THE DISPENSARY GRAFT
CASE NOW BEING HEARD.

knowledge that Ben Stothart got this
money came about in this way: John
Strickland told my partner after he
had been raided by the constabulary
of about $40 worth of stock that he
had paid for protection which he did
not get. My partner told me that
Strickland claimed to have paid for
protection and did not get 1t. told
him that Mr.. Strickland lied and I
would Immediately go and see Mr..
Strickland; l drove up to Mr.. Strick-
lands place and just before | got
there | met him on Rutledge avenue
and said: What kind of lies is this
that you have told in reference to
your paying for protection and not
getting it? Have you ever given me
life? To which he replied, NO, l
gave it to Hennie Doscher l did not
say l gave it to YOU said, We'll,
when you make an assertion you be
careful and state correctly to whom
you gave the money or l will make it
unpleasant for YOU
Went to See StOthart.
Il said to my partner, after return
ing, 1 am going down and see Ben
Stothart about this And | went down
and asked Ben: "Say, Ben, do you
know of my collecting a cent from
the Strickland brothers, or did YOU
tell my partner that I collected from
them and you did not get it?" He
said: No, | did not say that you col
iected from the Strickland brothers
but he says that / understand that
Doscher did and | never got a cent
for it. l said, We'll, Ben now those
Strickland boys are not doing much
nd
for protection. Could you not put
them on for SIS month and l will see
that you get the money He said to
me, John, l don't want to have any,
thing to do with the Stricklands or
any other kicker. He says when they
were keeping up the road / had made
up my mind to carry my men up the
road to raid on the 9TH of July, but
l was persuaded not to do so as it
was the only day they had and they
were willing to pay for protection.
Strickland was to give up $40. Instead
of raiding them, took my men at the
cost of about $40 to me on a fish fry
up the river, and l never got the $40
and :! understand that when we raided
Strickland the other day that he said
that II Ben Stothart did not have so
much pull that he would 90 to CO.

a place they raided without my
knowledge at the corner of Cumming
and Calhoun streets just the other
day and l was forced to make good
the seizures that those fellows got,
amounting to $125 and honestly
only got $50 in two payments. So you
see, that have got to be careful, and

will do so. / ther persuaded Ben
to take Strickland on and he said he
would try him at So month. The
conversation ceased, and seeing things
going from bad to worse, l then being
very friendly disposed to the gov

AND FRIENDS GATHERED AT
WARRINGTON AND WITNESS
ED EXCELLENT PROGRAM.

The closing exercises of St Johns
school, Warrington, took place June
in the presence Of g. large audience.
The program was long and varied, but
through the excellent training re-
ceived by the children and the prompt
ness with which each number was
performed, the whole was rendered in
comparatively short time.
Medals and prizes were distributed
chiefly for perfect attendance" during
the scholastic year, also for history
and Christian doctrine.
In his closing address Rev. Father
Klich spoke most emphattcally of the
training of the SOUL hand in hand
with that OF the body, and said that
no where can that he better accom-
plished than IN :he Catholic school,
where all the sciences are thoroughly
taught, yet rot by neglecting the

DAY AFTERNOONS DURING THE
SUMMER MONTHS DID so YES
TERDAY AFTERNOON.

Although q number of firms in the
city have been closing on Friday af
ternoon for several weeks, yesterday
afternoon marked the beginning with
most of them. Practically all of the
places of business which make q prac-
tice of closing Friday afternoon dur
ing the summer months were closed
yesterday afternoon. and although
there was no ball game and the
weather was inclement, the clerks and
employees were given an opportunity
to rest before the strenuous day which
Saturday generally provides for most
of them
The places which close Friday af-
ternoons will continue to do SO, ac-
cording to the usual custom, until
the summer months are over. This
custom makes a decided difference in
the receipts at the baseball park and
with the owners of the excursion
boats during the summer and gives
the working people an opportunity to
enjoy some recreation.

A WOMAN'S OBSERVATIONS
x.
NOT SO EASY TO DRIVE AN AUTO

From now on the newspapers will
contain daily lists of automobile &C
cidents.
Not only the unfortunate pedestrian,
who takes his life in his hands when
he attempts to cross a street, is in
danger. The occupants of every ma
chine never know when it is their turn
to wake up in a hospital or take their
fling into eternity.
There is no doubt that the automo-
bile is with us to stay.
1t is the greatest convenience Of the
age, It's utility is unquestioned. For
business or pleasure, there is nothing
to surpass 1t. And in price it is
growing more and more within the
reach Of the average man.
But-the great danger in the auto
mobile is this very fact that now al
most everybody can have one, and con-
siders himself perfectly able to act as
his own chauffeur.
Not everybody is capable OF driving
an automobile.
It requires a great deal of good
Judgment TO steer an automobile
through a moderately busy street. to
calculate on the distance and speed of
the machine ahead that you are try
ing to pass, to miss one coming to-
ward you in a cloud Of dust, to dodge
between a gutter on one side ana a
woman driven venice on the olleT, 10
refrain from running down a pedes-
TRAN while you are trying to keep
from running over a dog; to, in fact,
keep q clear head and reckon on the
chances that may result from the poor
driving Of somebody else.
There are people driving rutomo-
biles in city streets now and scorch-
ing along country roads who couldn't
stand a test to wheel a baby carriage
safely across a downtown crossing.
There are no laws to protect the pc
destrian, the occupants Of these ma
chimes nor of other ma chimes endan-
gered by such drivers. There is some
ruling here and there against automo-
biles being driven. by small boys and
girls, yet this is violated constantly.

under the Taft flag. In the latter Ease
the state committee, which is strong
ly progressive, would be empowered
to fill the vacancies. 1t is said by
leaders among the progressives that
a progressive candidate would be u
against each of them.
For instance, in the second, either
State Senator Peter Norbeck, of
Sphinx, or Chairman Carl Sherwood of
Clark. of the state central committee,
could make things warm for Burke.
DR.. Redfield, of Rapid City, could
run strong against Martin, and is
said to have the political bee buzzing.
Either Hepperle or Pay in an out and
out fight might beat out Glassner.
1t will be remembered that the
sum total of the progressive vote on
secretary of state vas nearly twice
what Glassner received; and a
straight progressive candidate for
auditor would not be hard to find.
These progressive leaders say that
Taft received a few over 10000 vot-
es in June, and that he would poll
far less at present, and that if OPP
portunity presents to put new pro-
gressive candidates against these
stalwarts that they can elect a clean
progressive slate in November.
