Probate Judge Kirk of Sedg-
wick county recently refused to
marry a couple because the
prospective groom was under the
influence of liquor. Seems that
this is poor argument in favor
of the bride-to-be and that
she should have saved the Judge
the trouble.

STILL AFTER SUGAR TRUST.
A Presentment for Contempt Against

A Presentment for Contempt Against
the Trust for Failing to Produce
Certain Papers.
New York. March 3.-Not satisfied
with the millions received In pay
ment Of duty evaded by short weights
involving the indictment of the COM
pany's secretary, Charles r. Heike,
and the conviction OF minor en-
ployes. the United States Govern
ment is still fighting hard to crush
the American Sugar Refining Com
pany under provisions of the Sher-
man antitrust act.
Such action was contemplated
when the company was indicted for
putting the Pennsylvania Sugar Re-
1ning Company out of business, but
the settlement of that suit out of
court and the interference of the
statute Of limitations necessitated
another legal attack, and the matter
was laid before the Federal grand
Jury in New York early in January.
Not until to-day, however, did the
scope Of the inquiry become public
when the grand jury handed up a
presentment for contempt against the
company for the latter's failure to
produce certain books and papers in
response to subpoena.
1t has been alleged that the
American Sugar Refining Company
controls 80 per cent Of the sugar
business in this country and a hint
Of it's intricate relations with vari-
GUS subsidiary corporations Is given
in the subpoena.

Wilmington. N. c., March T.
News reached the city to-day OF a
rather serious disturbance between
negro laborers at the Navassa Guano
Factory, four miles up the river from
Wilmington, Saturday night. Ac-
eording to report, during the heavy
fertilizer shipping season some thirty
or forty laborers had been imported
to the factory to handle the business
without delay. This was resented
by the resident force Of laborers
who seem to have something of an
aristocracy among themselves, and
Saturday night shanty in which a
large number of them were quarter.
ed was fired into, several of the
strangers being slightly wounded. Al
the unexpected attack, it is learned
that the negroes imported stood moi
upon the order of their going and
quit the works by the early trains
yesterday morning, although prom

fcials.

Had Rather Go to Penitentiary Than
Live With His Wife.

About the only interesting case on
the docket and one with a human
interest side and withal amusing had
to do with a charge against a citizen
OF Madison for abandonment and
failure to support his wife. The de-
fendant went into court unrepresent-
ed by counsel; the wife made her
statement under oath; the defendant
when asked by the court IL he had
any evidence in rebuttal; any wit
nesses, replied no; neither did dc
care to go on the stand; that he
guessed what had been testified tc
was about the fact. Judge Justice
however, directed an attorney to rep
resent the man, but his efforts to in
duce the defendant to put up any de
fense was a complete failure. Tht
defendant was told that the judge
might send him to the chain-gang
but this prospective dire punishment
failed to even impress the alleget
wife-deserter. In an effort to arous'
interest in his unresponsive client
the attorney went at him with a no
shot; In effect that the Judge nigh
send the defendant to the penitenti
airy for a term Of five years; tha
abandonment and failure to provid
support was a mighty serious thing
| At this the defendant manifested
bit of interest but of a different sor
from what might have been expected
His face sort OF frightened and In re
ply he said something to this effect
We'll, by CAD. I'd rather go to tn
penitentiary for Ave years than t
have to live with that woman"
That was a clincher and all effor
at defense was abandoned. The ma
