WINNIPEG, Dec On. d. Neill, the

make an extraordinary offer to the

Mr. Neill, who is a Canadian, is en-
gagged in fitting UP model automatic

Sooner or later" said Mr.. Neill, 1.-The
automatic system will be adopted in all
the large cities, and the telephone girl
will be abolished. To compensate these

are now engaged in the telephone SER

There are thousands of men in the

every young woman who would like to
go out to Canada. We will agree to
pay her board and lodging and supply
her with pocket money for six months

STRANGE DEATH COMES
TO TEN IN COFFIN SUIT
100000 ATTACHES TO PECULIAR
CASE IN COURT
Men Who Engage In Fight Over Prop-
erty Given to Undertaken Struck
Down MysteriousIy as Though by
Judgment of Heaven

Special to The Herald.
GALVESTON, Dec. 2S.-Death from a
strange malady which physicians say
they have never before seen or heard
OF has overtaken ten men who were
connected with the suit over a piece Of
property given to an undertaken by q
widow, In payment for her husbands
coffin. The belief is widespread in this
vicinity that the deaths are judgment
from heaven. SO terrifying have been
the manifestations of what is believed
to be divine wrath that even the county
officials refuse to have anything
more to do with the case, which prob
ably never will be adjudioated, at least
in the present generation.
The case is that of George IE. Smith
against John Daley. Both men died
soon after suit was brought of the
strange disease which specialists were
unable to diagnose or treat. Then
Thomas Brick, the district clerk who
filed the suit, fell victim to the same
mysterious avenger
Three lawyers participated I'm the
widows coffin suit" as 1t is called
Clegg Stewart Forester Rose and Will
liam T. Austin. Within O few days all
three became Ill and died of the peculiar
disease for which no remedy could be
found. Then Judge William II. Stewart,
who tried the case and who but a few
days before had rendered a decision in
the case and granted a new trial, fell
victim, and in short time expired.
Alexander Bartlingcock and G. A.
Sias were employed to survey the land
in preparation for the new trial.
Scarcely had they completed their task
when they fell i'll and died.
J. f. Simons the district clerk,
laughed at the fears of the superstitous,
and made preparations for the new
trial. On Thursday last he died.

CITY ENGINEERS lORCE HOLDS
HIGH CHRISTMAS CARNIVAL

The city engineers Office looked as
skipped out without his pack yester-
day at noon when the employees of the
department held their annual high
iinks." There is some little Joke con-
nected with nearly every member OF
the department and these jokes were
made the basis of foolish little Christ
mas presents which were presented and
received entirely in a, spirit Of fun.
A program of short speeches pre-
ceded the distribution of presents, in
which Mayor McAleer, Byron Oliver
and City Engineer Stafford concisely
told of the work that had been done
during the last year. The mayor ex-
tended the greetings of the city, Attor-
ney oliver spoke on behalf of the tax
payers and Mr.. Stafford for the depart
ment
Each of the speakers was presented
with little gift. To Mayor McAleel
was given Los Angeles in a Nutshell"; I;
for Attorney oliver toy garden tools
with which the taxpayers could work
to pay for the improvements emanat-
ing from the city engineers office, and
to Engineer Stafford a toy automo-
bile, warranted not to go more than
twenty miles an hour This was TO
commemorate Mr.. Stafford's recent ex-
perience In being fined by a. police
judge for speeding a city automobile
faster than the law allows.
But the "hired help" of the depart
ment had a more serious present for
Mr.. Stafford. This was magnificent
silver service, to which every member
of the department had subscribed as
a token of their esteem for their su-
perior officer.
