The Wind is Guilty.
(Rv the Associated Press.)

Detroit, Dec. 26.-The official statement
issued at the general offices of the Pere
Marquette Railroad here declares that the
high wind was responsible for the wreck
by blowing out the red lights ir the sig
nal board at McCord's, which was put out
to stop the westbound train. The state
ment says
Both trains had orders to meet at
Oakdale Park, but as the westbound train
was not doing as we'll as was expected
the orders were changed. The trains were
then ordered to meet and pass at Fox,
the first crossing east of Oakdale Park.
The eastbound train got the new orders
at Ninth Avenue in Grand Rapids, and
the operator at McCord's, where the west
bound train was to receive its orders, put
out his red signal on the order board
The westbound train came along and ran
by the signal. The McCord's operator
Immediately reported this to the train dis
patcher and then went Immediately to his
signal board, where he found that the
light was out. The light was burning and
showing red two minutes before the train
westbound came along The high winds,
however, blew it out in that short time"

RASCAL s CONDUCT
A Negro's Impertinence
to a White Lady.
A White Man Knocks Down a Negro
Man Who Later Turns Out to be
a Negro Woman.

The mayor had before him a number of
offenders yesterday.
Henry Humphrey, negro boy, was sent
to court under a bond for $50 for assault
and battery. He had struck a negro wo.
man with a piece of iron.
Ed PIERCE, huckster in the market,
was fined $7.25 for entering his stall an
hour before the time set under the law.
Buck Hutchings, white, charged with
knocking down a negro woman, was re-
leased. 1t appears that there was a
crowd in Deboy's barroom and that n
seeming negro man Wiley cursed Hutch
ings, who at once struck the man. as he
thought but the man turned out to be a
negro woman in mans attire. She dress
ed up as man in order to get into a
barroom and then cursed so that she
might further resemble the crowd she was
with.
Lee Hawkins, the negro who drives for
Kennette's grocery, paid up So for his
impertinencc and curiosity. He attempted
to peer under the skirt of Mrs. Cora
Wicker. The lady lives on South West
street and had gone to West South street
to put cloak on a little girl. AS she
was STOPPING over to Go this Hawkins
came up behind her and caught the edge
Of her skirt. AS he did so a little girl
near at hand knocked the skirt down.
Hawkins declared that he thought Mrs
Wicker was a man dressed in woman's
clothes, whom he thought was out for a
Christmas froic. His excuse was not
taken.
