SHOTS FIRED AT

OF DR.. LENTZ ON SIXTH
STREET.

A burglar attempted to enter the
home of DR.. J. ]. Lentz on Sixth street
Tuesday night, but was discovered and
frightened away before gaining an
entrance.
The family were aroused by hear.
ing some one crawling up the porch
roof at the rear. AS they had been
disturbed by burglars or providers a
few nights before, they telephoned at
once for an officer. officer Barker
came at once and by the time he
reached the scene the man was on top
of the roof proper making his way
across to where he could enter the
upstairs by a front window.
Frank Gurley, who boards at the
house, fired on the roof, and the man
dropped on the front porch roof and
jumped from there to the ground. OF.
ficers Barker and Gurley gave chase
and the latter fired three other shots
at the man, none of which apparently
took effect. He was seen to run into
the back yard OF A. w. Brant and then
to the yard of e. r. Farrell, and from
there escaped into an alley. While
close view was not had of the man,

ARENA ENTRES WERE NUMEROUS

Society night at the Horse Show
was an the name indicates and it was
indeed ore Of the most pleasant Of AL
the horse show events Society was
ont in force, many of the ladies in
bau dresses, ready for the fair hop,
which was follow. and the gentle
men in evening attire.
The boxes and grand stand We're
yell-flled, the arena had been sprink-
led and there was no dust, the music
showed some improvement, the class
es we're of high order and the weather
was not too warm, so there was moth
ing to prevent delightful evening
and all present seemed to take full
advantage of the occasion. There
was much visiting to and fro in the
boxes. the gay chatter of the onlook-
ers. the applause for some favorite or
for the well-placed ribbons all con-
tributed to the pleasure of the even
ing.
More interest was taken in the
arena shows than ever before and 1t
appeared that the people are becoming
better acquainted with the entries and
are better able to distinguish the va
ious classy horses and their owners
and consequently take more pleasure
in watching the efforts to win the
prizes.
One of the most enjoyable features
of the evening was the clever work
of the two high school horses, Hot
Stuff and Forest Chimes, Hot Stuff
is owned by Jack Pollard Of Eminence,
Ky. and is one of the cleverest per-
formers ever shown in this ring, while
Forest Chimes magnificent black is
the property of Lewis Schilenger, OF
Birmingham, Ala, but is being trained
by D. e. Holman, of that city. The
two were hitched double for the first
time last night and it was remarkable
with what precision they performed
their acts and kept perfect time with
the music. Hot Stuff is in fine train
ing and is under perfect control of
his manager, but Forest Chimes has
only been in high school for a short
period and showed wonderful aptness
at learning new tricks. His owner
made him watch Hot Stuff perform

booth a. GO.

CHICAGO, Sept 1.-THE fish and oys-
ter firm of A.. Booth & Co. was placed
in the hands Of a receiver by Judge
Rethea in the federal district court yester-
dav. The Linen Thread company OF New
York and Alfred f. Booth Of Baltimore
were the complainants named in the pc
tttion, and on their plea w, J. Chalmers,
president of the Commercial National De
posits was appointed receiver. His bonds
were fixed at $4,000 and he was placed
in charge of the firms affairs at once.
The petition asserts that the liabilities
of the company are IS, 500, 600 and places
the assets at $4,000, 900. The troubles OF
the company are alleged to be due in
a large measure to an inadequaoy of cap
ltal. coupled with the financial depression
Of last fall. The bill asserts that the
company is unable TO meet its obliga-
sions.
Coincident with the receiyership pro-
ceedings an attachment for the funds OF
the company was secured today by an
attorney representing the GiraTd National
bank OF Philadelphia on a claim for $3s,-

obtained from the bank by means of
fraudulent misrepresentation. In a state

AUTO COLLISION IS FATAL
Mrs. Samuel Woodward Has Frac-
tured Skull and Cannot Survive.
SEVERAL OTHERS ARE INJURED
Machine Driven by r. 5. Everest, in
Frying 90 Pass, strikes Two Bug
Rtes and Occupants Are
All Thrown out.

An automobile accident occurred last
night which likely will prove fatal to
Mrs. Samuel Woodward, 1908 Avenue L,
and In which several others were more or
less bruised. The accident happened at
Twenty-first street and Broadway.
Mrs. Pearl Wright, Sixth avenue and
Twenty-seventh street, with her A.
months-old baby, was driving west on
Broadway. Samuel Woodward, wife and
i-month-old baby were also driving west
when Woodward started to pass the
Wright rig. Just at this time an au-
tomobile owned and being driven by
Frank s. Everest was coming west on
Broadway. He attempted to pass be-
tween the two buggies, with the result
that the automobile collided with both of
them.
Both buggies were overturned and the
occupants thrown out. The automobile
passed over the body Of Wright, but for
tunately he was not dangerously hurt.
Mrs. Wright and Mr.. Woodward were
severely bruised, but It is not thought
their injuries are serious. The two babies
were not injured in the least.
Mrs. Woodward was the most seriously
injured. Her skull was fractured by the
concussion and it is not thought she can
live until morning.
All the injured were taken to the Ed
mundson Memorial hospital where they
are being cared for.
Everest and the three men who were
with him in the automobile were takcn
to The police station, but after securing
the names of the members of the party

FARMERS HELP. rHE AUDITORIUM
Plan TO Use II for n stock Sales Pa
wilton and Market House.


The fund for the proposed auditorium
and stock sales building has now passed
the $4,000 mark. The two committees
which canvassed the country adjacent to
thu city Wednesday secured subscriptions
aggregating over $4,000. The commit
tee, headed by Paul c. DeVoi, obtained
Si.45O, while that headed by DR.. II. b.
Jennings secured $1,000.
The committee in charge propose to
raise $4,000 as a starter and when this
amount is subscribed it is the intention
to go ahead with the details of the build
ing.
Architect f. e. Cox stated yesterday
that the plans for the building, with the
exception of a few minor details, were
practically complete. He was waiting, he
explained, for the building and grounds
committee to get together and decide upon
a few of the unsettled points before fin
isEing the plans. In order to get these
preliminaries settled a meeting of the
building and grounds committee has been
called Tor this evening at the rooms Of the
Commercial club,
The farmers in the territory adjacent
to Council Bluffs appear to be much en-
Unused over tho proposed building, which
will furnish them a. market for their pro-
duce and enable them to hold stock sales
right at home. Every man We talked
with said he felt sure that the auditorium
and stock sales pavilion was going to be
a sreEt thing for Council Bluffs" said
Mr.. DeNol. They all declared that they
were ready and willing to bring their
stock and produce to market here If the
city had the proper facilities to handle
them. I feel sure that we are now going
to have the proper place for them to show
and sell their goods in. When the build
ing is erected we will get a large number
OF farmers into Council Bluffs who here
tofore have been marketing their stuff
in Omaha or some other place. We should
