 Dr. Keeney. who will succeed Lees as chief, is one of the best known sur geons of this city. He is a stepson of Commissioner Alvord, and is at present examining and consulting surgeon of the Police Department, with the rank of sergeant, which fully qualities him for the position. Dr. Keeney is a grad uate of the Philadelphia Medical Col lege and of Heidelberg.

 The suit was brought by Mrs. Mahoney to recover from Martin Kelly $50 which she claimed she loaned him. His defense was that he never borrowed any money from her, and this statement reiterated under oath was what the court did not believe.

TRIES TO EXECUTE THREAT.
Prisoner Meets with Punishment at
Hands of Officer

Theodore Ha ldy, a man with q lengthy
police and prison record, made an effort
yesterday TO put in execution threat he
had made three years ago against Precinct
Detective Hartigan, but when the officer
and his prisoner appeared in court this
morning it was evident that the former
had not been worsted. Handy is nearly
fifty years old. He admitted to Judge Kim
bah that he had served terms In the peni-
tentiary, jail and workhouse. Just how
many times he had been sent to iail for as
sault he could not remember On the occa-
sion of his last visit to court he was given
two years in Jail and six months on the
farm.
He was released from prison last week,
Yesterday Handy was arrested for rails
ing disturbance near the 9th street depot.
and was on his way to the police station in
the patrol wagon when he again threatened
the detective with personal violence and
Hartigan warned him against any attempt
Of that kind. Handy, who was then seated
next TO the officer. changed his seat to the
opposite side of the wagon and almost i'm
mediately attacked the officer. Remember
ing the previous threats and knowing the
dangerous character of Handy the officer
defended himself with his fist
When the station was reached Handv's
left eye and cheek needed a physician' 9
services. The officer had knocked him
down, and his hip was injured so that
when he appeared in court this morning he
was a little lame.
Handy said he had been drinking, and
disclaimed responsibility for what he had
done. Judge Kimball Informed him that
his excuse was not a valid one and gave
him tour months In jail.

AN INDIAN MIRnERER.s FATE.
Punishment That BefelI Him i'm a
Primitive Mexican Tribe.

From the City Of Mexico Two Republics.
Speaking Of primitive law among the Mex
lean Indians brings TO mind a curious case
that was told me some years ago in the
state of OaXaca by an old Zapotcca chief
who had become convert to Christianity.
He said that long while ago an American
botanist was travelling through the noun
tains of Oa&aca studying the rare and beau
tiful flora of that region. He had with him
a mozo from another part of the country.
He carried several gold pieces Sewed in
the lining Of his jacket. The mozo became
aware Of that fact. and one day when the
botanist got down on his knees 10 drink Al
little spring the mozO cut his head off
with machete, took the gold pieces and
He'd 10 the higher sierras.
Not long after the body was found by
some ZapOteca Indians who had seen The
botanist in former days studying the flowers
and plants near their village. They knew
that he was "A harmless and good man. be-
cause he loved the flowers All Mex
lean Indians love flowers. So they took the
body to the chief and told him what they
had seen and found. The old chief WAS
very indignant. What" he said shall
the kind stranger with the white face who
loved flowers and sought not our goods nor
lnsulted our women. come to such a dogs
death among us and not be avenged?"
He then dispatched four swift Indian run
ners in different directions. with orders not
TO return without the murderer After a
factor bound in their midst council OF
old men was called; the case was examined.
Inc guilt of the mozo was proved. as ho
SUI! mad with him the strange pieces of
gold
Then the old chief gave the sentence. 1t
was speedily performed. They led he treln-
bling murderer to the center Of the little
plaza. There four green stakes were driv-
en- in the ground. The murderer was
stripped naked and stretched by the wrists
and feet in the air among the four stakes,
to which he was lashed Then the Indians
made a great heap of unslaked lime under
the Wretched mans body, and when the
heap touched his breast and sides they
poured water over II until the sCalding
steam OF the burning lime had cooked all
the flesh from the bones. Then they took
the bones and threw them into a hole on
the mountain side.
And so was the stain of the murdered
mans blood covered and vengeance was
wrought by the Indians in behalf of the
white stranger who was good and loved

From Leslie's Weekly.
An o. d fact developed by the campaign Of
the list is this, at least it seems tu be es-
tablished, that, given equal hardships, men
in fine athletic training suffer more than
men in ordinary condition. Statistics show,
in this regiment, that the runners, the
jumpers, the crack bicycle riders and the
record men generally were reader fever
victims than their comrades and gave out
sooner in the emergencies of the battle
field. There was Sergeant Meeks a long
distance runner, and Hub Smith, a biCy-
Gle rider, and Siebold, winner of running
races, and Ott, sprinter and hurdler, and
Private Meeks. another bicycle rider, and
DiVanne, a runner, and so On through a
long list. Almost without exception these
fine athletes fell into illness or utter col
lapse with the first hard strain put upon
them. They made worse fever cases and
dysentery cases than the others, ana it
appeared to nurses and doctors a. beyond
question that the thorough physical train
ing which these men had completed just
before the war, in anticipation of the spring
athletic games, was a serious impairment
of their powers for resisting disease. 1t is
worthy Of note, also. that most of these
athletes INDUCED neither in drink nor to-
baCCo.
