The case OF W. ]. Honkey against four
Chinese laundry men OF Houghtou, occu-
pied the time OF Judge Brand and jury on
Tuesday afternoon. The charge on
which the Cinnamon were held was as
sault with intent to do great bodily
harm less than the crime OF murder.
The case was the outcome OF trouble in
the laundry New Years eve, when Han
key was assaulted by the Cinnamon, an
account OF which appeared in these col
umns at the time. 1he evidence intro
duced was not sufficient in Prosecuting
Attorney Streeter's view to hold the men
on the charge preferred so the charge was
changed to assault and battery. At this
turn OF affairs the complainant Hankey
withdrew bis complaint and the China
men were allowed to depart and here the
case rests, Considerable interest was
shown In the case and the court room
was crowded to it's utmost capacity.

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TELESCOPE.
The Wonderful Powers Of Vision OF .
Tribe of African Bushmen.

Vne WOnOerIul fOWere Oh VISION Oh y
Tribe Of African Bushmen.
There is race of men who can see as
far with the naked eye as an ordinary man
can with a telescope. EVERY man his

propriety to these fortunate persons.
They Fra In wild state in the south Of
Africa, among the tribes or bush men.
The name "bushmen" is an Anglicism of
the Dutch word "bjoseman," meaning
imam of the woods"
These human telescopes have derived
their extraordinary power of vision, ao-
cording to Mr.. Herbert Spencer. through
necessity. II 1t were not for this they
must have long ago become extinct. They
are remarkably small in stature for wild
men, and they offer an easy prey for the
large, fierce beasts that infest certain parts
of southern A frica. And on account of
their diminutive size they are not able to
fight on equal terms with their warlike
and larger proportioned neighbors. Trav
elers in the region of the long sighted
bushmen have reported some truly re-
markable feats with the eyes. One day
while European was walking in com
pany with friendly bushman the latter
suddenly stopped, and, pointing ahead In
some alarm, exclaimed:
"A lionp'
The white man stared until his eyes
ached but no could make out nothing.
Thinking that the native must have made
a mistake, he insisted on going forward,
though his companion urged him to re-
treat. When they had advanced n little
farther, the Bushman again came to a
halt and absolutely refused to go on an
other step, for, as he explained he could
distinguish not only lion, but also a
number of cubs 1t would be dangerous,
he said, to tamper with a lioness while
nursing her little ones.
The European, however, still unable to
see lion, much less the cubs, pushed on
boldly. When no had advanced quarter
of mile he saw an object moving slowly
along In the distance at the point to which
the bushman had directed his gaze. Still
doubling that "a human being could pos
sess such marvellous power of vision, he
approached nearer and finally distin'
guished the form of lioness making lei
urely for a line of forest.
The limit of mans power of vision is
established by necessity. II our existence
depended on our ability to see twice as far
as we do, this additional power would be
acquired by practice. Deerslayer of Lcath-
or Stocking" fame surprised every one by
his long sigbtedness. Probably he could
see farther than these bushmen, hut he

an outdoor life, give their eyes practice ~

THl.ASHED INTO GRACE.
Yle Reformation OF q California Bully by
Muscular Preacher.

The Rev. Stanley Wilson of the little
town Of Ramona, little way from San
Diego, Cal, besides being editor Of the
Ramona Sentinel is an all around athlete.
He can hold his own with the gloves with
any amateur in the county and he is his
own fighting editor, and he doesn't car
ry gun. He is Baptist, and no rides
the circuit, which embraces number of
small mining towns in the hills and
mountains Of southern San Diego county.
On recent Sunday the Rev. Mr.. Wilson
had an unusually busy day. He preached
at the mining town of Julian. In the aft
ernoon Dave Putnam, town bully, who
has oeen in many fights and has the repu-
tation of being a hard man to handle, ao-
costed the preacher on the street and de-
manded a retraction Of an uncomplimen-
tary item about himself which had appear
cd in that weeks issue of the Ramona
Sentinel Wilson declined to retract. Put
nam insisted, and Wilson replied that he
didn't publish thing unless it was true,
and that he proposed to stand by whatever
he had said and to publish IL again If he
thought best. Then Putnam pulled of
his coat, advised the preacher to get ready
for a licking and sailed in. But the
preachers coat was off before Putnam got
there, and the blow he had meant for the
priestly nose landed in tho Dir. The bully
was bit bewildered by this, but he took
his bearings and squared off again. He
Is much heavier than Wilson, but the fight
was nevertheless ono sided from start to
finish. AS Putnam came on again the
man Of God dealt him a blow with the
right which knocked him off his feet and
caught him on the jaw with his left as he
fell. The bully jumped to his feet and re-
newed the attack but he couldn't land
anywhere. The preacher was too quick
for him and did not receive single blow.
Putnam finally gave up after he had been
stretched on the sidewalk three times, and
said it was all mistake and that he did
not want the item taken back at all
The young preacher is more popular
than ever For Putnam himself the affair
seems to have been means of grace. He
has not tried TO get into row since then;
has modified his demeanor and declares
that hereafter he is going to church every
time the Rev. Stanley Wilson breaches

SHE uNwILLlNeLyJo lNEDTHe CHASE
Dragged Along by Her Bulldog In His
Mad Pursuit of "a Cat.


Mad Pursuit of "a Cat.
am not an admirer of that product Of
famine civilization the toy dog, but when
1t comes to selecting companion for a
promenade / am prepared to maintain
that for a woman the toy dog is much
preferable to the bulldog. That conclu-
SION was arrived at after witnessing some
thing that occurred in Fifth avenue the
other day.
A spinster of the emancipated woman
type was leading bulldog by chain and
evidently enjoying the terror which its
presence inspired among her weaker sisters
who were still bound in the chains Of con-
ventionalism. The bulldog with the list
less good nature peculiar 10 its species,
paid no attention 10 anybody or anything
until a predatory cat cssayed to cross the
street a few feet in front of il. III there is
one thing moro than another that a bull
dog is death On, IL is a cat.
The situation was instantly reversed.
The bulldog was leading the emancipated
woman a mad chase across the avenue in
pursuit of the feline. that stood not mo-
ment on the order of its going The street
was crowded with vehicles, and il was
only because that kindly providence which
tcmpers the wind to the shorn lamb and
the fall to the drunken man happened just
then to be taking keen interest il the
fate of that woman Of advanced views that
her life was preserved. AS it was, the re-
cording angel must have had a particular
ly busy two minutes taking stenographic
notes of the oaths that were uttered by ex-
citable Jehus as they threw their horses on
their launches.
On the opposite side of the street the cat
sped down flight of steps leading to an
areaway and hoped on to window SILL
where it was beyond the reach Of its less
agile foe.
The woman either because she wouldn t
or couldn't let go the chain, was lugged
down the sane steps, narrowly escaping a
fall, and for five minutes she stood there
Juggling vainly at the chain while the dog
strained and leaped and barked in fruit
less efforts to get within biting distance of
puss.
The crowd that gathered around enjoye ed
the womaii's discontinue. Not a man Of
fercd TO assist her.
1T just serves her right, remarked q
pretty girl TO her companion. tShe ought
to know better than to go around with
such horrid brute. "
All the women present were evidently
of the same opinion. A policeman at
tracted by the crowd, finally came to her
rescue and by main strength pulled the
dog up the steps, while the terrified cat
made tracks for parts unknown. And the
emancipated woman hadn't sufficient pres.
ence of mind left to resent the observation
of the representative of the law that ''wom-
an amt got no right to 60 foolin around
with bulldog anyhowl''-New York
