JUDGE wilcox TO RESCUE.
WILLING TO SETTLE DAMAGES
HIMSELF.
Thought That 81 Gross Cheat Charge
Was Too Petty to Bother With.
Wanted to Pay Bill.

There was one complaint presented
to Judge Wilcox yesterday which did
not meet with the favor of the court.
In fact, his honor declined to issue any
warrant. He offered to compromise the
matter himself rather than have to try
such petty case.
Paulina Drach charged Fritz Fisher
with gross cheat. According to the
complaint made by Paulina, Fritz had
obtained from her two hens of the value
of 81 in exchange for a rooster. The
complainant did not allege that she had
been done up" in the deal on account
of her hens beino worth more than the
rooster. Her contention was that Fisher
had been guilty of the crime of gross
cheat because of the fact that he had
negotiated for the two hens when the
rooster was not his property but be-
longed to Frank Foster.
"Humph," remarked Judge Wilcox,
"embezzled two hens? Well this is toe
petty to bother with. Here, where is
this complainant? 1 will give the 81
myself and take the chickens. 1 am
willing to give that much to get out of
trying a petty case like this. 1 can eat
the chickens for dinner"
The complainant was not present il
the office of Deputy High Sheriff Chill
lingworth. where the warrant was Civ
en- the judge to sign. so his honor had
to pocket his two plunks. He did not
sign the warrant but let it rest tenn
porarily until the complainant would
appear and arrange to give him the two
hens for his money.

some AMERICANS DOLOOT
CONSUL RAGsDALE FINDS THREE
GUILTY.
In Company With Some Chinese They
Looted a Pawn Shop Thirty Miles
From Peking-Their Trial.

Mr.. Ragsdale, the American Consul
at Tientsin held a Court on July IL at
his consulate for the trial of three Anne
ricans, James Winn, Richard Leslie
Butler and Alfred Plant, who were al
legged to have been concerned with
others in looting pawn brokers' shop
at Chang-koe Chuang, about 80 miles
N e. of Picking.
The defendants being brought in, to-
gether with Chinese whose shirt was
blood-stained and his feet shackled,
and the assessors having been sworn,
Chang Yung-feng pawnbroker of San
he hsien, was called, and said that five
foreigners and six Chinese, and four
carriers with four carts, appearing in
front of his shop and shouted out for
the door to be opened. The people in
the pawnshop, supposing that there was
no hostile intention, oDened the door
and received the foreigners as visitors
The foreigners, with arms in their
hands, then drove all the occupants of
the shop into the office. AS the foreign
ers could not speak Chinese, the native
who was acting as their interpreter
asked them which man was the pro-
prietor and demanded 5000 taes. The
proprietor replied that he could not
raise 5000 taels. One of the foreigners
then pointed out one of the pawnshop
people who was the accountant of the
SnOp, ana demanded money from MIN.
Four of the shops staff were then
bound. The foreigners interpreter next
led the way with lighted candle and
searched the place for money, breaking
open the wooden safe and took there
from a few taels in silver and "a taels-
worth of jewelry. They also broke open
the brickwork of two hangs and find
ing nothing there, again demanded
money. They raised the sum of 500
taels but being dissatisfied they still
went on riflng the place. At this point
a Chinese military patrol, noticing four
carts standing outside the gate, had
their curiosity aroused. The carriers
became frightened, and fed. The Chi
nese soldiers pursued them firing after
them. Out of the four carriers, only
one was captured. The foreigners in
the shop, hearing the firing, fired two
shots inside the shop and one out of the
door. The foreigners stopped in the
pawnshop all night, and about four
o'clock the next morning they came out
with the looted silver and jewelry.
The foreigners seized the brother of the
pawnbroker and made him walk with
them as a sort of hostage, to prevent
the Chinese soldiers from opening fire
on the party. They forced the man to
accompany them for a distance of over
two H. out of the village, the Chinese
soldiers pursuing them from behind.
All three were found guilty of rob-
berry with violence, and were sentenced
to four years Imprisonment each; pro-
badly to be served in Shanghai-Japan
Gazette.

"CAN DO" WILL NOT no

Out of all the men of the First Chi
nese Regiment-we trust it will also
be the very last-that went to the front
in north China, not more than 200 re-
turned to Wei-hai-wei. Few casualties
occurred amonP them, but the large
majority of the rank and file. who had
devoted themselves most industriously
to the collection of loot, simply desert
ed with this spoil. We regard this at
tempt to make soldiers out of the "can

and we earnestly advocate its early

Some persons have wondered about
the origin of the word Xmas which has
been explained thus: Many persons
suppose that the X in Xmas represents
the cross and wonder that it is not
written +mas. The X, however, has
nothing to do with the cross. 1t is
the Greek letter Chi, corresponding to
ch in our language, and in the initial
letter in the Greek name of Chris.
The words Chris mass were written
Xmas long before Christmas became
one word.

A Woman,s Awful Peril.

"There is only one chance to save
your life and that is through an oper-

by Mrs. 1. B. Hunt, of Lime Ridge,
Wis, from her doctor after he had
vainly tried to cure her of a frightful
case of stomach trouble and yellow
jaundice. Gall stones had formed and
she constantly grew worse. Then she
began to use Electric Bitters which
wholly cured her. It's a wonderful
Stomach, Liver and Kidney remedy.

Our diagnosis of the Democratic
agitation over the appointment of
voters assistants is borne out by the
Governors statement that the only
suggestion or inquiry made to him
about that matter came from Chairman
Willard Salisbury of the Democratic
E2ate Committee. The Democratic
s.4xiety on that matter was entirely
due to Mr.. Saulsbury's anxiety to learn
whether a Republican State executive
would act as he would expect Demo
crat State executive 30 act. A con-
sc,ousness of evil done brings fear of
Eetribution, hence Mr.. salisbury s fear.
