HAVANA is EXCITED,
insurgents Very Industrious in the Vicin-
ity of That City

Insurgents Very Industrious in the Vicin-
ity of That City.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Dec. S.-The
days Havana advices report an e2cit-
ed conflict of opinion there as to
whether the forcing of the trocha by
the Cubans Saturday was by guerilla
bands Or by the vanguard of Maceo's
army in movement to unite with Co.
mez. Spaniards have given no definite
news from the front for a week, and at
the same time have, redoublel their
censorship of the press.
Sharp firing has been heard again
in Havana from the neighborhood of
Guanabi cos and other suburbs of that
section, and all Havana is excited over
the occurrence. ~
Over 500 refugees have passed into
the city during the past five days from
that section, fearing for their lives dur.
ing the fights between the soldiers and
the insurgents:
Nearly all the Havana volunteers
have gone to the front, but as fast as
they rout the guerrillas in one place
they encounter them in another, max
ing a succession of running fights, all
within or 10 miles of the city. About
100 soldiers have been killed or wound
ed so far in these engagements.

INDIAN DOGS.

They Have No Love For the White Man
and Show 1t. a.
Kickapoo Indians are very fond Of
dogs, both alive and fricaseed Around
their tepees, Or wickinps, or Queen
Annes, or whatever they call their
abodes, there are always half dozen
wolish dogs. An Indian dog hates q
white man as far as he can see him
and loves an Indian as far as he can
smell him, and that is saying good
deal. I'D.
When q white man driving through
the Kickapoo country sees dog by the
roadside, his natural impulse is to whis-
tie in a friendly way, for somehow in a
wilderness of prairie or forest dog is
a comfortable sight.
But the instant you whistle to an In
dian dog he turns his tail and is out Of
sight quicker than if he had been kicked
An Indian never whistles to his dog
when he wants his beast to come to
him; he places his tongue against his
teeth and Kisses. ss.... -.
The colored population of Oklahoma
have almost as many dogs as the Indi-
|. ans. Those who live in the blackjack
sand hills are dog rich. These dogs have
o deep rooted aversion for the white
man also. When an old colored cotton
planter comes to town, some Of the dogs
are sure to follow, and when the old
man walks up town the dog stays right
between his feet like country dog an
der a wagon. And whenever a white
man comes within swapping distance
the dog gets busy. ~ Kansas City Star.

Tough Job For Small Men.

The occupation of a boiler inspector
is one in which man cannot grow fat
without losing his job, and perhaps is
funny business in that respect. Each
boiler inspected is drained Of its con:
tents, and then the Inspector rigs him
self for dirty job and wriggles himself
into the inside Of it through the man.
hole. This aperture cannot we'll be
made large enough to admit a large
man, hence the smallest sized fellows
have the monopoly Of the business. But
though that fact may be funny, the
business itself, getting into dirty and
sitting places and wriggling like a hui
man Worm into every hole and corner
to know its real condition, is any thing
but fun. The most scrupulous care is re-
quired in these examinatio lions. and as
everything is out Of sight, the Insurance
company have to depend wholly upon
the trustwo rthiness of their lnen. Hence
these get pay that makes amends for all
they have to undergo. sufficient, indeed.

their business! Is Lewis Journal.

INTRICACIES OF ATTACHMENT
An Opinion by Judge Shaw Regarding
the Mode in Certain Cases

In the suit Of Lindenfeldt VS.. Schnei-
der Judge Shaw yesterday handed down
decision overruling the demurrer to
the third separate defense set forth in
the answer.
The question involved was whether
constables sale is valid in an attachment
suit before justice of the peace upon
an order of the justice for the sale of the
property made in pursuance of section
54S, Civil Code procedure, without no
tice to the defendant, but after the prop
erty had been attached, where the sum-
mons had not ben served and the return
thereon showed that the defendant was
absent from the county and could not
be found.
There are no decisions of our supreme
court bearing on this question. Section
548. alluded to, provides for the sale of
perishable property by the officer levy
ing the attachment. Sales of such
property may be made without any or
der of the court or judge. 1t is held in
regard to such a sale that it Is not a
violation of the right os property and
does not constitute a deprivation of
property without due process of law.
but is really for the benefit of the de-
fendant and that his ownership Is
merely transferred from the property to
the money; that 1t is a change Of the
form Of his property only and not de-
privation of it. The same reasoning will
apply as well to sale under the section
quoted above. This section extends the
The herald., 1896-10-22

right TO q summary sale to all cases
where such sale will subserve the inter-
est Of the parties. The interests of both
parties necessarily demand that per-
ishable property shall be sold, and it is
for that reason that power is given to
the officer to sell 1t at his own discretion.
But there may be good reasons why
both parties will be benefited by sale
and yet the property may not be per-
ishable. It was evidently to pro-
vide for such cases that section 54S was
enacted. AS q safeguard for the de-
fendant and to make sure that good
reasons do exist 1t is provided that the
sale cannot be made without the order
of the court or judge. And to enable the
defendant to be heard before the order
is made, If possible, the section declares
that If he has been personally served
with a summons in the action the order
cannot be made except upon notice to
the adverse party or hisattorney. There
is nothing in the language Of the sec
tion that would justify an Interpretation
limiting the right to a sale to cases
where the summons has been personally
served. Such construction would prer-
vent such a sale, no matter how neces-
sary, in all cases where summonses are
served by publication. The only effect
of the clause concerning personal SER
vice of the summons is. to require notice
to be given in case such service has been
made. 1t is not general limitation upon
the power given in the first sentence of
the section to order a sale of such prop
erty, but only a special limitation ap-
plicable to a particular class of cases
which have reached particular stage
in the proceedings, viz. when party
has been personally served. with sum-
mons. In all other cases the limitation
does not apply and the court or judge
may order a sale without notice, under
the general power.

forgery, was up in department one yes
terday for sentence.
Attorney oliver made a motion for a
new trial, but was overruled, and then.
in passing sentence, Judge Smith scath-
ingly rebuked the defendant for his con
duct. The defendants wife sat beside
her husband, silently weeping during
the time of sentence. ard finally broke
down in a storm of convulsive sobs.
Il feel very sorry for you," began
Judge Smith, and then as his eyes fell
upon the defendants wife, he amended
his. remark. Il take that back" said
he. II didn't mean it, for am not sorry
for you. but for that poor woman by your
side"
At this point COLON shook his head
slightly and the action raised the courts
ire to higher point.
mo. no; you needn't shaks your head"
said Judge Smith.
'If your honor please. had a fly on my
face" interjected the defendant.
The excuse went for nothing. you
torted the court, land your conduct to-
wards your wife by your side has been
worse than any saveages would or could
be guilty of. It is reserved for civilized
men to so degrade and brutalize them
selves. And yet I am inclined to give you
light sentence for your wife's sake:
hoping against hope that you may real
ize all that she has sacrificed for you and
make amendment in the future"
COLON was then sentenced to two
years in the states prison.
