SHETLAND PONY
CAUSES EXCITEMENT
Veterinary Thrown From Buggy,
Dash Board Broken Up and
Vehicle Upset.
VICIOUS LITTLE ANIMAL
Displayed Wonderful Powers of
Strength and Energy in Effort
to Run Away.

DIR. p. II. IngeIs, veterinary and
horse trainer had an experience
with an unruly and vicious equine
on Spanish Saturday morning that
he is not likely to forget soon. The
horse with which he had such serious
contentious is Il little spotted shetland
pony that will probably weigh $50
pounds, but he is possessed of enough
ugly qualities to weigh $500 pounds.
While coming down Spanish street
for some reason or other the little
beast took Il dislike to the buggy he
was hitchcd to, and proceeded to try
to disengage himself. When he got
through with his kicking the dash
board presented the appearance of
having been target for gattling
gun practice. Finding his efforts
still unavailing, he proceeded to turn
Il few flip fops, causing the doctor
to lose his seat and take ahying
squirrel movement by which he
landed safely about forty feet from
where the pony was carrying on his
frivolities. The buggy was turned
over and dragged against a post where
the pony was held until he became
submissive. No serious damage was
done,

CITIZEN WAS
OPERATED ON
Glenn Hoeller i'm st. Louis
Hospital When Operated
on for Appendicitis.
ACCOMPANIED BY FAMILY
Patient Resting Nicely But Will
Not be Able TO Return
For Sometime

The many friends of G. 3. Hocller
who have been solictous as to the
outcome Of the treatment he is
undergoing for his health, will no
doubt be pleased to learn that Mr..
Hoellcr after having an operation
performed at st. Anthony's Hospital,
st. Louis, Friday morning at O'Clock
is resting nicely and if no unexpected
complications arise, his speedy re-
covcry is sassurcd. Mr.. Hocller
has been suffering for a long time
with chronic appendicitis, and after
consultation with various specialists
it was concluded that an operation
was necessary. Mrs. Allen the well
known trained nurse of this city,
is in St. Louis with Mr.. Hoeller,
and his family is also with him.
Mr. Hoeller is candidate for
reelection to the city council from
the third ward and on account of his
illness he has been uanble to make
an active campaign. He is in the
race, however, even though his infrm
condition will prevent his being pres
ent on the day of the election, and
while he will be missed, his staunch
and loyal friends will no doubt look
after his best interests and do their
utmost to secure his reelection.

MRS. WOODS DISCHARGED
Defense Offered One Witness to
Refute Testimony Offered BY
Prosecution

The case Of the State Of Missouri
against NIra. Mary Woods, held
Thursday afternoon in Judge Willcr's
court, resulted in the discharge of
the defendant. The state depended
largely upon the testimony of de-
tCctivc who had been employ I'd by
the Mems club to enter into immoral
relations with women in this town
andn the relate his experiences as
evidence against them These meth
DDS for the uplift of the morals of
the city were highly commended by
+. W. Flcntgc who was also wit
ness for the prosecution, and who
testified that W. II. Sutbblcncld had
secured the services Of the sleuth
in compliance with the will and wish
of the organization, of which he is a
leading member. The testimony was
fimsy and on its face showed the
cagcrncss usually noticeable with
hired witnesses. 1t was too thin
and contemplate for an honest Judge
and was so completely rcfutcd by
Mrs Wood when she took the stand,
that nothing was left for the court
but to render verdict of acquittal.

Policeman Talley Leaves His
Beat in Order to Relieve the
Distressed

At about 10 o'clock Thursday even
ing, call was sent into the Police
Station asking for police assistance
at l07 North Frederick street When
the phone rang, a gentleman passing
the station noticed that no one was in,
and took it upon himself to answer
the call. He Immediately sought
Chief Nichols who was a short dis
lance away and advised him of the
circumstance. The chief responsded
that in view of the outcome of the
Woods case, he had lost all interest
and ignored the call entirely. Parties
who heard the conversation called
up the number from which the appeal
for help was sent and found that
Mrs. Lyman Jones, wife of the tele-
graph lineman, had summoned the
police on account of having heard
someone proving on her back porch.
Neighbors got word to Policeman
George Talley on Broadway, and he
reported to the address and made an
investigation, but found no trace
of the suspect.

FIRE ALARM
CAUSES SERI-
Gus ACCIDENT
Fire Wagon Collides With an
Auto and One Man Ser
iOusly Hurt
TWO HOMES ARE BURNED
Inadequate Hose Supply and
Water Pressure Permits of a
Greater Loss

Thursday night at about ten O'Clock
fire broke out in the West section
of the city, destroying two residences
and damaging several other buildings
in the immediate locality. The fire
started on Cousin street in the home
of Isaac Stilwcll and before it was
discovered the building was hopelcssly
aflamc. Mr.. Stillwcll was alone in
the house and had fallen asleep after
having started fire in the stove
in order to heat some coffee for his
wife on her return from lodge meet
ing. He was aroused by being struck
on the head just before the roof fell
in. Nothing was saved except three
or four chairs. The home of Julius
Scabaugh on West Jefferson avenue
was set afre by flying sparks and was
also destroyed. Mr.. Seabaugh sue
ceeded in saving most of the house
hold belongings however, as the fire
had not made much Roadway before
it was discovered. The fire depart
ment was delayed in reaching the
scene on account of having encounter
ed the automobile of DIR. Schulz at
the corner of Merriwether and Sprigg
streets. The car was dragged some
twenty feet by the fire wagon, and
one Of its occupants, Philip Brooks,
sustained a broken ankle. At the
time the accident happened a party
composed of the following people
were in the car: Phil Brooks, Mr..
and Mrs. Chris Silver, Misses Annie
and Ouida Brooks and DIR. Schulz.
Mr.. Brooks was taken to the hospi-
tai from the scene of the accident,
where he is receiving treatment at
this time.
Witnesses to the accident stated
that DIR. Schulz was driving at a
rate of about 25 miles an hour, ac-
cording to their best judgment
The fire department were not only
hampered by this delay, but when
they reached the scene of their work,
their efforts were rendered less eff
fective from the fact that the pres
sure seemed to be very poor, and
having insufficient hose, the the house
of Mr.. Seabaugh was permitted to
burn while the hose wagon was
its trip back to the fire
station for more supplies.
Some insurance was carried on the
buildings and property destroyed.

EDITOR TRIBUNE:-

EDITOR TRIBUNE
| notice several articles signed
Taxpayer and Citizen. Why does not
the Writer of these article sign his
name so the public can size him up
to see if he really does know the
facts, or is harping On an old grudge
1t sounds to me like defeated en-
didate or the one that has no business
in the Board and if he knew the feel
ing of the voters would resign,
The writer wants to know why the
campaign committee does not reply
to his articles if he will write some
thing of interest to the patrons of
the schools, and not a lot of stuff
that can only be treated and an
swered best by ignoring same. Then
the committee will enlighten the
writer.
The writer has a great deal to
say about DR.. Schulz, he seems to
have it in for the doctor. He thinks
the DIR. has made mistake by buying
the Washington school lot, the best
buy for the purpose that has ever
been made since | have lived in the
city, and if it will be necessary to
buy more school lots hope he will
be on the board.
This lot has room enough, and con-
tains nearly 3 acres and the only
lot that has sufficient room for play
grounds. This lot is worth today
without the improvements 25 per
cent more than the cost price. The
writer finds fault with the DR.. for
furnishing the money at per cent,
until the money could be had that
had been levied but had not been
paid in. The school Board have never
been able to borrow money for less
than eight per cent. before. The DR..
also urged the Board to buy the lots
on the south of Jefferson school when
the lots could have been bought
cheap, the board refused this, not
having the foresight that it was the
thing to do and now it is seen it
ought to be done.
The doctor does not need anyone
to help him in his election for school
director. All the voters need, is to
get his record on the board, was
at the Mass meeting and this meet
ing was advertised and was open
then and there to nominate such
men as the people wanted, the can
didates were nominated faithfully
and with majority of the people pres
ent and it is not now the time to
find fault No man would now lend
his name to run against this ticket
so nominated, that would stand well
enough to stand any chance of
defeating any one selected at this
meeting.
Will say in conclusion that tn
voters will make no mistake in vote
ing for the ticket nominate by the
mass meeting. ..

CANDIDATES SELECTED FOR
SCHOOL ELECTION.

The Tribune is in receipt of advice
to the effect that G. S. Summers,
j. W. Phillips and II. IL. Haas have
been selected as candidates for school
directors, to be decided at the cleo
ton next Tuesday. The qualifica-
tions and business integrity of these
gentlemen is unquestioned, and it
would be difficult to make better
selections. Without questioning the
merits of their opponents, it is safe
to assert that best interests of the
schools will be well served should they
be successful.

DEFECTIVE LAMP CAUSES
EXCITEMENT.

For little while Sunday evening
at about six O'Clock the outlook was
very favorable for little blaze at
the home of Walter Montgomery,
534 Good Hope street, A kerosene
lamp became unmanageable, caught
fire and for time it looked as though
an explosion was inevitable. Mrs.
Montgomery, however, mustered up
courage, seized the lamp and tossed
il through the window onto the side
walk where it was rendered harmless.

London, Aug. GA financial sensa-

Mall Gazette's charge that just prior
to the beginning of the war the Ger
man government supported movement
to depress British securities to such an
extent that Great Britain would be I'M
able to participate in the war. The
story sets forth that Sl0,000,000 were
expended in the effort. The British
declaration of war caused slight de-
preston at the opening of the Chicago

bringing prices nearly back to the earlier
figures. New York yesterday received

securities which were sold before the

President at Her Bedside Almost Con-

Worry in Official Circles.

Washington, Aug. president Will

son almost constantly for several days,
and her protracted illness of several
months is causing worry in official cir.

them to stay their conflict and discuss

500, WAR LOSS
TO FED. REVENUES
Import Duties Fall and Funds Must Be
Found to Garry on Govern
ment.

Washington, Aug. 6.After a confer
ence with Secretary OF the Treasury Nc
Adoo yesterday, Senator Simmons, chair.
man of the Senate finance committee
announced that some measures must be
adopted to provide revenues for the gov.
eminent, since the income from foreign
duties had been so sharply reduced by
the falling off of imports on account OF
the war.
1T goes without saying" said Mr..
Simmons, shat the form Of taxation
which we must agree upon in order to
raise the money necessary to run the
government will have to take the form
of internal revenue. A change in the
tariff duties would not materially affect
the revenue, because there are little i,n-
ports. The loss annually will be SlH0,
100000.
"The method of taxation to be in
voked will be decided upon at further
conferences"
