DOCTOR" COMES To GRIEF.
Colored Faith Curist in the Police
Court. Sent to Jail for Six
Months.

ASoung negro man, who gave his
name as Thomas Burton, was in the
Police Court this morning to answer,
the charge OF "fiimflsmming," accord
ing to the allegation on the blotter.
He had been arrested by Chief Goods.
According to the evidence, Burton
went to the residence OF John Wesley
Young, yesterday and offered his ser
vice for the healing OF Young's Oldest
daughter, who is indisposed. Upon
entering the house he told the mem
bers OF the household that the patient
was poisoned, but guaranteed cure
upon the payment of the necessary
wherewithal. He said he could not
start the case" without deposit OF
five dollars, and Young, not having
that account wac told by Burton be
would begin if he paid two dollars down
and turned over to him two hogs.
The swine was given him together with
the two dollars, and later Burton dis
posed of the two hogs for four dollars.
Ycung's daughter failed to show any
Improvement after the treatment OF
the DOCTOR" and the. matter having
come to the ears OF Rev. Alexander
Truatt, the latter notified the police
and aided them in locating Burton.
The latter carried a satchel, which was
brought with the prisoner to the
station house. 1t contained some dry
roots, resembling tobacco stems. There
was also in the satchel small cylindi-
cal piece of brass about as large as a
cartridge, which one of the officers
suggested was the "connibling PIN
used by faith curists.
Burton WIS asked by the court to
give an account of himself. He said
he hailed from Washington and eff
fected cures by faith. When asked
the nature OF the roots in the satchel,
be said they we're giant weeds which
be used himself when attacked by
collie. He reiterated that he was a
faith cure doctor. Justice Cation soon
summed up the case by announcing
that he would send him to jail for
six months, and that being eligible for
service on the public roads he could
practice his faith cures ad libitum.

Also Suspected,

Mystic, Jan. 13.- Especially -
Whether the fire that burned over
three blocks and destroyed twenty
buildings yesterday morning was OF
incendiary origin, or was started by
one of the store cats upsetting lamp
is a matter in dispute. Many believe
that cat in the M. c. Talbot store
where it started upset one of the
lamps left burning as precaution
against burglars. Night Waterman
Hugh Darrah thinks that oil must
have had part in starting the quick
blaze, either from lamp, or by some
incendiary, as only ten minutes before
the fire he passed down the alley at
the rear of the Talbot store and saw
no fire. When he looked out and saw
1t after getting to the Milwaukee de-
pot it quickly had the building all
ablaze Estimates are that the loss
was about 100000 and the insurance
is about half that amount. Every
building burned was of frame The
