JOHN CHINAMAN WON
He Gave Negro Run for the
Money.

A Chinaman was walking up North
Main street yesterday morning with a
bundle Of clothes on his arm when a
negro, with heavy jag" made some
insulting remarks about the almon-eyed
''washee" man. The little man from
the Flowery Kingdom was about half the
size of the African, but what he lacked
in size he made UP IN nerve, and he made
that negro think the Boxers were after
him with the fun force OF the tribe. The
man with the pigtal resented the insult
offered and he sailed into the black man
most viciously The coIored man landed
on the yellow fellow with a solor plexus
blow that made him groggy and mad.
John Chinaman grabbed a long cane hsh-
pole from in front of Palmer's store and
waded in on that negro. The ash-pole
was broken in a dozen pieces and then
began a race south on Main street and
East on First to the alley and then south.
The Chinaman gave up the chase then
and came hack 70 the store and paid for
the hsh-pole and borrowed a baseball bat
and started after his enemy again but
the negro had been sobered By his melee
and had made good his escape and the
Orient walked back to the store and re-
turned the bat

if he would not let my folks know about
it and he said he would. or something
like that. But l guess he did not do so
for my mother did not know where ] was.
About O'Clock my parents were in
formed that I was In Jail"
When Police Clerk Sutton was asked

ANOTHER RATE
COME down
Frisco Gives Wichita Big Re
duction on Bananas
CUT OF SEVENTEEN CENTS
Means Big Saving TO Consum-
ing Men of This City.

Again the big Frisco system has den
onstrated its friendliness for Wichita
The Frisco is not afraid Of the initiativ,
and to that this city owes much.
The latest favor came yesterday. Til
was big reduction in the rate on ba
nanas. from 81 cents to 50 cents per hun
bred pounds from New Orleans.
As is known and as has been repeated
ly published. Wichita is an importar
distributing point in the banana trad
supplying a large territory with III
fruit which is shipped directly here fro.
New Orleans.
The rate for a long time has been
cents per hundred pounds on a minimu.
of 10000 pounds, a car load lot. 1t ha.
pened that the rate 10 Colorado point
on shipments through Wichita. was
cents per hundred pounds. So the raj
roads gave Wichita a 95-cent rate also.
The reduction of II cents on the hur
dred pounds granted by the Frisco We,
terday means a big saving TO the con,
also extend Wichita's territory in IN.
matter OF fruit distribution. The new
rate is effective August l.
Some idea of the magnitude Of the say
ing may be gained from the fact tina
over 100 car loads of bananas are shipp,
in and unloaded at Wichita yearly. o.
of the complaints made by the city %.
fore the Interstate Commerce commits
sion was based on the banana rate
Those interested were greatly pleased
when the information of the reduction
came 10 them, and some regard it as
the fore-runner of like corrections in the
freight tariffs
All were unanimous in their praise of
the Frisco road which has not hest
tated in the past to extend a helping
hand to the city and to demonstrate its
interest in this. one Of the principal
cities on its extensive system.
