AMUSING STORY.
Told by Cuban Who Was Walloped
by an African.

eel hombre es mucho malo." said
Kelley Sanders, as he walked into
Justice Kncx's office Monday after
noon. and began to relate his troubles
to that official Sanders, notwith-
tanding his name, is a native of Cuba,
and speaks the English with some
difficulty.
.'De Africana mucho beat malo.
Whippe me por nothing. Hitta me in
back. Bruisa me oop, mucho malo.
All, 81, senior; mucho malo."
Sanders story was told to Justice
Knox with difficulty, but in substance
it was as follows:
He had been at work on the levee
gang east of the city. On Monday
the straw boss. Will Collett, negro
intimated that he was not getting as
much work cut of the team he was
driving as was compatible with the
best results. Sanders informed him
he was doing the best he could, where
upon OOll6Ll lOlu AC WOuiu HoVS
tc do better. One word brought on
another, until the men came to the
parting ways Sanders claims he was
struck with an axe, inflicting an ugly
wound in the side, and knocked down,
whereupon Collett drew pistol with
one hand, holding him under sub
lection while he administered sound
threshing to the whiteman. He ex-
hibited his wounds to Justice Knox
Monday afternoon, and it was evi-
dent that he had been pretty badly
bruised up by someone. A warrant was
issued for Collects arrest. and that in
dividual was brought before the JUS
tice Tuesday. The hearing will take
place some time today.

"Erenchje" Frazier Fined.

"Frenchie' Frazier went to trial be-
fore Police Judge Toney Tuesday af-
terncon on four charges Of petit lar
ceny. The judge assessed a $40 fine
in each case.
Witnesses were introduced by the
state in each case to show that Fra
zier had appropriated property be-
longing to the city on four different
occasions. A colored teamster en-
ployed by the city testified that Fra
zier had ordered him to haul four
bales of hay to his house; that the
hay belonged to the city, and that he
was following Frazier's orders when
he took the property to Frazier's
home.
The witness also swore that he had
taken hay and bran to Frazier's house
en- two other occasions. at times prior
TO the first named instance.
A white teamster testified that ne
had taken some sewer pipe to Fra
pieces in all. The pipe was taken from
Fifteenth and Georgia. and he mad
hauled it t.. Frazier's home on orders
from the latter.
Frazier was represented in the trial
bv an attorney. who made a strong
nlea fer acuui+tal on the technlca
grounds that in the course CT 'he trial
il had never been shown that the
things taken had belonged to the city
nor had there ever been a value set
,pcn the articles alleged to have been
stolen.
pc,:co judge Toney did not see it
that way. however, and fined Frazier
s1o in each case, aggreeaing the sum
of $40 for the four. 1t IS unoerstoo''

grusson1e spectacle in the supreme

\ HAyERLAND HELD.

Grand Forks. N. d., Feb. 8.-Wil-
liam Hayerland was yesterday held to
the district court in the sum Of $1,000
bonds for burglarizing the store Of
M. w. Hanson, on Third Street. Hav-
erland admitted his guilt to the police
officers yesterday morning after in
sisting all night that he was guilt
less. He stated that he broke into
the building through the side door and
took about $4 in cash which was in the
register. He claimed that he did not
take anything else from the store. The
fact that the man who robbed the store
wore il1occasins, as did the prisoner
when he was arrested, has been one OF
the strong points against him.
Haverland was unable to furnish
bail and he was taken to the county
jail, where he will remain until his
case is disposed OF by the court. 1T
is understood that he will enter a plea
of guilty in about ten days, hoping
thereby to-receive a light sentence.

CHARGES AGAINST GOODNOW.
WILL NOT BE PRESSED

Washington, Feb 8.-Consul General
John Goodnow has presented his resig-
nation to Assistant Secretary. of State
Loomis, to take effect March 81, or as
soon thereafter as the president may
determine. Last night he left for New
York and this afternoon he. will take
the Pennsylvania flyer for Chicago,
where he will arrive Thursday morn
ing. That evening he will take train
for San Francisco by way of Omaha
and Ogden and will sail from San Fran
cisco on Feb. ID, arriving at Shanghai
about March H. vE e:}
After severing his connection with
the government, Mr.. Goodnow will con-
tinue to reside in Shanghai, where he
has arranged for substantial business
connections which will mean several
times as much money yearly as he has
been receiving as consul general.
It.is understood that some man from
New York State, a friend of the presi-
dent, is to succeed him, but the appoint
nent may not be made until late in
the spring, or even midsummer. >,
The statesdepartment, under the direc-
ton of the president personally has gone
over the charges which have been made
against Goodnow To these charges
Goodnow has filed a voluminous written
reply, backed up by afidavits and null
tltude of letters from prominent Shang-
hal people. In addition, he has talked
over the charges with state department
officials
After consultation with the president,
the state department decided that there
was nothing in the charges which the
government should notice. Reduced to
their lowest terms, they are for the most
part against the marshal of the consular
court and not against Goodnow, for
they allege Irregularities for which the
marshal and not the consul general is
responsible. The marshal is a presi-
Dental appointee. Those parts of the
charges not affecting the marshal di-
rectly relate to the personal grievances
Of three persons, of whom the man
Curtis is one.
