Responsible For Death of Smith? Was the Missouri Pacific railroad responsible for the death of Frank . Smith, a locomotive engineer, who was shot and killed by Ezra A. Koontz, in the compln{'l railroad yards on January 27, 1912? The question will probably be de- cided in the case of Nellie A. Smith, administratrix of the estate of her husband, against the Missouri Pac- cific, the widow of the engineer ask- ing{ $50,000 damages. oontz was tried for the killing of Smith, but was adjudged insane, be- ing_sent to the state insane asylum at Norfolk. A couple of years ago he was paroled to his brother at Kan- sas City, Mo, where he is residing at the present time. _Smith and Koontz were fellow en- gineers, said to have been the best of friends. The former was prepar- ing to go out on his run, from Omaha to Falls City, Neb., when Koontz shot him. It is set forth in the pe- tition that Koontz at the time be- lieved his wife urifaithful and that Smith was responsible. ’ The case had a huflng in the United States district court, but the attorneys for the plaintiff later de- cided to bring it before the local dis- trict court. " The petition maintains that Smith's death was brought about by the negligence of the railroad company in having an insane man in its employ.

EVENT IS HUGE SUCCESS Percy and Clarence and Harold and a good many other perfectly nice young men, stood around the corners of the Auditorium last night, gloom- ily lamenting their ‘fate, while Mickey and Patsy and Eddie, the boys who wear bright red suspenders, were in high feather. It was the occasion of the eighth annual ball given by the Omaha Me- tropolitan Fire Department's Relief association. Over 1,200 couples were on the floor and when George Green and his military musicians turned in the general alarm that set all the merry throng a-reeling in their hose. Fire laddies were never more in de- mand, unless it was at a fire. No Chance for Others. It seemed as if Percy and Ferdie and Ethelbert and all the other dear boys just couldn’t get a girl to dance with. But the lads in the blue uni- forms and brass buttons had 'em in plenty and to spare, in fact, they were all cluttered up with femininity. It started out with a one-step to the tune of “Everbody Loves a Lover,” it looked as if everybod (speaking from the viewpoint ofy Percy and Ferdie), loved the firemen. Along ahout 1 o'clock it got to be. such tough sledding for the civilian swains, that Chief Salter was cor- nered and applications by the score for jobs as fi‘;e-utlnx demons were - | thrust upon him, Even George Powers, the mail car- rier (with emphasis on ‘the’), found himself hard put until Clyde Dunn, who was busy i the box office, loaned him u couple of girls. Most Successful of All From every angle, the annual dance was a pronounced success. According to Walter Foran, the affair, which was the most successful of any of the so- cial functions ever sponsored by the Omabha fire department, will net close to $1,800 for the relief fund. Commis- sioner Withnell and Chief Salter helped promote the event and were aided by Battalien Heads John W, Simpson and Martin Dineen. Others to help were: George G. Crager John W. Hasburgh John Coyle John F. McKale Samuél R. Faulkner Walter Foran Robert Ollver Bsau Gardner J. L.

Johnson, state engineer, matures. In a letter to the Omaha Automobile association he advocates the passing of a law at the next session of the legislature extendinr the authorjty of the present Board of Irrigation, High- ways and Drainage to the supervision of all county roads connecting county seats. The board, according to his letter, would take these roads and in the course of from four to six years build them up to such a perfection as to be the model for all ¢ity and town highways. There would be no added expense to this plan, he adds, as the members of his department could do the work without interfering with their present duties. That a much larger portion of federal money for the improve- ment of Nebraska roads might be ob- tained if this plan is carried through is also brought out in the letter, Commerce High School Dance at Auditorium The Twelfth B class of the High School of Commerce has invited all the students, alumni and teachers of the school to attend an entertainment and dance to be held at the city Audi- torium néxt Friday afternoon and evening.
