..RATTLE SNAKE BILL" IN COURT
Three Interesting Characters Before
Judge Hill Today-"Old
Scotty' Is One.

This morning before Police Judge
Hin "Rattle Snake Bill" a well
known character in local police cir
cles whose real name is supposed
TO be Don Matthias. was arraigned
in the staid old charge of being drunk
and disorderly. Only yesterday Rat
tie Snake Bill" was before His Honor
but as he put up plea for being Ill
and making ever promise to go TO
work Immediately sentence was mer-
eifully suspended by the court pend
ing good behavior. Once out OF the
court room the penitent son of Mexico
forgot all about his promises and was
soon gloriously drunk. He landed in
the city jail yesterday afternoon. His
promises went for naught with the
Judge this morning and Rattle
Snake Bill" got $40 and costs and be-
ing unable to pay will engage in the
lowly work of cutting the wild clover
from around the city bitches.
William Gilbert. also guilty of be-
ing drunk and disorderly. was given
a fine of $500 and costs. He couldn't
liquidate the charges and will join
his friend Bill in the onslaught on
the wild clover.
"Scotty" the old pioneer track
walker of the Whitewater country
VINO mas been a IaullllaF CndraCteI
in that section ever since the railroad
found its way across the county. was
before the court. Old "Scotty" had
been drunk but created no disturb
ance and bothered no one and there
fore no camplaint was lodged against
him. He came to town yesterday on
one of his semi-annual visits and be-
fore night was far along under the in
fuence of John Barleycorn. The old
man was put in the city jail out of
the wet "Scotty" drew $4,000 from
the bank yesterday but all of these
hard earned dollars were gone be-
fore night. Although he could have
paid a fine Judge Hill did not care
to make the harmless old fellow do
so and let him go on promising that
he would go home as soon as possible.
"Old Scotty" is about seventy years
old and is well known throughout the
country among the old time residents.
He keeps strictly sober only when he
makes his periodical visits to this
city which do not occur oftener than
twice a year.

OIL INDICTMENTS STAND.
Court Refuses to Quash 6317 Whiting
Counts So as to Reduce the
Maximum Penalty

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan. 22.-Judge
Kenesaw NJ. Lands, in the United
States district court, yesterday over
ruled a motion by Attorney John S.
Miller to quash 6317 counts in the eight
indictments against the Standard OH
company charging it with accepting re-
bates on shipments of oil from Whiting
Ind.
When Attorney Miller after the mo-
lions to quash the counts was overruled,
refused to plead instanter to the counts,
Judge Lands ordered pleas of not guilty
entered, to which Mr.. Miller promptly
took exception.
In the case of the indictments, con-
tanning 1903 counts, charging the ac-
cepting of rebates on shipments from
Whiting to East st. Louis, ILL.,. the
court fixed the date of trial as March
4. instead of March II, as requested by
Mr. Miller, and February II, as desired
by United States District Attorney Ed
win w. Sims.
Attorney Miller's demand for a bill of
particulars was passed until it could be
presented to the court in a formal mo-
ton.
Attorney Miller's motion to ouash 6317
of the counts, the government attorneys
contend. was a plan, which, if success
full, would have reduced the maximum
penalty in case of conviction from $126,-
100000 to 100000. While it was over
ruled. it makes the possible foundation
of plea of error. if the case should
ever be appealed to a higher court.

REPORTERS WON'T FIGHT.

HAVANA, Jan. 21.-Orestes Ferrara

the Discussion to challenge Senior Coro-'

was confined to his bed from the injuries
he received at the hands of Col. Hen,
dieta yesterday. Senior Dolz, the acting
editor, received Ferrara and Piedra, who;
told him they would fight him or any
other member of the staff. Senior Dolzl
said that he must consult the other MEM

Later former Congressman Mendoza

and challenged him or any other mem
Der of the staff to fight a duel. In the!
afternoon Senior DOLE wrote reply say
ing that the affair could not be taken
to the field of honor because Col. Men

acted as a ruffian, not a gentleman.
The trouble grew out of the Discussion

TURTLES LIKE TOMATOES.
And Are Able to Consume Twice Their
Own Size of the Vegetable.

During the past season 1 have been
somewhat disillusioned as to the feeding
habits of the box turtle. With the ad-
vent of the tomato season it was noticed
every morning that four or five of the
largest and ripest tomatoes We're partly
or totally devoured.
The peculiarly shaped bites were a
puzzle. 1t could not be the work of the
neighbor's chickens or ducks. No famii-
lar insects could cause such injuries.
At last large specimen of box turtle
was caught in the act of devouring a
tomato. The most surprising fact in this
connection is the height to which these
clumsy creatures can reach. Tomatoes
are not safe from them unless they hang
six to eight inches above the ground.
The appetite of the box turtle never
fails. A small turtle will easily consume
a tomato twice his own size.
Any pears or apples which may be
blown from the trees are also greedily
devoured by them. Two neighbors had
the same experience as myself, and I
therefore suspect that this habit of box
turtles may prove to be quite general

STEAMERS HIT BY STORM.
SHIPPING LOSS MAY REACH $2,000,-
600, EQUALING TOTAL OF DE-
STRUCTIoN ON LAND.
FIVE BEACHED AT BUFFALO
Three Persons Killed in Vicinity of Mag
ara Falls, Where Power Companies
Sustained Severe Damage.

BUFFALO, n. Y, Jan. 21.-So far
today only two deaths have been report
ed as direct result of Sundays storm.
These occurred st Dunkirk, where an IL
year-old girl was drowned and Mrs.
Henrietta Soldwick was killed by flying
debris from a demolished icehouse.
Woman Is Decapitated.
Mrs. Garrison, mother of the station
agent of the Lake Shore railway at
Farnham was killed during the night by
building blowing over on her. She
was decapitated.
Over a mile of the road bed of the
great gorge route at Niagara Falls has
been carried away by the high water. 1t
will require several weeks to make re-
pairs.
In Buffalo it is estimated that the
storm did from 81, 100000 to 100000
damage. At Niagara, Falls damage to
the amount of $4,000 was done to the
Great Gorge railroad, while in the heart
of the city buildings valued at about
$4,000 were demolished. From every
city and town along the lake front re-
ports of great damage are received. In"
land towns also suffered. The storm
lasted almost twenty-four hours, during
which time the wind varied from forty
two to eighty-fve miles an hour.
Greatest Loss to Shipping.
The greatest losses will be those sus-
tanned by marine interests. Of the TWEEN
ty-three vessels anchored under the lee
of the breakwater near the harbor en-
trance five took the beach at the foot OF
Michigan street in yesterdays gale. The
boats ashore are: Hurlburt w. Smith,
William Nottingham, J. @. Riddle, Mon
roe G.. Smith, A. G. Bower. All these
vessels are modern freighters of an aver
age valuation of $35O,OOO. AS most of
them are still laden with grain their
total valuation is not far from $12,OOO,-
900.
The Hurlburt W. Smith and the Not
tingham, both high and dry on the beach
will give the wreckers difficult job.
They are so far out that it is believed
the only way they can be released will
be by digging trenches around them and
practically relaunching the craft.
The Monroe G. Smith and the A. M
Brewer, valued at $275,OOO each are on
sandy bottom about five feet out They
are now loaded with grain.
The Riddle, 40 feet long, is aground
with her stern just south OF Michigan
street. She is worth about S4OO,OOO.
She was light, and for that reason prob
ably suffered very much.
Other Vessels Hang On.
The other vessels were better slel-
tered when the gale was at its worst,
but dragged their anchors in the stress
of the gale and tossed and swung to and
fro for hours.
Capt. J. J. H. Brown estimates the
loss loss to shipping in the port at $ldoo6
added, if it should prove to be fully
$4,000, 900. That does not include the
damage to the breakwater.
