BARELY ESCAPES
BAD COLLISION
l. {. Butler Car Of Arion Has Close
Call With Aug kahI Car Near
erodersen Farm
AUTO LANDS IN DITCH.
Accident Near Bale Farm West Of
Denison Saturday Evenins-Mrs.
o. M. CrisWell Hurt.

Mr.. and Mrs. L. C. Butler and daugh-
ter and Mr.. and Mrs o. M. Criswell
met with an accident Saturday evening
while coming to Denison in the Butler
machine near the Bale farm just west
of Denison, which they will not soon
forget and they are all congratulating
themselves that they are alive to tell
how it happened.
The party left Arion for Denison
and were going along at a lively rate
when they came to the road leading
down from the B. BrOdersen farm.
Here Mr.. Butler saw the August kahl
machine with five passengers coming
down the hill, and it was very evident
that the two machines would collide
at the corner unless something was
done at once to avert it. Mr.. Butler,
realizing the danger, swung his car to
the south in hopes to clear the road
so that the Kahl car could make the
turn without striking his machine. Al
ter making the turn Mr.. Butler applied
the brakes with such force that one of
the rear wheels broke and the car
skidded down into the ditch along the
south part of the road. Fortunately
for all the machine did not turn turtle,
but the occupants were all thrown out,
bruising them considerably. Mrs. Girls
well was badly bruised and had her
shoulder wrenched, while Mrs. Butler
received sprained ankle. The other
occupants were not badly hurt. re-
ceiving only few bruises.
Had it not been for Mr.. Buffers
presence of mind in turning out as he
did the two machines would have col
lided, but as it happened the Kahl car
had room enough to make the turn and
stop and the occupants assisted in
picking up the unfortunate ones in the
other machine. It was close call
and one that not one of them would
care to have repeated.

XII. signaling Of French Navy.

Kite signaling OF Fronch Navy.
4 Novel ways Of signaling were tried
out recently during the naval ma
rneuvers in the Mediterranean by men
aboard the French warships. It was
generally conceded that the tests with
box kites were most eficient. Tho
results proved that the box kites, BE-
ing Hight, can be hoisted even when
there IL but q slight breeze; and their
size makes them easily discernible
from great distances. Tho signal sys-
TEN used was similar to that Of the
nag system. Various combinations Of
kite groupings were used. While this
system Of signaling is not quite 20
fast as signaling by means Of hags,
tt IL more definite, It is claimed. and
can be seen for miles around. The
success Of the experiment has led to
TO q recommendation to the French
government that the system be intro
duced generally in the navy Of France.

Elmer Mill has been kept busy with
the sprinkling of the streets rather
later than in former years. The ex-
tremely dry fall has left the streets
covered with dust and with the wind
blowing as it has been for the past
two or three days stirs up the dust
about as bad as it was in midsummer.

At the meeting of Levy Court this

chairman of the bridge committee, has
charge of the work of repairing the
Washington street bridge, stated that
the job would be finished, with the ex-
ception of the asphalt covering, by the
end of this month.

PASS BILL OVER VETO
OF THE COMPTROLLER

II was ascertained this morning
that the bill for s1,s25, which was re-
Gently passed by the Levy Court for
the purchase Of an automobif for the
use Of County Engineer James Will
son, was passed over the veto of
Comptroller Clark.
Mr.. Clark. in explaining his veto of
the bill this morning. stated that the
purchase of the machine was entirely
legitimate, as the court several weeks
ago, authorized its purchase, to be
used by the county engineer in in
specting roads in the lower section
of the county. but he did not consider
that the court had sufficiently adver-
tised for a machine.
The court had advertised for sew
eral new cars for the use of the
county and offering the old county au-
tomobile for sale. The court consid-
cred this sufficient advertising, but
Mr. Clark believed the purchase of a
machine for the county engineer
should have been advertised separ-
ately.

NOT Lose THE S54OO
Levy COurtmen Explain the
Overpayment TO Atlas
Bridge Company
COURT GETS A BILL
AGAINST COMPANY

Levy Court Commissioner Gooding,
at the meeting of that body this
morning, in speaking of the s5,4OO
overpayment to the Atlas Bridge
Company, remarked that the check
given to that company was not for
SS,4O0. as had been stated, but was
for S7,4O0. He explained, however,
that $4,000 Of this amount was al
lowed to pay the wages of the men
working upon the bridge.
Mr.. Gooding stated that the Court
had right to advance the $5,400 TO
the contracting company to pur-
chase the material for the work, II
they wished TO do so.
He declared that the Court desired
to make it clear that the county will
not lose anything by advancing the
money, as they have possession OF the
material
Levy Court Commissioner Burris,
chairman of the bridge committee, at
the meeting of that body this MORN
ing presented a bill for $59S from
Captain Jesse A. Gray. a professional
diver of Camden, n. j., for services
rendered on the Third street bridge.
Mr. Burris explained that Captain
| Bridge Company on the sub-structure
work of the bridge, and he stated that
there we're a number of similar bills
outstanding against the Atlas Bridge
Company, which will now be sent to
the Levy Court for payment, as the
contract has been taken from the At
las Bridge Company.
What are we going to do with
these bills?' asked Mr.. Burris. "If
We pay one we will have to pay them
all. Shall we pay them?"
Commissioner Gooding, a member
of the bridge committee, suggested
that all the bills of this nature be
collected and acted upon all at one
time. Upon his motion it was decid-
ed to hold up all Of the Atlas Bridge
Company bills for action at future
date.
Levy Court at its meeting this
morning, received a letter from the
Fidelity and Deposit Bonding Com
pany, which bonded the Atlas Bridge
Company on the Third street bridge
contract saying they had referred
the matter to the Fome Office and
thanked the court for its prompt
ness.

tended to take in the matter.

company that they would be prepared {,
make a statement to the court at thei
meeting this afternoon. Mr.. Bird wh'

BAIL IS REFUSED

In the City Court today Officer VIII
lard Sharpless was held without bail for
two days on charge OF assault with
intent TO commit murder, as a result OF
shooting George Hunter, Jr., colored,
while he was escaping from the police'
man Sunday night. Sharpleas was rep
resented by David ]. Reinhardt.

Hospital, testified that he is attending
Hunter and that his condition is nm
changed. Hunter WIS shot in the back
and the bullet went close TO the spine.
An N-ray photograph was taken but
the plates have not been developed.
II will be week before it will be
possible to determine the result. While
his condition is serious he has an even
chance of living. the doctor said.
AIr. Reinhardt asked that Officer
Sharpless be held in substantial bail.
Judge Churchman refused the request.
Mr.. Rcinhardt asked 10 be heard ON
The subject. Sharpless is member OF
the police department, he said. There
is no evidence against him beyond news
paper reports. He only can be charged
with one of three crimes, murder, man
slaughter or the present charge of at
tempted murder.
Judge Churchman said this is a charge
Of murder.
Murder, why the man is not dead,
exclaimed Mr.. Rcinhardt. How can
II be murder?"
"Well, that is precisely what the
charge should have been," replied tho
judge.
"Well, ! do not want to have the ne
ccssity of taking habeas corpus pro-
ccedings.' Mr. Reinhardt said. Sub
stantial bail--I would suggest $1,000
can be furnished"
Judge Churchman told Mr. Rcinhardi
to take his legal remedy. Il is i'm
possible to determine the offence will
which the man is charged when the other
man is in a critical condition and may
die. he said. Sharpless was held with
out bail for a hearing on Thursday.

shoemaker OF the southwest corner

planned that when he told Captain
Kane of the local police force about
his windows being broken by mobs
on Sunday night Captain Kane had
hit him and then threw him from
the statlonhouse. Captain Kane last
night branded the statement as un-
true. Samuels has written a letter
to the Board Of Police Commissioners
complaining Of the treatment he re-
cciyed and II will most likely be con-
sidered by the board at this after
Moons meeting

trouble said
Il went up to the station to report
the trouble and the clerk told me to
wait for the captain. l came later
and met Captain Kane. who was
standing behind the railing said

them breaking my windows last
/ nightg Captain Kane walked from
behind the railing, grabbed me by
the coat and slugged me behind the
ear and threw me out in the back
yard.
"He told me rot to come back with
any more complaints or he would
1 arrest me. He was very mad.

/ and the deputy attorney general was
there. He said that he wouldn't think
that the captain would do such a
thing, and said that ] would have TO

went to the clerk at the police sta
ton and he was mad and said:
What. ! cant give you a warrant;
20 to the police commission ! then
went to Commissioners Stsyton's home
and he told me to send letter to
the meeting"

as read to him. said he did not care
