Former Clerk of District Court Is De-
clared Responsible for "a Discrepancy
in Accounts, and County Commission
ers Are Ordered to Commence Action
Difference Over Contracts.

CORTLAND N. Dickey, formerly clerk
of the district court in Hennepin coun-
ty, will be held personally responsible
for shortage of about $1,000 which
the public examiner reports existed at
the time of Mr.. Dickey's retirement
a year ago last January.
Representatives. of the public exam
liner s office have spent several months
in the office of the clerk of the courts,
They have made thoro examination of
the office books and accounts kept dur
Dickey's administration. The report
of this examination has been completed
and has been served upon the county
commissioners, who will take the matter
up at their next meeting.
The report will not be made public
until passed upon by the commissioners,
but it is understood that the report
to the county, and that it orders the
commissioners to begin suit to collect
that amount. The debt is believed to
and collection of fees which, it is now

by one bank examiner.
Mr.. Dickey will contest the collec-
tion of the alleged shortage.
At the same time the report was
made to the board of county commits
sioners, the public examiner advised
the board that bids should be called
for in all eases. possible, instead OF
buying supplies in small lots Of less
than 500. It was also suggested that
no more contracts be awarded to Com
missioner Smith s relatives. In this
matter, however, w. c. Leary, attorney
for the county commissioners, advised
the board and the bank examiner that
he did not believe the law contem-
plated shutting off the relatives of pub
lie officials from doing county work
or furnishing county supplies. The mat

TAG THE DOG SO
He WONT GO MAD
OTHERWISE THE DOGCATCHER
WILL TRY TO GET HIM..
Police Superintendent Doyle Doubles
the Force of Official Pursuers of I'm
licensed Canine Wanderers in the
Hope that He May Curb the Rabies
Menace.

Seeing a menace in the more frequent
cases of rabies in Minneapolis animals,
Police Superintendent Doyle will double
his dogcatching force and from now on
there will be two crews constantly at
work picking up unlicensed dogs.
Scarcely a day passes that someone
is not attacked by dog supposed to
have rabies. Usually the dog is I'M
licensed and gets away, no one being
able to tell where he belongs. Some OF
the dogs picked up under the direction
Of Inspector Nels Nelson have shown
signs of the disease and were killed at
the pound and their bodies sent to the
health department.
Superintendent Doyle thinks that if
all the unlicensed dogs are put out of
the way the dangers will be somewhat
lessened and all of the regular officers
will help out by shutting up, all the
stray dogs they find on their beats.
Attempting to save his companion
from the fury of a rabid cat yester,
day afternoon, Holgcr Frederickson, II
years old, was himself bitten.
The F. ederickson boy was playing
near his home, 1T Seymour avenue
with several other children, when the
cat appeared. A dog was first attacked

SLAYER OF GRAIN IS
HELD TO GRAND JURY

Alexander McEwan, accused of the
murder Of Frank O. Grain in a resort
at PIT Eleventh avenue S was arraigned
in police court today, charged with man
slaughter. He waived examination
and was held to the grand jury in $4,000
bonds.
julius Hoffner, who accompanied
McEwan to the resort and who is the
husband of Amelia Mayors the pro-
prietor of the place, was dismissed on
the motion of the county attorney, rs
evidence is lacking to connect him with
the murder. Amelia Mayors, charged
with keeping a house of ill-fame, and
all the inmates were also dismissed.
Because of his family connections,
McEwan will not lack for means to
make strong defense. His father was
a prominent business man in Montreal
before his death. For the sake of the
prisoner mother and his sisters, he
will be seen thru his trouble.
McEwan was once lieutenant in
the British army and received the Vic
toria cross for service in Egypt. He
has been in trouble before in other
cities, but never served any long terms.
The remains Of Frank Grain were
sent to Grand Rapids, Wis, last night,
where the interment will be held.

FOR NERVOUS PEOPLE.
DR.. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS THE
BEST NERVE TONIC.
A Michigan Mother Preserved to Hss
Family by This Wonderful
Remedy

When the blood is impoverished the
nerves starve and neuralgia or something
more serious swiftly follows. Nervous
people are generally pale people. By
supplying through the blood those vital
elements that the nerves need, DR.. VIII
iams' Pink Pills for Pale People HAYS
performed those remarkable cures that
make it impossible for any nervous suf.
ferer to neglect them with justice to
himself. /
A recent case Is that of Mrs. Peter
Morrissette, Of No. SO Eleventh street,
Alpena, Mich, who writes as follows /.
"My trouble started with childbirth.
After one of my children was born had
kind of paralysis. I was very weak
and my mouth was little crooked. 7
was always tired and was so nervous
that l could not bear to hear dog bark
or a bell ring-even the little bird in its
cage would annoy me. Ny heart f1ut-
tered great deal and had dizzy spells.
was not able to be left alone.
"My doctor gave me different kinds Of
medicine, changing it several times.
When it was evident that he could not
help me he said he did not understand
my case This was three years ago and
was very much discouraged, when my
brother, who had taken DR. Williams
Pink Pills, recommended them to me. I
tried them and noticed change for the
better when I was taking the second box.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills cured me and 7
have been well ever since. now do all
my own homework, sewing and wash
ing for seven of us. 1 have recommended
the pills to number of people and am
very glad to make this statement" a
The fact that DR.. Williams Pink Pills
cured this stubborn case. as well as others
more severe, leaves no doubt that they
will cure lesser troubles arising from dis
ordered nerves and lack of nerve force
They have also cured diseases caused by
impure or impoverished blood such as
rheumatism, anmmia and after-effects
of the grip.
All druggists sell Dr. Williams Pink
Pills or the remedy will be mailed, post
paid, on receipt of price, 80 cents per
box, six boxes for $3.50, by the Dr. Will

DEEPHAVEN COUNCIL
APPEALS TO THE COURT

The Minneapolis & Suburban Rail-
way company is up against a PROPOSE
ton that calls for the securing Of a
franchise from village council, all ne
gotiations must be conducted along
lines Of strict diplomacy.
At the regular meeting Of the Deep
haven village council last night the
members Of the council, H. J. Burton,
Lpcian Swift, Horace M. Hill, Russell
NJ. Bennett and Arthur, unanimously
voted to instruct their counsel, John
Lind, to take steps to secure an order
Of the courts, restraining the street rail
way company from using or crossing
any Of the streets Of the village until
it has first secured a franchise.
The company cannot reach the lake
without crossing several streets and by
means Of the order it is hoped that all
further operations will be effectively
blocked until all disputed points can
be adjusted. When franchise is
granted it will be as the council wishes,
and there will be no trolley line along
the shore Of the lake as proposed.
The meeting last night was ad-
iourned until Friday evening, when
further steps will be discussed.
