WAS VERY CLOSE.
A Special Policeman Nearly Suf-
located With Gas.

William f. Colby, special policeman,
whose beat is on Wabasha, between
Fifth and Seventh streets, came very
near joining the silent majority via the
gas route yesterday. Colby is a mar
ried man, and resides at 3SS North
Washington street. His family are
visiting relatives in the South,
and he has been stopping at
the different hotels during their alb
sence. He went off watch at o'clock
yesterday morning and registered at
the Astoria house, being assigned to
room 4S. A call was placed on the reg
lister for 3 O'Clock, opposite his name.
and at that hour Louis Aldrich, bell
boy, knocked at his door. He received
no answer, and noticing strong smell
of gas i'll the hallway, surmiSed what
had happened and climbed through
the half open transom. Colby
was found in the bed with
wide, staring eyes and foaming at the
mouth. Had the transom been closed,
there would have been no exit for the
gas, which must have Suffocated him
long before. He was carried to another
room, and DR.. Gear and another physi-
clan summoned, who brought him to
work. 1t was two hours more before
Mr.. Colby was able to walk, but by
evening he was attending to his duties
as usual. He states that he did not
blow out the gas, but turned the valve
so far that it was let on again. One of
the physicians is authority for the state
ment that twenty minutes longer in his
precariouS condition would have caused
his death.

ID Attorneys.

LIME oi DoienSe InuiCateu by His
ID H. Attorneys.
The late county assessor, Ed K. Ha r
rOun, was put Oh trial yesterday i'm
Judge Cornish's court OIL an Indictment
charging larceny in the second degree
. in that he passed a check for $50 upon
Mccormick, Behnke IL Co., when he
had no funds in the Germania bank,
ppon which it was drawn. The state
put the check in evidence, and showed
, THAT it had been cashed: also that his
account had been closed at the
+ Germapia bank Dec. 10 last,
while the check was dated Jan. 8.
i0Yhen the state rested, the defense
moved to instruct the jury to return q
I; verdict of not guilty OIL the theory that
n9 intention to perpetrale a fraud had
been proven. Judge Cornish, in deny
4 ing the motion, intimated that the state
aWs9uld be required to show, in addition
to passing the check when he had no
funds. the additional fact that Mr.. Har-
feun, intended wilfully To perpetrate a
fraud. But the intentional fraud
he knew he had no funds
OH deposit when the check was cashed.
Assistant County Attorney Butler ap-
pears for the state; the defense is con-
Quoted by John l.. Townley and E. E.
Mcdonald. After overriding the mo-
ton to dispose OF the case as indicated
the court adjourned the case until
Monday morning at 10 O'clock.
d 1t is understood that the defense will
claim that HarrOun believed he had
money on deposit at the Germania
bank when the check was cashed. He
mad sent money to the bank by an
American District telegraph messenger
and did not know that the bank had re-
fused the money. 1t is said that the
money is yet in the possession of the
American District Telegraph company.

who questioned and cross-Questioned
him for considerable length
of time as to his practical knowledge of

had in thai line. Mr.. Starkey was first
asked about the changes made in the
old market house. and said the plans
for the same had been drawn up by
Architect Bassford, who also looked
after the construction, but he could
not be made to say that he
himself had had no responsibility

When pressed further to name a princi-
pie i'll use i'll modern architecture that
he had learned from the book, he said be
had gained some knowledge of roofing
and of how to construct domes
and calculate their strength. His
study of architecture was made to
gain some practical ideas and not to be-
come an architect. He had been en-
plOyed under practical engineer in
building the manholes on Broadway and
personally supervised some of the brick
work
Contractor Mullen was called after
Mr.. Starkey to testify to what part Mr..
Starkey had taken in the Broadway

rotary of the state board, to select from
200 to 300 children who have never been
yaccinated, and innoculate them with
virus he has supplied the department.
This virus is from the state vaccine
farm at Red ling. and there is proba-
bly, none purer in the world. DR.. Hoyt

week as the day on which applicants
for vaccination will be received. and
fixed the hour at from to 4 O'Clock.
