William Fry, 28 yars old, was shot and
Instantly killed by City Detective Thomas
F. Callaghan at J: yesterday afternoon,
while escaping after being1 placed under
arrest, accused of theft. The shooting.
however, was purely accidental, the shot
being fired when the detective stumbled
and fell while pursuing the fugitive. The
bullet, from a forty-one-calibre Colts regu
latlon police revolved, struck Fry In the
hack of the neck at the base of the brain
and passed entirely through his head. The
hooting occurred at North Tenth street
and Avenue F. Fry had served two terms
In the penitentiary for crimes committed in
Council Bluffs.
On Wednesday, this week, police depart
ment reports Indicated that Fry had been
. trying to sell sugar in luo-pound lots In
p. the residence district In the vicinity of
Eleventh street. The sugar was presumably
tha product of some of the many recent
car robberies, and Chief of Police Froom
ordered Fry to be brought in. He was
not found until 2 o'clock yesterday after
noon when Detective Callaghan encoun
tered him at Tenth street and Broadway
and placed him under arrest. When told
iwhat he was arrested for Fry denied all
f t knowledge of the sugar Incident but con
aented to go peaceably to the station with
out having the wagon called.
When the two had reached Eighth street,
Fry made a sudden spring, breaking away
, from tha officer, and ran down North
I Eighth street and Into the alley In the
vfiTear of tha True block. II was fleeter of
PJfoor than the detective and Callaghan tried
to 'stop htm by ahootlncr Into the air. It
only Increased tha speed of the fugitive,
and gave him such momentum that whin
tie reached the rear of the SalUman coal
yards, near Seventh atreet, he easily scaled
the high plank fence. He was out of sight
iwnen the officer got into the yard.

l Boys declared that Fry had gon north
ron Seventh street, and Detective Callaghan
, was given the use of an automobile belong
tng to John B. Long, 29 South Main street.
After going north to Rohrer's park and
finding no trace of the fugitive, Callaghan
returned on Seventh street, and when Ave
nue F was reaohed boys who had been fol
lowing Fry pointed out his hiding place in
a vacant lot covered with bushes. When
Callaghan approached Fry again started to
run, taking tha middle of the street. Calla-
v Khan followed with his revolver in hand,
; Intending to shoot into the ground at the
feet of the fugitive. As he was running on
the unpaved street, slippery from a recent
ahower, he stumbled and fell -as ha stepped
on a street crossing. Tha fall caused the
revolver to be fired, and Fry, running like a
: deer 150 feet ahead, received the fatal
wound. There were many eye witnesses,
J and all stated, that the shot was aocidentlly
j fired. .-'"'!,

Y. P. Civic League of Illinois Alone
Bent 26,000 Letters Asking
C-Opewtlon.
Can This Great Public Interest He
Used, When Aroused, In a More
Important Cause?
The four Christian Endeavor societies
of Falrbury,, Neb, on August 2, 1910, sent
request to Mr.- Nicholas Longworth
aj)klng.er to stop smoking cigarettes.
This action was the climax of a discussion
following the reading of a paper on nar
cotics. Since then it hss assumed a nat
ional Importance.
While the use of narcotic Is a deplor
able thing and the victim of the drug
habit a wretched and pitiable person, the
endeavor and other societies have over
looked a ' matter much more serious, in
their neglect of the liquor drinkers, who
outnumber the drug ' victims and lady
moker 1000 to one. Contrary to the old
Idea that a drunkard Is a bad man, In
most cases he is a helpless victim of cir
cumstances which have been conducive
to the taking of stimulants, and he ha
fallen carelessly Into the habit, not know
ing the result. For this reason sympathy
rather than censure Is due tl)e drinker.
Equal sympathy end consideration are
due the family and relative who must
suffer with him and for 'him. Society,
fails to comprehend the situation. He Is
suffering from poisoning. Why should a
man be fined- or imprisoned for a case of
poisoning? It is not only useless, but de
stroy his chances of being cured, as well
a inflicts needless suffering upon - him
and his Innocent loved ones.
In view of our modern scientific knowl
edge it has been found to be better to
give him medical attention. A treatment
recently discovered by Dr. B, E. Neal la
now becoming recognised as a positive
antidote for alcoholic poisoning. The im
mediate acceptance of this cure as proven,
by the opening of 41 Neal Institutes In
the United States and Canada, with de
mands from large European cities for the
establishment of Neal Institutes there,
bring us to believe that this is the anti
dot and perfect specific so long sought
for. It 1 found to destroy immediately
all appetite for alcoholic liquor a easily
aa water extinguishes tire, leaving the pa
tient at the end of three days as free
from the taint of alcohol as a ten year
old child. The Neal method of treatment
is being accepted by the medical frater
nity wherever demonstrated a it is seen to
be harmless and effective.
Had Dr. Neal discovered a cure for
tuberculosis, every Christian Society and
woman' organization in th country would
have taken it up, not only sending pa
tients, but giving money and assistance
of all kinds. Yet there are more people
suffering from drink than from tubercu
losis. Dr. Neal does not nsk donations,
but he does wish to Interest the women In
his work and Invites a thorough investi
gation of his method of treatment and of
th results. This now makes available,
that which ha never been before, a Cure,
almost Instantaneous (3 Days), one or more
Institutes in each state, and a Home Cure,
equally effective, for those who cannot go
to th Institute. Th Neal Cure has not
failed in a single Instance, and the cases
of relapse have been tees than two per
cent and these only from evil associa
tions. Each patient is given a bankable
bond for hi money in case of failure to
absolutely take away within three days
any desire of liquor. This bond is backed
by th Neal Institutes Company, capitalised
for $1,000,000.00. This is merely mentioned
to give confidence to the friends of af
flicted persons, that they may know into
whose hands they are placing their loved
ones.
It is much more vital to the drinking
man to remove from him the desire for
liquor, than to merely remove the liquor,
for as long as the desire remains he will
get tli liquor. ( For this reason temper
ance organizations will promote their
cause by cooperating with the Neal In
stitutes. All Information a:s' book free.

sons needing such treatment will conic
