Rev. Joseph F. Nugent is one of
the most pleasing lecturers l ever
listened to. recall with special en-
phasis his lecture entitled the
Philosophy of fertilization, an adj
dress replete with valuable informa-
ton and presented in a manner to
command attention and cause the
hearer to ask I" Why did l not know
that before?" The community will
be favored that can secure Rev.
Father Nugent for an address on any
subject.-Chief Justice Given.
The resignation of Rev. Dudley was
rendered and accepted at the called
meeting presided over by Elder Ram
sey Tuesday evening, Nov. 16. Rev.
St. Clair has been compelled to re-
sign his pastorate at Atlantic to seek
in milder climate restoration of the
failing health of Mrs. ST. Clair.
Audubon will find it difficult to
secure minister so able in the pull
pit and so faithful as pastor of his
flock. Rev. Dudley goes TO wider
field of usefulness and an increased
compensation, the salary at Atlantic
being $1,000 per year. Rev. Dudley
and family move to Atlantic next
week. Next Sunday, Nov. 81, being
the last time he will occupy the Au-
dubon M. E. pulpit as pastor.
Last Saturday Mr.. Wheeler, OF
Wichita, Kansas, arrived in Audu-
bon. He is owner Of the John
Weighton residence property which
only few years ago cost 81 1000.
Before night he sold the property to
VIM. Cloughly for $4,000, taking as
part pay Mr.. Cloughly's residence at
$1,000, the balance being paid in cash,
being the largest Audubon property
deal that has been made for number
of years. Mr.. Cloughly takes posses
sion of the new home at once and his
family move into the same Thursday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cloughly will go to
Omaha next week to purchase fur
nishings for the new home. This
proves that Mr.. Cloughly will con-
tinue to make Audubon his perma-
nent home. He was one of Audu-
bon's first merchants and intends to

The whole county was shocked on
hearing of the very sudden death of
Mrs. Theo. F. Myers at the family
home last Saturday evening. Mrs.
Myers had been in poor health many
years and despite her constant great
sutferings was always a merry,
pleasant lady and made her home only
what a good woman can. Last Sat-
urday she was suffering great pain,
and, in order to gain relief and rest.
took doze of laudanum but it prov
ed to an overdose, and when dis
covered she was in critical condi-
ton. Drs. Childs and Miller were
called and labored several hours to
restore her but at $50 she died. The
funeral ceremonies were conducted
Monday, Nov. 10, by Revs. Hinkhouse
and Cousins, the great auditorium
of the church being crowded with
Borrowing friends. The deceased
leaves husband and tifteen-year-
old daughter. The deceased, Mar
garet Haines, was born at Washing
ton, Iowa, March IL, 1868. She was
left an orphan at eight years of age
and on Oct. 4, 1881, was united in
marriage to Theo. Myers and have
been residents of Audubon ever since.
The body was buried in Audubons
Maple Grove cemetery.

the paper outside the target far from
the center, but what became Of the other
five will never be known. The mayor
followed and In his six shots was able to
make a showing with only one shot.
Then the marksmen (?) reduced the
distance and the rest of the shooting
was done at about thirty feet. In the
thirty-eight shots which followed only
six bullets hit within the target, Mr..
Gibbon scoring the best shot. The base
OF the target was riddled and 1t was
demonstrated that had the shooting
been at a man he would have been a
subject for the coroner. This was real
ly the principal test OF the pistol and
the commission was satisfied with it..
The match was declared a draw and the
party left the range. Before they had
exhibited their skill each had declared
that the chief. good a shot as he is, was
not to be compared to them as marks
men, but after the match there was an
absence of any reference to any other
persons skill. A return match is GER
tain and the next one will be for the
championship of the commission.
The matter of the selection of a weap-
on for the police department was re-
ferred to a committee consisting OF
Messrs. Gibbon and Preuss and Chief
Glass. The plan is to furnish each DO
liceman with weapon and require of
each deposit to cover the cost of it,
A uniform style of hand-cuffs is also to
be provided If the necessary financial
arrangement can be made.

Double Assessment

"The average policeman can't hit a
flock Of barns with pistol unless he
throws the weapon at them," exclaimed
Police Commissioner Preuss at the reg
ular meeting of the commission yester-
day morning. Before another hou
passed It was demonstrated that at
least two members of the commission
were about as good marksmen as Mr..
Preuss thought his policemen to be.
Mayor Snyder and Commissioner Glib
bon had shooting match with pistols
in which fifty shots were fired, but, as
is usually written of shooting affrays,
few Of the bullets took effect Theirs
was not an affray, however, for all of the
shots were at target in the basement
Of the Athletic club on South Spring
street. What became of the bullets will
never be known, for a protracted search
failed to reveal where they had gone.
A few struck the target, but the number
of these might have been counted upon
ones fingers.
The match between the mayor and
Mr.. Gibbon was one of the results of
The herald., 1897-11-03

the examination of a pistol that had
been submitted to the commission for
approval. Another result Of the exam
ination of the weapon. 1t is hoped, will
be the adoption of that or some other
pistol for use Of the police so that the
officers will be uniformly armed. Still
another result of the examination into
the matter will be the construction of
pistol range at the police station. Sew
eral weeks ago Mr.. Preuss mentioned
the fact that range was necessary and
at the same time suggested the neces-
sity Of arming the policemen with a
uniform weapon. AS a result of this
suggestion a sample of the new Colts
police pistol, now in use by the officers
Of Chicago and New York, was submit
ted to the board and was presented at
yesterdays meeting for examination.
1t was found to be a most satisfactory
weapon and the suggestion was made
that 1t be tested at once.
Mayor Snyder at once challenged Mr..
Gfbbon for a match with the weapon,
and the latter accepted. The rejuvenated
patrol wagon, drawn by a new pair of
sorrels, was placed in service yesterday
and Chief Glass wanted the commits
sioners to see the outfit. He therefore
asked that the commission ride with him
In the hurry-up wagon to the pistol
range. Some of the members demurred.
fearing that their friends would be
shocked at seeing them in a patrol
wagon. The chief agreed TO drive and
Mayor Snyder said he would sit beside
him. Thus assured the others consent
ed, and the wagon was summoned. Up
on its arrival Chief Glass marched the
commissioners out of the city hall and
into the wagon.

nent officials seemingly under arrest
caused no little excitement and a large
crowd collected. No questions We're

ular meeting of the board yesterday
when George r. Grow appeared, and in
opposing the application pointed to the
fact that there were already four sa-
looms on that square and that another
is not wanted.
Mr.. Gibbon opposed the granting of
the license saying that in his opinion
the protest of the militianien was the
strongest argument against it, He re-
minded the other members of the board
that all of the protestants are young
men and that the presence of a saloon
there would be detrimental to the char
acter of the organizations and would be
constant menace to discipline in the
several commands. Adjutant General
Barrett had stated to him that he would
not approve requisitions for rent of
the armory building If there was a sa-
loon there. Mr.. Gibbon asked that no
undue haste be made in the settlement
OF the matter as the general desired to
be heard. Action on the application was
deferred for one week.
In the meantime it is understood that
the members Of the several companies
will secure the signatures of their pa
rents, some Of them the most promi-
nent citizens Of the city. to the protest.
When the matter is again considered
several of the officers of the National
Guard will appear to oppose the appli-
cation.
The following applications made by
saloon keepers were granted: For a
transfer of the license of the saloon at
$40 South Spring street to F. Kerkow
from Rudolph Stuettig; for a similar
transfer from Mapes & Adams to George

CAUGHT ANOTHER ONE
POKER DAVIS GANG ROB A
RANCH HAND OF $245
And Smile Complacently at the Pros
pect Of Arrest-What Chief
Glass Thinks

| The Poker Davis gang Of bunco steer
ers is still doing business at the old
stand, room 2, 43111 South Spring street.
Another sucker was piloted into the den
yesterday and robbed Of $245. He
''hollered," and as a result the familiar
faces Of the confidence sharps will prob.
ably again grace the dock in the police
court. They will doubtless be able tc
give bond for their appearance, how
ever, and be released with little incon-
venience until the case against them
| is dismissed.
The man who was robbed yesterday
is w. N. Feather, a ranch hand who
worked at San Fernando The money
lost represented his savings for the past
two years. Feather was steered in the
same manner as a multitude Of other
victims and details would be only rep
etition of what has been published be-
fore. He came to the city yesterday
with $40 in money and a check on the
Farmers and Merchants bank for SITS.
During the forenoon he met a suave
young man, who was very much inter-
ested in Klondike mining and invited
Il CebIuCA " COlIlC " lib OlllCc " lOOk
at some nuggets. A sociable game of
cards was proposed. The sucker re-
ceived what seemed an unbeatable hand
and bet all his money. He lost. He re-
allied that he had been buncoed after
he had had time to collect his thoughts,
and called at the bank to have payment
stopped on the check, only to learn that
the money had already been collected.
Then he came to the police and told
his story. Detective Bradish took charge
of the case. No arrests had been made
last night. A patrOlman saw Feather
in charge of one Of Poker Davis steer
ers, and it is believed that plain case
can be made out against the confidence
sharp.
Chief Glass grew indignant when
speaking of the treatment the cases
against the buncO gamblers have re-
ceived in the police courts. 1--WE arrest
these thieves and produce the very best
evidence obtainable," he said, "and yet
the judges dismiss them. Their faces
are familiar in the courts, and the judges
know exactly the sort of business these
men are engaged in, yet when one of
their number Is arrested the other men,
bers Of the gang appear and offer their
evidence as against that of the COM
planning witness. On this 'preponder-
ance of testimony the bunco men have
been released.
I'll tell you," the chief went on, slap
ping his knee violently, "if these men
were to operate in a mining town as
they do here they would not last six
hours before they were strung UP to
the limb of tree. But here in Los An
geles they sit calmly in their office
and laugh at the police and defy them.
I tell you, sir, the courts of Los Angeles
are perpetuating this thieving."
An effort will be made to convict the
bunco men on charges Of conspiracy to
defraud. Under this charge none of the
parties to the conspiracy can testify in
behalf of others, which, 1t is hoped, will
shut off this 'preponderance of testi-
mony."
