District Court Spent Many
Hours on Kluke Case
Only to Find Indictment Had
Not Been Sworn To.
WAS AN OVERSIGHT.
County Attorney Fad Omitted
Necessary Formally
And Judge Dana Adjourned
Case to December Term.

The feature of the September term
of the district court is past. 1t oc-
Cured last evening as a ludicrous sit
uation and the joke appears to be on
County Attorney Schenck. After a
whole day spent in the examination
of a score of witnesses, Judge A. w.
Dana in preparing his instructions to
the jury discovered that the informa-
ton papers had not been signed and
sworn to by the county attorney.
CONSERVATION first fell over the
hard working attorneys, the judge,
and the grilled witnesses, then the
court room crowd broke out into a
laugh in which the court was com
case on trial, the Kluke case, had been
handled by the entire force of the
county attorneys office, j. S. En-
sminger, attorney for the defendant,
and Judge Dana had casually glanced
over them in calling the case.
The case was brought from the
court of Topeka. 1t is the case of the
state against John Kluke charged
with setting a vicious dog on Henry
Moseley. Moseley with other boys
Rickenbacher park which invited ev-
erybody to enter and look around.
John Kluke, farmer living close,
protested with the boys claiming they
he had control and ordered them off.
They did not comply with the request.
He then set his dog on them. Moseley
was severely bitten about the legs and
on the side
1t is the custom of the county at
torney to take the papers from the
court of Topeka over to his office in
the Columbian building and there
frame his information for the clerk
of the district court after the prelim-
mary hearing has been held. When
the papers for this particular case
came to the district court the infor-
nation had been folded inside the
files, the county attorney did not ap-
pear to sign or swear to it. so Clerk
Thomas, not seeing any papers on the
outside of the file folder filed the case
away without any record of the in
formation papers.
In just that shape the case went
before the judge yesterday morning.
The case wore on with the examina-
ton of witnesses until noon when the
jurors were excused to return at 1870
to again take up the testimony. The
continuation grew oppressive after
the recess but held on until after
O'Clock. The attorneys had finished
with the witnesses and were prepa'
ing their arguments. Judge Dana took
up the papers to write his instructions
to the jury, then the crash came.
The case was continued until the
January term.

City nine years ago. For the past
seven years his wife has been on the
stage with him, and together they
make a great team. A little Spitz
appears in the act and makes a de-
cided hit. The two Brownies are
making the big hit of the week at the
Novelty and get a hand at every per-
Torrance.
The Vetter Brothers.
Sixteen and seventeen are their stage
ages and Harold and Vivian their
stage names but the Vetter brothers,
the juvenile singers and clog dancers
whose act is one of the best features
of the Novelty bill this week, look, off
the stage, as if they might be, say ten
and twelve. and as if the other fellows
called them Jim and Bill. They are
bright, clever, manly little chaps;
handsome, and neatly dressed, and
have been dancing, as amateurs and
professionals, for about four years.
Their singing is not their boast and
pride for while the younger is pref
in vaudeville go. and thier songs help
out their act, dancing is their forte
and they are remarkably clever at it.
The Vetter brothers are Kansas City
boys and made their first bow in Miss
Georgia Browns productions of Pima
fore" a few years ago. Miss Brown
had a big ballet of little folks and was
trying to teach them the sailors dance
without much success Wnen VIVIAN
vetter held up his hand and said: IT
can do that, teacher" And he did,
incidentally teaching all the others
That won him home with Miss
Brown and she took him in her classes
as a free pupil and gave him some
training in elocution and dramatic
work.
However, the Vetter boys come hon
estlv by their talent for dancing, for
they come of a line of professional
peopIe as far back as the family rec
ords go. Their grandfather and great
grandfather were wooden shoe ana
clog dancers, and they have an uncle
who is A professional dancer. The
older boy danced more or less from
habvhood, but the younger one re-
mained Indifferent to his brothers
skill and couldn't be persuaded TO try
any of the steps until about TOUR years
ago when he suddenly began to take
an interest in dancing and to work out
with his brother. They began appear
ing at the Orpheum in Kansas CITY on
amateur nights and took four medals
in the amateur contests. Martin Len
mann, the manager OF the Orpheun,
takes a marked interest in them and
thew send him their press notices and
keen him informed as to their prog
ress.
Mrs. Vetter, the mother of the boys,
herself a pianist of considerable ability
who has taught the boys TO read music
and accompanies them in their rehear-
sails, travels with them. Il thought
they must have a grown-up to look
after them" somebody told Mrs Vet
ter Yesterday, "they are so neat ana
we'll groomed in their good looking
and stocks" "But 1 don't look after
them,'' said the little mother, proudly,
fthev look after me, and don't know
what I should do without them"

TAFT TO OPEN 1T.
President Will Touch a Golden Bell at
GunnisOn Tunnel.

Montrose, Col, Sept. 23.-Montrose
saw the busiest time of its existence
this morning. when preparations were
being made to receive President Taft
who was scheduled to attend the cere-
mony at the opening of the Gunnison
tunnel project this afternoon.
All morning special trains from ev-
cry town on the western slope of the
Rocky Mountains were arriving and the
streets were filed with bands, march
ing clubs and civic organizations. The
program which begins with the roar of
cannon on the arrival of the presiden-
tial train and closes with a blast of
fireworks at the conclusion of the GER
emony has been carefully rehearsed.
The president was to be presented
with the key to the city Immediately
upon his arrival. Governor Shafroth
and other notables will speak The
party will then proceed to the west
portal of the Gunnison tunnel where
the presidential touch on a golden bell
sends torrent of water through the
mountain side and over the arid IN
compaghre valley. This will be auto
natically flashed over the whole coun-
try. Upon his return to Montrose the
president will make his principal ad-
dress. The weather is ideal.

ALL IS VANITY.
Pretty Things in Dry Goods Store
Cause of Oakland Girls Undoing.

The lure of the lingerie and the
pretty footwear displayed in the show
windows of the big dry goods stores
has proven a Nemesis for an Oakland
miss and Alice Lyons is actually held
in the county jail.
Giving the name of Ella Bowman
at the Warren NJ. Crosby dry goods
store last evening, Miss Lyons pur-
chased a becoming creation from the
shirt waist line and fondly watched
the girl behind the counter send 1t up.
Next she proudly displayed her foot
at the shoe mans booth and held her
breath perhaps as she selected from
the showing. looking smilingly at the
fit in the plate mirror to her side and
walked away with pretty pair OF
kicks worth $3.50
To secure the purchases without
the coin she represented that she was
the servant of the house of Mrs. S.
G. Stewart and that she had her per-
mission to buy under her security.
But Manager w. w. Whitney later
found that the girl had given him
false information altogether. This
morning he swore out a complaint

charging her with obtaining goods un-
der false pretenses and Miss Lyons
was brought before Judge Simon of
the city court
Her bond was fixed at 500 but she
had no money and was told she would
have to go to the Jail.
But 1 want to go home and see
mama first" she walled
Your mother will have to come
and see you at the prison., she was
answered.
We'll, maybe mamma wouldn't
want to see me now" she spoke slow
ly. trying to keep back tears before
the men. And she did succeed in not
crying, but ran away hurriedIy with
the marshal of the court to hide her
self behind the cruel bars.

BOMB WAS HARMLESS.
There Was No Plot Connected With
the Find at Juarez.

Ell Paso, Tex, Sept. 23.-It de-
velops today that there was no plot
connected with the finding of a sup
posed bomb in Juarez, Mexico. last
night. The bomb" proves to be a
small pepper box three inches long, an
inch and a half in diameter with a
substance like paraf1ne poured over
the top. Even had it been explosive
it would have done no harm.
The police have arrested an Ameri-
can tramp, who had been sleeping on
the premises of Senior Arguelles and
who had been ordered away. The
tramp had made threats that Arguel-
les would be sorry. American Consul
Edwards examined the bomb" today
and found it harmless.

HIGH MARK FOR COTTON
Ghost of Patten Appears and Sends
1t Up $3.50.

New York. Sept. ga fresh wave
of bullish excitement fairly carried
away the cotton market with every
delivery on the list making new high
records for the season and with prices
scoring an advance from yesterday
close of from 80 to 40 points or over
$3.50 a bale. Business was the most
active in general so far this season
and heavy. buying by western houses,
particularly in view of the dull wheat
market, caused reports that Mr.. Pat
ten, the big Chicago operator was ad-
vising, his friends to transfer their
interests from wheat to cotton.
Southern and local bulls were also
big buyers and bullfsh enthusiasm
based upon reports of material dam
cent storm and a bullish census
statement of last years American
conSum ption, was further en-
couraged by reports that manufac-
turers had become frightened and
were calling cotton right and left for
future delivery.
December cotton here sold up to
1884 and May to $1S.42 during the
early afternoon, these prices showing
an advance of about 1 u cents pound,
from the low level of last week.
The price of approximately 13 n
cents reached today is the highest ever
paid for cotton at this season of the
year, when the south has still prac-
tically the entire crop to market, since
the civial war, and even supposing that
the crop falls as far short of last
years yield of 13,S00,0OO bales as the
bull leaders anticipate and amounts
to only 10,5OO,000 bales. at the present
price it would, be worth around $780,
100000, the largest amount ever
realized for single crop in the history
of the trade.

Warm Farewell for Miller.

Toxic, Sept. 23.-Ransford Miller,
newly appointed chief of the recently
created division of far eastern affairs
of the state department of the United
States, was given an informal but
warm farewell when he left this city
for Korea today. The affair was
spontaneous evidence of the popular
ity of foreigners among the Japanese.
Miller's service as Japanese secre-
tary and interpreter for the American
embassy here has given him a wide
acquaintance among people of all
classes.

When a man or woman
finds sickness coming on, such
as indigestion, weak eyes,
kidney trouble, etc., it is time
some attention is given to the
subject Of food and drink.
In practically all such cases
where coffee or tea is the
drink, one can obtain relief
by quitting the coffee or tea
and taking Postum, for he
leaves off a drink that is an
active producer Of disease
and takes in its place a pow
erful liquid food that con-
tains elements for rebuilding
the nerve centres which have
heretofore been torn down.
