City Clerk Derby's report showed
that the general fund expenditures for
the quarter ending Sept 80 were over
$1,000 to the good as compared to the
same three months of 1910. The ex-
pendjtures Of all departments that
draw from the general fund have ag-
gregated $9,Ss2.S1, as against s12,-
1925 for the same period last year,
or gain of $2.227.45. The police de-
partnhent has made a most excellent
showing, and against $3,773.06. spent
during the same three months last
year, the department shows for the
quarter just closed an expense of ST.
673.21. or a saving of more than half.
The streets and alleys department also

500 appropriated, spent $1,673.21; the

In this connection. however, it should
be explained that all Of the heavy
work done in this department has been
accomplished during the past three
months, and that the next quarter the
expenditures will likely be much low

CHARGE OF DELINQUENCY
NOT ESTABLISHED

Last Tuesday afternoon Mrs. Mary
f.. Malcolm of Rife was given a heai.
ing before Judge Smith of the county
court on a charge of contributing to
the delinquency of her four minor child
ren, Emma. fifteen years of age Luella
ten, Harry seven and INLAND five.
The complaint was fled by an off
Ger of the Humane society in Denver
who. however, failed to appear at the
trial to substantiate his accusations
which were that Mrs. Malcolm had neg
lccted har children, failing to supply
them with proper food and clothing,
There was another and more ser
ious accusation to the effect that
the moral surroundings had not
been such as the children were
entitled to and for all of these
reasons 1t was sought to take the
children from the mother who is a
widow, and place them in state
home where they would shave proper
training and influences
Mrs. John Linden was the principal
witness for the state and testified to
the neglect of the children by the moth
er. also to the unsanitary and even
filthy condition in which she had often
found the children, to their absence
from school and to general lack Of
care and attention on the part of the
mother.
Frank d. Squier and Mrs. J. B..
Elrod also testified in the case, but
their testimony was not of much i'm
portance since neither of them knew
much of definite character against
the woman.
c. W. Taylor prosecuted and Judge
Noonan defended Mrs. Malcolm who
made a fairly good witness in her own
behalf. However, the bystanders rea-
lied that the children have not had
proper care and felt that they would De
better off and the interests of society
better conserved if they We're placed
in state home, and yet the jury,
doubtless realizing that it is serious
thing to separate mother from her
children, brought in verdict of not
guilty, although each of the jurors ad
monished Mrs. Malcolm to take better
care of her children in the future. In
other words, Scotch verdict Not
guilty, but don't do it again.
