animal Master wanted to XIII Proves
Hero in an Emergency.
ONAWA, Ia, May 12.-(Speclal. Lowe
Palmer, living between Soldier and Ute,
has a mongrel dog that he has tried TO
give, away or chase away and to get rid
of decided to shoot it. A few days ago
Mr.. m 2-year-old child wandered
away from the house, the dog following.
AS the morning Northwestern train turned
the curve at Ridell's crossing the engineer
was Mortified to see a wee child sitting in
the center of the track. He reversed the
engine, but knew he could not stop it in
time to prevent an accident.
Just then the dog got busy. He wasn't
a thoroughbred, therefore he did not know
how to heroically grab the child by its dress
like a st. Bernard and carry it To safety,
but he nosed or rooted it off the track
just as the engine Numbered by and stood
wagging his tail at the heightened men
who looked down at him. Mr.. Palmer says
he has no dog to give away, but will feed
and tenderly care for the poor old mongrel
the rest of his days.

on April p Mrs. May Noble. proprietress
OF the Riverside hotel. on North Thirty
seventh street, pleaded guilty in the dis
trict court to two indictments charging her
with keeping a house Of illfame and with
maintaining a nuisance. the latter charge
being in connection with the unlawful sale
OF liquor. on the first charge she was
fined 500 and on the second count 1900,
making a total Of 500.
The fact that no effort on the part Of
the county authorities had apparently been
made to compel Mrs. Noble to pay this fine
has amused certain members of the West
Council Bluffs Improvement club. who had
insisted on the prosecution of the woman
and the closing of the resort. Announce
ment was made that Mrs. Noble and her
place were to be topics Of discussion at
the meeting OF the club last night. and
they were. The result is that another de-
mand will be made upon the authorities to
"abate the alleged Nuisance" Following
the announcement that the West Council
Bluffs Improvement club had again inter
ested itself in Mrs. Noble and her River
side hotel, the woman's attorney yesterday

district court the sum of $50. with instruc-
tons that it be applied on the $500 fine as
sessed against her.
When told of the payment of the 'in-
stallment' of $50 County Attorney Hess
stated that If the entire amount of the
fine vas not paid within a short time he
would have an execution issued and the
papers placed in the hands of the sheriff.
This means that if the fine is not forth
coming Mrs. Noble will be lodged in the
county bastile.
Regarding the complaints OF the mem
beers of the West Council Bluffs Improve
ment club concerning Mrs. Mobiles hotel,
the county attorney stated yesterday that
the grand jury would %reconvene next Mon
day, at which time all who so desired
could go before that body and give evidence
against the place.
The county attorney some time ago Sc
cured a permanent injunction against the
illegal sale of liquor at the Noble place
and he stated yesterday that he was pre-
pared to institute contempt proceedings
against the woman whenever evidence
should be produced to show violation of the
Injunction
The county attorney also called attention
to the fact that the new law providing for
injunctions against places of i'll repute will
go into effect on July 4. LAS soon as this
law goes into effect" said Mr.. Hess, lin
functions can be obtained against such
