Fins and Jamaicans Battle on
Russian Tramp Steamer.

officer Alfred, while patrollng his beat
wharf about 10 o'clock this forenoon, was
told that there was serious trouble AT
the wharf
He started at once TO investigate and
found there had been good deal of ex-
element and some blows on the tramp
steamer Astraea.
This steamer recently brought a cargo
of bananas to this port The crew Is
made up of Russian Fins and natives of
Jamaica. The latter are colored and
claim the Fins, who are the more num-
erous. are always looking for trouble.
Fred Dixon, one of the Jamaica natives,
i'm particular, claims TO have been used
badly, and told the officer that an old
Fin had thrown a butter dish at him,
which struck him on the head. Others
had stories to tell The Fin said that
after the dish was thrown Dixon went up
ON deck and got a bar of iron, and re-
turning To the forecastle, was about to
attack some one, but the bar was taken
away from him.
Dixon then ducked under the table and
got a club and struck Proio Enquin one
of the Fins with IL. IL was at first feared
that Enaulns ribs were broken, but DR..
Brown, who was on the steamer on busi-
ness found there were no broken ribs.
Enuuin made formal complaint to
Captain Mowry. who made a thorough in-
vestigation OF the case. The captain de-
cided that IL would be best TO, hold Dixon
for simple assault as there was no reason
to hold him for more serious charge.
Members OF the crew were astonshed at

are let fight all they wish Captain
Mowry however, Is not in favor of such
rows and hopes by this arrest 10 have the
