PRESTON MEANS
 WILL GET RELIEF
Says He Has Been Trying for Five Years to Get Nuisance
 Abated

After waiting five years for the city Means reached the end of his rainbow quest yesterday. and the commissioners will grant him a reward sought for five weary years.
 In letter to the commissioners yes terday MT. Means said that he respect fully requested that a nuisance near his home on Twenty-frst street between Humboldt and Quinlan avenues, be abat- ed It is said the trouble is with lot having no retaining wall, which creates a most undesirable condition on the prop erty of Mir Means.
 He told the commission in a note that he had been trying for five years to get something done and he fondly hoped that the new manner of government would meet the situation, and come forth with some real action. He said he had asked Mayor Ward, Mayor O'Brien, May or Exum and various and sundry coun- cilmen all to effect.
 The commission in two minutes in- structed the city attorney to render an opinion He did so immediately, say ing that under sections 592 and 593 the request of MT Means could be granted by declaring the condition a nuisance. The effect is that the property owner complained of will be forced to remove large part of a. bank of red dirt.
 The commissioners derived a great deal of amusement from the peculiar appeal to them after five fruitless years.

ISLANDER CASE COMES UP

lunch counter beat city block.
 The evidence in the case was as clear as mud, and involved Marys Aunt Kate and Nancys Uncle Jasper. The dispute grew out of the fact that Uncle Jasper had been arrested for stealing coal, and Nancy circulated the state ment that Mary had caused his arrest going over to the enemy and turning in former.
 Mary's indignation was great at being so charged, and she stated that not only had her social position been imperiled, but that her standing in the ancient order of mysterious coal pickers had been low cred by the oan'dlouS" reports.
 Putting into action her bottled-up wrath she, invaded the humble cabin wherein Nancy dwelt and "bawled her out" and as a result Nancy had Mary arrested for intimating she was lacking i'll lady-like qualities and discernment
 Judge Black listened wearily to .the mass of jumbledup testimony and on dismissing the defendants gave them all lecture on their propensity for causing the arrest of their neighbors on trivial matters
 This incident Is related merelysto show that notwithstanding the fact that they generally get the worst of it, the colored population is ever ready to cause pro- miscuous arrest of the members of it's race with little cause or provocation.
