The case Of Stehr vs.. State before
the supreme court Of Nebraska in.
volved the sentence of a father for
from one to ten years in the peniten-
tiary for criminal negligence, because
during q blizzard in Nebraska, when
the weather was bitter cold, he per-
mitted the fire to go out, snow drifted
through a crack in the door and
broken windowpane. and the bedding
of all the members of the family was
frozen stiff. The feet Of one of the
children were frozen, and although
such fact was apparent to the father
no physician was called in for sixteen
days, when amputation was found to
be necessary and the child died OF
blood poisoning. The defendant was
convicted of manslaughter for Grim,
inal negligence in failing to provide
medical care after he discovered the
| frozen condition of the child's feet
In affirming the conviction the court
held that for parent having special
charge of an infant child culpably t
neglect 1t so that death ensues as
consequence Is manslaughter, al
though death or grievous bodily harm
was not intended, and If the paren
has not the means for the child's nur
ture it is his duty to apply to the pub
lie authorities for relief.

mittee. Submitting a report for the
administration democrats, Chairman
owen gave notice he would open de-

ments as President Wilson was willing

Senator Hitchcock, democrat, and
the five republicans submitted a
draft materially changing the bill and
proposing four reserve banks owned
by the public and controlled by the
government.
The report submitted by senator
Hitchcock contained many amend

the administration and anti-adminis-
tration forces separated, and added
that its signers were generally in ia.

M'MlLLEN MAKES
A PRETTY FLIGHl
AVIATOR TAKES EARLY MORN.
ING SOAR OVER GREATER
LAS VEGAS

Aviator McMillen made a beautiful
flight over the city this morning
about 8 o'clock. The sky was clear
and there was not breath Of air
stirring, causing McMillen to decide
to try out his biplane, The flight
was unarnounced, but it did not take
the poDulace long to learn that the
aviator was in the air. Many society
girls were obliged to get up unusually
early for Saturday morning in order
to witness the bird-man's evolutions
in the air. AS consequence many
kinlonas and many heads of hair done
UP in paper curriers' were in evidence
Las Vegas chickens the feathered
kind-not being used to seeing aero
planes, thought the machine was a
hawk. Offers Of wet cornmash and
other dainties, failed to induce them
to leave their roosts, where they took
refuge. This is not a fake story.
Doubters may ask Mrs. 3. ]. Scott,
Dan Rhodes and other old settlers, all
OF whom are willing to take an afh-
davit as to its truth.
It was the intention of Romaine
Fielding, who engaged the aviator to
take part in his spectacular moving
picture drama, "The Golden Cod"
toutilize the daring bird-man this af-
ternoon if weather and light condi-
tions were satisfactory for the taking
of pictures. Though it could not be
announced authoritatively, It was
said that McMillen likely would fly
tomorrow.
