OLD CRIMINAL CASES.
In some No Records OF Bonds Can Be
Found.

Prosecuting Attorney Wiltsie says that
the Criminal Court is farther ahead with
its work at this time than 1t has been for
years. There are, in ALL about six hundred
untried cases on the docket. A majority
of these are liquor cases. OF the number.
about one hundred are on indictments re-
turned during the administration of the
present prosecutor and judge.
Some of these old cases. said Mr.. Wilt
sic. date back several years Why they
have never been tried can't say l know
that in some instances no record can be
found of bonds having been given, and, of
course, where defendants know they are
not under bond they are not likely to APP
pear voluntarily. These bonds may have
been lost. I am unable to say. presume
many of these cases will never be tried
The Witnesses of course, hav3 become scat
tered and many have died. BY the time
my term of Office is finisked I expect to be
pretty well up with the work that has ac-
cumulated on my hands. In the three years
J. have been here we have managed to
clean up a lot of it,
Mr. Wiltsae says there are only two or
three jail cases that are not set down for

made, II is understood that William Bridge

A Christiar-Hearted Bryan Democrat

A strapping big tramp who claimed to be
a miner from Brazil, walked into an office
in the Statehouse yesterday, and standing
fifteen feet away from an official who was
sitting at a desk he said: See, here. can
you give me the price of lodging?'
A strong odor of distilled spirits followed
the demand across the room.
IT am afraid we cannot assist you," said
the official. Il feel sorry for you, but have
nothing to give YOU"

threw himself back and gave vent to his
feelings Sorry, air yah? Well, 1 don't

PoGUE's RUN INSTRUCTIONS.
City Attorney Preparing an Ordinance
to Cover the Case.

Nothing will be done by the city admin
istration to require instructions removed
from Pogue's run until an ordinance has
been prepared and submitted to the Council.
City Attorney Kern is at work on an ordi-
nance defining the permanent course of the
stream, as step toward removing the OBJ
structions. City Engineer Jeup said that
when this is done, it will be easier to ex-
ercise jurisdiction over the stream There
are a number of bad distinctions like the
arches under the Union Station, which all
road companies and others have been or
dered to remove several times.

Health yesterday to see about an order he
had received to drain the pond ut is alb
surd to think that the pond is a nuisance"
said he. 'It has remained as it is for sew

being harmful in any way" The Office rec
ords about the pond were brought out and
handed the man. He read the complaints
of nearly all the citizens living in its vicin-
ity and saw it described filthy mud
over the whole community. Then without a
word he called for pen and paper and
wrote: II promise to drain this pond and

had been enough. Like a man he acknowl-

pledged himself to abate the nuisance. The

HARRY v. TERHUNE DEAD.
For Many Years Cashier of American
Express COmDany.

Harry v. Terhune died last night at his
home, corner of New York and Liberty
streets, of paralysis. Thursday he had a
severe stroke and this led to his rapid dis
solution. Mr.. Terhune was pensioned en-
ploye of the American Express Company
having served with that corporation for
twenty-five years, acting as cashier at the
time he was retired. He was faithful in his
service, and throughout all that time did not
have a blot of any kind on his record. Be
coming disabled by rheumatism, he retired
under the regulation of the company which
permits employees to retire on a pension
after a certain period of continuous employ
ment. When able to be about, however he
always volunteered his services to the COM
pany particularly during the holiday rush.
Many business men and others who have
had dealings with the express company in
the last quarter of century recall his
sunny disposition and affable ways. His
kindly treatment towards messenger boys
frequently sent to the express office made
him a warm favorite with this class of
youngsters.
Mr.. Terhune was unmarried An aged
mother and two sisters survive him.
