An Uprising of Red Men, but No Scalps
are Raised.
The annual raising up of officials of
the various Councils of the Improved Or
der of Red Men took place last night, and
judging from the interest manifested by
the warriors, many might infer that
preparations were being made for general
Indian uprising. But the idea would lead
to disappointment, as they were gathered
for the purpose of Witnessing the Joint in
stallation of newly elected officers, and the
expectant onslaught was made on the
tables, which were laden with everything
to satisfy the inner man. After all had
partaken of the bountiful repast, the fol-
lowing programme was rendered Address,

ALLEGED FORGERIEs.
Mrs. Martha Smith Under Arrest for a
Serious Offense.

Mrs. Martha Smith Under Arrest for a
Serious Offense.
Mrs. Martha Smith is under arrest for al
legged attempts to pass forged checks upon
banking and business firms. When taken
into custody three checks were found in her
possession, of which one was for $500 on
the Peoples Savings Bank, payable to her
and bearing the signature of George Tav-
ener, who resides on the Costumes. The
others were for 5000 each.
The check on the Peoples Bank she
presented on Thursday, but Its payment
was refused because Tavener had no ac-
count there. 1t is said that Mrs. Smith
also presented 800 check, with the name
of a prominent lawyer attached, to h
street firm the other day in payment for
small bill of goods, but it also was re-
fused.
None of the parties to whom the woman
presented these checks have as vet sworn
out complaints against her, but some of
those whose names are alleged to have
been forged may yet do SO.
Mrs. Smith is the woman who last sum-
mer charged William Harlow with obtain
ing property from her by false pretenses.
The matter was afterward compromised by
Harlow repaying her the money obtained
on the sale of her ranch and returning the
deed therefor.
Persons who know Mrs. Smith pretty
well prefer to believe that she is mentally
'of her balance" rather than that she is a
swindler. She has been a Woodworking
woman, and many will remember her as
the driver of dairy wagon several years
ago, delivering milk about the city at all
hours and in all kinds of weather while
her husband was an invalid.

former could not take hold and assist. the
city would have to do it herself. The work
should be done carefully and correctly, and
the better way would be to have some COM
petent person do it.
Mr. Tebbets said that so long as the Trus-
tees were willing to pay portion of the
expense, perhaps that would be the better
way. Fred. A. Shepherd might be en-
ployed to do the work and report to the
Board at its next session.
Mr.. Greer-"When is it necessary to have
the work completed ?"
Mayor Well, it should be done
by the LIST of February"
MIR: Greer-"You will require new reg
lister for the coming city election?n
Mayor Gregory-"Yes, we should have
one. | don't see how it can be avoided"
Mr.. Greer said it might be a hardship
and expense to have so many polling
places, but the law was supreme, and said
it must be so.
Mayor Gregory did not see how they
could redistrict the city without having a
new register. Possibly the city could
adopt the county district plan, and sand
Wlch extra polling places into EACH
After some further discussion, it was de-
cided to adopt the latter plan for the COM
ing election, as proposed by Mayor Gregory.

So Said Peter Elvruem Last Evening
and Then He Proceeds to Die-He

The saloon at S13 street was the scene
| OF shocking suicide last evening. A Nor.
wegian named Peter Elvruem entered the
place shortly after 5 o'clock, and after tax.
ing two drinks he and the barkeeper
"Aleck" Johnson, went over to a lunch
table where lay an accordion.

pocket and with the words, Pm a Nor
wegian, and I'll die Norwegian 7" shot
himself in the right temple and fell dead
on the floor.
The weapon dropped at his feet and
death came without the least perceptible
struggle.
The police were notified, and also Cor

ran into the saloon and saw the man fall
to the floor. He states that the bartender.
Alec johnson, was sitting on the table and
appeared stunned by the strange act of
Elvruem.
The deceased was q single man, about 80
years of age, and native of Norway. He
was wheelwright by occupation, and
worked at Nelson's carriage shop in this
city up to within two weeks ago. Since
that time he has been without employ
ment. The weapon that did the deadly
work was e small Ranger, No. ., 32-eali-

been exploded.

CITY POLLING PLACES.
No Redistricting Now, but More Polling
Places to be Established.

No Redistricting Now, but More Polling
Places to be Established.
There was joint meeting yesterday of
the Board of Supervisors and City Trus-
tees for the purpose of consulting in regard
to the proposed redistricting of the city for
voting purposes. 1t was explained by
Mayor Gregory that certain changes were
made necessary by the general law, and
the city authorities had deemed it best to
cooperate with those of the county and
thus avoid useless expense. He thought
there might be legal points involved which
would make ii desirable that the District
Attorney and City Attorney should do the
redistricting.
Supervisor Tebbets referred to the fact
that in redistricting precincts would have
to be established so as not to contain over
200 voters each.
Supervisor Greer could see no good rea-
son for changing the city Supervisor Dis
tricts.
District Attorney Bruner thought there
was no necessity for himself or the City
Attorney doing the work. 1t was a mere
matter of computation and this ought to be
given to a competent person to perform.
He would do all he could to assist in the
| legal aspect of the matter. The Board of
Trustees are as much bound by the general
law as are the Supervisors, and it would
save expense if the two Boards worked
| together.
! Supervisor Tebbets thought the city
members of the Board of Supervisors
should do the work, and then the City
Trustees could ratify it, or, if the latter
had it done, the Supervisors could adopt it.
| Mr.. Bruner said the redistricting of the
city would not necessitate new register.
/ The Trustees might do it with last years
precinct register as basis.
Trustee Mclaughlin thought either body
could do the redistricting and the other
adopt it, but it should be done.
Supervisor Greer said it would be best to
employ competent person to do the work
required. The work should be done, and
some man paid reasonable compensation
for making the apportionment.
Supervisor Tebbets thought it the duty o.
| the Supervisors to do this work.
Supervisor Greer held differently. Mem
bers of the Board were not sufficiently
familiar with the details of the subject tC
enable them to do the work properly.
Mayor Gregory said that whatever ar
rangement they should see fit make woulC
be satisfactory to the Trustees. II the
