Brynie was arrested in South Minneap-
Oils IN an advanced state of intoxication.
He spent the night in threshing around his
cell and occasionally battered the bars. AS
a result his appearance this morning was
pitiful. His, eyes were blackened and
swollen and his head badly cut.
No sooner had he been placed in the
s"bull-pen" at the: police court before the
snakes appeared. They were everywhere
and his antics We're at first rather anus

About 9 o'clock Wednesday night Mr..

within the backroorn where bottled, milk

BOND | NOT IN YET

Tomorrow.
What It Cost the Former Bondsmen
to Be sureties for Dr..

TO morrow at p. m. the time limit for
the filing of the A. A. Ames' SIS, 900 band
expires. If the sureties have not all JUS
titled by that time the doctor will prob
ABLY have to go to Jail. That such an
outcome is now beyand the range Of pos
slb1lity Is the contention of DR.. Ames
counsel Who say positively that bondsmen
in abundance have been secured and the
bond will be ready at the proper time.
However, as yet there has been moth
ing doing" at the courthouse. Assistant
County Attorney G. S. Jelley and Judge C.

some appearance.
Every surety will have to justify said
Mr.. Jelley this morning. Each man who
goes on these bonds will have to appear
in court and testify under oath as to his
property We take no chances and every
man will have to prove that he is good
for the amount opposite his name This
will take time and there are some of the
prospective bondsmen, if names given are
correct, whose ability to justify seems to
me extremely doubtful. AS yet there has
been nothing done and when the prisoner 8
attorneys expect to have their men up for
approval I do not know -, 81
Henry S. Meade, one Of the Dr. Ames'
lawyers, said that he had nothing to say
as to the matter of bonds except that they
would be filed in time tomorrow after
noon.
Some Of the men who are understood to
have consented to sign the bond are:
Captain Mcmillan, formerly commandant
at the soldiers home; DR.. G. A. Wheaton

MUST GET A. B. FIRST -
New Medical Course Will Make
ssMedics" Work, -. e

There seems to be some misunderstand-
ing as to the exact plans Of the executive
committee of the university regents in the
reconstruction Of the medical course. A
member Of the committee appointed to
Investigate the matter said that the
courses in medicine are not to be Short
ened in any particular whatever but would
in reality be such as to compel every med
deal student who enters the ''U'' after this
year to spend at least six years in college
and to obtain his A. B. degree before being
allowed to receive an M D. Under the
present rule the student is required to
take only one years work in the academic
department before entering the medical
school. The committeeman said that only
the best class Of students would be able
to complete all Of the work prescribed in
the proposed six year course and that it
would take many Of them seven years to
obtain the two degrees. ss.sA yS:.ss
