WHY SOLOMON MADE AWAY
County COmmisaiOner Runs When He
Sees Smallpox Victim Loaded
Into Wagon.

At a few minutes before 8 o'clock in the
afternoon Of Friday, April 6, 1907, tall
man was seen to come out OF the door IN
the south side OF the court house OF Doug
las county in the city of Omaha. The man
had smooth face and a pleasant look He
wore a long overcoat and a large hat.
few feet away and between the court
house and the jail a covered wagon was
standing. Two men were helping a third
man into the wagon. Tho tall man who
had emerged from the south door of the
court house booked for a moment at this
strange and unusual scene He buttoned
his overcoat and flecked a speck Of dust
from his gloves. Then no approached the
wagon into which the two men were
helping the third man. He stood there for
a moment His manner was calm. He
was not interested especially. He was
nonchalant He was cool. He asked a
question Of the two men helping the third
into the wagon Suddenly his manner
changed. He turned away. He ran down
the paved road leading to the street. He
ran swiftly.
What had he seenH What had he heard
The two men helping the third into the
wagon had pronounced only one word to
him. 1t was the word, smallpox.
The reader has no doubt, observed that
this story is written In the French style
after Dumas and Victor Hugo. That is a
style particularly adapted to the kind of
story It L. But the story is true. The tall
man who came out OF the court house was
County Commissioner sohomon. He saw
Jailors Jim Allan and George stryker as
sisting George Ford into the wagon to be
taken to the pest house. Ford was pro-
nounced 70 be suffering with smallpox.
Mr.. Solomon lost no time in getting away
from the possibllity Of oontagion.

INSULT ADDED TO INJURY
GresVy's Dog Goes Oyer and Stands on
Mayors Front Porch,
LORDS IT OVER REST OF CANNES
Fact II Notable Since Greevy Signed
Petition for Injunction Against
the DahImRn Mu1xIe
Proclamation.

A fresh bit Of humor has been injected
into the dog muEzling situation. M J..
Greevy, who signed the petition for the
restraining order granted Friday by Judge
Redick, lives across the street from Mayor
Dahlman. Friday afternoon the restrain
ing order was served on the mayor, who
was directed to suspend his muzzling proc
lamation until the hearing next Saturday.
Saturday morning Mr.. Greevy's dog, i'm
PEELED by some sort OF canine instinct, ran
across the road and sat on Mayor Dahl
mans front steps, which suggested adding
insult to injury. The Greevy dog seemed
TO take peculiar delight in sitting on the
mayors steps-he showed his teeth with
ghoulish glee when no one was looking
and kind OF lorded 1t over the other dogs
Of the neighborhood all day Saturday.
When the Greevy dog walked UP and
down the street Saturday morning the
other dogs OF the neighborhood would
stop look and listen" To see a dog that
had the temerity to walk boldly up to the
mayors front steps and place his body In
a reclining position thereon was no every
day sight, and the dogs seemed to appre-
ciate that The Greevy dog was the cyno-
sure for all canine and feline eyes Of his
neighborhood. There was not dog in that
district but would have followed the
Greevy dog into the very charcoal exc
cution bath at the city pound II neces-
sary, and there was not a cat that would
not have scratched her way into the Jaws

and laughed at some of its ooarseness. It
was notable, though that the applause
came from the back Of the house and from

persons with socialistic proclivites seemed
to have taken up quarters, The laughter
was mostly engendered by the fippant re-
marks of Frank Gardner in commenting
on or addressing his father, the Reverend

gendered for the most part by the plati-
tudinous outcry Of G. b. 9. against the
useless rich and the deserving poor who
have TO work for a living. Nearly all OF
these pearls Of thought fall from the chaste
lips OF Mrs Warren herself, who admits
that she almost tried working for a living.

yet in an early stage by her sister Liz, who
was a wise girl and who put her in the
way of doing much better. In fact, she

1t is easy to see that she cannot, for IL

Apart from its coarseness, the play Is
devoid Of interest. In a measure It holds

ing.
A verdict of guilty in the case CT
the State vs.. Peter B. Mounts,
charged with shooting off an arm of
Thorvald Emilson, near Ryder, was
returned in the district court at Mi
not.
The jury was out about two hours.
Mounts admitted that he shot Emil
son. but said that he did so in self
defense.
Mounts was placed under $4,000
bonds.
In carefully prepared statement,
explaining the law in the case, Judge
Goss this morning charged the jury
before whom the case of the State VS..
Peter B. Mounts, charged with maim-
ing Thorvaid Emilson, was tried.
The Judge asked the jury to weigh
the evidence in the case carefully. He
said that as matter of law, II the
testimony Of Mounts himself is true,
there is no question that Mounts shot
Emilson in the arm, and that If this
arm had to be amputated, the act con-
stituted manning.
The main question before the jury
was that of self-defense.If Mounts
had reason to believe that his life was
in danger, and that it was necessary
for him to shoot in order to defend
himself, the Judge said that this act

defense.

FINE HOSPITAL FOR BISMARCK.
Corner Stone Of New Structure Will
Re 1 aid


The Bismarck hospital and deacon
ess' home is being erected by the
German Lutheran association of Bis
marck. The basement is already
completed, and the ceremony for the
laying of the corner stone was held
a few days ago. The hospital will
have accommodation for about fifty
patients. The first floor is to be de.
voted to offices, reception and ex-
animation rooms, apartments for
nurses and chapel.
The second floor will be used al
most entirely by patients, many of
the rooms having private baths. Each
floor has ward beside the private
rooms. The operating roooms are on
the third floor. These will have tile
floors and wainscoting. There will be
a small amphitheater in each oper-
ating room. Sanitary plumbing,
adapted especially for hospital use,
will be used in these rooms. Besides
the operating rooms there will b a
sterilizing room, doctors dressing
room and a room for splints and ban
dages.
The kitchen and laundry are in a
separate wing at the back of the build
ing, also the boiler plant. The build
ing will be equipped with an elevator
enclosed in series of rooms, thus
isolating it from the hospital.
It is the intention to complete the
hospital as early as possible in the
spring. The cost will be close to $780,.
600.

RESIGNS LAND OFFICE JOB
M. H. Brennan Of Devils Lake Has
Forwarded Resignation to Wash

ington.
M. H. Brennan has forwarded to
President Roosevelt his resignation
as register of the land Office at Devils
Lake, and as soon as his successor
is appointed and the affairs of the Of
flee have been closed up, he will re-
tire to devote his entire attention to
his law practice. Judge Brennan was
appointed to the position few
months ago, without the solicitation
on the part of himself or his friends,
and about the first information he re.
ceived of the matter was contained
in a Washington dispatch to the press,
announcing his appointment. He has
administered the affairs of the office
with marked ability, his profound le-
gal ability giving his decisions in the
office the highest character, and they
have been taken as models of correct
Interpretation of the land laws by the
department at Washington. But the
Judge is a lawyer, and the conflicts
of the legal forum appeal more strong
ly to him than the details Of the land
office, and he Is anxious to get into
the harness again, his clientele in
sisting on retaining his services, even
when he had announced that he
would no longer give attention to the
law. In fact, the constant demand
for his legal services have had some
thing to do with his return to the
practice.
Mr.. Brennan's resignation will take
effect after the first of the year, and
who his successor will be is a mere
matter of conjecture.
