THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE; SEPTEMBER 14, 1919. 7 A USELESS HORSES R0VE A PLAGUE v Ati a it I U IUFMAHAho State Suffers From 1,000,000 Animals Who, Owing to Dif ficulties. Cannot Be Put to Use. One million head of useless horses eating their way across Montana's plains have brought to that state itj greatest curse, according to Hughie Hunter rancher of Miles City, Mont. Figures compiled this summer by the state veterinary of Montana es timated the number of useless horses in the state at a little more than J,000,000, according to Mr. Hunter The 1,000.000 useless horses con- Briej City News nme 30,000,00 pounds of fodder Jsverv day Thousands of miles of ranch country are yielding up their I fruits to the army of horses. M ino matter now many norses a Montanan may own or what may be their quality, he cannot ship them to market," aaid Mr. Hunter. They will not bring enough on any mar ket to pay for the freight It it against the state law to batcher them. "A nan with a large herd of horses is worse off than broke. The animals are pests which eat up their todder without a single cent of return." J. B. Long of Great Falls, Mont, brought a friend to his ranch one day early in June, according to Mr. Hunter, and allowed the friend to choose 1,000 head of horses from his herd. Long gave the friend the horses free of charge, but the lat ter had to sign a contract that he would have them off Long's ranch before July 1. The contract was completed and the new owner of the horses con signed one load to Kansas City to test the market. The load lost him $500. "And he didn't have to pay a cent for the horses, either," Mr. Hunter commented. o Demand City Shortage Out of Bertrand Bond W. G. Ure, city commissioner in charge of the department of public accounts and finance, has notified the Foster-Barker company, that the city will claim $3,290.12 against the bond of George E. Bertrand, former clerk of the municipal court. The amount in question is alleged shortage during the period of Mr. Bertrand's service, from March, 1916, to January, 1919. The former clerk recently assured Mr. Ure that any shortage claimed by the city would be made eood bv him. and. after a personal check Mr. Ber trand admitted to Mr. Lire that the books did not balance. Mr. Ure stated that the condition of Mr. Bertrand's books indicated that loose methods of keeping ac counts caused the shortage. No criminal intention has been charged. The city has made two checks of the, books since last January.

DIVORCES ASKED BY MOTHER AND DAUGHTER BOTH Son-in-Law "fytept on Stand in Mother-in-Law Case. E. L.

Tony Sculla. 19 years old, 3905 North Thirty-sixth avenue, was shot and seriously wounded by Emergency Policeman Lloyd Bolar at 4:30 yesterday morning while at tempting to escape following an un successful effort to burglarize the coal office of the C. W. Hull com pany, Twentieth and Izard streets. The wounded boy was taken to the police station in the patrol wagon and attended by Dr. A. J. Edstrom, police surgeon. Sculla will recover, it is said. He was shot in the back and legs. He is being held on a charge of breaking and entering. Fired as Last Resort. Bolar was commended for the excellent judgment he exercised. According to witnesses, he called four times to the fugitive to stop running and only fired when Sculla refused to obey and was nearly a block distant. Contrary to the orders , of Police Chief Eberstein and the policy of Commissioner Ringer, Bolar did not shoot to kill. Eberstein's instruc tions to his men are to shoot to kill any one attempting to elude offi cers, regardless of the extent of the crime of which they are suspected. Mr. Ringer's approval of this policy and his numerous attempts to whitewash policemen who have allowed themselves to be governed by it, resulted in the death of Eu gene Scott, the Plaza hotel bellboy, two weeks ago, it is charged, and the subsequent indictment of De tectives George Armstrong and George Brigham for manslaughter. Bolar ignored the instructions of his chief, disregarded the policy of the police commissioner and refused to adopt the lawless tactics of the morals squad. Though the policeman saw Sculla emerge through an open window in the rear of the building and attempt to escape, he did not shoot imme diately, but gave chase to the fugitive. He followed the boy for a distance of nearly a block calling to him to stop. When the com mand was refused after being given four times, and Sculla was nearly a block away. Bolar raised the shot gun to his shoulder and fired low to avoid unnecessarily taking another human life. Sculla is said to have confessed Creighton U News Briefs Registration for Creighton Medi cal college will begin September 20 and for the Dental college on Sep tember 25.
