Christian Hansen, whose troubles
have been many and varied for long
time, appear to continue with precis-

help him get a warrant sworn out for
the arrest of some one who had as
saulted him last night between AND
10 o'clock when he was about to en-
ter his lodgings in the old-time lodg-
ing house conducted by john Davy
of the Salvation Army. He says he
was just passing the walk to go to
the rear where the Army had sent
him to his room when he was assault
ed.
He said he mad tried to get war
rant in Judge HouX's court and was
refused, and that he then went to
the district attorneys office where he
was informed that it was a city case.
Inquiry at the lodging house reveal
ed that Aunt Ruth the colored wo-
man, occupying the rear, heard Mr..
Hansen yell murder" twice wnen she
went to the rear to get Mr.. Davy to
go to the scene of turbulence. Mr..
Davy said the Salvation Army had
sent Mr. Hansen there to room, but ii
there was going to be any trouble
about it, he wished he would get a
room somewhere else.
Mr.. Hansen had left mis- trunk and
cot in storage on the rear part of the
lot occupied by Frank viii and fam
lily.
The trouble is no one places any
confidence in Hansen. He has be.
come a nuisance and people are tired.
There is no question in our mind but
that he would have been provided for
had he accepted propositions made to
him, but ne evidently preferred to re-
main and make life a burden for
many.
