Against MIR. w, II. Bedford.

DR. j. G..~Nan Mater filed suit for

City Court yesterday. He fixes the
amount of his damages at $4,000 and
asks that this sum be awarded him by

tain statements said to have been
made by Mr. Bedford as to the profess
sional conduct of DR.. Van Marter.

that after her death Mr.. Belford stated
in the presence of a number of per-
sons that DR. Van Marter had not Wis
tied his wife for four days. although
he knew she was in a dangerous ana
critical condition of health, and that
her death resulted from this cause. He
is said to have accused DR.. Van Marter
of killing his wife.
DR.. Van Marter declares that these

Bedford have damaged him in his pro-
fession. and tended to injure his prac-
tice and that they We're known by
the defendant to be maliciously and
falsely untrue. DR.. Van Marter is rep

AFFECTED HER MIND.
Ruth Nelson's Mental Condition Due
10 Medicine.

Ruth Nelson alias Mrs. Emma Con-
yers Fiske. the woman arrested sew
eral days ago by Deputy Sheriffs Nc
Caffery and Fennell and held at the
county Jail on a charge of lunacy, ap-
pears to be recovering her reason and
talks more nationally than at any time
since her arrest.
She even attempts to account for her
strange conduct on the streets and
while she has not completely recovered
her senses she appears to be on fair
road to recovery. The unfortunate wo-
man claims that she was taking medi-
cine that had been given her by a ply
stefan and that after the first dose she
had strange feeling in her head. Her
condition became worse as she took
more of the drug and she accounts for
her improvement by reason of the fact
that she has taken none of the medi-
cine since her confinement. The woman
says that her right name is Nelson,
ard that she came to this city from
Charleston to make an effort to Sc
cure an engagement for two girl aero
bats now performing on the midway
in that city. 1t is now believed that
there was only a temporary alteration
of the mind.
