DOGS HAVE DAY
in POLICE COURT
CATTLEMAN Is ACCUSED BY
OWNERS OF CANNES
Preliminary Examination of John Cut:
birth Is Begun Before Justice
Rose - Big Crowd in
Attendance

Yesterday was dog day in Justice
Roses court and everybody who ever
lost a dog by poisoning was on hand 10
hear the preliminary examination of
John Cutbirth, a retired cattleman, liv-
ing at 1928 West Thirty-first street,
charged with putting out poison with
the intent that it should be eaten by
domestic animals Persons living in
the neighborhood at Thirty-irst, be-
tween Main street and Grand avenue,
are greatly interested in the case and
the court room was filled.
Cutbirths arrest was due to the eff
forts of his neighbors, who. after losing
valuable dogs that died from eating
poisoned meat, began to make investt-
cations and later appeared at the dep
uty district attorneys office and Sc
cured a complaint against the cattle
man, accusing him of having placed
the poisoned meat where the dogs
could get it.
The first witness called was Mrs.
Frederick J. Holmes of 245 West Thir-
ty-first street She testified that on the
morning of October % she was standing
at her bedroom window and saw Cut
birth coming along the street. He
stopped at telephone pole in front of
the home of Mrs. Walter Briscoe, three
doors east OF t0e nome OF In6 Wllu6S5.
He reached in his coat pocket, took out
something and dropped it in the grass,
then took his cane and moved the
grass over the article he had dropped
After doing this the witness said that
Cutbirth walked across the street and
stepped behind a telephone pole. The
witness then went to the place where
Cutbirth had dropped something. She
moved the grass and found a piece of
liver. The meat was found to contain
poison.
Mrs. Holmes was closely cross ex-
amined by Attorney LeCompte Davis
for the defense and much amusement
was created by the retorts of the witness
to some of the questions put to her
by the attorney. The defense attempt
ed to show that Mrs. Holmes was in
terested in the case in hopes of get
ting a reward. She was excused when
the morning session was adjourned.
Court was resumed at 2 o'clock in
the afternoon and several witnesses
who had lost dogs by poison testified.
The city chemist testified as to the
result of his analysis of piece of meat
found in the section where several dogs
were poisoned, and stated that he
found poison imbedded in the meat.
The witnesses underwent an exhaust
i've cross examination by Attorney

BETHLEHEM MISSION
TO TEACH RUSSIANS
Plan Is Formulated to Have Them
Attend School Each Evening at
Hours Convenient TO
Their Labors

Persons whose sympathies are touched
by the struggles of the lowly must feel
a great pity for the little Russian girls
who live down in the Eighth ward near
Bethlehem Institute. They have no
childhood, these little drudges While
American girls their age are going to
school, taking music lessons, playing
and romping they must work, work,
work.
They do not look strong, but they
have to work until their hands blister.
Faithful little slaves! From to 10
years old they are the housekeepers,
having to take care of the babies while
the mothers and fathers go out to
work. From 10 to IA years old, the
must begin to earn money themselves,
and at about ID years old their parents
compel them to marry Thus they be-
gin to assume the heavier burdens Of
life.
That tells about the whole story of
Russian girlhood of this colony as the
resident workers have seen 1t during
the few years it has been in the Eighth
ward.
1t is the aim of Bethlehem to give
the little folk before they are too old to
learn, an education, in the only time
they have to study-from to o'clock
each night. Most of them cannot read
or write their own language, and their
parents are as ignorant. Mrs. Martha
Taylor, the present teacher, who has
been very successful in working with
Russians, makes it point to have the
girls sing in school, They like it, and
il keeps them Interested
The first batch of Bethlehem stars
has been received and the work of
tying and putting up i'm bundles of ter
will keep everybody busy for several
days. Each one is simply inscribed
"Bethelehem,' y and, if there is anything
in name. that one word is expected to
prove a silver magnet on Star" day,

park with her maid and dog, stirring
up further emulation between the con-
testants.
Captain Wild had the first advan-
tage, for he sent the countess an in
vitation to be his guest on the first
twelve hours of the journey, having
read her statement that America had
nothing so picturesque to offer as the
delights of her mountain home in
Mexico. But Captain Wild calamity
introduced the countess to his rival,
and Captain Mueller took the second
trick. Born in Bueno1 Ayres and on
speaking terms with all the world,
a resident alike of New York, Ber-
lin, Paris and Los Angeles, Captain
Mueller and the Countess gaily chat
ted in French, Spanish anc German,
much to her delight. Cap Wild is
at home in Chicagoese and Greek, and
there he stops. so he stood by and
nervously chewed several feet of
trail rope.
His turn soon came when the
countess politely asked, through her
escort, Assistant Manager Reichl of
the Hotel Alexandria, if Captain Wild
would not show her the basket, rip
cord, concentrating ring. and other
paraphernalia scattered about. Cap
tain Wild would, gladly, and as he did
so he sprang a bon mot which he had
digested from the strands of trail
rope he had chewed to enable him
to withhold a burst of stocl1yards
language.
1--WE must certainly be careful of
this beautiful dog should you honor
us by taking the trip" said he, ''for
if he falls overheard it's not likely
that we can stop the ship to go back
for him."
The countess laughed, and with ev-
cry laugh comes greater determine

aeronauts, each to outstrip the other.
IT win go, Captain Wild. IL there

CITY OFFERED ANIMALS AT
PRACTICALLY ANY PRICE
Agent of Sells-FIoto Shows Says He
viii Sell the Lot for $4,000,
to Be Paid at Con-
venience

What appears on the face of it to
be practically almost a gift to the
city was a proposition submitted to
the park commission yesterday by
Frank Tamen of Denver, represent
ing the Sells-Flo shows.
Some time ago the circus offered to
sell the city a number of animals
for the Eastlake park zoo. Among
them were lion, a tiger, and deer of
different varieties. The price asked
by the circus was $2550 The city
picked out a number of animals and
agreed to pay $1375 for those selected
The circus wanted to sell all or none
but the park commission did not feel
able to buy them all.
Yesterday Mr.. Tamen told the COM
mission the circus would sell all the
animals first stipulated for $4,000.
And we don't care whether we get
our money now or not, said Mr..
Tamen. 'In fact we wouldn't be
bothered very much if we never re-
ceiveds either the animals or the
money"
AS this looked like a most generous
offer, Commissioners Humphreys and
Rushton were empowered to act.
