DIES OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE Young Woman Suffering from Appendiciti Victim of "Divine Healer. " CORONER TREYNOR INVESTIGATES CASI SleU ( ! lrl IMcndn for Proper Medleu Trrnliiirnt , but a Hrpiititbli' iMijul- eltiii In DlNiiilftNril nnil She in Left to Dli . Five weeks ago Ethel Yates , a youni woman 19 years of age , came to this clt ; from Tabor. la. , on a visit to frlcads. A that time who was In the enjoyment of per feet health , but aboul Iwo weeks ago sh became HI and today she lies in her coflln the victim of her parents' belief In Chrlstlai Science or. as they term It , "the faith o divine healing. " The circumstances of her death , which oc curred Friday night , were such that Coronc Treynor decided they needed an ofllclal In veotlgatlon. Ho ordered an Inquest nnd pos mortem examination of the remains. Tit Inquest was commenced yesterday afternoon but after the testimony of three of the wit nessc * had been taken It was adjouruc < until Monday morning. The post mortem ex amlnatlon revealed that the young womai had tiled from appendicitis. Miss Yates , who Is the daughter of Mi and Mrs. P. U. Yates of Tabor , la. , cam here on a visit to the family of James Carter who resides at the Driving park. Abou two weeks ago aho was taken 111 and Dt Bellinger wan called to attend her. Won was sent to the mother and she came fron Tabor to attend her daughter. Mrs. Yatc was a firm believer In the ofllcacy of Chris tlan Science and one of her first acts 01 reaching the bedside of her daughter was t < dismiss Dr. lielllngcr and send for "Brother1 Janicw , a "divine healer" who lives li Omaha. James made his first visit to th sick girl last Sunday and spent nearly th whole night at her bedside praying and ex hortlng her to be of gootl faith and sh. . would recover. You it i ; Woman | M Im-rriliiluiin. The young womani did not believe tha1 the prayers of Healer James were benefit Ing her any and she repeatedly implorci Mrs. Carter to ask her mother to send foi a doctor. The mother refused and Inslstee that ] "Urother" James' prayers would sue ceed Ini making the girl well again. Finall ; Miss Yates herself asked her mother t < send for a doctor , but the mother was obdurate durato and refused to do so. Time ant time again the young women begged he : mother to Bend for a regular physician but all to no avail. Healer Jamesspcii every night of the week at her bedsldi praying , but the end had to come at las and late Friday night 'the ' young woman who but a few weeks before * had been tin very embodiment of physical health , was : corpse. James Carter , with whose family IMIsi Yates had been visiting , was the first wit ness examined at the Inquest. Ho test ! fled to the young woman being taken slcl and Dr. Bellinger being called in ; Urn when Mrs. Yates arrived the doctor wa dismissed and a faith healer from Omahi named James brought In by the mother The witness testified that ho repeatedly toll James that his prayers were doins the glr no good and that James Insisted he hai healed her. Carter asked James , he said why the girl did not get out of bed am James replied that while he had heale < her he "had not quite won the victory yet. ' To this Carter said he told James that hi "could pray till h 1 froze over and In could not save her. " The witness tvatlllei further that Healer James kept telling tin young woman ho could save her , but tha if she callc < l in a doctor she would be deai In twenty-four hours. Other Tentliuoiiy. The testimony of Mrs. Carter and of Mrs Miller , a friend who frequently visited a the Carter home while Miss Yates was 11 ! was practically the same as that of the firs witness. At thin point the Inquest was adjourne until Monday morning. The Jury is com prised of U. P. Olllccr , Andrew Clatterbucl and T. K. Cavln. Mr. nnd Mrs. Yates re turned to Tabor last evening with the bed ; of their daughter. Coroner Treynor , in discussing the case said that In his opinion both the mother an < the. . man James are responsible- the eleatl of the unfortunate young woman and tha he intended laying all the facts and tb testimony brought out at the inquest bcfnr the county attorney for him to deal with a the law directs. The fact that the girl wa suffering from appendicitis proved the ab solute necessity for medical attendance Coroner Treynor described the whole affai as brutal. He said : "Any person Buffering from nppendlcltl needs to bo kept perfectly quiet , but thes people Instead kept the unfortunate vlctlr of their crazy belief awake every nigh whllo 'Urother' James prayed. This mai James and the girl's mother are certain ) ; guilty of her death. 1 do not know If th law can reach them , but they certain ! should be made to answer for their uotbln ; less than crime.

As will bo scon by the wording of the resolution , the Ixmrd has been very careful to make the payment of the salaries of the sheriff and his deputies conditional on the earnings of the office being sufllclent. to do so. The deputies are J. C. Baker , W. A. Groneweg. G. L. Martin and Ed Canning nt Council Bluffs and J. > M. Long at Avoca. Harry Brown and Fred Peterson will act as court and grand Jury bailiff respectively In this city and Johnson nnd H. B. Crofts will occupy the same positions nt Avoca. The board decided not to approve the bonds of the four bailiffs , fearing if it did so such action would constitute them deputy sheriffs and make the sheriff's ofllco li able for their pay. The confirmation of their appointment and the approving of their bonds was accordingly left with the Judges of the district court. Justice Ovlde Vlcn , In making his set tlement with the board , hold back $190 , which ho claims the board should allow him for rent and expenses of his ofllce. The board decided to take no action on his report , but referred the matter lo the county attorney to take such steps as he might deem advisable ) to compel Justice Vien to turn the amount retained into the county treasury. At the morning session some of the members expressed themselves In favor of laying the matter before the grand jury. The annual report of County Recorder E E. Smith was approved , ho having withdraw ! his request to be permitted to retain $ " " . > ( as extra compensation. The report showi that whllo the business of the olllce ha ; been greater than any year since 1S87 the expense of running the ofllce has boc > n con siderably ICES. After paying all expense : Including the salaries of the recorder am his deputy , the olllce has netted the counts $ l,8CO.in , nearly $1COO more than in anj previous ye.-ar. With this showing Recorder Smith con sidered he was entitled to ask the boanl that his allowance for 1900 include hlf and his deputy's salary and the expon ol nil necessary clerk hire be fixed at $1,000 provided the fees of the office are sufficient , The request was referred to the committee on officers' accounts. A considerable amount of routine busincs ; was disposed of at the morning session. The boarel adjourned to Tuesday , January 1C , at 9 a. m. l.etn the .IiiiluiiientN Slniul. Judge Smith of the district court yes terday overruled the defendant's motion for new trials In the cases of Herman Herwlg and Henry ( Miller against Mrs. Amelia Berney.
