DOG DAYS IN POLICE COURT
Miscellaneous Assortment of CANNES
Put on Trial for Capital
Grimes.

These are dog days at the police court.
The first case on the docket yesterday was
against Hero. a large brindle mastiff be-
longing to John Shaffroth. and charged
with biting a little girl, Shaffroth pleaded
eloquently for the life Of Hero, while the
dog with apparent Indifference to the pro-
ceedings, sat in the rear Of the room,
chained to the radiator. Stunned by all
except the members Of the Shaffroth family.
After a lengthy hearing Judge Berka pro-
nounced the death sentence on Hero and
he was lead forth for the slaughter.
Emergency officer Dan Baldwin, special
executioner, after having the owner securely
tie the dog to a wagon wheel in the rear
Of the Jail, fired three shots into Hero's
head. At the third shot Hero seemed TO
realize something was doing, and after
making a strenuous effort to lick the hand
that smote him, proceeded to bark at q
passing motor car while Baldwin went in
for more ammunition. II took four shots
to send Hero to canine heaven.
Ed Loman's fierce canine, who was
charged with running out Of the yard at
2O15 Martha street and taking a bite out OF
a 4-year-cld son OF Mrs. Ora Farber, a
neighbor, failed to have sentence passed
upon him by a peculiar accident. The case

about twelve witnesses had been heard.
Loman had put up a strong defense for his
dog, and 1t had been intimsted that this
morning he would appear with an array Of
witnesses who would swear that the dog
was not only good, but that he was always
kept chained. Instead Of the witnesses.
however. Loman came alone and informed
the court that during the night his dog had
taken poison and the case was thrown out
Of court. Whether the dog had taken the
poison with suicidal intent Loman was I'M
able TO say.
A large black dog belonging to J, G.
Moran. Forty-ninth and Francis streets, was
charged with being vicious. The case was
continued until Thursday. The complaint
against Moran's dog was filed by c. c..
Peterson, whom Moran said vas angry be-
cause his dog whipped Peterson's dog in a
fair fight.

PUNCHING UP THE PURSES
Ak-Sar-Ben Governors Makes Usual
Threat to Discontinue
Parade Feature.

Because OF lack Of a quorum the Board Of
Governors OF the Knights Of Ak-Sar-Ben
held no meeting Tuesday. A member says
the Board Of Governors is seriously con-
sidering the question Of suspending the an
nual parade for one year, II not dropping
that feature entirely. He said:
The Board Of Governors OF the knights
Of Ak-Sar-Ben will not go in debt. / was
very much surprised when the secretary in
formed me of the total amount received
from the retail dealers Of the city IN re-
Spouse to the circulars recently sent out
asking for funds for the parade. The total
amount was so small hat we take 1t as an
evidence that the people are ready to drop
the parades which have been the principal
feature Of the fall festivals.
Last year was the GROWING success OF
the series and IL the people who provide
the funds are willing for that to be the last
we have no right to object, but the crowd
which turned out to see that parade in
spite Of rain and the national calamity is
an evidence that the people Of the state
are not tired Of the parades. But the
parade cannot be given without funds and
the board has no right to anticipate re-
ceipts. 1t will not do this and unless the
money is on hand work will cease. We can
go ahead with the preparations for the ball,
work the limitations as usual and then close
the affair"

fast pace down the backstretch, closely
followed by Red Hook. When the turn
Mas made Coburn sent Abe Frank forward
and the Derby favorite drew away as he

Games Here in May,
June and August.

Giving way at last to the persistent i'm
portunities Of Managers Rourke Of Omaha
and Packard Of Denver, the schedule com
mittee Of the Western league has finally
consented TO hold a meeting for the final
adoption Of a playing schedule and has
called the session for today at Kansas City.
Pa" Rourke is highly elated at this. I'VE
will now have a schedule by Thursday
night, said he. while II we had kept on
endeavoring to agree upon one by mail we
would never have got IL at all. The settle
ment Of such disputes as come up in these
matters require personal contact and i'm
mediate argument, not an i"ntermittent dis
oussion by mall
Rourke went to Kansas City last night and
thinks the adoption OF the schedule will be
but a brief matter once the representatives
get together in person. There are three or
four prospective schedules framed up, but
there are no radical points OF difference
in any OF them. and the only discussion as
far as can be foreseen will be on minor
points. Rourke is fairly certain already Of
the principal features Of the schedule as far
as Omaha is concerned. Said he.
Omaha will open and close he season
away from home. The four openings will
be given to the four southern cities. Den
yer, Colorado Springs, Kansas City and st.
Joseph. This is advisable, because Ct ths
weather. While it might be nice and warm
in Omaha, Des Moines. Peoria and Mil
waukee as early as that, it might not. while
down below we are fairly certain OF the
state Of the weather.
To Avoid Cold snap.
For the same reason these cities will
probably be gwen the closing dates. Sep
TENDER % is liable to bring almost anything
to Omaha in the shape Of a cold snap.
Omaha will not get the Fourth OF July
game, but it will get Labor day and d cora
tion day games on home grounds. There
are twenty-five Sundays included, and thes /,
will be split even, eleven Sunday games be
ing played here.
Our games will be punched in the
menths OF May, June and August. just the
best time for base ball here. We will be
away practically all OF July and Sept I'M

seventy will be played here. April % is
still the opening date. | cannot give out
detailed dates nor matches till after to-
morrow's meeting
Meanwhile the Omaha players continue to
straggle in. Four men came in yesterday.
They were Ace Stewart, second baseman;
Frank Owens, pitcher; Oscar Graham,
pitcher, and Jack Thomas, catcher. Thomas
brings word from St. Louis that Frank
night. There are twelve players in the
city, with only Risley, Gordon, Hickey,
Fleming. Genins and Burg to come.
