81. negro formerly from Boyce
Station, La, named General Davis
fruit inspector for Thacker Broth
ers' steamship line, was standing
quietly near the railroad station at
La Guna talking with three or four
of his companions. also Americans.
A drunken iNicaraguan soldier
armed with machet approached the
party and demanded to know what
they were talking about. Davis an
swered that it was none of his bust
ness, whereupon the Nicaraguan
drew the nachet and raised 1t over
DAVIS, who finally took the weapon,
threw 1t away and went to a house
nearby Nicaraguan soldiers drag
ged Davis out and beat him until
Davis was unconscious.
The soldiers and the police car
ried Davis to the Quartet, but believ-
ing that Davis was dying. they car
ried him back to the spot where the
attack was made.
FulIam Lands Blue Jackets.
Within ten minutes blue Jackets
of the Marietta under Ensign Ror-
sach were on the spot. Commander
Fullam's orders were sharp and de-
cisive.
ARREST chief OF police and police
men engaged In the assault. put
them In irons and send them aboard
ship. Arrest Nicaraguan officers and
men engaged in the assault and hold
them for orders"
Il was though possible that an
attempt might be made to release
the soldiers and police captured by
the blue jackets. so men were landed
from the Paducah to occupy La Guna
and additional men were landed from
the Marietta. The Paducah moved
to position fronting the Nicaraguan
cuartels while the Marietta covered
the cuartels in the port.

Fullam finding the civil authorities
incapable of maintaining. regulation
or order, that the government of
Tegucillalpa was a mere provisional
agreement of certain leaders that so
far gave no evidence of stability, de-
cided to ignore the authorities here
and recognize only the organized and
disciplined force here under General
Estrada, commanding the Nicarag-
uan forces and the men arrested were
delivered by Fullam's order to Es
trada who was advised that he would
be held responsible.
Notice also was served on Hondu-l

In accordance with suggestions
made al the recent legislative meeting
in the Commercial association rooms,
bills have been prepared which il
adopted will prevent the sale of liquor
TO Indians and likewise make a state
blacklist law. The work upon the
bills has been done Jointly by Mayor
James A. Fee and District Attorney
Phelps.
At present there is no state statute
which forhids liquor being given
blacklisted person, the matter being
handled by local police regulations, IL
at all. The measure now outlined
provides that an habitual drunkard
may be legally declared such at a trial
10 be held in any state court. Follow
ing such a trial proper publication is
made of the action after which it be-
comes unlawful for any person,
whether saloonman or otherwise, to
furnish liquor to the blacklisted one.
The penalty proposed varies from 10
days to six months in the county jail
or a fine not exceeding 5000, or by
both fine and Imprisonment.
The above measure will be submit
ted to the judicial committee of the
legislature before introduction and
may be changed in some particulars
before being presented as legisla-
tive bill.
The bill forbiddlng the sale of liquor
to Indians is desired for the reason
,l . 81 T., i sr,
out of date, inasmuch that it also con-
tains a provision forbidding the sale
of firearms to Indians.
The following is the complete draft
of the bill written by Messrs. Fee and
Phelps:
\ hill for an act to amend Section
1863 of Bellinger and Cotton's Codes
and Statutes of the state of Oregon.
making it m offense to sell liquor to
Indians.
Be it enacted by the people of the
state of Oregon:
Section /. That section 1869 of Bel
linger and Cotton's Annotated Codes
be, ani the same is hereby amended
SO as to read as follows:
Section 1863: If any person shall
sell, barter or give to any Indian or
half-brced who lives and associates
with Indians any spurious, malt or
virous liquor, such person upon con-
viction thereof shall be punished by
Imprisonment in the county Jail not
less than one month nor more than
one wear or by fine not less than so
nor more than $500, or both such fine
and imprisonment in the discretion
Of the court
Section =. Justices of the peace

arising under this act.

was then told that he had no commits
sion as a secret service man, and be-
lieving the officer referred to his SAL
ary, admitted he had received none.
He was then shown that he had no
commission giving him authority nor
salary either. 1t was then that he
forsook the service of Uncle Sam and
commenced to paint furniture. He
says he has been working at that bus
mess in Walla Walla for the past
month and consequently 1t took no
very strenuous work on the part of
the government Sherlocks to find
him.
The story told by Gibson was a most
straightforward one and all points to
the fact that he was either badly
duped by some irresponsible joker or
worse, or else was retained by some
very light-headed official who after
wards refused to acknowledge his ac-
tion.
He is held upon the double charge
of impersonating an officer and for
obtaining credit under false pretenses.
