The Person who sIugged jim sing Fined
by Justice Ribble.
The famous assault case OF jim Sing.
the Thornton restaurant keeper, came up
before Justice Ribble this morning.
Julio Gordenio aud Andres Salas were
the parties arrested, and at the trial II
was developed that GOrdeniO entered the
place OF Jim Sing. not in the capacity Of
an officer as he represented himself, and
gave the Chinaman most severe aud
cruel clubbing.
GOrdenio, on the pretense that he
wanted Salas to help him arrest Sing Tor
some alleged violation Of law. persuaded
salas to accompany him TO the China
mans place, but there was no evidence
introduced to show that Salas had en-
gagged in the slugging.
Salas was discharged, but the Judge
fined GOrdenio $40 and costs. amounting
to total OF about $32, which includ,s
the railroad fare Of the arresting deputy
sheriff TO Thornton and return and the
fares Of the witnesses brought here from
Thornton.
Immediately on the announcement Of
the verdict, Gordenio, through his attor.
ney, Hon. Y. A. Hubbell. announced that
he would take an appeal to the district
court.
Justice Ribble also placed Gordenio
under peace bond OF $780, and as he
could not appeal such bond he fur
nished sureties to keep the peace here
after, for a stipulated term. toward Jim
Sing.
II is thought by some that Gordenio,
who also carries on a small restaurant
adjoining that OF jim Sing, ia jealous OF
the latter, and that Is the reason why lie
gave the Celestial good licking.
Jim Sing stated this afternoon that he
was happy nowand that he would return

on the morning of October 20 the
Spaniards were seen off Cape Spartel.
With all the ardor of English pluck
the Admiral ordered his men

the fleet, which outnumbered the Eng

Spain to possess Gibraltar was shatter-

The war was expected to develop the
usefulness of the carrier-pigeon SER
vice in communicating between ships
at sea and cOtes at naval stations, but
SO far the system does not seem to
have been made much use OF, or,if so,
the results obtained have not been
satisfactorily. Some of the finest
birds. which have records abroad, we're
secured by the government several
months ago from the famous pigeon
cotes in Germany, and distributed
among the principal stations along the
coast. The most important of these
stations is Key West, where there are
a large number of birds capable OF
keeping the patrol vessels off Havana
in prompt communication with the
commandant, but so far fast yachts and
torpedo boats have been used exclu-
sively in carrying messages.
Just prior to the war several success
full trials with carrier pigeons were
made from Havana to Key West, the
birds having been liberated by officers
of the regular merchant steamers.
The flight of a bird is at least 100 miles,
although the navy department has 9
record of bird that was caught SOC
miles out at sea from New York
This pigeon was secured from the
government, and escaped from it's cote
in New York, and at once started for
home, 1000 miles away. Five hundred
miles at sea it lighted on ship and
was brought to New York and returned
to his cote.
