ST0CKMAN Is IN A
CRITICAL CONDITION
ROBERT ADAMS is SAID BY DOC
TORS TO HAVE EVEN
CHANCE FOR LIFE.

Robert Adams, the we'll known
Camas Prairie stockman whose leg
was so seriously crushed week ago
when n wild horse he was trying to
Tide, fell back with him. is in very
critical condition at the st. Anthony's
hospital due to an Infection which set
in several days ago. The physicians
declare he has just about an even
chance today for his life.
The accident in which he was In
jured occurred in the morning and
he did not secure medical attention
until the afternoon. The bones OF
the leg had been badly crushed and
splintered and infection soon set in.
So bad did this become that an oper-
alton for the amputation OF the leg
was determined upon but yesterday
after a consultation, the physicians
decided that the condition of the pa
tient was too serious to attempt the
surgical treatment Their only hope
now is in drawing out the infection

COMMITTEE ADOPTS
CHANGED CHARTER
RECONISIENDATION SAVE ONE
INCORPORATED
PRINTED SOON.

At a meeting of the commission
charter committee in the city hall
Saturday evening. all of the recon-
mended changes proposed by the Com
mercial association, save one, were
adopted and incorporated in the new
charter. and the charter. thus chang
ed, was adopted, turned over to a
special committee for the printing of
copies and submission TO the city coun-
ell
The one recommendation not aceep-
ted was that to make the percentage
of property owners on a street i'm
provement remonstrance so per cent
rather than 81. Though E. j. Mul-
ply put up a hard fight to have this
change made, declaring that street
improvement would be next to impos-
sible under the 81 per cent provision,
he lost out. number of those present
holding the view that so per cent
clause would jeopardize the charter
at the election whereas the majority
rule provision would tend to popu-
larize the charter with many.
The re-assessment clause providing
for the correction of errors so that
property holders could not take ad-
vantage Of them to escape payment
of their part of the costs was unani-
mously adopted without discussion its
merits being obvious to all.
Practically the only other recon-
mendation that provoked argument
was that for the reduction of the linn
it of an additional water bond issue
from 100000 to $4,000. G. A. Rob-
ins suggested as a compromise that
the limit be fixed at $4,000, Mayor
Matlock still contended for 500, 900
while c. 5. Terpening opposed giving
the commission power to sell any
bonds. E. J. Murphy argued for the
$4,000 limit and that sum was fin
ally incorporated in the charter.
The recommendation to divide the
city funds as equally as practicable
between the banks of the city and to
make all business meeting public and
the records open for inspection by the
public were adopted readily.
Another change made at the in
stance of the Commercial association
was the striking out of the clause
which made it possible for the COM
mission to levy an assessment for road
purpoes as high as two dollars on
each thousand dollars worth of prop
erty.
After the suggestions had been acted
upon, Col. }. H Raley moved the ac.
cepteance of the charter as amended
and that the same be prepared oil
immediate presentation To the council
with the request that a special election
be called. George Robbins. Theodor,
Wheelock and Mrs. L. d. Idleman were
appointed on a committee to edit the
charter and have 1t printed.

IL was not denied that Captain
Doyle OF the Giants is in poor shape.
There Is a slight possibility that he
will be unable to play also. His shoul-

of Snodgrass and Doyle will undoubt-
edly weaken the team.
