killed by the collapse of a bridge at Minne

atreel, Omaha.
The bridge was an old-fashioned wooden
viaduct across Superior boulevard at Knox
avenue. It waa being taken down and half
of it had been removed. The men had quit
working for the day Thursday when a
strong wind was blowing. It caused the
bridge to vibrate violently and the con
tractor ordered Ferron and another man
named Anderson to go out upon It to at-
tarn a rope which was to be anchored to
concrete abutment. While the men were
at their work a stronger gust of wind
caused the weakened structure to fall,
earning them with the wreckaKe to the
st i pet below. Anderson was also fatally
injured. A train of cars passing under
neath was caught and crushed.
Mr. Ferron waa 26 years old. He was
educated in the Catholic schools here. Hej

ago to take the Minneapolis Job. His wife I
had completed arrangements to go to hlrrt
on Tuesday to remain during the summer.
The body will he brought to Council Bluffs

cemetery.
City Auditor Shows
Condition of Funds
All Appropriations Made for the
- -
General Fund Used Some
Small Balances.
City Auditor McAneney has prepared hla
annual report for submission to the city
council at the meeting. It shows that all
of the appropriations made -for the general
fund were used, although small balances
remained In all of the funds with the ex
ception of the city electrician's department,
emergencies and city health, absorbing all
of the balances and leaving a net total
deficit of $1.0'.'8.73. The electrician over
drew his appropriation to the extent of
l-tt.97, and there waa a deficiency of $1,784.51
In the emergency fund. In the health de
partment the shortage of funds amounted
to $21.91.
The smallest balance was In the fire de
partment, $1.30, and the largest In the
engineering department, where Mr. Etnyre
found himself at the end of the year with
all of the work of his office well up to date
and a comfortable sum of $232 of hla
original appropriation unused.

1 Mert King Acquitted
on Holdup Charge
! Jurors Accept Alibi in Case Where
One Man Turned State's
Evidence.
J A Jurv In the district court yesterday
j aftPtnoon returned a verdict of acquittal
I for Mert King. Indicted on the charge of
j participating in the Fiiirmount park hold-
I tips on the evrnlnn of January 4. The
I submitted an apparently flawless line
of vldence. Identif Ins King as one of the
I lrl of mo'd, bandits who committed four
i robberies near' the park In the early part
of that evening.
The fltst pait of the evidence was the
confession of Gordon Bowers, wlro detailed
all of the happtnlnga of the evening, be-
j firming- with the discussion of the plan to
j " out 1101,1 "n somebody to get some
monp the bandits needed to buy drinks,
! with a full desct .ptlon of the park
Incidents and the movements of the men to
conceal their Identity after the crimes
were committed. Every part of this evi
dence was corroborated by a number of
witnesses, Including two of the holdup
victims. Meek and Bock, whose Identifica
tion of King as the man who searched
them and Into whose eyes they looked
while an electric arc light twenty-five feet
away was shining full upon his face. Ac
cording to Bowers' testimony the bandit
trio. King, Sculley and Bowers, were In
the park before 7 o'clock, and at 7.3S the
j flm robbery occurred
It was this definite fixing of time that
saved King. The defense put on the wit
ness stand Conductor Galhaugh. who said
he had known King Intimately since 1902,
and that on the nlpht of January 4 King
got off his car at Broadway and Eighth
street at 7:35 o'clock. He produced his
lime report for the day to show that It
was Just 7:35 when his car reached Eighth
street.
King's own testimony had been previously
given. In which he declared he got off the
car at Kighth street, out It was connected
with another remarkable statement. King
said he left Mortensen'a saloon on Slx
thenth avenue and Ninth street at 7:30,
walked three blocks east to Sixth street
and took a Manawa car to come up town
He left the car at Pearl and Broadway
and walked east to Main street and then
down North Main to Max Olsen's saloon,
a distance of two and a half blocks, where
he took another drink. He then left that
saloon and walked to the Jessen saloon,
near the Northwestern depot, where he
spent some time In drinking. He then took
a Broadway car and got off at Eighth
street, accomplishing the tremendous Jour
ney in Just five minutes. The Jury be
lieved It and accepted the positive state
ment of Conductor Galhaugh that King
got off his car at 7:35. By actual computa
tion the Journey would require more than
forty-five minutes.
King, however, does not get his liberty.
He was held on another Indictment con
nected with the park holdups, where the
prosecuting witness is J. W. Bock, one
of the four victims. He will be tried on
this Indictment at the August term of
court and will lie In Jail unleas he can
secure ball.
Pat Gunnoude and E. J. McKinley testi
fied to the good character of King, al
though they knew little about him In re
cent years.

necessary. i

liquors. There sre fourteen of the blank j
places and it haa been found In practice
that customers will not or cannot fill them
all In satisfactorily and as a result drug
gists have been subjected to many an
noyances and threats of prosecution for
personally aiding in the filling tn of the
blanks.
