BOARD TO PAY FOR
DESTROYED ANIMALS
Warrants Will Be Sent Out Next
Week to Numerous Claimants

Owing to an insufficient appropria-
ton to meet the necessary expendi-
lures in indemnifying owners of tuber-
cular cattle killed by order of the live
stock sanitary board, there are some
$4,000 in claims which have accumu-
lated since May 1 which cannot be
paid by the board until it's appropria-
ton for the fiscal year beginning Aug.
1 is received.
The entire appropriation for the
year for this purpose is but $4,000,
and as the state pays three-fourths of
the appraised value of the infected an
imals killed it has been found impos-
sible to meet the demands on the
board
One Minneapolis man with bill of
S340 for animals killed by the state
board is among the claimants who
have been forced to await the boards
receipt of its appropriation for the new
fiscal year.
The warrants for the accumulated
claims will be sent out newt week by
DR.. S. H. Ward, the executive agent
of the board. DR.. Ward reports quite
a number of cases of CHAMBERS among
horses, and recently he made trips to
Clay and Cass counties, where dis
eased horses were slaughtered Horses

WOMAN SHOOTS. AT
TARGET, BUT HITS MAN
Thomas S. Poucher Accidentally Shot by
Bullet From Target Rifle

The indiscretion of the woman behind
the gun was illustrated Thursday evening
upon the person of Thomas S. Poucher.
Mr.. Poucher is a mail carrier who lives
at GIT Linwood place.
AS he was standing in his yard at Z
o'clock Thursday evening he felt burn
ing blow above his hip on the left side.
He staggered and dropped to the ground.
When he had been carried into the house
and DR.. H. M. Lufkin had been sum-
moned, it was found that Mr.. Poucher
had been wounded by 22-caliber bullet,
which passed through his side and came
out three inches from the point of en-
trance. Had the ball entered half an
inch higher, said DR.. Lufkin, the wound
would have proved fatal. But as it was.
unless blood poisoning should be caused,
which was not considerable probable, Mr..
Poucher will soon recover.
The bullet had been fired from target
rifle in the yard of Henry Kraushaar's
house, one block south, at 904 st. Clair
street. While several men were firing
at target young woman of the house

NEWS OF THE CITY
HIGH FENCES BARRED
Hackney Ordinance Blocks
Amusement Park Plans

The plans for the establishment of
an amusement park in the Merriam
Park or Midday district are believed
to be blocked by the ordinance intro-
duced in the council some time ago by
Aid Hackney and signed by Mayor
Smith yesterday. The ordinance pro-
hibits the erection of high board fences
within the city limits and is said to
have been framed with view of de-
feating the promoters of the amuse-
ment park, who sought location In
the district between the two cities.
The plans of the promoters was for
an amusement park on large scale.
1t was to be along the lines of Coney
island, and as an admission was TO
be charged, it was the idea to have
the park inclosed by high board
fence. The first location sought by the
promoters was at University and Fair
view, and when objection was made to
this site the promoters planned to 10
cate the park at University and Smell
ing There was decided objection to
this location, and when the promoters
found it impossible to secure permits
sion for the park at Smelling, they next
selected a location out on University
avenue, opposite the street car barns,
in the Midway district.
Both the Merriam Park and St. An
thony Park residents objected to the
amusement park being located in their
vicinities, and to block the plan Aid.
Hackney was prevailed upon to intro
duce the ordinance prohibiting the
construction of high fences within the
city limits.
This ordinance was passed by the
council early in July and the delay in
making it law was the occasion for
an attack by an evening paper upon
City Clerk Redington, who was charg-
ed with holding up the ordinance with
a view of defeating it. An investiga-
ton, however, disclosed the fact that
the city clerk had sent the ordinance
to the mayor Immediately after its pas
sage, but that Mayor Smith had re-
quested that. it be held by the clerk
pending an investigation into its mer-
its which City Engineer Rundlett and
Assemblyman Haas desired to make.
Aid. Hackney last night stated that
the city clerk was in no wise to blame
for the delay in the passage of the or
dinance.
:'I knew where the measure was all
the time" said Aid. Hackney, land Mr..
Redington was not responsible for the
delay. Mr. Rundlett wanted to investi-
gate the ordinance and consented that
it should be held for a time. talked
with the mayor and told him that

Ludwig's saloon open, and asking a

L worked all alone, did not associate
with other persons, and gave no one
an intimation of what was doing. As
precaution secured a room in a house

ton. My practice was to do the work
after IL o'clock, returning to my room
early in the morning and sleeping un-,
til about noon. The afternoons I spent
going about the saloons, buying drinks
and observing the easiest manner of

Laumann is twenty EIGHT years of
age and there is nothing about him
that would cause him to be suspected
of theft. His manner of working alone
made it difficult to detect him, and the
success of the police department in
making the arrest and securing a con-
fession must be elassed as good piece
of work. Laumann did not lay himself
open to suspicion by associating with
thieves, and by going from one saloon
to another failed to attract attentions
