and said in clear tone:
"This man was engaged to another
young lady and he has failed to keep
his promise to marry her. She is now

RIGHTS OF SALOONS INVOLVED.
Question of Interest to Nebraska Towns
Before Supreme Court.

Lincoln, Neb., March 13.-The consti-
tutional right of cities to prohibit the
operation of saloon within a certain
territory is involved in the suit of Tay-
lor Flick, which has been appealed to
the supreme court from Custer county.
Mr.. Flick owns building in territory
of Broken Bow within which the OPP
Grafton of saloons and billiard halls has
been prohibited by city ordinance. He
wishes to rent portion of his property
for the forbidden business and asks the
supreme court to give him the desired
relief.
In the district court of Custer county
a decision was given in favor of the city
and Mr. Flick Immediately appealed,
acting as his own attorney. The city of
Broken Bow, thru its attornew. A. r.
Humphrey, today filed an argument in
the supreme court in support of the or
dinance. 1t is asserted that the right of
a city to regulate. locate and fix noun-
daries in which certain businesses,
amusements and trades may be carried
on within the corporate limits has been
sustained by the supreme court IN the
case of Gustave r. Wolfe.

Jones' Story Weakened.

New York, March 1S.-EXperiments
made by direction of the recorder in the
Patrick trial yesterday seemed to bear
out the contention of expert witnesses
for the defense that Valet Jones could
not have burned the chloroform soaked
towels with which he said he killed Mr..
Rice. Two towels were soaked in
chloroform and an attempt made to
burn them. DR.. Girdner, who conduct
ed the experiments, reported that one
towel blaZed for nine minutes, smol-
dered for fifty-one minutes and then
went out The second burned slowly
for fifteen minutes and smoldered fifty
four minutes. One-third of the material
was consumed in the first test and one
fourth in the second. Sponges used re-
sisted the action of the fire better than
the cotton material of the towel
Dr. Isaac Newton Love of the POST
Graduate Hospital Medical College tes-
titled that the symptoms revealed by
the autopsy on Rice's body could not
have resulted from the inhalation of
chloroform. In his opinion. death was
caused by old age. congestion of the
lungs and odema.

BATTLE WITH WOLVES.
Keeper Badly Hurt by Enraeed Beasts
at Indianapolis Zoo.

Keeper Badly Hurt by Enraged Beasts
at indianapolis Zoo.
Indianapolis, Ind, March 13.-Henry
Fleming, a keeper and helper at the
Riverside park zoo, yesterday morning
had terrible fight with three feroc-
ious wolves confined at the grounds.
1t was only thru the most heroic eff.
forts that he escaped death. AS usual,
he entered the enclosure and proceed
ed with his work The wolves glow,
cred at him. but for the time offered no
show of resenting the intrusion. Sud-
denly, however, they leaped upon
Fleming as he was in a STOPPING pos
ture, and buried their fangs in his
flesh. He called Justify for help, but
no one was within sound of his voice.
Then began hand to hand fight with
the beasts, and all four rolled in a
mass about the enclosure. The howl
ing of the wolves and Fleming's own
cries finally brought assistance just as
the keeper was sinking into uncon-
sciousness. The door was opened and
the keeper rescued. He was found to
have been bitten in a dozen different
places and seriously. if not fatally,
injured.
