R. 8. Horton has accepted the appoint- ment after two other appointees had re- tused it. The place pays $1,200 a year, “I should estimate that it has been costing the county from $3,000 to $4,000 a year for this work,” sald Mr. Magney. “An attorney Is cppointed to defend every Impeounious person who pleads nol gullty to ordinary crimes like break- ing and entering, assault, or forgery, and for this service the attorney receives 3. “In murder cases the attorney recelves from $300 to $500 for his services.

The car was 80 completely crushed that the work of extricating the in- jured was distressingly slow. There were about thirty-five passengers on the car and only one or two escaped injury. BHight dead were taken from the wreck- age and two of the injured, one of them | a girl of 16, died while being carried | from the car to an ambulance at Ni- agara Falls.

Conductor Escapes. Conductor George Caswell was among the few who escaped unhurt. Realizing that he could give little as- sistance to the injured, he ran to Queens- ton. A general call for help was sent out in the village and word of the accl- dent was telephoned to the main offices of the company at Niagara Falls, Ont. Rellef cars were started from both ends of the line, carrying all the doctors who could be reached, as well as soldiers who had been on guard at the bridge. When the rescuers arrived the slightly Injured were sent on to Queenston. The bad cases were taken to the hospital at Niagara Falls, Ont. It was after mid- night when the last case had left the operating table, The Injuries of many of the patients were serious, but it was thought that no additional deaths were expocted, Ca Myntery. Rallway men have been unable to learn what caused the car to leave the ralls. Neither rail 1s broken, and crew and pas- sengers say the car was not moving at excessive apeed. The ralls were slippery from rain and the car was heavily loaded. These conditions, it was sald, may have caused the flanges on the car wheels to jump the ralls when the greatest force was thrown upon them as the car turned the curve.

He added that he usually did not take up questions until they were capable of solution. “I belleve it is only & question of time untfl women will share governmental bur- dens with men,” he sald. “Let me give you an argument for those who question the morality asd in- telligence of giving the ballot to women.

BERLIN, June 30.—The authorities of Elberfeld are confronted with the most puzsling problem that they have had to solve since the bread card became an institution in Germany—and all because of a show bear that is so fussy about its food that it will eat nothing but bread. The owner of the animal was recently before the lower court, fined and scn- tenced to prison because he had shared his weekly portion of bread with the ani- mal. With two months' incarceration staring him in the face he appealed, alleg- ing that the bear was his only means of support. A kind-hearted judge changed the sentence to a fine of 100 marks, and advised the owner to apply to the presi- dent of the government in which Elber- $111.90 5.00 Accidental Death, Investigating the death of Mrs, Ware, 3004 Elm street. to produce sleep.

PROCEEDINGS ARE POSTPONED KANSAS CITP:» Mo., July 8.-— (8pecial Telegram.)—An attempt to settle the divorce suit of W. L. Yet- ter of Omaha failed today. Both Mr. and Mrs. Yetter were in court today, with attorneys. J. B. Stacey, attorney for Yetter, offered Mrs. Yetter the following terms: Yetter to get the divorce and deed over to his wife the home at 3340 Harney street, Omaha, worth $10,- 000, and $1,915 in cash., This sum represents $1,300 of Mrs. Yetter's money at 7 per cent interest. Mrs. Yetter was given until 3 o’clock this afternoon to decide whether she would accept the terms. Judge Seehorn, who was hearing the case, had indicated that he would give the divorce to the husband. Mrs. Yetter was in a flurry at the de- velopments. When the case was called again at 3 o'clock, new attorneys ap- peared for Mrs. Yetter. It was announced that she had discharged her former at- torneys and hired new ones. The new lawyers asked the court for time to look into the case and the settlement was in- definitely delayed. Yetter, who is a wholesale dealer in wall paper, and former king of Ak-Sar- Ben in Omaha, was married in 1889, He and his wife separated two years ago. | YETTER HOME IN OTHER NAME House Mentioned in Dispatches in Name of Mrs. MeConnell. Dispatches from Kansas City stating that W. L. Yetter, the Omaha wall paper man, had tried to settle his divorce suit by offering, among other things, “to deed over to his wife the Yetter home, worth $10,000, at 3340 Harney street,” are appar- ently overstated. So far as the register of deeds office records show Yetter does not own the home, which stands in the name of Elizabeth 8. McConnell, and does not show Yetter's equity in its purchase. The property, free from encumbrance, would be valued at less than $5,000. Funeral of Detective Funeral services for the late wetective Danlel E.

RUSS WAIT FOR COMRADES TO FALL TO GET RIFLES BERLIN, (Via London), Crernowits (Bukowina) correspondent of the Zeitung Am Mittag, says that Rus- sians in great force continue the efforts to break the Austrian lines on the Dnies- ter front, but that all attacks are steadily repulsed with great losses.
