A }GUMENT RESULTS
IN A FIST FIGHT
Conflicting Testimony is the
Cause of Courts Dismiss
al of Case.

An argument last night in Hen
Schells saloon at Twelfth and North
F streets, resulted in charges of as
sault and battery against William
Tracy, colored, and provoke against
Fred E. Miller, white, painter, re-
siding in Fairview. Tracy was fned
81 and costs and the case against Mil
Ter was dismissed.
Miller was drinking in the rear room
of the saloon with Mr. and Mrs Jason
Watkins, colored, when Tracy walked
in and declared that he would buy
champagne for Miller's companions
For some reason, he appeared angry
at Miller, who demanded to know
what was the matter. After a short
argument, Tracy struck Miller twice,
knocking him down and causing his
mouth to be badly swollen. The col
ored man charged that Miller, by his
actions. threatened to hit him with a
beer glass. Conflicting testimony on
the part of Tracy's companions result
ed in the affidavit of provoke against
Miller being dismissed.

CURIOUS FISHING.

Gathering In EeIs With Brushes and
Shrimpine on Horseback.
In the Hawaiian Islands some Of the
native fishermen literally go into the
water and chase the fish into their
nets.
The sea round the shores of the is
lands In studded with coral reefs, in
which are numerous holes and tiny
caves in which the fish hide. The ma
tives row out over there reefs. taking
with them a brush about three feet in
length. with very long bristles. and
shallow nets. somewhat resembling
paper bag as they are closed at one
end.
AS they row over the surface. seeking
a likely spot. they chew very oily
fruit known as the candle nut. When
they consider they have reached a good
fishing ground they spit out this nut,
which forms Il thin film on the top OF
the water, over which the wind passes
without leaving a ripple. This enables
them to see right down into the clear
sea, and II they are satisfied with the
outlook they prepare to fish.
the net. the mouth Of which Is propped
open by means Of twig or two In the
other. they dive noiselessly and quietly
overheard. Having arrived at the face
of the coral reef. they literally brush
the frightened fish out of their dens,
endea voring to catch them In the net
as they dart away.
There Is one place at least on the
coast of Belgium where they go
shrimping on horseback. The TRAVELLING
nets are attached to the sides of sad
dies carried by horses or big donkeys.
