They were not ordered to suspend work by either myself or he other trustees. Nor did we promise them a certain mmmrnm Not always are the hardships and I hunted him up and gave him back the money. "I did ask him to buy me enough lumber to build a flume, while he was placing his order, so that I might get it Cheaper. He said that he would make me a present of the lumber or give me enough money to buy it with. I think he offered me $300.

I again refused to accept it and I never got the lumber." Ingalls Also Criticized. In spite of his protestations of innocence many people at Sparks are criticizing Trustee Ingalls. They say that for his trips to California, when he went to inspect heating systems, that he drew from the school treasury about $175 for personal expenses in direct violation of the law. Further that he received about $100 from the school treasury for lobbying for the bond bill at Carson and that he further charged the school treasury about $75 for livery hire. The horse he used was being pastured upon his ranch and belonged to a Reno woman.

Major Ingalls says all of these expenses were legitimate and had the Consisting of Hanan Son's Men and Ladies Spring styles of Boots and Oxfords.

Utz Dum's -'4 "As secretary of the board of health of the city of Reno at the next meeting: of the city council I will make a complaint against Dr. HepDner. charging him with violating sections 18 nd 32 of ordinance 34 of the city of Reno, relating to the health of the city, and will make this complaint on the following grounds: "First, Jhat Dr.

Heppner took a patient to the pest house supposed to be Buffering from smallpox, without first reporting the matter to the city board of health and gaining permission from dangers encountered by man in his eagerness to snatch the treasures of Mother Earth made known for it is seldom that he who undergoes hardest trials lives to tell the tale. Yet occasionally one who seems to be especially favored by fortune, does linger on death's door, fears the abode of dark Pluto and with superhuman effort draws himself back to the upper light and the realm of the living. Such an experience has fallen to the lot of J. F. Mathews, a man who some five years ago was well known about Reno having made his home in Washoe Ladies', Misses' and ChiJdre'ns freight rate.

We did tell them they would be able to obtain a certain rate, and they obtained it, I can prove this by Mr. Robert Coughlin, who was associated with Mr. Robb for a time in the contract. "Nevertheless the sum of $1510 was allowed. Mr.

Nicholas approved it and Trustees Summerfield and O'Brien voted for it. The voucher was issued again and again I asked that the school superintendent announce his disapproval. The bill, however, was approved by him and the money paid." The Final Payment. When asked why the building was accepted and the final payment made. Trustee Ingalls said: Per Month Alimony.

Judge Curler held a busy session in the district court today and succeeded in settling the differences of twelve unhappy married people by granting six divorces. Following were the cases: Lottie E. Dougherty vs. Thomas Dougherty, decree granted; children given to custody of plaintiff and house i and lot set aside for support of the children. Millie Carpenter vs.

John.W. Car-j penter; degree granted plaintiff on ground of failure of defendant to pro- vide. Violet W. Kelsey vs. Henry C.

Kel- sey; decree granted palintiff and or- dered that defendant pay plaintiff $40; per month alimony. Emma J. Cass vs. Edwin B. Cass, decree granted plaintiff.

A. E. Lovett vs. Ella M. Lovett, de- cree granted plaintiff as prayed for.

W. B. Thomas vs. Flora V. Thomas, i decree granted plaintiff as prayed for.

In the case of Anna G. Strand vs. that board to put the patient in the county for some time previous. Mr. Mathews encountered these experiences while in Alaska and he gives a very vivid account of them in a let- sanction of his fellow trustees.

O'Brien Makes Statement. Trustee O'Brien, who is a dispatcher with the Southern Pacific, says that Florsheim's high grade Shoes and Oxfords in colors for men. Men's and Ladies' white Canvas Shoes, Boots and Oxfords in all sizes and widths he voted for the allowance of all the claims of the contractor for the sole reason that they were approved by the supervising architect. He says that he had implicit confidence in Mr. Nicho las and that he always acted in good faith.

Mr. O'Brien has been in the employ of the Southern Pacific for many years and acted as a school "On the evening of December 26, 1905, the board met to receive, the" report of the architect. He gave his approval to the building and recommended that the final payment of $3717 be made. "I opposed both suggestions. However, the building was received, the resignation bf the architect was accepted and a vote of thanks was tendered him by the other two trustees and I was ordered to draw a voucher for the $3717, the final payment.

I did so but the next day I wrote a ietter to County School Superintendent Craig, in which I asked him to hold up the final payment until the expiration of 35 days, the time allowed by the contract, until an investigation could be made trustee at Wadsworth for several terms before he removed to Sparks. Ex-Trustee Summerfield is now at Mina and his statement could not be obtained. Extravagant Purchases. The claim of the trustees who hand Ladies' Misses' and Children's White Canvas.

He says: "I went to Iliamnia lake, western Alaska, on the 8th of, November, 1905, to be gone thirty days to sample a copper property. I had an agreement with the manager of the N. W. Steamship Company that the steamer Dora would land me in Iliamnia bay and call and pick me up on her return from the westward, about ten days later. The steamer Dora blowed out to sea and becamo a derelict for 88 days and I was waiting there on a rock with very little to eat for her return.

I waited three months, from the 27th of December, 1905, to the 23rd of March, 1906, then I heard of a Frazier river fish boat at bay that was beached two years before. I went there and dug It out, got it into the water and struck out to cross Cooks Inlet, and with good going should have made count of the unusually severe weather the trip in about four days, but on ac-I had my face and hands badly frozen but succeeded in reaching Seldovia on the 23rd of April, and from there took the steamer Portland, reaching home here at Portland on May 11. I was very pleased to find my family safe-, and well, though I can assure you they were pretty well worn under the strain of not having heard of me or knowing my whereabouts." Mr. Mathews is not at all undaunted by his harrowing experience and writes that on June 1st he will sail again from Seattle for Nome. pest house.

"Second, with putting a patient suffering with measles in the pest house with a patient suffering with a severe case of smallpox and thus putting the patient suffering with measles in danger of becoming infected with smallpox. "It is my duty as secretary of the board of health to swear to a complaint against Dr. Heppner and have him arrested for violating these ordinances, but I will first refer the matter to the city council and ask the advice of that board on the matter. "For the past week there has been a ratient named W. II.

Ball in the. pest house suffering with smallpox. Dr. Lewis has been treating him and a few days ago, when Dr. Lewis went to the pest house to treat his patient he discovered another man therer supposed to be suffering from smallpox, but really suffering from measles.

He did not know how this patient had been placed in the pest house and came to me with the matter. We investigated and found that Dr. Heppner had taken the man there in the night time and without the consent of the board of health. We called Drs. Gibson, Walker and Thoma into consultation and the opinion of all was that the man was suffering from measles and not from smallpox." It appears that the man who is a Swede, and who has been working around the saloons of this city, thought that he had smallpox and went to Dr.

Heppner and that Dr. Heppner, in order to protect the people of the city, took the man 'to the pest house. The next day Dr. Heppner was called to San Francisco where he is a the present time. Dr.

Heppner cannot be seen, but while on a train en route to the city he told another physician of this city that he thought the man he had taken to the pest house was suffering from B. F. Strand, ordered that summons be published. The case of Anna C. Dennis vs.

R. Dens was tried and submitted. and when asked by Representative Scott of Kansas, a member of the committee, "how about the rope and other foreign matter found with the scraps on the floor," Mr. Wilson explained that what was probably seen in this instance was the string on the knuckle end of what had been dried beef. This string was used with which to hang the beef in the smoke house, and when the beef was sliced off this knuckle end was left.

There was a bone in it. and he said it was Impos-sibe to it. The bone would smash the machine if an attempt was made to use it. "I do not believe Mr. Neill got any statement from any one that were: going to chop these pieces up.

If he did it was from some one who did not know or he did not get the whole statement." Representative Haskins asked about the dry floors. pended for construction and equipments The complaining taxpayers reply that in addition to the thousands paid as extras upon a poorly constructed building the trustees wasted several thousand dollars in the purchase of school furniture. TELLS OF PACKING INDUSTRY into everything pertaining to the erection of the building. "I had been informed that the edifice had not been built according to contract, and I laid the matter before Mr. Craig.

He conferred with me a some length and suggested that we make the final payment upon condition that the contractor, give a bond to make good any defects in the building. I said I would confer with the other trustees about this proposal but in the meantime the payment was made, upon the approval of Mr. Craig and no bond was ever given." -Charges of Attempted Bribery. "It was at this meeting," said Trustee Ingalls, "that Contractor Robb appeared with a letter which he presented to the schol board charging me with soliciting bribes from He saic" in this letter that he had refused to meet my demands, and that as a result I was opposing his claims and trying to prevent the acceptance of the building. "In this letter he claimed that I had borrowed from him upon one occasion the sum of $25, that upon an Continued from Page One operation of preparing canned meats Gazette ads bring results.

When a member of the city council was seen in regard to the matter this afternoon, he said: "The case has not been brought before the city council yet, but when it is I do not believe that we will take any action on it. but will pass It up to Dr. Robinson, secretary, of the city board of health. From all I have learned in the matter It seems to me to be a fight between the physicians, and not a matter in which the city council can interfere." Following are the sections Dr. Heppner is accused of violating: Section 18.

Whenever any physician finds that any person whom he is called upon to visit has a communicable disease, dangerous to the public health, he or she shall immediately report the same to the board of health, giving the street and number or location of the house. No physician who may, in good faith, in obedience to these regulations, report a case as one of communicable disease which subsequently proves not to be such, shall be liable to a suit or damages for such error in reporting. Section 32. Any person who shall fail, neglect or refuse, to comply with the provisions or requirements of this Mrs. Martha Jackson, an old negro washer woman, who for many years has resided on a lot on Second street, near Center, today sold her property for $14,000 to Pierson Cafferata, who later transferred it to the Farmers' and Merchants' National Bank.

Several years ago. Mrs. Jackson bought this property for $700 and since that time has lived on it in a little frame building and has taken in washing to earn a living for herself. After the deal was made today Pierson Cafferata wanted to give Mrs. Jackson a check for Vhe amount, but she insisted that she be gven cash and in compliance with her wish the money was given to her in gold.

She counted every dollar of it and then deposited it in the Farmers' and Merchants Bank. Going to Chicago. Dr. F. J.
