POLLARD VS.. THE POLICE.
The COmmissiOners Decide to Drep
the Case After u Hearing

The Commissioners Decide to Drop
the Case After Hearing.
The District Commissioners decided to-
day TO take no action in the matter of
the complaint made by Christina Pollard
against the alleged conduct of Lieut. L.
H. Holiinberger of the Fourth precinct,
and Policeman Sullivan. one OF his off
GERS, in connection with the arrest of her
daughter some time ago. Miss Pollard
lives at No. 126 Second Street northwest,
and made several very serious charges
against the policeman, alleging that he
visited her house, pulled her daughter out
of bed cursed and struck her, and dragged
her to the Police Station in a half nude
condition. The statements made by Lieu
tenant Hollinberger and his men, on the
other hand, refute these allegations, and
tend to show to the Commissioners that
the Pollard woman has an unsavory char
acter, and brought charges against the po-
lice so that they might be intimidated
and not interfere with her.
The incident about which the Pollard
woman complains occurred about 1:30
o'clock Sunday morning, June %. She al
leges that the policeman entered her house
Without pTUFOcdllou
The Commissioners referred the allega-
tions to Lieutenant Hollinberger for a
statement. In his reply, he said that the
trouble grew out Of complaint by Mrs.
Mary Holden, of No. 421 Second Street, to
the effect that, through mistake she had
handed Henry Pollard, a huckster, two
five-dollar gold pieces on the night of Sat
urday June "a. She thought she had given
him two nickels.
Policeman Sullivan visited the Pollard
house in search of the huckster. The man
was not at home. Sullivan claims that
Mary Pollard, the daughter, used indecent
language, whereupon he entered the house,
and arrested her. He alleges that she was
intoxicated. The case was tried in the Po-
lice Court June 26, and the girl was fined
So.
Regarding the complaint against himself,
Lieutenant Hollinberger states that when
the Pollard woman visited the Fourth pre-
cinct police station on the morning follow
ing the arrest, she began to abuse Police
man Sullivan in particular and the entire
police precinct in general. Lieutenant Hol-
linberger alleges that the whole family is
composed of hard characters. He states
that the woman keeps fence or re-
pository for stolen goods, that her house
was searched for stolen goods in 1898, at
which time her son was convicted for buy
ing stolen oats. He says that she brings
charges against policemen for the purpose
Of intimidating them.

AN ENGINES WILD FLIGHT.
Exciting Ride on Runaway Trac
tiOn Locomotive

Exciting Ride on Runaway Trac-
tiOn Locomotive.
Altoona, Pa, July 14.-Walter Williams
had an exciting ride on a wild traction To-
comotive on Shearer Hill yesterday after
noon. Half way up the steep incline a
cog wheel broke, and the awkward, big
machine began to descend the hill back
wadr. At the bottom of the hill IS an
ordinary wagon bridge spanning the creek
and to miss it meant trouble. Williams
was afraid to take his hands off the steer
ing apparatus long enough to scramble
out of the engineers box and jump. SO he
concluded to trust to his luck. The big
machine was completely beyond control. it's
great weight adding to its momentum every
second.
Straining every nerve to the ordeal, Will
liams ran the locomotive safely over the
narrow bridge. Beyond was another hill,
and the traction locomotive ran fifty yards
up this incline before the force of gravity
caused it to stop for second Then it
dawned on Williams, that he had to cross
the bridge again. In an instant the ma
chine was again on the downward course.
There was crash when the. locomotive
struck the iron railing on one side Of the
bridge, but, as luck, had it, the rail posts
did not break under the immense weight
and the locomotive hung half suspended
in midair, while its driver, limp from
freight, scrambled to the bridge floor.

The squire's Dilemma.


A justice of-the peace in of the West End
borougfs issued a WARRANT for the arrest of
West End woman for SANDER. Squire s. j. White
happened to be present at the hearing. The prose-
cutor testified that the defendant had called her
an "old virago,'' and that she had added: II
don't know what that means. but whatever it
is that's what you are" The witness admit
ted that she did not know what the meaning Of
the word was, either, but she knew it had no
good meaning, or the other wouldn't have made
use of 1t.
mo matter what it means,' said the squire,
who is an intensely patriotic American, ''it's a
foreign name, and she had no business calling
you it. PIl fine her for it,
esquire whispered Squire White in his ear
"you have no jurisdiction in slander suits; they
must be entered in court"
"well, I'll hold her for court, then,' the
squire declared.
''But there's no law under which You can do
that" he was told,
'sWell, I'll hold her, anyhow he replied, "and
test the constitutionality Of the act"
"But there Is no act," persisted Squire White
"Get out Of this ofice!'' commanded the
squire. turning to him; do you think I'm 60
ing to allow you to come in here and learn me
the lawY'
'eYou-uns 60. too he said, turning to the
women. You're both released on your own
recogg- -xance until this court finds out what
the darnation to do with this case.'

Senor Gonzalo de Quesada, Special Com
missioner of Cuba at Washington, has re-
Gently had several interviews with Presi-
dent Mckinley on the subject of the in
dustrial relief of the islanders. die has
brought forward with considerable force
the proposition that it would be more
profitable and more rational to furnish the
INDECENT Cubans with cattle, seeds, and ag-
ricultural implements than with rations.
n the Cubans who are now dependent on
bounty are to be rendered self supporting
they should be provided with the means Of
sustaining themselves by their own efforts,
he argues. President Mckinley has ap-
peared favorably impressed with the propo-
sition and has referred the matter to Gov
ernor General Brooke for formal report.
The efforts of SenoT Quesada are In line
with the representations made TO General
Brooke by Senior Gomez, Civil Governor of
Santa Clara province, and committee OF
Cuban farmers.
1t Is said that back from the towns and
lines of railway there is presented great
waste of desolated country. One may ride
for day without finding the shelter even
of palm-Ieaf hut 1t is also said that
the Cuban farmer has practically made no
attempt to resume the cultivation of his
fields. The small farmers and farm la
borers are still in the towns where 1t is
supposed that they live on the daily issue
of army rations. They cannot leave the
towns and go back to the country homes
without inviting starvation, as they have
no work animals. no tools, no seeds, and
| no domestic supplies. Little has been done
by the great sugar estates toward replant-
ing the fields with cane, and it is said
that the came crop is actually less this
year than last, by several thousand tons.
! 1t is believed that a report on the sub
| ject Of industrial relief may be received
from General Brooke this week. Commits
sioner Quesada believes that one Of the
| best ways TO relieve the Cubans is to give
! them an opportunity to help themselves,
and this they cannot do without material
with which to restore the now barren
| wastes of land to a productive condition.
1t is believed that the new Cuban commits
sioner's presentation of the matter to the
President has aroused Mr.. McKinley's in
4 terest in the problem to such an extent
that some way will soon be devised for the
encouragement of Cuban industry and the
restoration of the productivity of the ISL
and in the way of agriculture

A RAID ON MooNsHINERs.
Capture of Illicit whisky In Some
Get County. Pm.

Capture of Illicit whisky In somer-
set County. Pa.
Altoona, July IA raid of revenue men,
headed by Deputy Collector Dickson. was
made into the moonshine section of Som
erset county yesterday. The posse con-
sisted of six men, all of whom were heav-
lily armed. Near the summit of the Blue
Ridge the stills were discovered. Fire
was still burning in the boilers and every
thing indicated hasty fight on the part
of the moonshiners. The revenue men
took possession of the stills, one of which
had a capacity of eighty gallons and the
other forty. They concealed themselves
in the bushes and late last night awaited
the return of the moonshiners. Toward
dawn one of them was seen climbing the
mountain, with his Winchester ready for
business. Before he reached the stills he
detected the presence Of the officers, and
with shot of defiance ran down into the
forest. dozen or more shots were fired
after him, one of which struck home, for
blood was found on the leaves after he had
disappeared.
Failing in their effort to capture the
outlaws, the officers destroyed the two
stills and confscated ten gallons of illicit
whisky, which they took to Somerset.

MEXICANS KIDNAPPED.
Four Of Them Seized at Noaales
And Afterwards Shot in Mex

A Nogales special says the grand
jury investigation discovered that four
Mexicans had recently been kidnapped
at Nogales with the connivsnce of the
officials of Santa Cruz county and hand
ed over to the Mexican authorities
without process of law. The four men
were summarily tried and shot by the
Mexican auth critics.
An attempt to iudict District Attor-
ney Harlow on account of the same
failed.
1t is alleged that the kidnapped
Mexicans were hard cases and this
means was used to dispose of them
with the understanding that their kid
mapping and execution should be sup
pressed. as the relations between the
American and Mexican citizens on
both sides of the line, now most cordial,
might be disturbed if official action
was taken by the American authorities.
