purpoer OF
promoting and constructing aud IN Ain
tanning of roads, such department
to mako provision for tho teaching OF
students to become skilled engineers
Petitions bearing many signers should
be sent to Congress from all the rural
districts, towns, hamlets and cities
Perhaps no other movement would dc
SO much to stop the cry of hard times
now heard throughout all our land.
The State road tax system for the
construction and maintenance of roads
is a colossal failure; such roads never
have the service OF skilled engineers
1t is apparent that wa will never have
roads in keeping with our advance
civilization until they are managed b,
the government, as we're all the road
of history, and the highways Of Europ''
Every year we pour our money b.
millions in the rivers and harb"rs
while the roads that feed the coca
traffic receive nothing. Roads are a
much public property as water course
and harbors, and how much NOR
