Sac City Well Lighted.

Sac City, a town having a population
of not over three hundred more than
Audubon has put in new lightning
system on its streets. There are 125
globes for electroliers. The Sac City
Sun says the installation of this fine
lightning system has come through the
efforts Of the commercial club and the
public spirit of Sac City's business men.
The maintenance of these lights will
cost something, but will not be a burden
to the average tax payer, who feels
that his property is worth just a little
more, and that if Sac City maintains
her place among the better small cities
of the state, she must make an occasional
improvement.

Police Say Smith
Is Nervous, and On
Verge of Breakdown

James Smith, held in connection with
the attack on Morris Bennett, and sus-
pected of knowing something of the
murder Of William Mickle, seems to be
on the verge of a breakdown.
AS reason for their belief that his
nerve Is falling. the police say that
every few minutes yesterday he called
for food and water. He was given a
number of pies and several paper bags
full Of doughnuts and apples, all of
which he soon made way with. Prior to
this his appetite has been normal q
the change Is taken as evidence that he
Is breaking under the fire of question
ing.
He has held up under exam'natic
better than any prisoner that has been
before the police recently. Thousands
of questions have been asked him. He
has been confronted with hundreds of
bits Of circumstantial and some positive
evidence. and yet he did not waver un-
til yesterday.
During these examinations there have
been but few changes in his face. He
has met the gaze of the police grimly
and often. when questioned. he would
cross-uuestion has tormentors.
He denies knowledge of the murders
In Chicago, in connection with which
he has been mentioned.

Columbia Heights
Man Saw Smith Near
Bennett Assault Scene

II saw James Smith walking south on
Sixty-first street northeast about s
o'clock Monday morning." said B. s. D.
Goldstein, of Columbia Heights, this
morning. That was short time after
Morris Bennett was assaulted.
II passed him in the road" continued
Goldstein. II recognized him but did
not speak to him because I knew his
character. He painted our house for us
a couple of years ago."
Goldstein, who is stenographer in
the office of the chief clerk of steam
engineering, says Smith was just out
side the District in Maryland when the
met. RI
II was going north on Sixty-first
street to catch the car for work when
] met Smith," he said. He did not act
strangely, but l was surprised to meet
him, because I had not seen him for a
long time"
Mr. Goldstein explained that 1t takes
him about an hour to get to work, so
that at o'clock he is always at the
car line ready to come to the city.
The place where he met Smith is not q
great distance from Gitchie Springs
where Bennett was found unconscious.

Bakery Wagon
Driver Regarded AS
Most Important Witness

In the chain of circumstantial evil
dence that is being forged around
James Smith, suspected of having as
saulted Morris Bennett, and of being
the slayer of william Mickle. the police
of the Ninth precinct regard the testi-
mony of J. G. Schoelkopf, 1912 Eye
street northwest, as one Of the strong
est links. .. -. .....
schoelkopf drives for the Ewald
Bakery and serves the stores along the
road on which Bennett was assaulted.
He told the police that on the morn
ing Of the assault he met Bennett COM
ing toward the city, with man in the
wagon with him.
While I could not see all Of the
were some parts Of his face SO distinct
that ! could not forget them. 1 recall
that the man in the wagon with Ben
nett wore light colored trousers"
When he was arrested Smith wore
kopf saw Smith at the Ninth precinct
he could not identify him positively.
1.-THE man saw in the wagon was
stnpding up looking back at my wagon"
he said. II thought he acted strangely,
but soon dismissed him from my mind
and drove on.
1.-THE crime must have been committed
in less than five minutes after l saw
item, for Bennett was found about two
hundred yards from where i passed.
This information is considered I'M
mitted yesterday morning that he had
seen a bakery wagon on the morning
of the crime, but said It was about 3
o'clock, and at a store IN Cedar
Heights. There was no bakery wagon
in Cedar Heights except the one driven
there at the time Smith says he saw

Bennett Gaining
Strength Rapidly;
May Speak Soon

Bennett is improving with each sue
ceeding hour. The chances are that he
will not die for some days yet, II at
all. If his strength continues to i,Ii-
prove for the next two days at the same
rate as 1t has for the last two, he Will
have regained consciousness enough to
make whatever he says about his assail-
ant positive and dependable"
This is the way DR.. Henry w. Jaeger.
resident physician at the Casualty Hos
piatl, described Benefits condition this
morning. There hasn't been an hour
since the unconscious man was taken
to the hospital Monday morning that
DR.. Jaeger has not seen him. He has
watched him rally, return to Conscious
ness, and again to unconsciousness:
He has done everything possible to
draw from Bennett information con-
cerning his assailant. Bennett, by
signs, has answered DR.. Jaegers ques-
lions, but the physician is unwilling to
place much dependence on these, owing
to the unsettled state Of the patients
mind.
This morning Bennett was asked how
he felt, and, by affirmative mods Of
the head, said much better. His eye
sight is returning. At first 1t was
thought that one of his eyes, and pos
sibly both, would be lost as a result
of the assault.
His jawbone is fractured in several
places This makes it impossible for
Bennett to eat solid foods.
