The Wilson Household Is Divided Against
Itself
William H. Butterfield and William H.
Wilson, charged with disturbing the peace
Sunday morning, were before Police Judge
Owens yesterday afternoon for trial, when
it came out that tho whole thing was
family row. Butterfield is a youth about
IS years of age and is the stepson of Will
son, the fireworks man, who had one of his
hands blown off by an explosion of his in
fiammable wares two or three years ago
The boy and his stepfather do not get
along very we'll together, and Sunday they
came together in earnest. Wilson picked
up chair, as he said, to defend him self
against the boy, while the wife and mother
rushed out into the yard and yelled mur-
der. A neighbor named Perry came to the
rescue, and found Wilson and Butterworth
clinched. He separated them and placed
them under arrest.
After hearing the testimony Judge Cw-
ems decided that the boy was not to blame
in this case, at least, and fined Wilson rs,
which he paid.

was understood that ]. r. Rice, the cowboy
preacher, and his wife and several of their
sympathizers would be tried for disturbing
the peace, and, in addition to the usual
number of curiosity seekers, there were a
number of the members of the various

packed in the lobby like sardnes in box,
the stairway being filled and the line ex-

was sufficient crowd to effectually block

in the dock for them, and they were dis

found. Rice, with his long hair combed
out and floating in the breeze, and with his
moustache daintily curled up at the ends,
occupied seat in the front row, and was
the observed of all observers, his wonderful
and somewhat odoriferous buckskin suit
seeming to have a wonderful fascination

well grOomed, and was apparently none

Rice sat McCune the pugnacious young man

so much trouble the night before land next to
him was Charles Johnston, enormously
booked as "Callie' Johnston. who also was
conspicuous on account of his champion
ship of the peripatetic evangelist with the
elaborate hirsute adornment. These
humble followers apparently could not
stand Jail life as well as their chief, as
they presented a decidedly downcast ap-
pearance and we're not as aggressive as on
the night previous. Johnston solaced him
self during the proceedings by devouring
huge sandwich, which was passed to him
over the rail by sympathizer from the
outside. All around the distinguished trio
were the ordinary riff-raff of the Monday
police court-drunks. vagrants, etc.
Mrs. Rice, the wife of the cowboy
preacher, stole a march on the curiosity

ABOUT COUNTY FINANCES
Auditor Tells the Supervisors
How They Stand
THE GENERAL FUND SHORT
Expenditures Will Have to Be Very
Generally Curtailed
A Cash Balance on Hand In the Treasury OF
Over Six Hundred THOUSAND Dollars.
Report In Detail

County Auditor Charles F. Bicknell yes
ors his quarterly report, showing the con-
diton of the funds of the county, also the
source of revenue, the authorized expendi-
lures for the fiscal year. the expenditures
for the time elapsed, also the authorized
expenditures for the balance OF the fiscal
year in the current expense, salary and
hospital funds.
Auditor Bicknell presents very inter-
esting array of figures as regards the peo-
pies money, and in the close he directs
particular attention to the fact that the su-
pervisors have exhausted about one-half OF
the revenue of the general fund, exclusive
of the appropriation for primary purposes.
He says that the expenditures from this
fund will have to be curtailed, as the as
sessmens of 1896 will consume large
amount. The balance of the funds are in
good condition.
