thing In the way of n good course of lectures ,
or Instructive talks , by well posted per
sons on any or all of the many subject' )
taken up by them could be brought about by
co-operation. Hut no decisive action was
taken In this regard until Wednesday morn
ing last , when the leaders of all the woman's
club In the city were requested to meet at
the homo of Mrs. Marshal Koys. The call
was fairly successful , the following repre
sentative club women responding : Mrs. Keys ,

of the problems that were creating anxiety.
Dr. Lawrence waa born In St. Lawrence
county , Now York , In 1S22. Ho waj educated
at the Kenfcfielacr Institute , New York City ,
and at the Vermont unlvcmlty , where ho

of Sardls , O. , was the next attacked , anil
ho was quickly folio-ed to eternity by
Thomas Klegg. an oil driller. Others who
were attacked by the same symptoms , but
are still alive , are Colonel Clcgg. Henry
Koth and a cook In a boarding house. His
name cannot be learned. About flftden
other persona are suffcrlni ; from the effects
of the poison. A number of physicians are
on the ground and hope to succeed In saving
their lives.
The county docs not grant liquor licenses
and to Bupply the demand for firewater
several parties have been peddling "speak
easy" whisky arounct thojficld on the quiet.
The whisky which caused' the trouble had
raw alcohol for a foundation , with a
dash of some sort of acid , anil evidently In
cluded , through accident or design , a deadly
poison. Great excitement 'prevails and thu
officers with a posse are scouring the coun

1'ollco Olllccr David Drown was brutally
assaulted by three men at 5:30 : o'clock Sun
day morning and Is now confined to his bed
with a number of severe bruises and a long
cut on his head. According to the officer's
version of the affair , ho was standing In
front of Stott's stationery store. . 210S N
street , at the hour mentioned , when three
men , all unknown to him , came along. Ono
of the men stepped up to him and said ,
"Hello , Paddy , " and as the officer turned
to return the salutation ho was struck a
blow on the head with some blunt Instru
ment and knocked down Into the areaway.
In falling the officer struck a large window
and broke a pane of glass. Immediately
after the blow was struck the three men
ran to Twenty-fourth street and turning
north soon disappeared. Officer Hrown
staggered to his feet nnd managed to get
to the corner of Twenty-fourth and N
Btrcots , where ho got to n telephone and
called police headquarters. In response
to the call for aid Officer niches hurried to
the corner and as the assailants of Lrown
were out of sight , turned his attention to
the wounded policeman. Surgeons were
called and staunched the flow of blood and
sowed up the long cut on the ofllcer's bead ,
after which ho was taken to a room nt one
of the hotels and put to bed.
U was at first thought that Hrown had
been seriously Injured , but after a few
hours' sleep ho awoke , refreshed , and told
his story of the assault. From the fact
that ono of the men addressed Brown as
"Paddy" It Is Inferred that the assailant
thought ho was speaking to Captain Mc-
Demough and not Officer Drown.
The doctors say that the officer's head
chows evidence of having : been struck with
some blunt Instrument , the cuts having
been caused by the fall. Nothing was found
on the sidewalk or In the areaway which
might have been used as a weapon and the
police are Inclined to think that a loaded
club or billy was used and was carried away
by the man who struck the blow.
A negro who was working about a saloon
across the street at the time of the assault
gave to Chief Hrennan a very good descrip
tion of the three men and the chief at once
went to Omaha and obtained assistance
from the police there to prosecute the
search for the men. From the description
given the chief Is satisfied that the man
who struck the blow was Patrick Ford , a
cousin of the notorious young Pat Ford ,
who escaped from the county Jailer about
a year ago. It Is known that Ford had n
grudge against Captain McDonough , who
arrested him for raising a disturbance ! a
month or two ago , and as the overcoats
worn by Officer Brown and Captain .Mc
Donough are similar , It Is surmised that
young Ford supposed he was assaulting the
night captain.
The officers visited all of the haunts of
the Ford boys In Omaha yesterday , besides
searching the homes of the Fords , but Pat
rick Ford could not be found. During the
afternoon the chief went to Council Hluffs
In an attempt to locate his man , hut did
not succeed. Officer Brown said that ho
dW not know any of the men who assaulted
him , but asserted that ho could Identify
them If he ever saw them again ,
1.3to lax' night thu Omaha police located
Ford at Metz's hall and placed him under
arrest. Ho Is now at the Omaha cltv Jail
awaiting the pleasure of the South Omaha
authorities.

The decision of Judge Keysor In the Cor-
tclyou case will open the way for mandamus
proceedings to bu commenced by others
having long standing claims against the
city. The city attorney will , It Is under
stood , appeal from Judge Koysor's decision ,
which orders the council to convene and
make a special levy to pay the claim.
At the tlmo many of thn Judgments were
being paid off Mayor Knsor called the at
tention of the council to the fact that thu
claims of longest standing ought tti be paid
first , but the finance committee refused to
comply with the suggestion of the mayor
and paid claims as It saw fit. The Cartel-
juu claim Is now four years old and about
half of the original claim was paid by thu
administration preceding thu ono now In
power. In case on appeal should not be
taken U Is inoro than HkelM ( hat the claim
will bu paid out of some of thu funds now
on hand and thus the expense of malting a
special levy will bu avoided.
