BILL COLLECTOR
MILLS THRASHED

As the result of a personal difference
OF opinion on the matter of sending let
tiers with "P. d. Agency" standing for
Past Due Agency, in red on the en-
velopes. on a matter which had nothing
to do with bill collecting, Second En-
gineer John +. Laker of the cableship
Restorer gave H. T. Mills of this city
sound thrashing Saturday afternoon.
and was over in a very few seconds,
for Mills had no chance with his OPP
ponent though a slightly larger man.
Laker bruised Mills face, upset some
of the furniture of his office and seri-
ously disturbed the attorneys presence
OF mind.
Mills, as soon as he had collected his
senses, started off for the police sta
ton, where he became quite wrathy be-
cause he could not get a Warrant for
Laker, there being no one in the sta
ton 10 issue it on Saturday afternoon,
and the officers refusing to pay any at
tention to him, as he refused to give
the name of his assailant. Later on he
obtained a warrant for Lakers arrest
on the charge of assault and battery.
The police telephoned to Laker, who
had returned to his ship, and he came
in. submitted to arrest, and was
promptly released on his recognizance,
to appear this morning before the Dis
trict Court. Mills has obtained the SER
vices of Attorney William Sims and Of
Judge Humphreys. 10 act as his counsel
in the case.
The bill collector did not care to make
any statement to the press and was
rather brusque to reporter from an
afternoon paper who asked him most
politely who had assaulted him. He
stated that he didn't want anything to
do with any newspaper men and that 1T
was none of their business. The re-
porter in question scanned Mills face
CdIClulIy anu thSii ihlolihSu hiAi shos AAN
was glad to see the results, at least,
for they were hard to hide.
The trouble arose in the following
manner. Laker had paid in consider
able sum of money to the Circuit Court
to cover the costs in a case which he
had against Judge Humphreys. While
he was in Esquimalt, on the Restorer,
his attorney. Judge Henry Highton,
died, and Mills was appointed executor
of the estate. The latter, through a
mistake of the clerk of the court, col
lected money which was due Laker, and
then in writing to Laker about the mat
ter used the envelopes marked as de-
scribed.
In speaking of the matter, Laker
said
II tried TO get the money from Mills,
which he had collected wrongfully, and
he answered my attempts with a letter
which was sent to me In an envelope
such as have described to you. From
the dealings which / had conducted
with him saw that It was a deliber-
ate attempt on his part to insult me
and also 10 destroy my good name In
this city. / simply did what thought
was proper in the circumstances. and
him, II was hardly a matter
which could be handled otherwise.
II understand that there is United
States law which covers the matter OF
sending such envelopes through the
