RIVALRY LEADS TO TROUBLE.
A NcwsbOy Fined for Assaultinr .
Fellow Worker

That there is just as much rivalry among
Lewsboys as there Is among others who
labor for what they get was shown in
Judge Mills court this morning, when Geo
Butte. white boy, was tried for an as
sault on colored co-laborer named Theo-
dore Shepney.
Not guilty of assault was what George
said when Clerk Potts asked him concern
ing his guilt or innocence.
What did this boy do to you?" Shepney
was asked.
He heated me cause sold papers to his
customers was the colored boys answer
The boy explained that he was selling
papers on Capitol Hill last Sunday, when
he was told to go to certain house and
make sale, which he did. Then he said
Butte slapped him, and he grabbed a stone
Butte in his own defense claimed that
Shepney had been in the habit of selling
papsrs to other boys customers, telling
them that the other boy was sick or had
gone away When he learned Butte had
served one Of his customers Sunday he
went after him and tried to force him to
the customers house. Instead of going
Shepney picked up a stone and hit him.
A wholesale news dealer from whom the
boys had bought their papers, told the
court of the troubles the boys have his
evidence being somewhat in Bute's favor
The court imposed s. fine.

EXPRESSION OF SORROW.
RESOLUTIONS in Memory of the Late
I'M INVI

Resolutions in Memory of the Late
c. T. Iardella.
At a meeting of the officers and others
Of the coast and geodetic survey held yes
terday afternoon in the office of the sur
vey resolutions were adopted expressive of
the sorrow of those present over the recent
death of c. T. Iardella, who was for fifty
two years attached to the public service.
The resolutions were in effect that in the
death of Assistant c. T. Iardella their old
est associate, the members lost a friend
who, in his long career, was endeared to
them by the purity of his character and his
faithfulness to the trusts confded to him.
I'VE have watched his last years with
deep solicitude," the resolutions further de-
clare. For a man of his former vigorous
health and exceptional energy to be slowly
passing away, and yet cheerful, hopeful
ana intent upon continuing the active work
of his life, has continually impressed upon
us our own responsibilities with an empha-
sis not to be denied.
In the death of our comrade the public
service has lost an officer who for more
than half century has devoted himself,
through hardships and dangers, to the per-
Torrance or duty with a cOnScientiOuSneSS
rarely excelled.''
The officers and members of the survey
expressed in the resolutions their love and
affection, speaking for their absent COM
radeS well, and extended to the family
OF Mr.. Iardella heartfelt sympathy in their
bereavement.
The funeral of the late official will take
place tomorrow at 8 am. from St. Mat
'thews Catholic Church.
