Exciting Runaway
Thursday Afternoon
Arthur Seeley Makes a Thrilling
Jump for Life and Lands
Extremely Hard.

Last Thursday afternoon Arthur
Seeley was driving down the steep
grade from Seeley Terrace to Grant
street when one of the holdback straps
broke and the buggy ran onto Arthur's
spirited nag and the horse dashed down
the street at breakneck speed. When
the horse turned corner at Sixth and
Grant streets Arthur concluded he did
not care to go any farther at that speed
and jumped out of buggy. He jumped
all right but striking terra frma was
different. When he regained con-
seriousness he was able to preambulate
and started in pursuit Of his horse and
buggy. The horse was caught away
out Fourth street, at Sharptown. The
only damage to buggy was broken
dashboard. Arthur had very narrow
escape from serious injury. A hard
bump against shade tree is what put
him to sleep for few seconds. A little
cuticle off one leg, lame back and q
deep cut in palm Of right hand, that
required several stitches, was the
extent Of Arthur's injuries.

Keeper of County
Home Under Fire
Grand Jury Finds Conditions at
the Home Demanding Immed-
late Attention.

The Grand Jury, following the ad-
journment of criminal court, made
the usual Investigations of the county
buildings, ETC., delving deep into the
management of the county home.
Several complaints had been re-
ceived from inmates and others as to
the treatment Of those at the home,
and when the jury visited the institu-
tion in body they found conditions
such that they determined to make
searching investigation. An endeav-
or was made to conduct the investiga-
tion at the home, but the witnesses
were evidently afraid to testify there,
and the inquiry was held in the court
room, subpoenaes being served on
several inmates of the home, and on
the county commissioners.
Several inmates testified to the ef-
feet that Edgar Smith, the superin-
tendent, had beaten them or others,
with large rubber hose, with a
broom stick, and with cane; that
he had broken child's finger by hit
ting him with cane and permanently
injured one of the women by throw
ing her against table. 1t was also
shown that the home was literally
polluted with vermin of all sorts; that
it was uncleanly and that the food was
bad.
Several of the grand jury were for
recommending the instant dismissal
of the superintendent, but, owing to
the fact that no outside evidence had
been secured as to Smiths treatment
of the patients, others believed that
a reprimand would change conditions
and that course was followed.
