SHOLES CASE NOW RESTS WITH THE JURY Hard Fancht Personal Injury "alt Finally Submitted and Twelve Mfl Art Jfon Tinny with Ita Technical I'olnta. ' colored man was recently excused m a Jury Jn Kana City because other aron said they could not conscientiously serve with a negro. Growing- out of this action of the court In Missouri a movement has been started to have Judge McCune, who excused tho Hejrro, presented before the legislature for IniDcnrhment. The movement la directed ty negroes who Insist that they will push it to a finish. On a Jury In Judge- Kennedy's court a black man Is serving, who was accepted by both sides. No white Juror has raised a word of objection. - The chances are, too, that the eleven, white men will have to be associated with the colored brother for quite a spell, lie In on the Jury which heard thn case of Miss Hoscovek against the Street Rallwny company for the fourth time and which has been contested with something of bitterness by the at torneys on both sides. A quick verdict Is not looked "for. Tho Jury Is now out. Miss Hoscovek asks for tX.XO. Sholes Jorjr Disagrees. Since B:f Thursday afternoon the Jury In tlie Sholes-Penold personal Injury case has been confined to a Jury room, wrestling with the merits of tho matter. The trial of this) cauKe ."onsumod a week of time and It Is full of technical, points concerning flash lamps and tho different kinds of powders used In the same, particularly the latter. Mr. Sholes is an amateur photographer who bought a flash lamp outflt from the defend ant company. After he had had It a year, but not always In uw, It exploded one Sun day evening In his home while he was ex hibiting Its workings to some friends. His left arm was amputated below the elbow as a result of his injuries. The claim Is set up that he was not given suftlclent warning of the dangerous character of the powder and that lie sustained the Injuries due to the explosion by reason of the carelessness or neglect t the defendant company. He sues for 1S,(Ki0. The Jury In the damage case of Lewis Sholes against the II. J. Penfold company reported lust evening that It could not agree on a verdict after thirty-six hours' deliberation. It was therefore discharged by Judge Ttcdick. Cartes Case Not Finished. When the state rested Just before noon Friday In the Carter case, on trial before Judge Day, defendant's attorneys moved for dismissal on the ground of Insufficiency of evidence on the part of the state to sus tain the charge of burglary against the prisoner. The court overruled the motion and the tase Is still proceeding. Carter's defense Is that he was an agent for and was selling the character of goods found In Ms possession, which the state alleges, were stolen In a raid on the store of the Tootle Kessler Millinery company. George Clark, the white boy who used a rsor to lay open the back of a companion while drinking, vns given three months In J.ill on the verdict of assault and battery found by the Jury- District Tonrt Notes. Sylvia Lesle has filed a suit In district court against Samuel Goldsmith, In which she seeks to recover Jl'.5uo for alleged as sault and battery. . John C. Cramptey Is suing the Kountze Memorial Evangelical Lutheran Church corporation for (I.Got). This sum Is asked as damages for the loss of a linger while working on the new church building now being erected on Karnam Btreet. , Mrs. Susie Cottrell has filed a motion for a new trial In tho personal Injury suit which Judge Estelle took from a Jury on Tuesday. Mrs. Cottrell asked damages from the city for a fall she ullegefi a de fective street crossing was responsible for. Judge Troup has named Charles O. Mc Donald, an attorney, as guardian ad litem of Ide. Bayard and Mildred Eller, minors, who are Interested In a lawsuit now pend ing In the district court. Mr. McDonald succeeds Edgar S. Balrd as guardian ad litem. Josephine Williams Is the signer of a petition on behalf of many heirs of the late Sophronia Junes, which has Just been filed In district court. The plaintiffs ask that their Interests In the estate be ascer tained and defined and that a division be made accordingly under the direction of the court and that a receiver be ap pointed to collect the rents and profits of the en t ntiv and care for the same pending a decision. Emma A. Wqolsey and Andrew Johnson were united In marriage in January, lHh9, at Blair. Neb. She has now filed a peti tion In Douglas county, In which she says that the Judge who made out the marriage license In the happy days so long ago got her name as Emma A. Wilson by mistake. That errer is not given as the cause, but Mrs. Johnson alleges reasons for a separa tion recognUed by law and asks the cus tody of one child, aged s, and alimony. Maud Hollowell married her husband, Walter, tho first t'me at Sac City, la.. In March. 1W6. In January, 1W4, she was f ranted a divorce on statutory grounds, n March following she married Mr. Hol lowell a second time, as she says, on his f romlse to be good and true. This all In owa. Now comes Mrs. Hollowell In this county and asserts that her husband broke his promises shortly after the second mar riage and has also failed to supKrt her self and two children aged 8 and 6 respect ively; wherefore she asks a divorce and the custody of tho children.

ZJC 3.75 ENFORCING SIDEWALK ORDERS Police Follow Warnings with Com plaints that Will Brlngr De linquents Into Cotfrt. Sergeant Cook of the police station has filed about forty complaints In police court against parties who have failed to comply with the orders served on them to clear the snow from their walks. These com plaints are against downtown parties, It being the idea of the authorities to begin enforcing the ordinance where the travel Is the heaviest. On Thursday the patrol men and sergeants made the -rounds and served notices where they were needed. Now those notices are being followed up with complaints. When Officer Davis called on a, South Thirteenth street widow Thursday after noon and told her of the ordlance regard ing the clearance of snow, the woman told the officer she la without a husband, unable to remove the snow herself and short of money with which she might hire the work done. . A bright . Idea then oc curred to her, which she conveyed to the policeman n this manner: "Now, see here, you are a fine large man and you haven't much to do. I'll get you a shovel and Just you get off your coat and clean my sidewalk, and the Lord will bless you." While Officer Davis has sympathy for the widows and the orphans, he does not think It within the province of a policeman on duty to clean a sidewalk. Attention, M. W. A.

SICK AND DESTITUTE, BUT SILENT Mary and Martha Carr Battle for Existence Alone Inttl Sickness Bring Their True Con- dltlon to Light. Mary Carr, 66 years of age, living at Fit teenth and Kavan streets, was struggling with an old saw and piece of wood, when a neighbor dropped in Thursday morning to inquire whether anything was needed in the way of food or fuel. The woman's twin sister, Martha Carr, was In the bed, the aged women having taken turns that morn ing and the previous night In maintaining enough Are to keep bodies and osuls to gether. Both were partially ill and neither equal to the task of sawing wood, but, with their Celtic pride, they struggled along and were loath to make known their condition. The case was reported to Superintendent Morris of the Bureau of Associated Chart ties by the neighbors. Mr. Morrls'lmmedl ately Investigated and found conditions as represented. The sisters have been given what assistance they tieed. The Carr sisters live in two rooms at, the number mentioned. For years they have eked out a livelihood by taking In washing and ironing, which they did with unusual ability. The recent weather told on their health, but both managed to keep up until Wednesday afternoon, when Mary took to her bed. In less than Ave minutes the other sister also went ot bed. Thursday morning they were soma better. When Superintend ent Morris called to investigate the case the sisters told him they had taken turns all the night before and Thursday morning sawing up branches of tree they had gath ered in the south part of the city. . Poverty-Stricken But Neat. "Have you any money at all?" asked Mr. Morris of one of the slaters! "No," was the reply. Mr. Morris looked around the room and noticed that , an unusual neatness pre vailed, which was In striking eon trast to the women's material and physical welfare. He noticed particularly the stove, which bore evidence of recent treatment with a brush and polish. He was about to speak again, when Mary Carr said: "No, we have no money, and, to tell the truth, we spent our last nickel yesterday for stove polish. You might not believe that, but it is so. - We always like to have things clean for fear some one might drop In to see us. And don't you think the stove looks nice? And then we feel sure the good Lord will provide and provide better if we keep the stove polished and the floors scrubbed." Mr. Morris became more Interested in the quaint pair of spinsters and engaged them in further conversation. He learned that they had always lived together and are as alike in their ideas of life as they are In physical resemblance. "It is one of the most interesting cases I have had occasion to Investigate since com ing to Omaha last fall," said Mr. Morris. frl Sommer Bros. Exponents of Good Living. 28th and Farnam Sts.
