Still the Passes Are Withh, City officials and the members of the police and fire departments have not re- celved motor passes and are either com- | pelled to pay thelr fares or walk. Some trip tickets have been distributed among the city officials by Superintendent Tarking- ton, pending the lssuance of the regular passes, but in some cases these have been returned to the metor company as not being | acceptable under the clrcumstances. | Section 7 of the ordinance under which the motor company in its last sult in the district court claimed to be operating pro- videw: “That as a further and additional conslderation for the granting of this fran- chise, and the granting to sald comphny the right to use the streets named In section 2 hereof, it is agreed that sald company shail transport free of charge on its cars the mayor, city engineer, members of the city council and all firemen and policemen of the regular force when in uniform, on duty and having In their possession indices of their respective offices, whenever such officers could, by law, collect the expense of such transpertation from the city.” One or more of the aldermen not receiv- ing their passes for 1902 wrote to the com- pany asking for them. Answer was recelved from Superintendent Tarkington stating that no passes would be fssued until aler the meeting of the board of directors on January 7 and that in the meantime he en- closed a number of trip tickets. As the aldermen felt that under the ordinance under which the motor company claimed to be operating they were entitled to the passes without question, they promptly re- turned the trip tickets, suggesting that if there vere any doubt as to their being en- titled to the privilege of riding free on the motor cars the motor car had better take the benefit of the doubt for the present. The fallure of the motor company to sup- ply the members of the police department with the usual transportation has wor considerable inconvenlence upon the force. Mayor Jennings has been appealed to by the city officlals and employes of the munieipality to enforce the provisions of the ordinance under which the motor com- pany clalms to operate and compel it to {ssue the passes as required Some of the conductors refused even to recognize the trip tickets, and a ne paper reporter who offered one for a ride was required to pay his money. The con- ductor sald he had not been authorized to accept the trip tickets and refused to do so. Several members of the police force who while on duty have been compelled to ride on the cars have refused to pay any fare and have dared the conductors to put them off. In every case the conductor has taken the number of the last year's passes and let rush of Christmas buying much better than other lines, 80 we may yet show you many handsome and desirable trinkets for New Year gifts.

Cassius Church, the young farm hand charged with stabbing “Ginger'’ Fields, col- ored, In Carson, Christmas day, was re- arrested yesterday morning, when word of the death of Fields at Red Oak was re- celved. County Attorney Killpack was no- tified of the rearrest of Church on a charge of manslaughter yesterday afternoon. Mr. Killpack Is loth to prosecute the case, as fnvestigation by him at the time Church had his hearing on the charge of assaulting Flelds showed that the colored boy wa the Instigator of the trouble and that Church acted in self-defense. Witnesses to the fight between Church and Fields deny seeing any knife in the hands of the former, The trouble between Church and Fields arose, it s sald, over the sum of 35 cents which Flelds claimed Church borrowed in a bowling alley in Carson. Fields' death resulted, it is sald, from blood poisoning, caused by his wound after he left Carson.
