A strenuous effort was made by
another member of Zion to secure
the release of his co-workers on a
bond. He said he had arrange
ments all completed for attorneys
and bondsmen. AS Holmes pas
sed into the jail he attempted to
hand fat wallet to the outsider,
but was prevented by the officers.
The assistant then started off in
search Of the helpers he expected.
At a late hour he had not sue
ceeded in persuading any Judge to
accept the bonds and release the
prisoners.
According to the testimony of
Dr. II. D. Peterson, he was called
to see the woman July 22d. She
had given birth to a child five
days before, and he found her in
a serious condition. Her temper
ature was a los. The woman was
taken to st. Lake's hospital where
she died July 28. Mrs. Bratz told
the doctor she was not a licensed
midwife, but had practiced as
such. "She told me trusted in
the Lord,'' said the witness. Mrs.
Bratz was examined and gave
damaging testimony againg har-
self. She insisted that she had
never any misluck before. .

A location for the depot is sought

FAITH HEALERs JAILED.
Two of DOwit.'s Helpers Held
for Mrs. Flanders Death.

At six O'Clock last evening the
gate of the county jail swung op.
90 admit Mrs. Henrika Bratz and
De Witt G. Holmes. The prison
ers were supplicants and divine
healers in the Dowie institution
and we're held responsible by a
coroner's jury for the death of
Mrs. Ann ettia Flanders. -
It was the first st ago in a case
that promised the most rigorous
investigation in to the workings
of 'Zion', ever made. Mrs. Elan
ders lay i'll for days, tortured by
undescribable agonies, with no at
tendance save of the two who
prayed unavailingly at her bed
side. Then a doctor was called.
It was already too late, and after
five days of un onciousness at st.
Luke's hospital, the woman died.
'Elder" Holmes add Mrs. Bratz
were taken to the jail in a cover
ed patrol wagon five minutes after
the verdict was made known. The
investigation of the coroner was
conducted by Deputy Coroner
George B. Ebbe. The verdict
stated that Mrs. Flanders came to
her death from 'peritonitis," and
''puerperal septicaemia," at St.
Luke's hospital, caused by GRIM
inal negligence and malpractice
on the part of Dewitt G. Holmes
and Mrs. Henrik Bratz.
A mittimus was issued on the
the spot and soon the two were
held behind the bars. There the
"elder" lost his title and became
known as "the man in 5l3," and
Mrs. Bratz was, of: course,
incarcerated in the women's Sec
tion.
The routine of the case at the
Jail was relieved by an amusing
incident that happened as the pris-
oners were leaving their valuables
IN the Office. Turnkey J. F.
O'Neil had just taken a handful
of cards from Holmes pocket
when then the preacher handed
him one, after sorting them over,

Must Attend School.

Just before the public schools
open, for the coming school year,
it may be we'll to call attention to
Chapter 226 of the laws passed
by the legislature last winter. 1t
requires that children between the
ages of 8 and 16 must attend
school during all the time there is
school in the district. The school
board may appoint a truant officer
who may have power to apprehend
and take to school any children
not attending, and the parents or
guardians are liable to misde-
meanor.
OF course there circumstances
that the bosrd may take into con-
sideration and excuse the child
from acknowledgement as poor
health. poverty Of the parents, or
the fact that the child is engaged
in some occupation permitted by
law.

into Trouble in the City.
The following from the Min
neapolis Daily Journal:
Helen Gaylord, a comely young
woman, is in durance vile at the
central station, charge of grand
larceny being preferred against
her ~ Mrs. G. r. Porter Of 1923
Nicollet avenue. The story tt Id
by Mrs. Porter portrays Helen at
a star performer in the depot wor-
ker's fraternity. Mrs. Porter ar
rived at the Union depot yester-
day morning, and as she was pas
sing through she was accosted by
Miss Gaylord. Mrs. Porter re-
piled to the young woman's salu-
tation by telling her that she must.
be mistaken in the party. Miss
|Gaylord replied she was to meet
woman on the train whom she
had never seen and had naturally
mistaken Mrs. Porter for her.
The two chatted together and
started out on Bridge square, Miss
Gaylord having taken Mrs. Por-
ter's wraps and bundle. Mrs.
Porter suggested that they step
in fruit and confectionery store
and get glass Of soda. The in
vitation was accepted. While
Mrs. Porter was drinking her
soda she missed her small chate-
laine purse containing $40. Her
companion suggested that she
might have left it in the car and
that leaving the bundles in the
store they go back to enquire for
it. Tbs suggestion was acted,
upon and they started back to the
depot. At the door Miss Gaylord
excused herself to Mrs. Porter
and started up the street. She
dropped into the fruit store and
secured the bundles and that was
the last seen of her until last ev-
ening when she was arrested.
When brought to the central sta
tion she appeared in one of Mrs.
Porter's gowns and about SIS of
the $40 was found in her pocket.
She also told the detectives that
the rest of Mrs. Porter's belong
ings, which were valued at $115,
were in St. Paul.

ANOTHER HOT CITY FIGHT.
In Which Municipal Ownership and War
on Corporations Are Factor.

Cleveland, April 3. - The municipal
campaign which closed Saturday night
is the most remarkable ever conducted
in Cleveland. The candidates for mayor
are Robert Z. McKisson. Republican,
who seeks reelection for a third term
and John II. Farley. Democrat. a for
mer mayor. McKisson and Farley were
the opposing candidates two years ago.
when the former won by about $500
plurality. At that time Farley had the
opposition of a large number of silver
Democrats, who refused to support him
because he had failed to give active
support to Bryan in the presidential
campaign
Now the Democratic party is prac-
tically united for Farley, and McKisson
has the open and avowed opposition not
only of large part of the Republicans,
who accuse him of treachery to his
party in attempting to prevent NJ. A.
Hanna's election to the senate last
winter. but of a municipal association
composed of 500 repress ntative citiz ms.
which charges that he has admins
tered the city government in the in
terest OF a personal political machine.
McKisson stands on his record as
mayor and has pledged himself to mu-
nicipaI ownership and warfare on the
corporations. His fiji nds say he will be
supported by workingmen regardless os
party.
