HINT At THEFT
IN BLIND PIC
VUSIcRS RELATIVES SAY CASH
is MISSING
Tale Of Lost Money Regarded as :
Scheme to Cast Reflection on
Policemen Who Did
Their Duty

Relatives and friends of John Vusiclx,
the Slavonian who was killed in a
blind pig" of which he was the alleged
proprietor, at 652 San Fernando street,
claim that $500 that vusicls had on his
person or premises Immediately before
the shooting is missing.
These relatives and friends allege that
the money was stolen, but will make no
allegation against any particular per-
son.
The case has already been placed in
the hands of a private detective agency
for investigation, it Is stated, and q
lawyer has been engaged to fight the
case in court in event q suspect is
found.
In a subtle way Vusick's relatives
have directed suspicion toward several
policemen and bystanders who were on
the scene of the killing.
Room Was Guarded
1t is believed at police headquarters
that this allegation is simply ruse
being played by Vusick's champions as
a means of revenge against Patrolmen
Ammon and Purcell, who were directly
responsible for the death of Vusick.
1t has not yet been definitely proved
that Vusick had the stated sum of
money in his possession at the time
he was killed. but If such proof is made
1t will require very clever work on
the part of the detectives to ferret out
the mystery.
Except for very few moments fol-
lowing the shooting, when Ammon and
Purcell were alone with Vusick and
when Ammon was left alone while Pur-
cell went to telephone to the central
station, the room in which Vusick' S
body lay was we'll guarded with police
and detectives. In view of this fact
it would have been almost impossible
for any of the Mexicans and Slavs in
the crowd of onlookers to have taken
the money.
The first man to enter the room OF
the tragedy except the policemen who
committed the shooting was a news
paper reporter, but he was followed by
policemen, and while he was in the
room was under close surveillance.
Until more tangible evidence is pro-
duced that the money was really stolen
the police are inclined to hold the belief
that the tale of .he theft told by the
relatives and friends of Vusick is moth
ing more than trumped up story tc
cast a reflection upon Patrolmen Am
mon and Purcell.
AS for the statement made by c.
Vusick, nephew of John Vusick. that
the revolver his uncle drew on the
officers was an old rusty one that was
worthless and had only been used as ar
ice pick, the police officials say thi:
does not change the fact that thu
patrolmen thought it was in order, ant
that they were in terror of their live'
when they shot Vusicl1.
IA man cannot wait to see whethe
gun will kill before he tries to pro
tect himself" seems to be the genera
opinion expressed.

GIRL WANTED-At City Hotel.

A deplorable tragedy occurred
near Prescott last Friday resulting
in the death of one man, the severe
injury of two others and the arrest
of over twenty men who must stand
trial for murder and the trouble
was all over the trifling matter of
shooting a quail. A number of Ital-
ian workmen on the Burlington rail-
road were accused of shooting quail
and Deputy Sheriff Hammel and
Marshal Isaacs of Prescott went
out to arrest them. The Ital-
ians resisted arrest and Isaacs was
killed, Hammel'severly wounded and
one of the Italians wounded by q
shot from the officers. Twenty
three of the twenty-six Italians who
were in the crowd at the time of the
tragedy have been arrested and are
in the jail at Ellsworth. Three o.
the men were arrested here by con
! stable H. w. Morrow.

Adjourned School Meeting.

The adjourned annual meeting of
the school district was called to or
der in the high school room at 8
o'clock Monday evening by E. E.
Clough, chairman. In the absence
of the clerk Prof. ]. w. T. Ames
was elected secretary of the meet
ing. The meeting had been ad-
iourned to consider manual train
ing. 1t reconsidered the motion of
the previous session whereby the
board was authorized to introduce
manual training, tabled the resolu-
ton, and appointed committee
consisting of ]. w. T. Ames, G. r.
Taggart and Miss Caroline Hender-
son to investigate the whole matter
of manual training and report at
the next meeting. 1t listened to a
pleasing talk on work in manual
training by Supt. Porter of Hast
ings. 1t voted to levy tax of $3.50
on the district to put fire escapes
on the building. 1t heard the re-
port of the committee appointed to
audit the treasurer'S books. The
committee reported the treasurer S
books, accounts and vouchers in
excellent shape, showing all mon
eys of the district accurately ac-
counted for. 1t commended the
condition of the school house and
other property, but it reported the
books. records and vouchers of the
clerks office in bad shape, some of
the stub order books and vouchers
being apparently lost. 1t reported
an evidence of loose business meth
DDS on the part of the clerk and
board and made some recommends
tions toward better business meth
DDS, which were approved by the
meeting.
Since the school meeting of Mon
day evening the missing stub books
referred to in the report have been
found. 1t is we'll known that the
district clerk has been sick much
of the time since last fall, that he
had the assessing of the city to do
in May and June and the school
census to take lately which may be
| advanced in excuse for the minutes
of the board meetings not being
written up and the orders recorded.
The clerk had recently moved his
Office resulting in some confusion
and disarrangement of papers as
would naturally follow. With some
assistance the last few days the
clerk has been able to bring his
books up to date.

Rt. Rev. Father. The Episcopal
Church has had great and en-
couraging gain in the last nine
months; in addition to the great in
crease in congregation, there have
been nearly thirty added to the
church. This is in keeping with
the fact that the American Catholic
Church ii. e. Episcopal) is rapidly
gaining ground in ali the larger cit

fact that she is by far the largest
church in the Eastern portion of
the country. Besides the many
thousand converts from the descent
ing bodies there have been in the
last thirty years about sixteen hun
dred Protestant preachers who
have asked admittance into her
ranks for Holy Orders. One
