a fireman who was rescued from Il
burned paper warehouse in Roosevelt

been imRrisonetksa the debris fnr
many hours, is at the Hudson street
hospital today.
He was much weakened after his
terrible ordeal, but is not otherwise Sc
riously injured. Two comrades went
down with Zuffert when the ruins col
lapsed Sunday night. The body of one
Thomas Lehman, has been recovered.
The other man. Daniel Campbell. was
still in the ruins early today. There
is but little hope that he escaped death
as did Zuffert, but the rescuers are
working with renewed vigor to reach
his body on the slim chance that he
may yet be alive.

WILD GEESE ARE FLYING;
WEATHER MAN BALKED
Contrary Elements Break Up Com
bination With the Old In
habitant.

For a long time the weather man
has been VIGOROUSLY up against it.
Nearly everything he has tried to do
has panned out wrong. During the
summer rains he attempted to bring
to the relief of the crops got side
tracked and sunny weather that he
ordered to dry the hay was missent.
This winter he has conscientiously
tried to give us seasonable weather
but the old hoodoo has up TO the
present time been as Industrious as
ever. II was thought when the old in
habitant joined forces with the wealth
er pTognosticator yesterday and pre-
pared a section of cold wave with a
sailing of snow TO shove down upon
us during the night, that at last a win
ming combination had been struck.
But it seems not Yesterday after
noon a flock of wild geese were OBJ
served flying over the city and last
night there was more thunder and a
downpour that flooded the streets. But
the weather man is holding his ground
manfully. Colder tomorrow" he says.

der Dougherty many years, was in
dicted by the Dougherty grand jury,
for malfeasance in Office, but the in
dictment later was quashed. Bailey

to recover some mony from the bonds
men. having served on several bonds
during his term of Office and as an of
ficer of the Central National bank.
Wife and sons Reputed Wealthy.
After Dougherty was arrested he
turned over to the school board prop
erty which he estimated to be worth
$250,000. but which later turned out
to be worth less than 100000. Presi-
dent P. B. Miles, the new head of the
school board, has been active in fore
ing the prosecution and has employed
attorneys to look further into the rec
ords. These attorneys have unearthed
a large amount of additional property
Dougherty did not admit owning. Some
of this he had turned over to his two
sons, Ralph and Horace, and TO rela-
tives of his wife. 1t was the intention
of the board to show these facts at
this session of the court and then be-
gin action to recover the property.

he would at once send him back again
on other indictments which he could
bring on evidence in the possession of

this evidence makes further prosecu-
ton of Dougherty difficult if he should
regain his liberty.
Cannot Prosecute Family.
The destruction of the papers also
prevents the school board from taking
further action against members of
Dougherty's family, who are known to
have large amounts of money Action
to recover this money was to have
been started at this term of the circuit
court. 1t is now doubtful if they will
be able to prove their cases.
Though it is a year and a half since
Dougherty was convicted, the prose
cution of the school board to regain
the money which he stole has been
made vigorously. So bitter was pub
lie sentiment against the members of
the old school board that today there
are but two members of that board

MANL0VE, TAX FERRET,
WINS COURT DECISION
Effort to Enioin Extension in Mclean
County Cones to
Naught.

George H. Manlove, who several
years ago went over the county rec
Ords here and ferreted out taxable
property that had not been listed has
won a victory before the state SUI
preme court in the attempt made in
Mclean county to enjoin the exten-
sion of taxes. With this favorable
ruling he will be in position to go
ahead with his work in other counties
of the state
The case in point is that of John
Peirce VS.. r. L. Carlock. county clerk,
of Mclean county. The case was
tried in the circuit court at Blooming
ton and was on law points only. no
evidence being heard 1t was case
to enjoin the extension of the taxes
against the plaintiff and to declare
the assessment void. 1t involved the
point of the schedule or Offset which
is allowable, and was based on techni-
calities
Mr.. ManlOve was the attorney in
that case, and it was through his eff
forts and preparation of the case the
first decision in the circuit court was
won and which the supreme court
now affirms.

Peoria, Jan. S.-Not since the sensa-
tional arrest and confession of n. c..
Dougherty a year and a half ago has
Peoria had a greater startler than that
of the burglarizing of the safe of SUI
perintendent Smith of the city schools
and the stealing and destruction of
5000 pieces of script forged by Dough
erty while he held the Office which was
discovered yesterday. A variety of
sensational stories are current con-
corning the safe blowing. Within a
few days there will be. called in the
circuit court four suits against former
school treasurers and bondsmen of the
school board. That agents of some of
these bondsmen, who fear they will be
held for the Dougherty shortage, were
responsible for the safeblowing is one
of the theories held by States Attor-
ney Scholes.
