LIVING IN TWO WARDS.
The Ward Lines in Some Instances Run
in the Center of Houses.

The Ward Lines in Some Instances Run
in the Center of Houses.
One of the things that will create
great deal of discussion at the council
meeting tonight is the question of chang
ing the boundaries of the Third and
Fifth wards
The lines dividing the wards are now
very uncertain and unsatisfactory, and it
Is the general opinion that a change of
some kind should be made. For a part
of the distance the boundaries do not
follow the streets, and numberless COM
pIcatlons have arisen as a result
In some places half of
house will be in one ward and
half in the other. and the question arises
where the people who occupy the house
have right to vote. In Chesney's fats
on jackson street the entrance to some of
the fats is in the Third ward, while the
eest of the building is in the Fifth, and
the people who live there really live in
both wards.
In the ordinance proposed the ward
lines follow the streets The north line
of the two wards would be Eighth street
and the dividing line Kansas avenue.
This would leave the population of the
two wards nearly the same as it is now.
but Councilman Roundtree and other
eolored men complain that the change
Is a gerrymander to destroy the effect of
the colored vote. He will fight the
change and may win enough support
from the other councilmen to prevent the
passage of the ordinance.
There is a change in the ordinance
suggested that would remove some of
the objections. It is to allow Walnut
grove to remain in the Fifth ward and
run the ward line west on Seventeenth
street to Topeka avenue and then south.
In case the line continued straight south
on Kansas avenue it would cut Walnut
grove of and the people would have to
cross the fair grounds to vote

CIDER MEN 60 FREE.

Judge Ferry Rules That the Evidence Fall
ed to show the Cider Was Intoxicating.
Police Judge Ferry today decided all
of the cider cases against the city and IN
favor of the defendants. The only one
of the cases that had been actually tried
was the Curtis case, a report Of which
was given in last evenings paper.
The evidence in all of the solder cases"
was similar, showing that the cider con-
tanned more than enough alcohol to in
toxicate.
Judge Ferry held that the prosecution
had failed to prove that the cider was in
toxicating. He admitted that the hard
cider when analysed was, but it
was not put under chemical in
spection until four days after it was
sold by Curtis. Judge Ferry based his
decision on ruling of the supreme
court in similar case from Shawnee
county in 1887, in which Judge Guthrie
was reversed. Judge Guthrie instructed
the jury if they found the cider to con
tain more than per cent alcohol to re :
turn verdict of guilty, taking judicial
notice that any beverage containing that
amount of alcohol was intoxicating The
supreme court held that the lower court
erred, and that whether or not the cider
was intoxicating was a matter to be
proven by experiment; as any other fact,
by evidence. J. s. Ensminger, attorney
for the defense, cited this decision in his
argument.
The failure of the Curtis case resulted
in the prosecution of the other cider
cases being dropped. Chief of Police
Wnkerson said this forenoon: 81 don't
see why the beer joints can't open now.
Beer contains less alcohol than this CT
der" Chief Wilkerson's remark was not
meant seriously, however

Appoints Them at Public Expense.

In the district court today E. N. Gum
and ]. R. McNary the attorneys foT
Frank Novels, announced to Judge
Hazen that they would withdraw from
the case. They have already spent con-
siderable time in the case and
have received nothing for it, nor is
there anything "in sight" Thereup on
Judge Hazen appointed Mr.. McNaEy
with W. l. Jamison and J. S. EnsmingeF
to conduct Novels defense, at the public
expense They will be paid fee each
by the county. the amount to be deter
mined by the county commissioners.
The Novels case is set for hearing two
weeks from next Tuesday, June 4 The
sheriff and county attorney are confident
that Novels will be proven guilty of
murder in the first or second degree.
It is no secret that the last continu-
ance of the case was secured in order to
give Novels one last chance to raise an
attorneys fee. The ground on which
Mr.. McNary asked the continuance was
that his associate, Mr.. Gum was sick.
The following day Gum was at the
court house. Is this what is called a
illegal fction?"
