ALMOST KILLED BY BATH.
Brown Pleaded On Bonded Knee to be
Excused.

OWATONNA, Mimi, Jan. flank
Brown, prisoner at the county Jail.
is recovering from the effects of bath
which almost caused his death.
Brown has been a character about
local saloons and lived a rough life.
He was arrested for stealing grain
from his employer, and when he ar
rived at the Jail Sheriff Misgen insisted
that he take a bath. Brown pleaded
on his knees to be excused from the
awful ordeal, but his entreaties were
not considered, and he was given a
good, warm bath.
Soon after he came out of the tub
he was taken violently i'll. Perspiration
flowed from every pore in his body in
great drops, and he became delirious.
The county physician was summoned
and Brown has been under his care
since. It is believed that he will sur
vive the effects of the bath, which was,
to all evidences. his first in a long
period.

SEEK A GO-BETWEEN IN CASE
District Attorney jerome Must Have
Have Man Who Paid Money.

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-No Roadway
has been made by District Attorney
Jerome in corroborating the confess
sion of Charles F. Dodge in the Morse
divorce tangle.
Until he gets corroborative evidence
his case, it is said by lawyers follow
ing it closely, will be insufficient to
convince a jury of the guilt of anyone
he may put on trial
One of the most important wit
nesses wanted by Jerome to corrobo-
rate Dodge is Edward J. Bracken, for
merly in the employ Of firm of law
yers who have been conspicuously busy
in the Dodge-Mo scandal Under
the name of James F. Bradley, Bracken
was Dodge's constant companion more
than year in Texas.
He was the go-between, it is said,
who supplied Dodge with the $4,000
that was received from persons
anxious. to keep out of the clutches
of Jerome.
The day before Dodge sailed from
Texas Bradley left by train, ostensi-
bly, for this city. It is believed he did
come here and that he went west
when it became known that Dodge had
confessed.
For three days detectives have been
hunting for Bradley or Bracken.
Morse is neither Mrs. Morse nor Mrs
Dodge have been pronounced absurd
by her lawyers. They said that she
was legally Mrs. Charles w. Morse.

SESSION At THE COURT
HOUSE..
Permanent County Organization May
Be Perfected-Editor Smith
Tells Of His Experiences.

The Farmers Institute, under the
direction of the members of the fac
ulty at the Washington Agricultural
college, is in session at the court
house and will be continued over
Thursday. The attendance IS fairly
good and the addresses delivered were
entertaining and instructive.
The institute was called to order
this morning at 10 o'clock by Oliver
T. Cornwell, who is acting as presid-
ing officer.
Suggested County Organization.
The first speaker of the session was
Professor r. w. Thatcher. He ex-
planned in detail the work that was
being carried on throughout the state
by the college faculty and gave his
tory of the many experiments that had
been conducted at the experimental
farmers of Walla Walla county to per-
feet a permanent organization, to be
known as the County Institute, in
order that the annual meetings could
be looked after by those most interest
ed in the matter. He claimed that in
other counties where similar organi-
cations had been formed a greater In
terest had been awakened and much
good had come to the farmers.
Chairman Cornwell also favored the
plan and will probably appoint a COM
mittee to report some plan of organi-
cation.
