MISCHIEF OF INDIAN CREEK
Stream's Impulsive Ways OauBo'Exponse to

ITS CONTENTS ARE SAID TO BE IMPURE
Property Owner Whom ; PrcmlncM

AKKcrtft Dint CrccU In Utilized
nn Muiilcliml Scrrcr ,
The first of the many suits arising out of
the flood caused by the overflow of Indlau ]
creek which It Is anticipated the city will
have to contend against wan brought In the
district court yesterday. Wilson Smith ,
who owns a largo tract of land In the south
western portion of the elty , asks the court
to grant a judgment against the city In the
amount of $2,900.
Smith contends that Indian creek Is used
by the city as a passageway for the sewerage
syntorn of the town and that In consequence
the water of the creek U foul , putrid and un
healthy. The 'former ' course of the creek ,
Smith claims , was changed by the city seas
as to bring the present channel In close
vicinity to his property. The creek , ho in
sists , has been maintained since the now
channel -was constructed In such a faulty ,
negligent and Impracticable manner as to
cause the filthy and putrid water to stand
and become stagnant In the vicinity of and
adjacent to his property. The offensive
odor of the stagnant water Is such , he says ,
at > to render the premises on his property
unhealthy and dangerous for habitation. On
this account ho asks the court to award him
$2,500 of the city's money.
Smith further sets up that he has leased
his property to otio Charles Hartman.whose
crops were damaged by the overflow of the
creek to the extent of $400. He says Hartman -
man has assigned his claim to him.
Creek In n Problem.
Indian crock presents a serious problem to
the olty authorities and ono for which no
practicable solution has as yet presented It
self. The cleaning of the bed of the
treacherous little stream will , H Is estimated
cost eeveral thousand dollars , and it is moro
than probable that the next heavy flood thai
comes along will flll It up again. Owners of
property abutting on the creek In the north
part of the city have petitioned the council
to erect o number of dams from Bryant
street north to Elliott street. The sugges
tion Is made that with an expenditure of
about $500 a , number of "willow" dams can
'bo ' contracted that will prevent the high
water from cutting away the ( banks nnd
damaging the abutting property. About two
years ago , while Mr. Tostevln was city
engineer , a number of dams along this portion
tion of the creek wore constructed , but they
have fallen out of repair. The aldermen me :
yesterday as a committee of the whole am
Investigated the condition of the creek
where It Is proposed to erect the dams anc
will present a report at the oext meeting of
the council.
The tanks of the creek at Green streo' '
were considerably washed during the recent
heavy flood and adjoining property Is In
danger of subsiding Into the etrcam. The
attention , of the counclUlias been called to
the matter toy , Phil. Warehajm , one of the In
terested property owners , and this also en
gaged the attention of the aldermen yester
day. It Is expected that the work of cleanIng -
Ing the bed of the crook and raising the
banks wherever practicable will be com
menced early next month.

Tbo four cases against John Schicketanz ,
the Broadway barber , charced with keeping
his shop open on four Sundays , were tried
before Justice Vlen yesterday mornlnc. As
In the cases against Bcrnhardl and Sliver ,
the evidence was submitted on an agreed
statement of facts and resulted In an nc-
qultal for Scblcketanz , Justice Vlen holding
that shaving on Sunday had been proved by
the defense to"bo " a work of necessity. The
case against John Bohn , the proprietor of
the Ogden house shop , was tried In the
afternoon and resulted In a similar acqultal.
The sixteen cases thus disposed of will cost
the county close on to $100.
As the informations flled by the Barbers'
Protective association before Justice Frank
of Kec Creek township against Bernhardl ,
Silvers , Bohn and Schickotanz covered the
same dates as In the informations flled before -
fore Justice Vlen no warrants were Issued ,
the law providing that a person cannot be
tried again on the same charge after It has
been once disposed of. Not willing to bo out
witted 'the ' Barbers' Protective association
flled Informations yesterday against the as
sistants in Schlcketanz's and Slivers' shops
and aealnst the proprietors of the shops at
the Neumayor and Metropolitan hotels , All
four of the defendants gave ball and the
trials are set for next Tuesday In Keg

The esteem In which the late Dr. P. S.

yesterday afternoon. The services , con
ducted by the Rov. W. S. Barnes , pastor of
the First Presbyterian church , of which Dr.
Thomas was a member , were held at the

The casket rested In thn parlor , completely

thought there would be nothing to prevent

so far as being a member of the delegation

tl < - It of cr ml to .Supremo Court.
The motor company will at once take an
appeal to the supreme court from the de
cision of Judge Thornell of the district court
In which It was held that the franchise for
fifty years granted by the city council In
September , 1897 , was Invalid. John N.
Baldwin , attorney for the company , stated
yesterday that Immediate steps would betaken
taken to perfect the appeal and the supreme
court would bo asked to Advance It on the
docket because of Its unusual Importance.
Mr. Baldwin Is hopeful to secure a hearing
by October.
As to the legality of publication of
the ordinance In the midnight extra Issue
'of the local paper , Baldwin said he had
never regarded the question of Its publica
tion as vital to the case. Ha had always
held that this ordinance was In the nature [
of a quasl-prlvato contract between the city
and the motor company , and was not such
an ordinance the validity of which was de
pendent upon publication within a stated
time. In his opinion the validity of the or
dinance would not have been affected had it
not been published for a month after It
had received the signature of the mayor.
All that was necessary , ho said , to make
the ordinance valid and effective was the
mayor's autograph , and that had been at
tached within the proper tlmo limit. Further
Mr. Baldwin said :
"The decision will In no manner Interfere
with the operation of the road and matters -
tors will continue just as they are at pres
ent. There will be no withdrawal of the
commutation tickets. Wo confidently ex
pect that the supreme court will reverse the
decision of the lower court. "
Judge ThornelPs order gives each party
100 days In which to perfect an appeal.
Portlnnd Company Mnltcn Sliorvlnpr.
James F. Burns , president of the Portland
Gold Mining company of Colorado , flled in
the district court here yesterday a showing
that he has compiled with all the conditions
imposed by Judge Thornell In his recent de
cision setting aside the judgment of $717,025
secured by James Doyle.
The showing Is that Doyle baa been re
leased from jail and the contempt proceed
ings against him dismissed , and that the In
junction proceedings brought by Burns In
the Colorado courts to restrain Doyle from
prosecuting his suit In the district court of
this county have also been dismissed.
According to the papers flled yesterday
the only remaining action pending In the
Colorado courts Is the action Instituted by
Doyle taking the contempt proceedings
against htm to the Colorado supreme court
on a writ of error.
Judge Thornell has notified Doyle's loca !
attorneys that unless Burns can make a
sufficient showing ho will make a supple
mental order requiring Burns to pay them
$2,500 attorney fees.

dangerous to continue any further.
"The storm had become very heavy anc
the sea to the east looked like a wall. The
storm Increased in violence hour .by . hour
and I am satisfied the wind was blowing 100
miles an hour. The sea was sweeping over
the ship every moment and our progress was
llko climbing mountains. Most of the time
there was a dense mist and the wind came
in sharp , heavy gusts , as If being shol
from a gun. The storm lasted forty-eight
hours. It broke to the northwest at 12 o'clock
Tuesday , but continued stormy until this
morning. The entire crew behaved splen
didly. No ono had any rest till the storm
passed. The men In the engine room would
neb go to their bunks , 'but ' slept on 'the

'ram peritonitis and an autopsy today re
vealed In her stomach the handles of flvo
silver spoons and fifty cambric needles and
n the baucls nearly fifty needles and
About a year ago the woman told an attend
ant she had swallowed several spoons , but
an examination failed to dUcloie the pres
ence of any foreign object In her fttomach
and her story was regarded as simply ono of
the vagaries of her disordered mind.
The remarkable feature of the- case Is that
the woman never appeared to suffer any
pain or have any trouble with her stomach.
The bowls of the spoons are supposed to
have been corroded by the adds of the
stomach.
