SENSATION AT RACINE.
Mayor James Takes Legal Steps to
Gust District Attorney
Nelson.

Racine, Wis, Jan. 2S.-[Special. IA
sensation was caused in business and
political circles here this morning when
it became known that David @. James,
mayor of the city, had commenced an
action against Peter d. Nelson, district
from office on the ground that Mr.. Mel
son has and is now illegally holding the
office
Mayor James alleges that for year or
more past Mr.. Nelson has held the posi-
Wisconsin. Under a revised statute,
office legally and asks the court to GUST
and that the office be declared vacant.
The action this morning calls to mind
a similar suit begun a few years ago
when S. S. Secor was mayor At that
time Mayor Secor commenced action
against David G. James, who was then
city attorney, to have the office de-
clared vacant on the ground that Mr..
James was holding it illegally. The
claim was made that James, while act
ing as city attorney, also collected in
surance from the city as agent for one
of the companies in this city, which it
was alleged was contrary to the city
charter.
The case was dismissed in the circuit
court. Mr.. Nelson was the one who pros
ecuted the case and now a similar action
is commenced against him. A great deal
of interest is manifested in the outcome
OF the suit as both are prominent here.

VERDICT OF GUILTY.
Mrs. Kate McDougal Convicted of
Manslaughter in the Fourth
Decree,

Marinette, Wis, Jan. 2S.-[SpeciaL1 i
The end Of the McDougal murder case
came this morning when the jury re-
turned a verdict finding the defendant
guilty of manslaughter in the fourth de-
gree, the lightest verdict possible under
the instructions from the court The 20
year-old girl who killed her husband,
Archie McDougal, only a few months
ago, will have to serve a year in the peni-
Tertiary for the crime.
There was a great change in public
sentiment here during the past twenty
four hours and the verdict is received
with positive relief. There is little doubt
that the affecting scenes in the courtroom
yesterday made decided impression on
the public mind as well as on the jury.
Just as Attorney Martineau made
his closing address to the jury Mrs.
McDougal was seen to sway and
droop and then pitch forward out of her
chair. Her attorneys rushed towards
her and court officers raised her up ten
derby and carried her from the room.
The court announced brief recess and
in ten minutes the defendant had re-
covered sufficiently to again be brought
into court. She was weak, pale and,
withal, pitiful sight.
A notable feature Of the trial was the
eloquent plea for the prisoner by Attor-
ney MCCLELLAN.

RUNS ON FAITH.

Cafe in New York Which Trusts to the
Honesty of Customers.
1t is rather surprising to find right on
Park Row a cafe that trusts it's custom
ers perfectly, says New York letter to
the Pittsburg Dispatch. This place has
probably 300 regular callers. It is open
day and night, and is run on system
of implicit faith in the honesty of man.
While not a place strictly high-class, it
offers what might be called a very ''com-
Portable meal, with trimmings before or
after. Altogether, it is simply Il plain
place for an everyday man, with occa-
sionally little something extra on the
bill of fare equaling anything in the city.
This, of course, can be said of hundreds
of similar places; but the system Of pay
ment is something novel. The pro-
prietor, a stout German, boasts 10 cash
Ter, as there is very little cash to 1a1e in.
On the cigar counter is day book. The
customer comes in, goes to the ice chest
in the corner, if he wishes, and takes q
quiet nip out of a black bottle. Then he
orders what he wants on the bill of fare.
It is served quickly and neatly. He then
counts up his own indebtedness and puts
it opposite his name in the book, iEclud-
ing the nip" or a cigar, if he prefers
that He then walks serenely out, know
ing no proprietor is glaring at him and
no cashier yelling for him to come back
and make the cash register good. This
sort of child-like simplicity in running a
business in the very heart of a city filed
with bunkoers, green goods men and gold
bricks without number, is said to be q
winning venture Customers invariably
settle weekly, Friday. and Saturday being
pay days, and the proprietor says he is
yet to lose bill through deliberate
fraud. A little experience with Il man
like that is almost enough to renew ones
confidence in human nature.

Remarkable phenomenon Witnessed III

Two prospectors half dead from fright

Ariz., and related most remarkable
story. The men are Frank Mohair, a
half breed, and Palo Manchez, a Mexi-

stream about forty miles southwest of
here until last Thursday when strange
phenomena occurred which came near de-
stroying their reason.
1t was shortly after noon, according to
their story. and the sky was free from
clouds. Suddenly what appeared to be a
rain cloud darkened the sky and they hur-
ried for their hut, but not until they
had witnessed an astounding sight. Mixed
with the light rain were thousands of

ground with great force and Wriggled and

Iohair and Manchez reached their hut
in time to escape the greater part OF
the downfall. but SO great was their
fright that they sank exhausted upon
the floor and did not arise until next
morning. Both men are ignorant and
superstitious and they thought the
worlds ending had come.
In the morning when they peered out
all but few of the loathsome creatures
had crawled away, supposedly, for they
were not to be seen. Those remaining
were alive and active and the two men
did not dare to venture from their hut.
1t was yesterday morning before they
made break from shelter and the day
was consumed in reaching this point.
During the trip they saw several of the
reptiles. but not q millionth part, they
