Odom, Brother of Milan Odon, and a
half-brother of Raymond White was
called in the district court today. and
large number of people came here
from Wallis as witnesses, among them
relatives of J. C. Odom. There was no
outbreak until the parties met at the
depot, where a large crowd was assem-

the affair started no one seems to know
definitely, but it is generally claimed
that the first hostile act was committed

. STANDS BY HIS APPOINFEEs.
Mayor Ames Returns and Defines
His Position.


Mayor Ames returned from French Lick
Springs at 1850 Tuesday night. He left
minneapolis a little over a week ago in
company with Capt. Hill, and intended
to sbe gone for an indefinite length of
time, but business matters in the city
were so pressing that it was necessary
to cut his trip short and return at once
to assume control of the reins of gov
eminent again.
/ When he arrived at his Office yesterday
, morning the first man to greet him was
Capt Coffee john Fitchette, with
whom the mayor shook hands and ex-
changed a few pleasant words. Then the
mayor, with the superintendent of police,
Capt. Hill, Tom Brown Jr. and Coffee
John, retired into the mayors private
office, where they remained cloSeted for
nearly an hour. ~-
Many matters Of Importance were talk
ed over and it was then decided to drop
within a short time in order, that they
may be able to keep within the appro-
priation limit. Nothing will be done right
away, and it could not be learned just
who the unfortunate ones would be.
After looking over some papers in re-
gard to the trouble at the Workhouse and
the city hospital and other departments
of the city government, the mayor then
admitted the reporters, and to them he
said:
Il am in favor Of a thorough investiga-
ton into any municipal institution where
there has been sincere criticism as to
the conduct Of affairs. AS to the hos
pital 1 Will say that I believe there has
been no overcharges as reported. Mr..
Thompson agreed to furnish medicine to
the institution at as low a rate
as any druggist in this To-
cality, and believe he has done so. How
r ever am anxious that there shall be a
thorough investigation, but I intend 10
stand by my appointees until there is
positive proof that there is something
wrong.
There is one thing that wish to say
regarding affairs at the workhouse, and
that is this: I have always held to the
belief that the wife of public official
should not be admitted to an institution
in which ne is employed. I cannot stand
for 'petticoat government -
When asked about his withdrawal from
the congressional race, he said:
IT wish to state emphatically that my
health was the only thing that entered
into my determination to withdraw, and
have not regretted the move. AS re-
CARDS to making the campaign again for
mayor, [ do not know as 1 shall be a
candidate. I have not been urged by my
friends to make the race, and only my
health win determine whether I shall
enter for the contest or not
The mayor said that he enjoyed his trip
very much, and that he was feeling very
much better as a result.

Proceedings Against Health Board

Some time ago the board of health
ordered the construction Of an arrange
ment for receiving garbage on a va
cant lot situated at the corner of Bry-
ant and Second avenue north.
About 100 residents of the vicinity met
at 500 Western avenue Tuesday evening
and made a strong protest against the
board for instigating the scheme.
The people say such a dump is nuis-
ance and will injure the neighborhood.
They threaten to bring injunction pro-
ceedings if the health department does
not select another place for its garbage
dump.
A committee was appointed with full
power to act.
Another meeting will be held next
Tuesday at S18 Western avenue, when
the advisability of organizing a per-
manent improvement association Will be
considered. 1t is understood that the
nearest house to the lot in question is
some 800 feet away.

sees no reason why objections should
be made.

Two were secured in quick succession.
An unusual occurrence happened in the

an old resident in the city and was a
candidate for sheriff against Megaarden
during his first campaign, and was de-

Mart was one of the jurymen select
ed on the special venire, and when his
name was drawn from the box by Dep
uty Ryberg, and he took the stand to
answer such questions as We're put to
him, the attorney for the defendant said,

the state responded quickly, ''the juror is
satisfactory" This was all done with

somewhat of question; from the man

examining the jurors, it is plainly evil
dent that they have been endeaYoring
to select men who know nothing about
the case, but here is man, who, without
doubt has followed the investigation of
the sheriffs office very closely, and has
certainly made up his mind as to whether
the defendant is innocent or guilty.
