s.W.sCOTT TAWARDED''
VERDICT OF $4,000.
in COURT OF RECORD

After a trial which went over for
a couple of days, jury in the court
of record, at 5:45 o'clock Tuesday
evening, returned verdict of $1,000
for the plaintiff in the case wherein
Samuel w. Scott had sued the Postal
Telegraph Company for alleged per-
sonal injuries sustained in April of
this year when the plaintiff named
was struck and knocked to the pave
ment by a bicycle messenger in the
employ of the defendant telegraph
company.
In the case as it proceeded, it was
shown that Mr.. Scott sustained sew
eral injuries from the blow and also
from the fall, breaking his arm and
injuring his head and nose, sustaining
a nervous shock and internal injuries,
all of which, it was shown, had con-
tributed to a great impairment of his
health. The verdict also gave the
plaintiff interest from date of suit,

ARGUMENTS HEARD
in FAVOR OF THE
PROPOSED CHAR TER

Before a fair sized audience in
Mallory Court Tuesday night speak
ers for the Home Rule Association
discussed the proposed city charter,
and explained many of its details.
The program was divided among
Robert Ell. Anderson, who talked on
the objections to the charter, and
answered several attacks upon it;
William Fisher, who explained the
construction of the charter, and Feso
McAllister, who discussed in gem
eral way, the adyisibility of changing
the form of government.
Mr.. Anderson Answers Objections.
Among other things Mr.. Anderson
touched on the 100000 bond issue,
and declared the objections which the
opposition is making to the charter
on this point are unfounded on fact,
and that the clause was inserted to
make the instrument complete, and
that the charter board was opposed
/ to the bond issue.
Mr. Fisher devoted much of his
time to discussion of the work OF
the charter board in trying to frame
system of government.
After his talk, Mr.. Fisher an
nounced that he would endeavor to
answer any question which persons in
the audience cared to ask. Many
availed themselves of this opportun-
/ ity. One of the interrogators asked
the speaker if it was not his inten-
/ tion to run for mayor of the city. Mr..
Fisher denied the assertion, ano
characterized as absurd the belief
that he could have controlled the
charter board to the extent of plac-
ing that form of election in the char
i ter.
i Following Mr.. Fisher, Mr.. Me-
i Allister made a short talk asking the
voters to stand together on a ques-
tion which affected their interests as
much as the change of government did
and urged them not to be misled by
prejudices spread by the opponents
, but to vote for the interests of tht
whole city.

Dog Does Pilot
Duty on Vinduct

Altho no policeman or guard has
been placed on the South Third avenue
viaduct to warn pedestrians and pilot
autos and other vehicles across in safe
ty, ser-appointed guardian has Ia
ken UP his station there recently and
seems to be able to work day and
night. The guardian is small black
dog which works hard most of the day
plotting machines back and forth
across the overhead bridge.
This guardian Of the public safety
stations himself at the north approach
to the viaduct, just across from the
Chicago Great Western tracks. When
an automobile or wagon approaches,
vigorous barking notifies the driver
that the pilot is ready for active sery-
ice. AS soon as the vehicle gets on
the approach. away goes the dog. run
ming ahead and informing other APP
preaching drivers to clear the way.
This continues all the way across. 1T
another team or auto happens to be
coming along on the return trip they
are given,the services Of the pilot back.
otherwise he trots back to his start
ing post. and waits for more business.
1t has been suggested that the ca
nine is dropping hint to the authori-
ties. showing that it is, helpful. and
perhaps necessary. that some sort OF
a Waterman be on duty at the north
approach twenty four hours day.

BOYS, WORK STOPS FOR WEEK.
Precautionary Measures Taken b>
Health Board Until Monday.

Health Board Until MONDAY.
BOYS work at the Y. NJ. c. A. was
brought to a sudden halt this week by
order of the city physician. who asked
that all boys under IA be kept out OF
the building until next Monday. This
is on account of the danger of infan-
tile paralysis spreading, and is to pre-
vent any possible spread OF the disease
among the children of the city, No
gymnasium classes for the junior, IN
termediate or employed boys will be
held until Monday.
The community work has also been
temporarily halted. and plans which
had been made to start a program OF
motion pictures, on Thursday night for
the boys at the association building
have had to be given up. These pic
lures are secured thru the extension
department of Iowa State College,
Ames and are interesting and instruc-
tive.
AS the ban will be lifted next Mon :
day, however, preparations are going
forward rapidly for the grade school
social which takes place Wednesday
night, Nov 1. Only sixty more tickets
of the original 500 remain. and it is
thought that this supply will be eX-
hausted by Saturday night. As soon
as the 500 tickets have been given out
no more boys will be able to gain ad-
mittance. as the building can not con
veniently accommodate more than this
number.
An added attraction for the boys has
been announced. This is the talk by
DR.. Charles L. Barker. of Washington
who will speak to the grade school
boys Immediately after the motion pic
lures are shown Wednesday evening

BIG CROWD AT OPEN HOUSE.
Joint Fall Welcome by Y. w. and Y
N. c. A. Much Enjoyed.

If the crowd which attended the
| Joint open house of the Y. M. and Y.
w. c. A. held at the Y. NJ. c. A. build
ing Wednesday night is any criterion
of the interest shown in the work Oh
the two associations, the coming win
ter should be an active one in both
branches. Nearly 1000 people TOOK
advantage of the invitations issued py
both associations and packed the
gymnasium to enjoy the program
The exhibition Of swimming drew a
Istig crowd, and the space for spec
tators around the pool was so limited
that two shows had to be given by the
boys. All the stunts" performed in
the water were much enjoyed by the
audience. The program in the gym
rasium. which was carried out as
scheduled proved very pleasing as
| well. Many comments were heard on
the appearance of the building, when
had been especially decorated for the
occasion. The Halloween spirit was
in evidence everywhere, from the two
| crimson lights which twlnkied
| greeting outside the building to the
black cats. witches and other appro-
pirate settings which were tastefully
arranged in the inside. Most OF the
decorating was done by l.. M. Bu-
Chanan and Phil Hurd.

Main street. From the safe, which Is

of business Wednesday. s137h0 was
stolen.
The safe was not forced, but the
combination was used TO gain access to
the money drawer. That the THIEF

fact that checks were separated from
the cash, and only the cash taken. IN
cluded in the cash was about $50 IN

over were laid back in order and the
safe was locked.
Entry Is Mystery
How the thieves gained entrance TO
the store is just as mysterious as how
the safe was entered. Without know
ing the combination Of a safe only an
eypert could open it in a short time.
The front door of the store was equlp-
