that the matter had been amicably set
tied.
Yesterday morning, however, Captain
Johnson received telephone message
from one of the foremen telling him
that the men had refused to go to
work unless they received the same
pay they had been getting. He imme-
diately went to the men and explained
to them how impossible their demands
were, but the arguments of the agita-
tors appeared to outweigh the common
sense of the Government official He
also offered them the alternative of ac-
cepting this temporary reduction or of
part of the men being retained and a
part discharged, by which means he
could keep within the appropriation.
The men, however, would not listen to
any suggestion of compromise and
ent of Public Works James Boyd, to
whom they repeated their demands. He
informed them that they could not draw
more money than the Legislature had
placed funds at his disposal

LIGHT
DAY FOR WILCOX
Children Appeared as Prin-
cipals In Three of the
Cases.

In the District Court yesterday the case
Of Ing Kwai. charged with assault and
battery on Malta, seven year old ma
tive girl, was nolle prosd. Malta evil
IDENTITY did not realize the solemnity of
an oath and Attorney Brooks objected
TO her testimony As complainant was the
only witness of the assault there was
no other course for the prosecution to
pursue but TO nolle PROSE- the case.
The case of 10 Chong Sing charged
with assault and battery on Joe Bent
was also nolle pros'd.
Matsumoto, charged with larceny in
the second degree, had his case contin-
ued until today.
Akis-aki, charged with the offence of
common nuisance, was fined So and costs.
All sam, charged with assault and bat
terry on Keakin, was discharged 1t APP
peared that defendant happened to meet
a boy who was carrying number of
fine guavas. He asked the boy to
give him some but the young man said
him nay. Thereupon All Sam proceeded
TO tickle the boy hoping by this means
to make him relax his hold upon the
basket of fruit. The result of the
strategy was that between them they
bumped into bench on which was sit
ting Keakini, another small boy. Kea-
KIM raised an uproar to the effect that
his leg was hurt and went and told his
father about it. Hence The case.
Children had the floor in the next case
which was that OF All King charged with
assault and battery on Maggie Luluhi
The two were playing happily together
until All King annexed Maggie's mango
and the fair complainant said that she
didn't want defendant to play in her
yard any more. On hearing. this ulti-
matum he was filed with grief and an
ger and Selling a small rock hurled it
at his playmate. 1T struck her where
her hair parted. Judge Wilcox rep
rimanded and discharged the defendant.
Kanehiwa, charged with gambling, got
off lightly with a fine of 81 and costs.
Jonn Waipa was committed for trial
for malicious injury. Defendant as is
not unusual with his sex had a female
friend to whom from time to time he
gave sundry dresses and head-gear. 1t
appeared that defendant was in the
habit, whenever the girl offended him,
of taking his gifts away from her.
Recently the pair had words and John
was so put out that he seized the girls
entire wardrobe and burned it.
Questioned by the judge as to the rea-
son of his strange behavior defendant
said that his great aloha for complain
ant prompted him to act as he did, In
committing Waipa for trial his honor
remarked that the case would have been
bad enough had the girl been his wife,
as matters stood his conduct had been
simply preposterous.
Kahahana, j.. Kawaiio and Mokuhi
were fined 81 and costs apiece for drunk
enness
Daniel Pala a boatboy was reprimand-
ed and discharged for having failed to
conspicuously display his badge.

der to show that no favoritism was to
be shown Mr.. Johnson offered to make
up the balance of the cut, $3.50. out of
his own salary. BY afternoon the gar
bage force had been re-organized and
was cleaning the streets again New
men have been employed TO take the
places of those in the excavating de-
partment and that branch of the work
was also started again last night. There
has not been the slightest difficulty in
securing new men to take the places
of the strikers, and though the force
will be somewhat smaller because of the
reduced appropriation Captain john
son hopes to be able to give the same
efficient service as heretofore.
The strikers so far have threatened
no violence. though they forced one or
two men to join them that were reluct-
ant to go out.

REFUSE TO ACCEPT
SMALLER PAY
Garbage and Excavator Men Go
on a Strike-Forty-Seven
Men Discharged.

Forty-seven men employed in the
garbage collection and excayating di-
vision of the Department of Public
Works went on strike yesterday
morning because Samuel johnson, who
has charge of that branch of work,
each for this month. The move was
made imperative by the reduction in
the appropriation made by the Legis-
lature After vain attempt to secure
their consent to a reduction, the men,
the majority of whom are natives, led
by a few agitators, went to the Capitol
and called upon Superintendent Boyd of
the Board of Public Works with a like
result Further argument being use
less, the men were discharged and their
names will be posted so that they will
be unable in the future to obtain any
employment from the Government in
any of It's departments.
The pay roll of this department of
rublic works had been up to this
month slightly over $1,000 per month,
the department having been under con-
troll of the Board of Health. The Leg
iSlature placed IL uHueT CndESe VI gu
perintendent Boyd at the last session
and cut down the appropriation to ST.
$50 per month, making saving of $3.50
necessary in some form or other.
Captain Johnson first received noti-
fication of this cut "Wednesday. when
the pay roll he had sent to the Auditor
was returned with the Endorsement that
there was not enough funds in the
Treasury for it's payment. To make up
this shortage Mr. Johnson suggested to
the men that they each accept a cut OF
$3.50 per month, when their wages
amounted to but $40 and OF IS If their
monthly salary was $50 or over. This
ARRANGEMENT was accepted by the mer

Death of Mrs. Spiegel.

Mrs. A. M. Spiegel died at her home
at the Diamond Sawmill, Wednesday
night about O'Clock, after brief ill
ness.
Deceased was born in Poland, and
was aged "a years and II months. In
company with her husband she came
to Alpine county in November, 1896,
where she has since resided. Her hus-
band, four children, four sisters and
two brothers are left to mourn. Isador
Cohn, the proprietor of Diamond Saw
mill, is brother of deceased and Mrs.
Samuels and Mrs. Segal, we'll known
here'and in Alpine county, are sisters.
Mrs Spiegel was a woman of most
amiable character, and in consequence
possessed large circle Of friends. She
was a devoted wife and mother and
thoroughly happy in her home. In
her death it may be truly said that a
good and companionable woman has
been removed from life's activities
while she was yet in the prime of
womanhood, leaving an aching void
in the hearts of her loved ones that
only time can fill.
The griefstricken ones have the sin
cere sympathy of the entire commun-
ity. The light of home goes out when
mother dies.
Mrs. Spiegel will be buried to-day in
the Jewish cemetery at Carson. The
funeral procession will leave the late
home of the deceased at o'clock this
morning.

Memorial Day.
morning.

The custom of observing the Both of
May as Memorial Day is almost uni
versal throughout the United States.
Originally the distinctive purpose of
the day was the decoration of the
graves of the northern soldiers who
fell in the Civil war, but as the fleeing
years passed it outgrew those narrow
limits and is now recognized as a day
upon which the thoughts of the living
turn toward those whose life work is
ended and who rest in the silence of
the grave.
This year the Odd Fellows and Re-
bekahs, the school children and the
citizens of the county will observe
Memorial Day at Genoa as usual.
Services will be held at the church at
! o'clock, Rev. Welty officiating, after
which the procession will form and
march to the cemetery, where ad-
ditional services will be held and ap-
propriate music rendered. Then all
will join in decorating the graves of
loved ones.
We hope the attendance of our citi-
zens next Thursday will be large and
that the observance Of this beautiful
custom will be general.

Kahn VS.. Elges.

The case of Kahn vs. Elges was tried
by jury of six in Justice Ezelps court
Wednesday, and the jury brought in a
verdict for the defendant. The plain
tiff gave notice of an appeal to the
District Court and the mills of Justice
will grind slowly on.
In this interesting case Mr.. Kahn,
the plaintiff, sues to recover the sum
of $3.50.
The plaintiff alleges that some time
ago he made a bet with G. M. Krum-
mes of this place of so to So and the
money was deposited in Henry Elges'
hands. The plaintiff bet Krummes
that he sold him bill of goods in JAN
uary, 1896, and Krummes bet that he
didn't, claiming that he did not go into
business until October, 1896.
A year or so later Elges turned the
amount of the stakes $3.50 over to
Krummes. Afterwards Kahn had talk
with Elges and Elges gave him an order
on Krummes for 81 so, the amount bet
by Kahn and deposited in Elges' hands.
Krummes refused to pay the order,
and Kahn now sues Elges.

An enthusiastic Ohio girl, petite

way over, and who had been roaming
in Europe and Egypt and all around
for year, fairly went wild with Joy
when the captain pointed out to her

something to, the big ebewhiskered
captain.
'Gentlemen," said the captain with
whimsical smile, "this little lady
says that her father and six brothers
in Ohio are all Democrats, and that
she will kiss every Democrat on board

captain, glazing about as if defying

Bulltrogs.

Gus Frey of Reno proposes to start a
frog farm and has received two boxes
of bullfrogs direct from New Orleans.
The Gazette says these will be crossed
with the Nevada product in this line
with view of lettering the strain, SO
to speak.
The bull frogs are almost as big as
your hat and have a mouth that for
size is simply astonishing. a
Two or three of the frogs got out of
the boxes at the express office and the
boys proceeded to corral them, but
this was a harder job than one would
think, as the CRITTERS" would jump
nearly eight feet at single bound.
They were captured, however, and
taken out to Mr.. Frey's ranch and in
about eight months we may expect to
see the restaurants and chop houses
loaded to the guards with superior
quality of frogs.
The genuine bullfrog of the size men,
toned by the Gazette is an all-round
good thing. In some of the Eastern
States the frogs are used on dairy
farms. They will kick out ten or
twenty pounds of butter when placed
in a vat of cream about as quick as
anything.
