CRUELTY TO A CHILD.
Humane officer Healy Stops /:
Street Exhibition.

The well-laid plans by which Fred
Barwick, an itinerant organ grinder,
expected to work the visitors to the
State Fair, were rudely upset by HUI
name officer Dan Healy last night.
Barwick, according to Healy, is a
fake of the first water, and on the
street poses as blind" and employs
his little 6-year-old daughter to collect
the pennies contributed by charitably
inclined persons or those willing to
pay to hear the music 90 move on.
The ready-made music vender was
out at a late hour last night, with the
little child as a principal attraction. but
the probability is she will appear no
more. The officer informed the grind
er that if he employed the child on the
street again he would be promptly ar
rested on a charge of cruelty to chill
dren.
officer Healy states that while plying
his trade Barwick is. besides appearing
to be blind, the kinkiest man one
would meet in a week, but after he
reaches his lodging house the kinks
disappear and his sight has marvel
Gus habit of becoming first rate in
every respect.
Barwick claims to have a wife and
three children in Portland, Or, and
says he brought his little daughter
with him because his boys had to go
to school. He claims to be a Welsh
man.

LO, THE POOR INDIAN.
He Is S1aughtering the Trout in
Prosser Creek.

1t is reported on good authority that
the Indians have been slaughtering the
fish in Prosser Creek lately most out
rageously. The water in the creek is
low and they put in traps and then go
up the stream and drive down every
fish along the way, and catch them in
their traps. Such destruction of the
fish should not be allowed. Indians
have no more privileges in taking game
and fish than other persons. 1t IS
thought by some that they are prlvl-
legged to kill game and fish at any sea-
son of the year, but it is not the case.
Indians on reservations, who maintain
tribal relations, have the right to gov
ern themselves, but when they live
among the whites they are subject to
our laws the same as any foreigner
and under the same restraints regard
ing the killing of game and taking OF
fish as other persons. When they y1o-
late the law they should be punished
the same as other persons. They are
all provided for on the reservation, and
they should stay there or obey the laws
while they are not there.-Truckee Re

Kent moved to cut the amount in
two, and appropriate 212 cents to the
fire department fund.
Tozer said he did not propose to have
a new street repair fund, but street
Improvement fund, for covering the
graveled streets with macadan.
Devine heartily supported the mo-
ton, saying that it would make good
streets and save thousands of dollars
Leonard said the fire department
should also have a show, and he be-
lieved the eastern part of the town
should be protected, even if the tax
ran up to 81 20.
Devine opposed further expense in
the fire department for what he said
was the benefit of the grasping insur-
ance companies.
Chief Engineer Guthrie said the time
is coming when a fire will get away
from the fire department because 1t
has not facilities enough. man, to
be successful, must have enough stock,
and so 1t was with him. The loss OF
the w. p Fuller Co. in its fire was
So, 600 on paper, while if we had had
chemical engine it would have been
only 81 900, as the fumes of the chem
ical engine deaden the whole fire. He
asked that % cents be appropriated
for the fire department. He should
at least have four hose carts, one in
the eastern part of the city. A chem
ical engine would cost 5000, and 1t
would take $1,000 a year to maintain
it
Kent advocated placing the other
hose cart at, say % cents, and he
thought the city could afford l cent
addition to the estimate for protection
Of the uptown people.
Tozer's motion was lost by vote
of to 3. as was that to add / cent to
the fire department tax.
A motion of Tozer TO raise the levy
tax 3 cents, the street improvement
fund 4 cents. and the fire department
fund l cent was also lost, as we'll as
one by Devine to put 2 cents in the
street improvement fund, and make
the rate 81 o.
Tozer moved that the rate proposed
by the Board of estimate, 81 S2. be
adopted, but afterwards withdrew his
motion.
Pennish moved that 1 cent be taken
from the library fund and added to the
street fund. but met with no second.
Then Devine moved to put cents
into a street Improvement fund and
make the rate 81 90. The motion was
lost.
A motion by Kent to reconsider the
tripartite motion of Tozer was lost, and
a motion to fix the tax rate at 81 ",
according to the estimate made, was
carried.
The levy stands as adopted: General
tax, 81; fire department tax, .21; police
tax, Is; High School tax, .0S12; library
tax, %; street tax, II; sprinkling tax.
.0715; sewer tax, .07; levee tax, .01;
street bond tax. .03115; sewer bond tax,
.031a; levee bond tax, .05; immigration
tax, OF; total, 81 %.
An ordinance establishing separate
and special funds was passed, as we'll
as one levying the tax, to finish the
business of the levy, and the board
adjourned.
The Clerk was also directed to select
paper of four or more cOlors for the
party ballots and present to the board
at its next meeting, and the board ad-
journed.

Late last night colored man named
Charles Johnson visited the Receiving
Hospital and unfolded a tale of woe.
He also exhibited a badly cut and lac
Grated ear as evidence of his veracity
According to Johnson's story, which
the police officials declined to take stock
in, he was sleeping sweetly in a quiet
nook of the Southern Pacific Company's
lumber yard, when some maliciously
inclined person rolled him out of bed
and hacked his ear almost past recogni-
ton.
