THE MATTER TOO TRIVIAL.
Marines Arrested for Playing Ball
fR the streets DismIssed

Two hours Of the time Of the Police
Court, the efforts OF three attorneys. the
testimony OF half dozen witnesses, and
the p>.Ience Of everyone not directly in
terested in the case was consumed in the
hearing yesterday morning Of Corporal
William c. Walters and Private Edward
Walters, of the United States Marine
Corps, who were charged with playing
baseball in the street The case was
finally dismissed.
The real cause Of the elaborate conten-
ton was the fact that vigorous COM
plants have recently been made by peO-
pie living near the scene OF the bail play
ing on the reservation between Georgia
a ID Virginia Avenues and Ninth and
Eleventh Streets southeast Policeman
Dent, OF the Fifth precinct, arrested the
two Walterses on Monday and charged
that they were knocking ball from the
reservation into the street.
A number OF marines, including Capt.
Henry W. Carpenter, testified that only
one bail was knocked IN the street
Every marine who took the staad testi-
fed that Policeman Dent was drunk
This caused considerable surprise, as
Dent is generally regarded a competent
officer. Lieutenant Mccathran, OF Tho

case with the statement that too much

THE BLOW THAT
KILLED THE COW
A Native Named Manaole Makes
Beef With a Stroke OF
His Fist.

Every now and again one hears Of the
man who killed horse with a blow from
his fist. The man himself has never yet
admitted the feat of strength, nor, as far
as the records show, was the body of
the horse found. II -%As
The man who killed cow with piece
of rock is, however, a real flesh and
blood parsonage, and will be on exhibi-
ton in the District Court this morning.
1t appears that native man named
Manaole, who lives in Nuuanu Valley,
had some misunderstanding with the
wife of a neighbor named V. Souza. Last
Saturday, it is said, Manaole visited
Souza's place and struck Jersey COW
belonging to Souza over the head with
rock, killing 1t instantly. The animal
was valued by Souza at s125.
DR.. Shaw examined the dead bovine
and found that death was due to hemor-
rhage of the brain, caused by a blow
with some hard substance.
Yesterday Souza swore to a warrant
charging Manaole with having committed
malicious injury, and the latter was ar
rested.

GHOST ORDERS A HAT
Returns to Earth and Leaves Order
at Millinery Shop.
Strange Customer shows Rare Taste
in Selection of IA Bonnet which
Has, Thus Far, Not Been
Called For.

That spirits do return from the
grave and appear TO mortals is a
proposition that for ages has had
its believers and disbelievers, but in
the little town of Dublin, Ind, there
Is now only one opinion, and that is
that spirits do walk the earth at
times in mortal form. The reason for
this pronounced belief at Dublin is
an occurrence which has recently
taken place there and which is so
well yOuched for that there is not a
gkeptic in the town.
Dublin, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean, is occupied by a well-to-do
and intelligent class of people,
shrewd, hard-headed specimens of
the HOOsier type, a class that is not
led away by its emotions, and is in
tensely practical. Among the resi-
dents is Mrs. Sallie Smith, who has
lived there many years and who con-
ducts a millinery store.
One day last May a nice-Iooking old
lady came into Mrs. Smiths store.
She appeared to be about 20 years
old, and was tastefully dressed in
black. She introduced herself to Mrs.
Smith as Mrs. NJ, and said that
she had OnIy recently come to Dub
lin and wanted to order a bonnet.
The selection of this and the deter
mination of its trimmings proved to
be long operation, for old ladies are
quite as fastidious as the young ones
when it comes to the selection of a
bonnet.
During the work of choosing the
bonnet Mrs. Smith and her customer
got quite well acquainted. In the
course of their conversation Mrs.
Smith learned that her customer was
the sister of Mrs. Rhoda ScottOn, of
Brownsville, Ind, who is well known

There used 10 be some funny ones

there were some mighty funny ones.
remember particularly an old Justice
of the peace down there, who per
formed all sorts of offices, particularly
those of a religious or semireHgious
nature, in the absence Of a minister.
He made some awful breaks in his
time; but he didn't reach the height Of
his originality until the day he chris
tened the newly born child of cowboy
named Wilson. I'll tell you about it.
IN these days We never worried
much about christenings and such in
Texas. We simply slapped a name on
kid and if a minister happened along
We had him 60 through the regular
form; if not, We let it go at that and
the kid never knew the difference.
This Wilson, however, was strong on
religion, though l reckon he didn't
know so very much about il, and when
his pretty little wife presented him
with a son he set about to have the
child regularly branded by some one
in authority. There was a minister
within negotiable distance, and so he
brought the child, accompanied by its
mother and the intended sponsors, to
our justice of the peace and asked him
to perform the ceremony. Now, old
Bill" Scrug0inS-that was the iuS-
tees name-had never witnessed a
christening. He remembered having
seen a book about the house years be
fore with a form of christening in it;
but where it was he could not remem-
Der. A man with less nerve would
have faltered; but not the justice.
