An affair which came very near result
| LIE Al pbC oCdtl VI u uuu was u Una ny
accl&ent which occurred en- Broadway
yesterday afternoon. John Waldner, q
German farmer, living about eight miles
northwest Of Yankton, was in the city
with his team, a span of spirited blacks,
which, though not vicious, are full of
life and are decidedly fond of going at
their own gait. They started, with the
driver in the wagon, from the front of
Max'a store, headed down Broadway,
and when near the corner of
Third street made a sudden turn and
threw Mr., Waldner from the wagon to
the frozen ground, He held on to the
lines and the horses reared and plunged
until they had the wagon nearly on top
of the driver and were Just getting ready
for a new start when a cool headed
stranger stopped them by catching hold
of the bits. Mr.. Waldner wal more scared
than hurt. He got off with a good shak-
ing up, but it was a narrow escape.
DR.. Herbert Conveys appeal to the
court for permission to practice medicine
in Dakota resulted in the failure of his
side of the case, the argument being
taken in the court at Plankinton Wed
nesday. 1t came before the court
through an application for mandamus
citing the superintendent of the terri.
torial board of health to show cause why
o license to practice should not be issued
by the board to DIR. Coney, such license
having been refused by the board OF
health, though the doctor had presented
diplomas in evidence of his right to
practice. Judge Trip ruled that
the superintendent of the
board CT health possesses the right, un.
der the statute, to exercise discretionary
power in giving licenses. This ended
the case SO far as DR.. Coney is concerned
as the superintendent, in his discretion,
had refused to grant the license. Attor.
ney General Rice appeared for the ter
~ritorial officers and w. T. Read for DIR
Coney. DIR. Ross was a witness in be
half of the territory. The case wa,
taken into the court from Yankton, DR.
Coney being a resident of this city.
