RUNAWAY VICTIM DIES
Nelson Sale. Hurt a Week Ago, Sue
ollnabs to Injuries.

Nelson Sale who was injured IN a
runaway accident September 81 died
at Stormont hospital at 2 o'clock Sat
urGay afternoon. The body will be
taken to his home north of KirO this
morning. The funeral arrangements
have not been completed, but it IS
probable that the funeral will be held
Monday.
Mr. Sale, with his son, Edward
Sale, aged %, drove to Topeka from
his farm on the morning of September
Fl with a load of farm produce, con-
sisting of watermelons. apples and
cabbage. While driving past the cor
ner of Seventh and Madison streets, d
singletree fell and frightened one Of
the horses. The team began to run,
and Mr.. Sale, who was driving, could
not control the frightened horses. He
attempted to head them toward
telephone pole, which would have
stopped the team without wrecking
the wagon. He was frustrated in this
by a woman in a buggy who was driv-
ing on that side of the street. To
save the woman at any cost, Mr. Sale
turned the team squarely into the
curb stone, wrecking the wagon and
overturning it upon himself and son,
The woman in the buggy escaped any
injury, but Mr.. Sale was pulled from
beneath the heavy wagon with a frac-
tured thigh and other injuries. The
son, Edward Sale, was injured in
ternally, and is still in the hospital.
Mr.. Sale was 68 years of age, and
the injuries, which were not consid-
cred fatal by the physicians attending
him, caused his death.

HRHAl HE HAS FOUND IT
City Attorney Dreaming Proposes to
Expose Alderman Holiday Again.

City Attorney T. G. Dreaming says that
one Of Councilman c. K Holidays
schemes for securing political advance
ment has been laid bare to the glaring
sunlight. That It will be exposed to
the delectation of the public at the
council meeting Monday evening.
though Mr.. Dreaming is not the au-
thor of the investigation into Mr.. Holh-
days system of securing q. political fol-
lowing, still ne says he has been bid
den to draw up a resolution which con-
Ialns the gist Of the situation. He says
lI IS something like this; When Mr..
Holiday was playing for the votes of
the Second ward to secure the ermine
robes of alderman, he is alleged to
nave promised the members of a family
who live on East Seventh street the
use of CERTAIN Of the city property
which surrounds the city hall. A GER
tain amount was to be given Cor park
purposes in exchange, it is alleged, for
political services which were to be eX-
pended in his behalf. That c. K. Holli-
dag was successful in securing the
honOrs and emoIuments of an alderman
has been paid it is asserted by the city
attorney who secures his information
from one o. the councilmen, is also a
self evident fact. It is claimed that
the city has had u feet of its ground
fenced in. To make sure of the con-
tention the city attorney went over the
deeds to the property at the city hall.
The city engineer viii be instructed to
measure the ground and establish be
yond DeradYenture exactly how much
Of the ground has been appropriated.
Then when this is discovered the fence
will PROBABLY be moved back to where
It belongs.
That seems to show the way c. K.
Holiday pays his political debts" said
F. G. Dreaming.
A full investigation will be made of
all the city's property. If any fences
have been built on them and ground
appropriated by private parties. the
fences viii be removed. Since the de-
cision OF Judge Danna in the district
court Wednesday in the Meade case the
city does not want to chance losing any
of it's property the way Mrs. J. M.
Meade lost possession of hers.

Henry Allen was not found in the

SAD SEQUEL TO SILLY JOKE.

and one of the hands he lightly attached to
the body by means of gum, and placed 1t In

detached itself from the limb and remained
in her grasp.
With a cry of terror Madame Lelouse let
the hand drop to the ground and flung her
arms around the figures neck, when the
head also became detached and rolled down
upon the floor.
The terror-stricken woman, uttering
piercing shrieks, ran madly down the stairs

When the police arrived it was found that
she had become raving mad. Later she

RUSSIAN MUSICAL PRODIGY.
Mastered Violin at the Age of Six
Years.

Special Correspondence of The Sunday Star.
LONDON, April 8, 1905
The infant musical prodigy is with us
again-this time in the person of Mscha
EIman, little Russian violinfst
A student under Professor Fidelman, at
the Imperial School of Music at Odessa,
the youngster at the age of six had so far
mastered his instrument that Saraste, who
heard him play, predicted that if Elman
studied hard he would take London by
storm within few years, and his first ap-
pearance at Queens Hall certainly bore
out the prediction.
Critics foresee brilliant future for the
young Russian, who is now nearly thirteen
years of age.
He has already performed with great
success in Berlin, and has been invited
by M. Collonne to come to Paris and play
at one of his concerts.
1t is said that Eman was inspired to
come to London after having recently
heard Vecsey play at a concert at st. Pc
tersburg. He listened with great admir-
alton, but after the concert he said: Il
will go to London now, and play better
than that
Elman has already composed a few small
morsels. His last composition Is SO diff
cult that he admits his inability to play
it himself.
