SUNDAY CASES
ON TOMORROW

A day for trying the cases of VIC
lating the Sunday closing law of
the state, brought by Main av.
clothiers against Harry Hayward,
Chas Muehlman, George Blakeslee,
George Dreher Clarke Walker,
theater managers, will be set by
Justice Hinkle tomorrow. The
date for hearing the cases will
probably be Monday morning.
1t is understood each defendant
will demand separate jury trial
and if this is the case the demand
will be granted as under the state
law the justice has not the right
to refuse. The manner in which
justice juries are drawn here is
not generally known. The justice
selects 10 names at random, then
passes the list to the attorneys.
Each side alternately strikes out
six, which leaves six. Subpoenas
are then issued and they are com
PEELED to serve without further
question. They draw 81 a day and
10 cents mile. Two miles is
conceded to each, which makes
their daily fee $1.2O.
The city Sunday closing cases
will be begun tom orrow. These in
clude warrants issued under the
ordinance.

LINCOLN, Neb., March 26.-
VIM. Jennings Bryan has been Wis

Rest to Mr.. Bryan is rest for his

Mr.. Bryan a busy man.

BULLET THROUGH RESI-

Charles Berger driver for the
Inland laundry, went to a resi-
dence at E130t Carlyle st. about
8 o'clock last night to get some
laundry and while there announced
he was going to kill himself. Then
he pulled a gun and shot through
window. TIE occupants of the
house ran out and Dan McCloyd
telephoned for the police.
Before Detective Miles reached
the scene Berger had left. He was
caught on the streets about mid
night and charged with firing re-
volver within the city limits. He
had been drinking.
This is another instance of the
gun-packing microbe now infect

he refilled the box carefully from the

4 GREAT French writer has said
~ the only way to cure the ills of
humanity was by the application
