George Matheson, the young man who
shot Deputy Sheriff Baker of this city at
Weston Thursday night, has eluded all
efforts of the authorities to capture him up
to a late hour laat night
Early yeaterday morning after continu
ing the search all Friday night. Sheriff
Coualns decided to call off the chase and
await the arrival of bloodhounds from
Beatrice, Neb. Messrs. Fulton and Morri
son of that city with four bloodhounds ar
rived in the city shortly after I o'clock
and at once drove to the scene of the
shooting at Weston. Accompanying the

Sabsalt Telephone Ordinance.
The city council decided last night at
the meeting specially called to consider
the matter that the question of granting
to the Western Iowa Independent Tele
phone, Telegraph and Terminal company a
franchise to operate in the city be submit
ted to the people at a special election to be
held June t.
The motion authorizing the submission of
the question to the electors and directing
the mayor to issue the call for the special
election was paased by the votes of Alder
men Casper. Lou gee. McDonald and Tlnley.
Alderman Olson voted against the submis
sion of the question, explaining that he did
so because he was of the opinion that the
business men generally of the city did not
favor the proposition of a second telephone
system. Aldermen Fleming, Huber and
Lovctt were not present.
This action of the city council will now
not make It requisite for the promoters of
the Independent telephone systevi to secure
a petition with the names of twenty-five
property owners in each ward calling upon
the mayor to call a special election. . The
question to be submitted to the electors,
which In this case will comprise a copy of
the ordinance, will have to be printed on
the ballots. All arrangements for the spe
cial election will be made by the city clerk
as soon aa the company seeking the fran
chise deposits with him a sum sufficient to
cover the expenses of such special election.
The ordinance will also have to be pub
lished In the local papers for a stated
period prior to the election.

gram.) This city experienced a cloudburst
at 1 o clock this afternoon and the rain
storm was accompanied by great quanti
ties of hail. The wind blew at the rate of
a mile a minute. The storm lasted for
nearly one hour, transforming the streets
Into river beds In which the rushing waters
swirled from curb to curb. The cellars of
many stores were flooded and much dam
age done to stock. The hall did considera
ble damage to fruit trees. The 'railroads
also suffered, the tracks being washed in
this vicinity and delaying trains for several
hours. A total of 2 58 inches of rain fell
during the storm.
The rainstorm converted the waters of
Perry creek into a raging torrent and
stirred up the body of Edward Dorum, a
prominent contractor, who mysteriously
disappeared February 25. The body was
seen floating down the creek toward the
Missouri river by several citlxens who res
cued it with long poles.

'Phone 17
handing hla revolver to Deputy Sheriff
Baker when in his excitement he Inad
vertently pulled the trigger. While In the
city Mr. Matheson engaged the services of
three of the leading attorneys to look af
ter his son's caae. It was stated at the
county court houae that the boy's family
had expreaaed the opinion that he was
temporarily Insane and that this plea will
be made in hla defense In the event of his
being brought to trial.
Members of the sheriffs force are dis
inclined to credit the theory of the shoot
ing being accidental aa advanced by the
young man's father. They have evidence,
they say, showing that young Matheaon
had made threats to the effect that If any
officer tried to place his hands on him
in connection with the robbery at Wil
liams A Barns' store he would shoot to
kill. It Is alao stated that the young man
when he left the houae with the officers
Thuraday evening had 103 rounds of am
munition In his pockets. In his flight and
whilst exchanging shots with Deputy
Sheriff Knox he reloaded his revolver three
times.
Deputy Sheriff Baker's condition laat
night was more serious than at any time
since the shooting and grave fears are en
tertained for his recovery. Dr. H. B. Jen
nlngs, the attending physician, stated laat
night that it would probably be necessary
to probe for the tullet today, as Its con
tinued presence In the body would and poe
albly had cauaed Internal inflammation.
Mr. Baker was suffering much pain and
was In a high state of fever.
