HIGHWAY ROBBERY
Charles Carson Held to Answer to the
Superior Court

Charles Carson, who was arrested Fri
day night for sratch.ng a sack Of money
from Conductor c. J. Smith Of the East
Side electric line, while the latter was
counting his change near the Baker hock,
was held to answer to the superior court
yesterday by Justice Owens. who placed
his bonds at $1,000
While the Justice court considered the
evidence against Carson sufficient to hold
him to answer, there Is a strong probable
ity that he may be released in the higher
court for lack of evidence. So far there
has been no witness who saw Carson
snatch tho sack. This, with the fact that
when he was arrested there was no money
found on his person, is considered possi-
BILE loophole out Of which Carson may
escape.
With these facts IN view tho prosecution
hos decided TO dig up II possible as much
Of Carson's back history as Will prove det-
r.mental to his reputation. Little or moth
ing Is known Of HIM in the city. as he ar
rived here last Monday. According to rs
own testimony. Carson has led rolling

CATHOLIC ORPHANS FAIR
Closed Last Evening After Success
full Week

The Catholic orphans fair that has been
In progress at Turnverein hall during the
week closed last evening with a larger at
tendance than any preceding since the
opening. While the sales have not been
as lively and, the voting as numerous as Is
usual on such occasions, It is expected
that the net receipts will amount to a
handsome sum in the aggregate. The
Monte Carlo booth has been the drawing
card Of the fair and Mrs. De Cells and
Mrs. DR.. Smith have kept things lively and
have done q thriving business. Every other
ticket drew a prize worth more than the
price asked and proved an allurement that
few visitors could withstand.
Goods remaining unsold were auct:oned
off last evening and the bidding was lively.
Fred Eaton made his customary annual
donation yesterday to the orphans fair
fund. Jacoby Brothers donated hand
some gold-headed cane that was disposed
of by vote. The sale and drawing Of prizes
kept UP to a late hour.

BRADSHA y PROTESTS
Contends That Water Dumped on Fur
rev Tract Is Not All His


T. T. Bradshaw owner of certain lots
fronting On Orange street between Wit
mer and Vernon streets, and against the
drainage water from which Major ". c.
Furrey has bee- endeavor.ng to obtain
relief, has decided to take a hand in the
matter himself. At the board Of public
works meeting on Friday. Major Furrey
presented such argument as led the board
to recommenr the closing Of the drainage
pipe which carries the water from Brad
shaws property and dumps it upon the
Furrey tract two blocks below. This ac-
ton was really grounded cn the represen-
tation that the water originated on Brad
shaw's property and was therefore his re-
sponsib!lity.
Mr.. Bradshaw wears another pair of
glasses and consequently sees things DIFF
ferently Yesterday he flied a protest and
cross-pet!t.on, in which he objects to the
closing Of the drain pipe in question ard
gently hints that proper action IN the mat
ter at this time viii save large costs to the
city and great detr.ment and trouble. He
contends that while part Of tho accumu
lation of water is due 70 the presence Of
a flowing spring on his let's. much Of It
comes from the drainage CT a natural ra-
vine which begins as far north az Temple
street and for which he in in no wise re-
spons.ble. His protests insists that the
drain in question. together with certain
culverts under Sixth. Seventh and Orange
streets, We're put in by the city for the very
purpose of carrying the water IT this ravine
and that its stoppaee will result IN material
damage to his property and that OF people
further north.
Council Is therefore petit!oned to prevent
the stopping Of the drain pipe and the con-
sequent damage.
