PITIFUL STORY OF A
SMALL TRUST GROCER

Consumers are beginning to be
benefited by the bold agh being put
up against the grocers' trust by the
Independent grocers through the cut
ting of prices In the neighborhood Of
the Independent groceries.
Another cut in the price of sugar
was made today when the trust Of
fered 16 pounds of the best sugar for
a dollar, or a sack for seas.
AS vet the trust has not gone to
lower prices on other staples and the
independent grocers are selling at
from is to Is per cent lower than
the trust on staples and keeping down
the prices on groceries in general.
Boxes of apples that are sold by
the trust for 30 cents and more are
sold for rs cents by the independent
grocers, who stili make fair profit,
Eggs are sold by the trust grocers
at 40 cents a dozen for the best and
the. same grade Ia sold by the inde-
pendent grocers for 80 cents a dozen.
Butter is sold with the same fair di.
vision of the profits by the grocera
outside OF the trust.

B. B. Adams, today filed petition in the superior court
asking review of the facts and findings Of the trial Of
his before the board Of police commissioners The
petition, nferentialy charges the board with crooked
work.
An alternative writ asked for was issued by Judge

ments the hearing before the board The writ is made
returnable November before Judge Richardson.
The papers set forth the charges filed by the mayor
October and the hearing October before the police
board when the plaintiff says, the board refused him
counsel, overTued his objections and disregarded his
rights in the premises and proceeded to take the evidence
of witnesses who not to tell the truth.

knowledge of the defendant in the action heard other and
additional testimony from John T. Sullivan, the exact
nature of which is to affant unknown.

HAD TERRIBLE
EXPERIENCE
tscripps News Association.

SAN BERNARDINO. Cal, Oct. 20.
II. Y. Foster. a wealthy mine owner
Of Redlands. has just returned to the
Castle Creek mining district in Ari-
xon a physical wreck as a result of
being poisoned while inspecting de-
posits OF potash, which he pur-
chased with other Redlands men. He
completed the Investigations and was
turning homeward when suddenly he
was stricken.
Many hours later he found himself
wandering aimlessly about In the
desert, his entire body blistered and
paining intensely. Gradually his
strength failed until he was unable
to walk and, more than 60 miles firm
civilization, without water. he sank
down on the burning sand. By sheer
force Of will he fought of uncon-
seriousness, which he felt creeping
over him. He crawled over the sand
until his hands and knees were raw.
He held out until night. when the
cool air revived him. Reaching the
mines. he mounted a horse and rode
to Phoenix. arriving there delirious.
It Is believed the poison taken into
his system while examining potash
deposits is responsible for his con-
dition.

CHEER AN
AMERICAN

LONDON, Oct. 29.-There was q
remarkable demonstration here early
yesterday morning in favor Of the
United States. 1t was all over a
drunken tar from the cruiser Olym-
pia. The sailor was arrested by q
policeman, onlookers say. needlessly
as ne was making no trouble. The
sailor resisted. and both he and the
policeman fell. The sailors head was
badly cut.
A crowd Of several hundred per-
sons gathered and demanded the sail
or's release. Other police came to
the scene and the crowd, which con-
tinued to increase, accused the police
Of brutality and hooted them. Sud
denly the boots gave way to cheers
for the United States and the Ameri-
can navy. They continued increasing
in volume until the police station was
reached. where a big force Of officers
scattered the crowd.

I'm his mother and I don't want

That was the excuse given by a
large, muscular, grsy-haired woman
when she began a fight yesterday eve
ming in front of No. 4 fire station
on First avenue. The fight was with
a younger womaR who knew some-
thing of the game also and 1t was a
battle which rejoiced the hearts of
the half hundred spectators who fol-
lowed the amazons for fully half a
mile through the city streets.
The two women and a man. the son
OF the elder woman, were aboard a
woodrack when the fight started. No
names were learned, hut in front of
the fire station the elder woman tried
to throw the unwelcome one from the
wagon.
A regular pitched battle followed
In which hair was pulled. blood shed
and an all around Kilkenny mill
sprung.
As near as could be learned, the
mother at one time conducted the
Penobscot block. where the son met
a woman who looked good to him.
