PREACHER AGAIN IN COURT.
Rev. King, COIOred, and Wife Once
More in Court.

A colored divine, Rev. r.. S. King,
n wife, Bette, nave been figuring
quite extensively i'm court circles of
late.
The minister resides several miles
from the city, and a short time ago
he and another colored man got into a
dispute over a hog. King, it is said,
made use of phrases not i'm keeping
with his ministerial role. Then a fistic
encounter started and ended in the
routing Of the minister.
Upon this occasion William Evans,
colored, acted as peacemaker and
prevented the utter establishment of
the clergy.
King and his better half We're loud
in their praise of Evans action when
they obtained a warrant from Justice
Bunting for the arrest OF the alleged
assailant.
Developments, however, did mot
please all concerned, and yesterday
Evans was arrested ON two warrants
from Judge Bornemann's court. It
was alleged that he assaulted both
King and his wife. Both allegations
Evans denied and, thinking that a
change of climate would prove benefi-
cial, he requested a removal of the case
from Judge Borneman.
The transfer was made, Justice
Fowler being designated to investigate
the charges. This the aforesaid mag
istrate did in the afternoon, and decid-
ed that n "a was a continuation
of the other and so the two were on
solidated. He reserved his decision In

were displayed indicating another Sec

about the signals and relied on the
fireman, who said none were display
ed. A bridge tender, a mile away, tes-
titled he heard the whistle blasts of
the passing passenger train. The fire.
man has not yet been found, but an
effort will be made to get him before
the jury tomorrow. The crew of the
freight train had been fourteen hours
