acious fisher recently pulled a mem

mice has recently been discovered.

are born with gold filings in their

the accommodation of a manicure

wEYLER INSISTS.
Maceo, According to the Censor, Was
Badly Beaten.

HAVANA, Oct. 6.-Late today some
details were received of the two en-
,gagements fought by the troops under
Gen. Bernal and Col. Granados and
the insurgents under Antonio Maceo
at Guamo in the Western part of the
province of Pinar del Rio last Mon
day. Col. 1Granados, it appears. was
informed that the Cantabrio battalion
was surrounded by force of 5000 in
surgent infantry and 800 cavalry at
Guafno. The insurgent force had been
sent to Guamo by Antonio Maceo. Col.
GTanadoS' troops charged the enemy,
after his artillery had fired twelve
shots at the insurgents position. The
latter soon commenced to flee, and the
Cantabrio battalion, thus relieved from
its dangerous position, was enabled to
join the troops, and the entire force
pushed forward to attack the positions
which the insurgents had taken up
after having been driven away from
Guano. The rebels were dislodged
after five hours fighting, leaving 80
killed. The troops had twelve killed
and 80 wounded, among the latter be-
ing four officers.
While this fight was in progress.
Gen. Bernal was finishing second
engagement with the rebels at Tomas
de La @Teja. Gen. Bernal only had
about 700 troops at his disposal. while
the forces OF Maceo occupied long
lines Of battle. The insurgents were
finally dislodged, leaving 100 killed on
the field. and the prisoners captured
by the Spaniards say that the insur-
gents carried away over 200 wounded.
ON the side of the troops, Lieut. Col.
Romero, of the San Marcial battalion.
one of Gen. Bernal's aides-de-camp,
and Is privates were killed. In addi-
ton, Lieut.. Col. Chacel, of the en-
gfneer corps, s officers and IS privates
were wounded

USED DAVENPORT ROUGHLY.
Burglars Break His Hand With n
Billy.

r. H. Davenport, of 1888 Nineteenth
avenue south, had rough experience
at the hands Of burglars Monday, and
is congratulating himself on escaping
as luckily as he did. Mr.. Davenport
was awakened shortly after midnight
by an unusual sound at the front door
Of the house. 1t sounded as though
some one was trying to gain entrance
by turning the door-knob. Mr. Daven-
port determined to investigate and aris-
ing from his bed he struck match
lighted lantern and went downstairs.
AS he approached the front door the
noise ceased. He unlocked the door,
grabbed the knob and gave it quick
turn, and the door flew open.
Quick as flash a billy in the hands
of man on the outside whizzed
through the air and descended upon
Mr.. Davenport's hand, fracturing the
bone badly. The injured man gave a
cry of pain, and with that the two bur-
glars, for there proved to be that many,
jumped off the porch and fed away in
the darkness. They had evidently
figured on striking Mr.. Davenport on
the head, and when they realized the
mistake, had made their esca pc.
Mr.. Davenport went to the residence
of the nearest doctor and had his arm
set
The boot and shoe store of John
Erickson, 815 Franklin avenue, was en-
tered by burglars Monday evening
They effected entrance by prying open
a rear window and succeeded in carry
Ing off a considerable quantity Of shoes,
valued at $50. The burglars are sup
posed to be the same bold fellows who
used Mr.. Davenport so roughly earlier
in the evening.

The petitioners cite grievances COW

to the petition, the order is a fraternal

has a right to take away arbitrarily.
The petition admits that the grand
chief has the right to suspend a lodge
for thirty days until there are certain
charges made, but can go no further.
Therefore the district court is asked to
step in and force the great chief to
cart back the back bone Of the lodge.

NOT EIGHT YEARS OLD.
Parents Charge Their Child with
Burglary.

The spectacle of parents endeavor-
ing to have an infant son examined
and sentenced on a charge of burglary
is an unusual thing to say the least,
and yet there was just such an occur
renee in the municipal court yester-
day morning
The boy was Willie Whitney, who
resides with his parents at 1886 Tween
ty-sixth avenue south. The COM
plainant was his father, William Whit
ney Sr., a grinder, in the employ of
the Atlas Paint company The child,
but little over seven years of age, was
brought into the clerks office by his
father and mother, and the former,
after stating the case to Clerk Allen,
asked that he be allowed to swear out
a warrant against his son. The boy,
he said, had torn the screen off a
neighbours window and had stolen
some knives and forks. The father in
sisted that the boy was thief by in
stirct, unruly and obstinate. and the
parents had decided that it was time
for the court to look after him.
Clerk Allen surveyed the boy. a
bright, good-looking fellow who held
his head in shame. and asked his age.
Learning that he was not yet eight
years old, the clerk refused positively
to make out a complaint. Not salts
fed, the parents brought the boy be-
fore Judge Holt. The court, after be-
ing acquainted with the facts in the
case. ruled that as the boy was under
eight years of age he could not proper
ly come under the jurisdiction of the
law. and the parents would have to
adopt some other means of disciplining
him
