Trt'iitiiittt.
Katlo Thomsen, the Klrl Jrom Hurt
county who rebels nKaiust the parental
edict that she Is to blossom Into woman
hood at an ordinary (arm hand, was the
central flRUro In tho county court yesterday.
Several attorneys wero cognised In a con
troversy over tho legality of tho appoint
ment or John T. Odefey as tho Mrl'B
guardian, and In their arguments Katie was
referred to as an "Infant," although alio Is
nearly six feet tall and wears skirts that
touch tbo Door.
Katie asserts that sho left home because
her parents required her lo get out In tho
Hold and labor like an ordinary furm band.
Tho pleasantries of corn "lowing nd hay"
stacking did not appeal to her and sho con
cluded to seek more congenial employment.
Sho enmo to Douglas county and fouuti a
position as domestic In tbo home of littery
Ide, where sho was enabled to .-am $3 a
week and her board.
llcnuinils l:rc Wiikcs.
Her fathor, Hans Thomsen, traced her to
her new abode and demanded that sho
should either return to the Hurt county
farm or turn over her weekly earnings to
him. As Katlo was but 10 years of ago
tho father's demand for her wages scented
to ho within tho limits of his legal rights
nnd It became necessary to put a crimp
into said legal rights.
Katie's employer appeared In the county
court nnd applied to havo John F. Odefey
appointed as tho girl's guardiau. In tho
Application it was stnted that the girl was
u minor and had been forced from homo
because her parents "wero eoarso In habits
and langui.KO and seemed to have a spite
ngalnst this particular child." As there
was no nppeaninco against the proposed
Appointment of a guardian It was made.
Now Katle'B parents nro endeavoring to
havo tho appointment of the guardian de
elared null and void. Their lawjers raised
tho point that the, Douglas county court had
no jurisdiction, liecauso tho child's home
was in Hurt county. They contended
that her temporary residence In this
county could not be considered; that the
domicile- of tho parents is always me icgai
homo of a minor. Judge Vlnsonhalor did
not ngreo to this statement and expressed
the opinion that a separate legal restdeuco
could bo acquired by a minor who had been
forced from tho domlcllo of tho parents by
cruel and Inhuman treatment
"Hut. j our honor." said the lawyer for
tho parents, "thcro Is no allegation of cruel
nnd Inhuman treatment Instills ense. Tho
application upon which the guardian was
appointed merely stated that this girl was
required to work In Iho field."
.Tii (Iter Vlimiiiillnlei'' CliHnlry.
"That would constitute cruel nnd Inhu
man treatment," declared tho court.
"Hut suppose wo show," said tho lawyer,
"that It Is tho custom of farmers in this
locality lo work their girls In tho field?"
"If that Is a custom," warmly responded
tho judge, "It Is a custom that will get no
encourngement from this court,"
The judgo ruled that mero temporary
residence In tho county was sulllclutit to
confer Jurisdiction on tho court.
Tho lawyers for tho parents then moved
that tbo appointment of tho guardian be
set aside because Mr. Odefey was not tho
proper person to maintain tho trust, nnd
when tho court overruled this motion notice
of appeal to tho district court was served.
Tho light for tho custody of Katie Thomsen
will, therefore, be concluded In tho higher
court.

May Owens will hayo easy sailing
through the divorce court If the statements
made In her petition nro true. She says
she married Christian H. Owens nt Hud
son, Wis., on October 12. lS9t!, and during
tho thirteen months immediately following
her husband made frequent attempts to get
rid of her.
On tho very next mcrnlng after tho mar
riage ceremony had been performed at
Hudson Mrs. Owens alleges that her bus-
hand departed for .Milwaukee und left her
In St. Haul.' Tho brldo and groom wero
separated by the 325 miles of space be
tween tho Cream and tho Saintly cities
until July 21. lS'.iT when Mrs. Owens Joined
her husband nt Milwaukee. Sho remained
there only six days and then ho sent her to
visit relatives at Kendalls, Wis. Three
weeks later tho wlfo returned to Milwau
kee, but almost Immediately, so sho as
serts, her husband sent her to St. Paul.
This last parting occurred on November
Hi, lS'.iT. and Mrs. Owens says sho hns not
seen her husband since.
Allco Case asks tho district court to di
vorce her from Nathan H. Case, to whom
sho was married In Hlnggold county, Iowa,
In 1SSD. Sho says her husband has deserted
her.
Judge Hstelle has granted I.lda Wester
helder a divorce from Charles Wosterhel'ier
on the ground of desertion.

Henry K. l'aulsen, a milkman whose dairy
,s at Lincoln avenuo and Fifty-eighth street,
attached too little Importance to a line en
tered against him August 17 in police court.
Hy a. technicality he believed that he had
escaped tho law's notice.
Yesterday ho found that the eyes of
Justice aro ucver closed and he was com
pelled to pay his original tlno und addi
tional costs that have piled up because of
his procrastination. Last August l'aulsen
was arrested on the charge of tincturing
his milk with formaldehyde. He was found
guilty and u tine ol 125 und costs was Im
posed, I'aultcn nppcaled tho case, hut failed
to accompany tho papers In the appeal with
tho regular fee of S2.&0.
I'll j h . Attention.
As a consequence no attention was paid
tho appeal by tho district court, und l'aul
sen presumed that he had succeeded In
getting free.
Lee K. Orler, clerk of tho police court,
discovered In looking over his records n
lay or two ago that tho l'aulsen matter
was unsettled. Ho IsBtied a capias for tho
milkman's appearance In court nnd Paulsen
was arrested this morning.
Tho dairyman was much wrought up over
tho matter. He nfBertcd his desire to ap
peal the case nnd proffered the feo to tie
company tho papers In tho nppral to tho
district com t. Clerk drier refused to ac
cept tho fee. Ho stated that Paulsen had
delayed tho matter too long nnd Insisted
that the fine of J25 and costs ho paid forth
with. PauUcn's only alternative was a lerm
in tho city jail long enough to servo out tbo
line, so ho bowed to tho Inevitable nnd paid
tho fine.
Not In He Monl.ceil With.
'The present police court regime Is not
going to bo monkeyed with," declared Mr.
Grler, In speaking of tho case. "In tho
past the prnctlep of appealing cases and
having them go by default hy reason of an
nbscnro of the appeal fee has been entirely
too common. This case came up before 1
entered upon tho duties of clerk of the
court nnd it was only by accident Hint I
discovered It. I Intend to go carefully
over the records and ascertain If thero uro
any other similar cases. Anil those that
I tlnd will be dealt with ns has been tho
Paulson case.
"This case ran over a period of about
seven months nnd It was an unwarranted
delay. Tho demand that Paulsen pay his
fine was certainly Justified, in view of the
naturo of tho case. If I hadn't accidentally
discovered tho record In tho case he would
have gone on without ever paying 4ho line
You can put It down that no similar pro
ceedings will bo permitted by this court In
tho future,"

A moment laor Chatles L. Uygcr. a cleric
In the army headquarters, paid his cheek

SAX JUAN, Porto Hlco, March S. A
serious riot occurred hero yesterday. At
ti o'clock In the evening five artillerymen
and a corporal of artillery, named Hlscock,
loft their guard post without orders nnd
charged across tho plaza Into a street In
which a mob of people had assembled. The
soldiers fired a volley Into the air. dis
persed tho mob nnd rescued School Super
intendent Armstrong, who wns besieged by
a mob In a house situated about a block
from the center.
For hours previous to tho rescue of Su
perintendent Armstrong tho city had been
overrun by a riotous crown oi promiuiy
1,500 persons, who shouted ''Down with the
Americans" nnd other similar cries.
The excitement originated In a trivial
school incident Involving Superintendent
Armstrong nnd Illustrating the excitable
nature of tho Porto means. The superin
tendent reprimanded n girl 10 years of ago
for disobedience nnd forcibly but Harm
lessly marched her to the front from the
rear of tho school room. Her dress caught
In a desk and wns torn and tho girl re
ported to her mother that sho had been
kicked and abused. This excited the girl's
mother and sensatlonnl stories were circu
lated with the result that when tho school
children wero dismissed n number of boys
gathered together and paraded the streets.
They were Joined by many loafers and full
grown men and it became necessary for the
pollco to escort Superintendent Armstrong
from tho school house to his home. Tho
superintendent and policemen wero stoned
as they passed through the streets and, as
tho LU-wd constantly increased In size, the
Americans sought refuge In the Intendencla
building. A number of persons from the
rrowd succeeded In entering the building,
but were ejected by employes and others.
.Mil; or .Venlcetn lo et.
Hy .1 o'eloi k affairs had assumed such a
threatening aspect that Governor Allen or
dered the mayor to disperse tho mob, no
tifying him that ho should ask for govern
ment asMlstntico If he was In need of it.
The mayor, however, paid no attention to
the governor's notification, although the
city pollco were powerless, not being In
any way respected by tho rioters, whom
they old not attempt to disperse.
At 5:30 p. m. tho olllces were closed nnd
Martin C. HrumbaiiKh. the commissioner of
education of Porto Illco. asked for pollco
protoctlon of his ofTice and hotel.
A treasury clerk, who was one of the men
who ejected the rioters from the Intenden
cla, was attacked, stoned and disarmed by
a mob.
Tho district police, sho have no Jurisdic
tion In the city, except In cases of emer
gency and at the call of the mayor and
governor, were not culled upon until 6
o'clock. At that time the artillerymen pre
viously referred to took the initiative with
out orders and dispersed tho gathering.
In tho-meantime the city police had fired
about 100 shots, mostly In the air, for ther
wero no casualties.
Several other Americans besides th
tieasury clerk wero stoned from roofs and
balconies.
At S o'clock last night this city presented
Its usual tranquil appearance.
I'p to tho hour of filing this dispatch
today thero has been no further demonstra
tion. Governor Allen deplores the unfortunate
occurrences, especially the action of tho
artillerymen. Corporal Hlscock has been
placed under arrest nnd Is now In tho
guard house. It is probable he will be tried
by court-mnrtlal.
The teachers who have been questioned
on tho subject have made statements ngice
Ing with those of Superintendent Arm
strong to the effect that tho girl was not
harmed.
It Is probable that four-fifths of thosa
who took part In tho ilotlng did not know
why they wero mobbing the Americans.
The rioters mostly belonged to the unem
ployed workmen of the population.

Mint
President Hurt of tbo I'nlpn Pncillc is
credited with nn Interview In the Salt Iike
Herald In which he denies that the Fnlon
Paelllo nnd tho Central Pacific are to bo

I can state most emphatically my opinion
that there will lie mi consollilatlou of tho
Central I'ntille nnd Fnlon I'aiitlc. I hao
every reason to believe that the two rimils
will ho iipnrnted Just us they uro nt present
for an Indellnite period. If It Is the Inten

head, thero certainly have been no nlgns of
