theran church to discuss the bond PROPOSE

the voting place to instruct the women how
to prepare their ballots and this will be
done. The women showed that they are
very enthusiastic over the new High school
project and it looks as If the bond PROPOSE
tion will carry by an overwhelming ma
jority.

Accidental Shooting.

Eddie johnson. the 15-year-old son Of
Samuel Johnson, living at SO5 Kapell ave-
nue., accidently shot himself in the heshy
part of the right thigh last evening with
a revolver The boy had been reading dime
novels and had become imbued with the idea
that it would be a great thing to own re-
volver He lacked the price, however, but
was not to be daunted by such small cir
cumstance as that. So during his father
absence from the house yesterday afternoon
he took his sire's overcoat and promptly
hied himself to Sam Snyder's pawnshop,
where he quickly traded it for a revolver
and box of cartridges. Then he repaired
to a cave in the bluffs back of North Sec
ond street where he and some youthful COM
panlons had established a real robbers
rendezvous While playing with the re-
volver II was discharged and the bullet
lodged a few inches above the knee in
his thigh In the meantime his father
had missed his overcoat and reported the
loss 10 the police. The boy was taken to
his home in the patrol wagon, where a
physician extracted the bullet.

JeweIry Taken by Coburg is Located

Jewelry Taken by CoburH is Located
and Recovered.
Detective Shoop of the Omaha police force
recovered a quantity of valuable jewery
stolen by j. II. Coburg from the residences
of Mrs. Wright and Ernest Stenger A
gold watch and a few articles of mnUr
value were found at Sam Friedmans pawn
shop on Broadway, but valuable gold
watch charm which Coburg said he pawned
at Friedman's place were not forthcoming.
Friedman told officer Shoop that he knew
nothing about the goods and the Omaha
officer had to return without them.
The goods recovered at Frledman's were
pawned there by Coburg under the name
of Rogers last Thursday but the pawn
broker failed to make report TO the police
until after Coburg had been arrested and
was in custody in Omaha. From Dan Car
rigg the proprietor of a gambling resort on
Broadway officer Shoop recovered valua-
bic diamond stud that had been stolen from
Mrs Wrights residence by Coburs. The
latter had sold it to Carrigg for $50. Mrs.
Wrght's gold watch vas recovered from a
man working for d local florist, who lad
purchased the timepieCe in saloon on this
side of the river for $40 from Coburg.
Officer Sboop was much mortified at not
recovering all the stolen goods as he had
reason to believe they had been pawned
by Coburg on this side OF the river, and
said that some of the pawn shops of this
city are nothing more or less than fences
for the thieves who operated in Omaha.

The Wachusett Drags Her Anchors

4 southeast gale. blowing fifty miles an
hour, bringing with it heavy showers of
rain, howled up the bay q portion OF last
night. The shipping at the wharves on
the southern water front was exposed to
the force of the storm and the small fry
feet of vessels passed the night thump-
ing and grinding against the dock tim
bers.
At Little Main street wharf two big
lighters tried 10 demolIsh each other and
in a measure succeeded. Their rails were
splintered in the even warfare and their
architectural beauty was very much
spoiled. Several schoouers in Mission
Bay dragged in close to the beach and
punching together, spent the night kick
ing each other in the sides
At o'clock in the evening the gale was
at its height blowing about fifty miles
an hour and full of rain, but from that
time IL fell rapidly TO half that speed
Precautions had been taken aboard the
large vessels moOred in the bay against
the blow and all held to their anchorage
except the ship Wachusett, which was
anchored just south OF the ferry fairway.
About s o'clock she began 10 drag and
although a second anchor was let go, she
worked down until she fouled the tele-
graph cable, where she now lies with her
mud hook hanging to the great wire rope.
