A very bad accident happened at
the Elmer Morris home a few days ago.
Their children, Irene and Walter. aged
5 and 3. were out playing and went into
a. pasture where there were some
horses. The little boy said they were
trying to catch the horses when one Of
them reared up and struck the little
girl on the head, making one wound
near the temple and another near the
center of the forehead. The latter was
about two inches long and crushed the
skull, rendering her unconscious. A
piece of the skull about as large as a
half dollar was removed by surgeons

ness as soon as the pressure was re-
moved from the brain ana is getting

Like the pupils Of the Third ward
school of the slums of New York City,
as told by Mrs. Kelly in her book, 1.-THE
! Little Citizens" the pupils Of the eighth
grade of the Grant Park school have
circulated a. petition of remonstrance
against Lloyd Roberts, banker at
Abel, marrying their teacher, Miss
Mary Riser. If an order Of court could
restrain Mr.. Roberts from marrying
their teacher on May II, six weeks be-
fore the close of the regular school
year, they would gladly go to law, so
devoted are these pupils to their teach
er. The petition which was circulated
among the pupils and teachers was also
signed by Superintendent w. o. Rid
dell and school patrons. In this serio-

The Reese Fuel Company, who have
been operating drill on land southeast
of their shaft, report the finding of a
vein Of excellent coal three feet ten
inches in thickness. The drill is still
in operation and a number of holes
will be put down in the surrounding
country. The vein of coal found is the
same as that being worked by the
Scandal company and that will soon be
worked by the Phillips company. The
Reese company already have their
shaft down to the coal and all the
hoisting machinery installed, but the
plant has been standing idle for sew
eral months. Capitalists agreed some
time ago to furnish the necessary funds
to operate the mine on large scale
if the new drillings were satisfactory.
The Reese brothers have all the time
declared that coal in abundance ex-
listed there and they now have proved
It.

One cfYounssters Finally Exposes the
Graft-Boys Wore Put Thru Regular
Course of Training for Nefarious
Work-Tausht Various Tricks to OBJ

Sioux City, May 3.-A tale that riv-
ais the description of the beggars of
Paris in Victor Hugo's. LES Miser-
ables' and recalls t'agin and his boys
in "Oliver Twist was revealed in po-
lice court yesterday when NJ. j. Smith
and his wife We're arraigned on the
charge of vagrancy.
Two small boys, Fay Dunkelberger,
aged IA, and Oscar Pohl aged 16, the
latter of Chicago, were used by Smith
in an alleged nefarious scheme to de-
fraud sympathetic public. Each boy
carried letter as follows:
TO whom it may concern: This
will introduce an orphan boy. who is
trying to help an invalid sister and
care for a baby brother. Please help
him by buying his clothes cleanser
and you will be rewarded in the here
after.
Signed, A. Christian"
Smith Got the Swag.
The little fellows say they were
sent to various towns turnout South
Dakota and forced 60 turn in their
receipts each evening to Smith. The
latter's arrest was brought about by
the act of the Dunkelberger lad in try
ing to run away. Leaving Smith at
Tabor, S. D., he started for Sioux City,
but Smith telephoned to Yankton and
had the boy taken from the train.
When arrested the youngster exposed
the whole scheme and the Yankton Of
fcials communicated with Chief Rich
ard, who asked that the boy be sent
here. Smith followed Sunday and was
arrested at his home.
Instructed in Graft.
According to young Dunkelberg's
story, Smith kept him at the Jones
street house for three weeks before
starting on the road showing him how
to short change the unsuspecting and
also how to shake dice, running in the
loaded dice whenever Smith had the
throw. Pohl's version of the affair is
repetition Of the others story. He
tells how Smith taught them various
tricks, running a regular school of in
struction in grating before starting
for the rural districts and gave allur-
ing promises of reward for their work
later on.
Smith was formerly proprietor of a
saloon here.
In the police court his wife secured
continuance until today.

TREASURER FURAY LATEST TO
GET AFTER WARRANT SHARKS
Asks County Commissioner tn Put
an End to Drawing of Pay
in Advance.

Frank A. Furay, in the interests Of his
office and of the financial welfare Of the
city hall and court house clerks, is ask
ing the Board Of County Commissioner
to take another fall out of the fee-shhvers.
1t appears that assigning salaries to war
rant-scalpers a month or two ahead Of
time due, has become a regular practice
of city and county clerks, who have been
spending their money before it was earned.
So in the interest OF thrift and to save his
office much trouble Mr.. Furay would like
the county board TO rave the practice put
to a stop In some way. Members OF the
Board OF County Commissioner say they
viii forbid clerks to discount salary clalms
ahead of time on pain OF dismissal.
Meanwhile the fee-shavinB business has
about come TO an end in the court house.
Jurymen and witnesses have been learn
ing that the clerk OF the district court
win cash their warrants at once. so hat
no motive remains for parting with war
rants-at a d~lscount-to brokers
