A RoBBER FOOLED.
Harris Pharmacy the Scene of an
Attempted Midnight MoId-Un.


Last night about Ii o'clock, as Will
Sears, night clerk in Harris pharmacy,
corner of Thirteenth street and Nicollet
avenue, was about to lock Up for the
night, man entered the store who had
the lower part Of his face covered with
a handkerchief, and ordered Sears to
throw up his hands, and be in a hurry
about it, at the same time leyeling a re-
volver at the young man.
Sears jumped behind the prescription
case, and, securing his revolver, fired
shot at the wouId-be robber The robber
returned the fire, and Immediately start
ed for the door. Sears followed after
him and fired three more shots as he
ran down the street.
He cannot tell whether any of the shots
took effect or not, as the robber soon
was out of sight. The shot fired by the
robber went wide Of It's mark and lodged
in the wall. The first shot fired by
Sears went through the window. The
other three shots were at a greater dis
lance and in the dark, so it is barely
possible that one of them took effect.
Sears says he was a large-sized man,
ana appeared to be perfectly cool and
collected, and acted as though he might
be an, old,timer at the business, but
after the shooting commenced he appar-
emily. lost his nerve and concluded that
running was more in his lire just at that
particular time.
Sears believes he could identify the
man should be he captured The police
are searching for him and think they
have fair show of landing him.

while the decline in railroad debentures
and preferences brings the total loss to
over s100,000,OO0.

MRS. BON|NE'S TURN
GOVERNMENT CONCLUDES IT'S TIES
TIMONY AGAINST ALLEGED
MURDERESS
THE DEFENSE Is OUTLINED
Different Statements of Defendant
to the Police VIII he Adhered
to and VIII Be Explained
ON the Stand.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-The govern
ment today closed it's case in the trial
of Mrs. Ida Bonine for the killing OF
James Seymour Ayres Jr., and Attorney
keene, of counsel for the defense, made
a preliminary statement in behalf Of Mrs.
BONNIE. 1t was made evident from Mr..
Keene'S statement that the effort would
be to show lack of motive for the crime
on the part of Mrs. Bonnie, and to sup
port her plea that Ayres was killed in a
struggle after he had tried to intimidaee
her with revolver.
The principal witness on the stand to-
day was Prof. Schaeffer, a chemist, who
made a microscopic examination Of the
wrapper worn by Mrs. Iionlne on The
night Of the tragedy, and VIII, said that
he had found no traces of blood up
on 1t. He also said that he saw no blo.d
on the slippers which she had worn on
that occasion. Another witness Of the day
was Ayres' father, who told of an inter-
view he had had with Mrs. Sonine three
Or four days after the i,illing. lie outiin-
ed his efforts to arouse Ter sympathy
but said that she did not respond.
Defense Outlined.
In his address Mr.. Keene called atten-
ton to the fact that Mrs. Bonlne was
chosen as leader on the social festivities
Of the hotel, and this choice, he said,
fell upon her because Of her capacity.
He said that 1t would be shown that in
getting up the dances Mrs. Bonnie had
visited the rooms Of all persons, regard
less Of sex or age. who could dance, to
get them to participate. 1t would also
be shown that Mrs BONNIE was fond Of
the study Of medicine and that this fond
ness had served her in ministering to
the sick, and that she did visit many OF
them. Proof would also be given that
on March Mrs. BONNIE had reproved
Ayres for drinking, and that while some
GOODNESS resulted, there was no strong
feeling, as was shown by the fact that
on the Monday before the killing she
ate ice cream with Ayres.
There also was testimony, he said, that
would show the window shade In Ayres'
room had been run up with bloody hand
and that that hand was Mrs. Bonines.
He referred to the four or five state
ments made by Mrs. Bonnie, and said
there were no Inconsistencies among
them. His client did not desire to modify
or change them, but would stand by
them.

An interesting decision was handed down
yesterday by the Appellate Court through
Judge Robinson. 1t was in the case of
the Rushville Cooperative Telephone Com
pany against Arthur B. Irwin. Irwin's
telephone was disconnected because he had
not paid rent for it on demand. He held
a claim against the company which he
had acquired by purchase, and on which
he offered to credit his debt for telephone
service. This offer was declined. He de-
manded that his telephone be reconnected,
but was refused and brought suit against
the company for 500 under the statute
imposing fine of 500 on telephone
company in this State that refuses to give
service to any person in it's territory on
equal terms with its other subscribers
Later he made nine other demands for
telephone service and being met with
refusal in each instance brought suit for
$500. which was consolidated with the FORM
er case. Irwin obtained judgment for ST.
600. The case was reversed on the ground
that a telephone company is not required
to adjust claims against 1T when collect
ing rent for telephone service. From the
decision 1t appears that Twins judgment
for 900 would have been valid if he
had not refused to pay his rent.

A UNIQUE SUIT FILED
THE WARD FAMILY DIFFICULTIES
IN THE COURTS.
A Fine Legal Point Is Involved i'm the
Case-Other Cases i'm the
Courts.

A unique suit involving a fine legal
ing in Judge Leathers's court The plain
tiff brings suit as next friend to her grand
daughter against her own son to set aside
a deed.
Some time ago Mary Ward, as next
friend to Jennie Ward, filed a suit against
Thomas Ward to set aside a deed. Wards
wife held three lots in her name, which
were decided to him before she died, in
stead of being divided between her chill
dren. 1t is alleged that after Wards wife
died he became the victim of a design
ing woman, mortgaged the property to
get money and there was danger of his
squandering all the funds which belonged
to her children unless the court inter
yened.
Thomas Ward and his brother. Steve
Ward, were formerly partners and con-
Quoted a prosperous pawnbroker business.
After Thomas Wards wife died and the
cause OF the suit now pending against
him became apparent, they failed to agree
and dissolved partnership. Steve bought
his brothers interest and Thomas started
a place of his own.
In the motion 10 dismiss the suit filed by
Thomas Ward, he says the suit TO set
aside the deed was instituted without the
knowledge or consent OF his daughter,
who is nine years old. that it was brought
to embarrass him and cause an estrange-
ment between him and his children, and
that his mother and brother are his avowed
enemies Jennie Ward and the other three
children also filed affidavits that the suit
was without their knowledge, and that
their father has provided for them.
The point of law involved is whether or
hot suit can be brought as next friend
without the knowledge or consent of the
plaintiff In reality.
