Chief Justice was openly threatened by
one Of the chiefs.
GERMAN CONSUL BREAKS WORD.
The three consuls agreed to issue a
proclamation. putting the Chief Jus
ticc and his residence under the pro-
lection of the treaty powers. For some
reason the German consul broke his
word and declined To carry out the
the agreement. The British and Ameri-

nation and hoisted their national flags
over the residence Of the Chief Jus
tice.
NEW KING RECOGNIZED.
on December 31st the Chief Justice

struck little bit higher Lareau would
have had one eye, and no more. His lips
are a mass of broken flesh. 1t would
appear that after being cut his assailant
either kicked his face or tried to break
a fiat-iron over his mouth.
Lacosse says that he did not cut the
man; that they came together and eN-
changed blows. and that the cuts were
made by the ring he wore on his right
hand. If the cut under the eye was
made with II ring, it may be well to in
vestigate the construction of that very
queer ring. Anything from bootiack to
a cannon ball is capable of leaving a
mans mouth in a condition similar to
that of Lareaus. but there is only one
ring that was ever credited with doing
execution like that from which Lareau is
losing sleep.
A charge of assault was booked against
the man with the ring. Officers Curley
and McGlynn made the arrest.

Peter Schonsberg, charged with dis
turbance of the peace. Deputy County
Attorney Roy S. Alley represented the
state and John w. Cotter appeared for
the defendant. The defendant, the
prosecuting witness and all the wit
nesses were Italians, and assisted by
an interpreter. the attorneys succeeded
in unravelling the matter so as to dis
cover that the affair was the ordinary
Chicken Flat neighborhood vendetta,
and that the trouble all arose over a
pound of baking powder, and the prize
that the prosecutrix claimed ought to
have gone with the baking powder and

At the conclusion of the testimony the
deputy county attorney requested the
court to instruct the jury to return a
verdict of not guilty.

Mr.. Collins went to the house, and by

and sister were in the room, and when
Collins announced that he was an officer
and had a warrant for Powell the women
told him that the man was not in the
house, but he announced his intention of
searching the place.
He was told he could do so, and one of
the women led the way into the kitchen
and opened trap door leading into the
cellar and invited the officer to go down
and search it, but he did not know but
what there might be some evil intention
behind the invitation and he declined it,
saying he would prefer to search the up

to go up and found Powell there, as he
had suspected.

Collins sent for a hack and had him ia

certain of a term in the penitentary.

4 Modest Appearing Woman Arrested
for Vagrancy by the Police.

LOT NaSfancy ny tne iOllCe.
Mrs. j. d. Roger modest appearing
woman of about 36 years of age, was ar
rested and jailed yesterday on the
charge of vagrancy. There is ground for
the belief that the woman is crazy. She
hired a hack and was driven all over the
city, the driver trying hard to find the
person or persons the woman wanted to
see. At last the time for discriminating
arrived and then it was that the hacky
learned that he had a losing proposition
on his hands-the woman refused to pay
her fare, and before she ceased bera ting
the hackman she was in jail. She said
that she was a detective from Chicago
and was on the hot trail of a fugitive
from justice. She wanted to see a priest
any priest would do. She also wanted
three or four messengers at once.
Mrs. Rogers has been in jail before
She has been up on charges of shoplifting
and also made a splurge in Missoula,
where she was arrested for shoplifting.
Religion is her hobby and at one time
she was the wife of a Salvation Army
soldier. She was later in the day taken
to the county jail
