Charles Steafane Regarded as Being
justified In Defending His Rights.

Charles Steafane. a young man seventeen
years of age, attempted to defend his rights
while on a street car. it is said, and was
placed under arrest and compelled to spend
the night in a cell at the ninth precinct
police station. He was arraigned before
Judge Bundy this morning in the District
branch OF the Police Court on a charge
of disorderly conduct, but the court, after
hearing the evidence, failed to see where
the young man had been guilty of any
misconduct and promptly released him
from custody.
Policeman E. J. Wall Of the ninth pre-
cfnct. who preferred the charge against
Steafane, said that the young man was
passenger on one of the Maryland cars
last night and when 1t reached a point in
lexington the young man had some trouble
with colored girl who gave her name as
Catherine Cole. over the possession Of a
seat. Steafane explained to the court
that the seat he was occupying was only
intended for two people and that there was
colored woman seated beside him when
Catherine Cole attempted to force him out
Of his seat and became very angry because
he would not give way to her.
The girl. who was also arrested, secured
her release from the station house last
night by leaving IS collateral, which she
forfeited by her non-appearance in court

STRANDED FOUR DAYS
YOUNG CANADIAN ROBINSON CRUsoEs.

A couple Of young Canadians had accident to
their canoe and were left upon a small uninhab-
tied island for four days before help came during
which time they had nothing to eat but couple Of
packages Of Grape-Nuts.
In telling the story OF them says: There
was quite q party Of vs., and We prepared to spend
q jolly time hunting in Muskoka. l provisioped
the party, and among other supplies laid in stock
Of Grape-Suts food. Of which am very fond.

steamer landing. IL miles away. Just We push

rough, 80 turned our frail boat toward q small
island and padded with all our might to gain this
shelter. Heavy rain began to fall and We drove
the boat ashore with more haste than caution and

hole in the light canoe. We scrambled ashore and
hauled the boat up after us, and a nice plight we

I'VE were on a small island OF about a quarter
Of and out Of the track of steamers;
hole foot long in boat with neither tools nor
materials to repair 1t; shelter except some big
trees and our canoe, and food except the Grape
Nuts and milk.
For four long dreary days waited and hoped
for help and finally friends missed and or
ganized a search party and found US on the bare
little island.
''As we had no fishing tackle could not nsh,
and not having q fire could not cook. But
had three meals a day on Grape-Nuts and con-
densed milk, and when rescued we were none the
worse for our experience. Thanks to the 0raper
