Omaha, June 3O.-There is much dis
cusslon In Omaha as to whether the

that at least $4,000 of the city funds
were missing when Bolln was deposed.
AS this was made good by bondsmen
and the city lost nothing. some were In
favor OF letting Bolln escape further
prosecution. But most remarkable
feature Of the case was made public
to-day, when letter from Acting City
Attorney Cornish to the mayor was
printed. He boldly declares in favor
Of the compounding OF a felony. His
letteris addressed to the mayor. He says
Bolln has lived in the city. and up to

right eye and knocked insensible. The
prisoners dashed over his body and

on the crowded streets and keeping at
bay their pursuers with a rapid dis
charge Of revolvers, which they had in
some mysterious manner obtained.
Casey jumped into a passing vehicle
containing a man and woman and at
the point OF pistol compelled them to
jump out. Almost before they had time
to obey the command Chief of Police

Jones were instantly killed. One man

RACING IN KNiCKERBOCKERS.


Butte, June s0.-The bicycle race at
Barney Levy's road house this after
noon was the event Of the season In
sporting circles and the new woman
was put very much In evidence. About
200 sports and "milllonaire's daugh-
ters" and governors nieces" were
present to enjoy the fun. and the race
was witnessed at a respectful distance
by a great many other people on
wheels and carriages. There was
enough paint In sight to decorate a
warship and enough powder to fire one

right variety. and short skirts and silk
stockings were the order of the day.
A few of the women. more daring than
the rest. had discarded skirts entirely
and were attlred In velvet knicker-
bockers. There were also n number of
boomers scattered through the crowd.
but boomers. divided skirts and short
dresses were completely overshadowed
by the new woman and her new knee
breeches. The fact that the winner of
the race was attired In a pair OF vel
vet knickerbockcrs may go a long way
towards making this style of costume
popular.
The contestants who were In the thce
were: Irene Kempton, Nellie McCin-

grounds and back. n distance of three

STRANGE DISEASE.
Naval Surgeons Puzzled Over an Imported
Illness In the Navy.

Illness In the Navy.
New York, June 30.-The surgeons at
the naval hospital In Brooklyn are puz-
zled by a peculiar malady prevalent
among the sailors who arrived on the
Chicago during her last cruise. There
are at the present time. according to
the statement of Surgeon in Chief d.
T. Edwards Bogart, about ~ of the
Chicago's crew laid up in the naval
hospital. where they were taken from
the Amphitrite. to which many of the
crew were transferred when the vessel
went out of commission. Although
some OF the men in Brooklyn have been
under treatment for six or seven weeks
their condition has but little changed.
The same high temperature and rheu-
matte pains In the joints. which char
acterized the disease when first con-
tracted. are still experienced by the
victims. and little progress Seems to
have been made in successfully con-
tending with the illness.
DR.. Bogart said the disease from
which the men are suffering Is well
known In the countries bordering on
the Mediterranean sea. and that there
is no mystery about 1t. He admitted,
however, that they had not as yet
made a satisfactory diagnosis of the
disease and the patients did not seem
to improve perceptbly
The sailors take different view Of
the case. They say the doctors are
puzzled and that they have no name
for the malady nor any satisfactory
treatment. The certificates which are
sent with each patient to the hospital
are supposed to state the name Of the
disease with which he is suffering. In
the case of the Chicagos men the dis
ease is put down under various names.
The certificates of some are typhoid
fever. but the treatment in these cases
was not that which is used In typhoid
| fever cases. One Of the most danger
Gus features of Chicago fever" as Il
is termed at the naval hospital, is an
excessively high temperature. One sal
lor said that his temperature had run
up to 1O4 degrees and that the tenn
perature of the man on the adjoining
cot had reached 100. The sunstroke
treatment is used In lowering the tenn
| perature.
