Note:
The only question presented in this
case is whether the city IS liable for
food supplies furnished to quarantined
family on the ordev of the health
officer The city comedies it's liability
for medicines and medical attendance
but contends that it is not liable for
food supplies in the absence of any
committee tor the relief of the poor.
The plaintiff relies upon Sec. 1887,
r. L. 1906, as authorizing the board of
health to furnish such supplies. This
section. which was Sec. 7073, &. S.
1894, as amended. is limited to the
control and suppression of communi-
cable diseases and has no reference to
expenses for ordinary food supplies.
This was decided IN board of county
commissioners VS.. board of county
commissioners, 81. MINI. 240. Sec
1859, u. s. 1894, being Sec. Is, Oh.
1872, Laws 1858, authorized boards of
health to furnish such supplies. The
distinction between the two sections
is pointed out in the above decision.
THIS last section, however, was ex-
pressly repealed by the Revised Laws
and I am unable to find any provision
authorizing the board of health to
furnish food supplies at the expense of
the city without making application
| therefor to the proper authorities:
/ Sc. 1909, r. L. 1906, provides that all
such applications shall be made to the
council and. IN the absence of any
other statute. such an application is
necessary Except in an emergency,
before the city can he charged with
the expense. If the council or a
member of the council IS notified and
fails to act. the city might be charge.
able under the rule applied in Teisser
VS.. town of Lake Pleasant, 81, MINI.
145, that the duty of caring for the
poor being imposed upon the city by
law. it cannot escape its responsibility
because It's officers fail to do their
duty. If an emergency existed 1e'
quiring such immediate relief that
there was no time to notify the
authorities. and the relief was
furnished and the authorities notified
within a reasonable time thereafter,
the city might be liable for the OK
pense under the principle laid dow1
in Robbins, vs.. town of Homer, 9!
MINI. POI. But in this case n,
application was made to the cit!
authorities and no emergency il
shown.

ney Katlan of Woodstock, ILL.,, was
killed and three male companions were
severely injured last night in a pc
culiar automobile accident. William
Ewing's lungs were pierced by three
broken ribs and may die.
The four men were returning to
Woodstock from Milwaukee and were
driving thirty miles an hour. John
Whitworth was at the wheel and at
tempted to make a turn in the road
without slackening speed.
The machine skidded for nearly a
hundred feet and finally plunged into
a telephone pole. The automobile did
not upset, but broke the pole off about
three feet from the ground.
The upper part of the pole fell with
great force into the autom mob bile, strik-
ing Katlan on the head and crushing
the other occupants of the car against
the doors and steering gear.

CLOSE ON PRINTER.
Austin Is Only a Few Votes Ahead of
Brown.

With the returns In from 103 coun-
ties Austin is leading for state printer
by the narrow margin of 129 votes
The totals give Austin 39,302 and
Brown. 39,173. The only counties not
reporting are Reno, Cherokee and
Pratt 1t is known that Brown ran
ahead of Austin in Reno. so the coun-
ties of Pratt and Cherokee will de-
eide the nomination. Speaking of
Cherokee the secretary of state tele-
phoned the Cherokee clerk today for
the returns ana received a vague and
indefinite reply. The Cherokee peo-
pie seem to labor under the delusion
that all they have to do is to eet the
returns in to Topeka before the No
vember election. AS for Pratt and
Reno, they have not yet made any ex-
cuses.
Graves will win over Porter for SUI
preme court by over 600 plurality
West ran far ahead of Graves.
No totals have been footed on the
vote for governor, but it is understood
that Stubbs' majority will be we'll over
10000. The total Republican vote
cast at the primary is not known vet
but it probably will exceed 10000

ernor was $4,000.

VENDING LANDS.
The Man Accused of Numbering
Alma Kellner
Is Back in Louisville, the Scene
of the Crime.
is ALREADY INDICTED.
Officers Have Covered $4,000
Miles in the Chase.
No Attempt at Mob Violence on
His Arrival.

Louisville, KY, Aug. 12.-Joseph
vending wanted here on the charSe or
numbering Alma Kellner, was placed III
the city hall here this morning atter a
remarkable chase across the contlneht
and ztn almost equally remarkaDle re-
turr. in charge of Captain John P. Car
ney, chief of the Louisville detective
department Vending had no sooner
been ushered into the chief of police
loom than he took a position IN one OF
the large windows and bdsled hllnse1
by Whistling AID waving his hand to the
crowd which had gathered in the street
below. His everlasting smile was much
in evidence.
Vending touched Kentucky soil
shortly after o'clock this morning 1or
the first time in many months. He and
his captor took a train at Evansville,
Ind, about O'clock HandcufIed to-
gether Captain Carney and his man
occupied the drawing room on the EV-
ansVille sleeper. The train was an hour
late when it pulled into the Union de-
pot. A large sized, but orderly, crowd
was kept in bounds by plenty OF po-
ice ard when Vending was hurried
from the car to an automobile, there
was no demonstration.
1t has not yet been announced when
Wendling viii be presented in police
court. In all proba bility there will be
one or two continuances granted and
he will likely be held to answer to the
criminal court. He has already been
indicted by the grand jury on a charge
Of murder. The bringing Of Vending
to Louisville, marks the end of one of
the longest cbases in detective history.
The return trip from San Francisco to
Louisville stretches the real hunt of
about i 600 miles to total of over 49,,
600 miles.
Not until May so, the date that the
mutileted body of Alma Kellner was
found in a cellar beneath St. John S

nected with the disappearance of the
child. 1t was believed that she had been
kidnapped. Numerous letters were re-
ceived by the Kellner family and Frank
F'ehr, a wealthy brewer and uncle of
the girl, demanding ransom for her re-
turn. -Four months previous to the dis
covery of the body Vending had left
Louisville quietly, not even letting his
wife know that he --~s going away
When bloody clothing was found in
EVendlirg's rooms, he was charged with
the murder and the wheels of the con-
tinuous search for Vending were set in
motion.

He Passed a Good Night.

New York, Aug. 11.-Expressions OF
encouragement on the part of all the
watchers by Mayor William J. Gay
nor's bedside, ushered in the fourth
day of his fight for recovery. The fol-
lowing bulletin was issued this morn
ing:
mayor Gaynor passed a very good
night. He slept seven hours. He is
comfortable this morning and in ex-
cellent general condition. His tenn
perature is 100; pulse. 10; respiration,
16.
'WILLIAM J. ARLITZ, NJ. D.
CHARLES NJ. DOWD. NJ. d.
The physicians were not willing to
supplement bulletins with even in
formal statements as to the patients
condition evidently assuming that the
reassuring tenor of the official an
nouncements would be all that was
necessary to allay any fears that had
found expression late yesterday and
last night. 1t was commented, how
ever that the temperature, pulse and
respiration given indicated a practi-
cally normal condition for the patient
and the news brought from the may
or'S chambers by his lay attendants
was of a decidedly cheerful nature.
The mayors secretary, Robert
Adamson, coming down shortly after
o'clock. said that the mayor had
eaten breakfast about 7:45 O'Clock
with his usual good appetite. Mrs
Gaynor. who had been near her hus-
band through the night. again pre-.
pared his morning coffee.
There was no attempt today to leave
a vague impression regarding the ra-
diograph examination made in the
search for the bullet. Secretary
Adamson commented on the interest
the mayor displayed yesterday in the
mechanism of the X-raY apparatus
which comment itself indicated clear
ly enough that a second set of radio
graphs had been taken. These show
the presence of the bullet in the vault
of the pharynx, or, in other words, in
the wall of the throat just beyond the
palate. 1t was generally believed to-
day that the physicians were in agree
ment that there had been no splitting
of the missile and that the apparent
fragment shown by the first X-ray ex-
animation to be separate from the
main portion of the bullet was in fact
probably a fragment of bone.
