''We sailed from Manu. Fla., on New
Years morning, reaching Havana harbor
next morning, and anchoring about 200
from the wreck Of the Maino. The voy-
age was very pleasant one, and we had
fine weather until we got beyond the Flor
ida keys. when some very rough weather
was encountered. We got ashore about
evening, and passed our first night on Gu.
ban soil, under II shad, but We were all tir
cd, and did not mind this Orders to move
came late next day, and we marched UNI
til O'clock at nigh. to reach our camp,
located in small suburb on tho north
coast about three miles from Havana.

having had cool breeze all the time.

were opened, and found full OF bodies, some

which arc far worse than any fiction over
written.
1T is q wonder tho entire population

long before now. The people in our coun.

The chief justice smokes the same priced

He is exceedingly economical in his per-

new clothes. His friends say he does not
eat enough to keep a child alive. His daily
fare is a cup Of coffee for breakfast, a glass
Of milk and two or three raw oysters for
lunch and a simple dinner, preferably in the
New England style. He is very fond OF
boiled cod and pumpkin pie. He never
walks. He does not care for cards. In
fact, books are his only passion. He reals
everything from philosophy and 6iographl-

stories. He goes TO bed early, sometimes

ONE HUNDRED AND COSTS
Henry Nelson Convicted of Selling
Liquor on Sunday at His
Saloon.

Henry Nelson, Who conducts a saloon at
2239 North Twentieth street, was fined 500
and costs by Judge Gordon for keeping his
saloon open on Sunday, January 90. In rem
dering his decision the court said that where
there was a tacit understanding that saloons
would be permitted TO remain open Sunday
he did not think It right 10 find one guilty
when others were not compelled 10 pay the
same penalty. He considered the Nelson case
one in whi-h executive clemency should be
exerted and he would recommend IL If re-
quested. The case will probably be appealed
as the defendant was given until Monday
to secure bond for il.
The case Ct J. d. Layton. who was ac-
cused OF forging and uttering a forged in
strument, was resumed when Joe Bush was
placed On the stand. Bush testified that he
was given the meal ticket on Lloyd's res
taurant by another man. He said Layton
gave H. F. Carley the ticket and later Car
ley gave it TO him.
Layton denied that Bush was present
when he went 10 the lodging house. He said
he had never been arrested before and he
was not guilty this time. His home is in
Fairmont, where he was raised.
Judge Gordon held him to the district
court and placed the bond at 500.
Judge Gordon settled the case wherein
Henry Williams was accused OF the larceny
Of a ring as bailee by discharging the de-
PENDANT. Williams was charged with the dis
position OF a S43 ring by Hattie M!lligan,
who claimed she won it at a dance where
1t was awarded her as the best Walter.
She loaned il to Williams to wear and he
pawned il. He insisted that she had given
il TO him, so he could not steal what al
ready belonged 10 him.
