WHO SHALL BEING THE ACTION T It Lies Between the City Prosecutor, Board's Attorney and County At torney nnd Eaeh is Chary of Undertaking; the Job. Members of the Board of Education plan to discuss at the next meeting the question of what ought to be done abut forfeited appeal bonds from police court. The board has been moved to this-by the discovery that there Is the neat little sum of 82,500 awaiting suit and collection. A large percentage of the bonds given In police court when appeals are taken, is worthless. But some at least are supposed to be good It anyone will sue. Out of the seventy dismissals entered the other day In district court. Judge Sutton has revoked twenty-five and declared the bonds on these duly forfeited, so that suit can be brought. These twenty-five bonds are each for $100. Who Is to bring suit remains a hay question. C. E. Herring, former attorney for the school board, declares that it la the duty of County Attorney English, because tho bonds ure made out to the county. The bonds must be made out so, for the de fault of appearance. If this occurs, is a de fault In district court. But the school board is to profit and it seems to sums as if Kdgar Baird, attorney for the Board of Education, ought to do the work. Others think the labor should devolve upon City Prosecutor Dickinson. This is one aspect of the question which the Board of Education will take up for discussion. There Is raised by some people a still further point. Whether any of tho bondsmen are good for the $100. Judge Mitton showed that he thinks they are by his action In revoking dismissals on twenty-five out of the seventy. Civil suits will have to be fought to get the money, and there will be a great deal of painful work and litigation In order to collect, whoever does finally make the attempt. Woman Proves Much Too Strong : Told Court of Hubby Beating Her, but Went Too Deeply Into Particulars. Mrs. Nellie Clark, appearing In police court against her husband,' charged with beating and abusing her, told a story of too much prowess to secure a conviction... "He beat me and then he got a gun and threatened to use It on me," she walled. "Then I took the gun away from him and gave It to an officer." "You took "the gun ajvay from him?" "Yes." "Discharged," was Judge Crawford's de cision. Mrs. Clark appeared at the police station Thursduy night and appealed to the of ficers for protection. She delivered the re volver with which she says her husband threatened to take her life. She was lodged In the matron's department until police court opened.

Dorchester, Mass." Edward Turner, a boy of 6 years, has had four fathers In the course of his short life, but none of them has altogether made good. The first abandoned him, the second was killed by a train, No. 3 seems deficient In a way and likewise No. 4. A fifth par ent, whom It Is hoped will be able to qual ify both as to longevity and morals, will be found by the juvenile court. To begin wth, , Edward Turner's first father and mother, whoever they were, left him when 6 weeks old In a railroad train running into Sioux City. On this train a man named Edward Turner, who was an employe of the road, found the smiling, cooing baby and being without children of his own brought the Infant home and later formally adopted him. ; Had Turi.er lived all would have been well with the boy, but an engine killed the adopted father of the baby about four years ago, after Turner had removed to Omaha. Concerning father No. S little can be said, except that officers of the Juvenile court decided that It "would be well to remove the child. The baby was given to a sister j of the woman in whose care he last had been. ' Now It appears that to give the title "husband" . t father No. 4 of Edward Turner la stretching the language somewhat and therefore the probation officers have decided to find a fifth borne for the child. While the boy has been beating about from pillar to post and back to pillar again, the extreme youth of the child renders the situation . less distressing than It would otherwise be. It Is the habit of many babies to say "papa" or "dada" to every . adult male person who comes In sight, sometimes to the confusion of the said adult aoale.vBut If Edward Turner has this Jnstlnct de veloped to the point of hypertrophy, he need not be blamed. The baby will be a wise child, in sooth, If be knows his own father. ance from the Brandels. office building, be cause of the red brick with black mortar which are being used above the second story.

Grant Mills camt 10 Omaha Thursday to take his son, Charles, home to "Val paraiso from a hospital here, where he had undergone an operation. Friday morn ing, on the eve of the Intended Journey, the father was found dead In his lodgings at 803 North Thirty-fifth street The room was filled with gas leaking from the partly closed burner In the room. . Willis Crosby, coroner, with Detectives Murphy and Ring investigated and de cided that death was the result of accident rather than design. , Mrs. C. McCann, who runs the rooming house where Mr. Mills' spent the night, arose early Friday morning to find the smell of gas fumes permeating the halls. She ' traced it to Mills' room and there found him dead. . Thp Indications were that the gas had been' turned low and later flickered out, or, possibly, was blown out. Mr. Mills called on his son at Methodist Episcopal hospital Thursday afternoon and had a cheerful hour's chat with him. The young man had recently been operated upon at tho hospital and had sufficiently recovered to be taken home. Grant Mills Is a well-to-do farmer at Val paraiso. Ho was about 45 years old. He leaves a widow and several children. TO ,ANSWER FOOLISH QUERIES Union Parifle Adds to Battery of Telephones In the Union Station.
