many years and has won international
fame in his profession. He Is man OF
great energy and determination, and Is
likely to succeed in whatever he under
takes. He has behind him board of lead

DEATH-T OWNERS.
ESCAPE PROSECUTION
Lake Manawa Proprietors VIII

Omaha, Neb., July Tho censured
by two, .coroners' juries, it now seems
certain that the owners Of the Manawa
lake resort, where six persons lost their
lives on the night Of the Fourth, thru
the collapse of landing stage, will
escape criminal prosecution.
Thru a change in the channel Of the
Missouri river there has been some
question as to whether the place, where
the accident occurred, was in Iowa or
Nebraska. The Iowa coroner held an
inquest yesterday and a verdict was
returned in which it was found that
gross negligence was shown, not only
in the manner Of the construction of
the platform, but also in the lack of
sufficient attendants to protect the
crowd,
Today a similar verdict was returned
by q jury empaneled by the coroner
fcials have waived claim to jurisdiction
conceding that the accident occurred
in territory which belongs to the state
of Nebraska. After the verdict of the
Nebraska jury was returned the at
torney Of Harpy county announced he
would not sanction the issuance Of war
rants for the arrest of any one on
charges of criminal negligence for the
reason that no such crime existed in the
state Of Nebraska
The county attorney pointed out
that the only charge that could be pre-.
ferred was that of manslaughter, and
that to make this hold, it would be nee
essary to prove an intent to cause death
by leaving the platform in an unsafe
condition.
