The Court Thought the Charge Proven and Fined Defendant. ‘Wm. H. Fugitt, who keeps a saloon on 43¢ street southwest, was tried before the Police Court today on a charge of selling liquor to minors. Benjamin Chamberlain, son of Police- msn Chamberlain, was, the principal witness for the prosecution. He gave his age as sixteen years and told of having bought 15 cents’ worth ‘of whisky in the defendat’s place. Mrs. Pugitt sold him the liquor. Mr. Carrington attempted to show by the witness that he had been sent to the place, but instead of that he said that his father gave him a “licking” for drinking the whisky. Mr. Dumont told him it was a pity that he did not get the “licking” before he drank the Frank Smith gave corroborative testimony and said he did not drink any of the whisky, because be got five cents’ worth of egg-nog from Mrs. Fugit. 5 ? The defendant gave evidence in his own be- half, saying that be was sick and had not been able to attend to bis business for four months. He said that he hai aways given orders to his employes not to sell to intoxicated persons or minors, Mr. Carrington argued that under the cir- emmstances the defendant ought not be con- vieted. The court held him responsible under the Jaw and imposed a fine of $25. ‘Mr. Carrington said he woulg note an appeal. retreat ‘What Will Be Done by the Sweeping Con- tractor in Future. In Buffalo, N.¥., the citizens complained about the condition of the streets after the Tecent snow storm until the contractor was ordered to go to work on the streets and put them in a passabie condition. In that city the contractor for street cleaning is paid 102,700 for doing the work, while the other expenses for cleaning and sprinkling make a total of $129,579.18. Superintendent Arnold of the street sweeping service in this city called the above facts to the attention of a Stax re- porter this morning. In Buffalo, he said, the money is paid out in bulk for the work and the | contractor receives his pay whether the work is formed or not. In this city it is different. | the contractor is only paid for work actually performed at the rate of Scents per square | yard. “Hereafter,” said the inspector, “the | snow will be removed from the gutters and crossings soon after the snow ceases falling,and in order to do the work properly serapers are now being made for tha - purpose. He Says J. H. Wiliams Had Been Carrying | & Pistol for Him for Three Months. A thirty-eight caliber British bulldog re- volver was exhibited in the Police Court today by Officer Price as evidence im the case of a negro named John H. Williems, who was charged with carrying concealed weapons. ‘The princips! witness against him was Anthor rooks, a colored man, whose appearance in- di of more than sixty years.

Luckett, who was | charged with criminal livel, and the defendant | was held in $200 bonds for the action of the grand jury. Samuel W. Delzell of 2909 N street was the complaining witness.

Inthe Criminal Court today Chief Tustice Bingham rendered his decision in the case of the District against James Gallagher, finding in favor of the District. The defendant was prosecuted in the Police Court for selling liquor to soldiers under an ordinance of the Levy Court and fined $60.and by his counsel, Mr. €. M.

Aspecial from Pine Ridge says that yesterday afternoon, in accordance with instructions tele- graphed from Washington, Col. Forsythe was relieved of his command of the seventh cavalry pending the investigation of the Wounded Knee affair. Maj. Whitesides succeeds to the com- mand of the regiment. Maj. Whitesides says the affair was an accident. that « few moments } before the fighting began the squaws were mer- rily pelting the searching party with bundles of rags. The accepted reason for Col. Foraythe’s relief is the manner in which his troops were | placed in the fight. ‘THE SCENE OF THE WAR. i The accompanying map shows the region in which the Sioux war is now being waged. This | territory lies on the southern boundary of South Daxota, in the immediate vicinity and north of the Pine Ridge Indian agency. At present the scene of the troubles does not cover space of more than forty miles square. The Nebraska line forms the southern boundary | and the White river the western and northern lines. Gen. Miles’ forces oceupy a position along these points, but there is no indication of just how far east his cordon of troops extends. The White river is the basin of drainage of all _ | country lying east and south Bad Lands, aa the south part of the Cheyenne is for that section on the north and west. It will be seen by glancing at the map | how the water-flow from ench side ceases abruptiy at these streams, leaving the space between them—the Bad Lands—quite un- | drained, except for afew unimportant creeks. | The Bad Lands occupy a space from twenty to | thirty miles in width and 130 miles long. "The | Indians, for some reason or other, have not } gone into the Bad Lands for this camp, but we settled in a well-watered «pot just north of the agency. probably in ‘the vicinity of Poreupine Butte. The creeks | which flow so abundantly into the White are | comparatively good-sized rivers and are sepa- | rated by remarkable formations of count Ravines and guiches abound and afford plenty of shelter to the Indians fromthe onsiaughts of both the elements and the enemy.

This country is absolutely un- is almost as bad as a labyrinth. It is probable that this camp of the would have been taken to the Lands ere this had it not been for the haste with which it was formed. There was a rush after the Wounded Knee affair by all the Indians who were wrought up tothe fighting pitch toward the nearest available where there was wat for their cattle. There is litle or no water the Bad Lands. All the creeks and rivers are probably frozen for two or three feet by. this | time and it is necessary to cut holes in order to obtain water.

How a Newspaper Man Was Taken in by a ‘Man of Guile. There is one newspaper correspondent in this city who is elow to enter into a conversation in which bunko steerers are being discussed, and there is in his heart a sympathy which goes out toward those Senators who sent several of their hard-earned dollars to Mr. Duvall in retarn for numerous baptismal certificates.

Cooper, commander of the sixth regi- ment, before dismissing the men made a speech to them, which he concluded asfollows: “If there are any men in this command who want to hide under beds or jump out of windows when they are called to duty in order to escape that duty they had better ‘take off their uni- forms and receive their discharge, which will be a dishonorable one.” ‘This rebuke from Col. Cooper to his men is said to have been called forth by someof them acting in the way he stated in his speech, it being necessary for the ¢orporal’s guard to bring them tothe armory under arrest. The alleged fright of some of the men probably arose from a joke started by some of the cor- poral’s guard, who told them that they had re- ceived orders to proceed to Pine Ridge agency and fighg the Indians. ————+-e+_____ ‘The Toledo Club Must Go. mei The Toledo Base Ball Club having refused | Tit the offer of $7,000 for its franchise in the American Association, President Thurman has eent the following to Mr. Ketcham of that club: | (30us! “You are hereby notified toappear at 11 o'clock | }¢18 co a.m. on Wednesday, January 14, 1891, at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York, before a meet- ing of the American tion of base ball clubs, to be held at said time and place, to show | 7 canse why your club should not be deprived of | + membership in said American Association of base ball clubs.” es Accident in an Indiana Mine.
