On the gable of the North Pacific
Dental college the dove of peace alts
again and preens its snowy feathers,

By stipulation of Interested counsel
the suit for an accounting and the ap
pointment of a receiver, brought by
Director H. P. O'Connor against Dr.
Herbert ('.Miller, the president and
dean of the faculty; Dr. John Welch,
vice-president and director, the college
and the TlUe Guarantee and Trust com
pany aa trustee, has been dismissed.
The order of dismissal was entered by
Presiding Judge Oeorge in the circuit
court yesterday afternoon.
In hla ault Dr. O'Connor declared that
false entries had been made In the min
utes of meetings, resulting In bis being
deprived of his rights. He accused Dr.
Miller and Dr. Welch of voting them
selves salaries for sinecures and of
squandering the funds of the Institution,
whloh ha contended was in a bad finan
cial condition. In his petition he asked
the court to require the officials sued to
account for more than 1 10,000 of the
college funds, and to place a receiver
In charge.
The defendants' answer made a gen
eral denial of the allegations contained
In the complaint. Demurrers and mo
tlons were argued, submitted and de
cided, and within a few daya the suit
was to have been set for a hearing. In
the stipulation of dismissal the basis of
settlement Is not given-and all the law
yers connected with the case are reti
cent. Neither aide to the controversy
Is to be assessed costs. r
DESPERATE ASSAULT
MADE ON TWO WOMEN
Three Men Cruelly Beat and Rob
Belle Baker and Jen
nie Smith.
A desperate attack was made last night
on Belle Baker and Jennie Smith, colored,
by two white men and a negro. In a room
In a north and house. In the encounter
the Baker woman was choked almoat Into
Insensibility, while her companion was
knocked to the floor by a vicious blow
from the negro assailant, who waa ar
rested later.
While the Smith woman was prostrate
on the floor the two white men tried to
tear a valuable diamond ring from the
Baker woman's linger, but failed. The
negro took a IS gold piece from her
purse, however, and then the trio fled
from the premises.
Down north Third street they raced
with the Baker woman In pursuit, bare
headed and coatleaa. At the top of her
voice aha waa screaming to pedestrians
to stop the thieves, but no one did so,
and they escaped across the steel bridge.
Captain Moore was notified at police
headquarters and sent Detective Welner
to the scene of the daring robbery. A
quick sesrch in the neighborhood resulted
In the arrest of the negro, who gave his
name as Charles Wilson. He Is In Jail,
charged with larceny and assault and
battery.
The police believe that a desperate gang
of criminals, whose object Is to plunder
by attacks such as the one Isst night, has
come here. Kf forts were made to capture
the two white men, but the police were
unable to locate them. The women who
were so brutally attacked declare they
will be able to Identify the men.

Case Such as to Require an In

Sick and neglected, a paralytic,, who
haa entirely loet the power of speech.
John Lindstrom lies in a smsll room lo
cated In the rear of a barn at 411
Fourth street. Through what the county
court believes was poor Judgment on the
part of those having charge of his wet
fare the man la now a pauper.
Lindstrom Is K3 yeara of age. He be
came helpless about 20 months ago, at
which time he owned a houae and lot
at aft Tabor worth St.000. On this
property wss a mortgage held by M. W,
Wilklns for S700. The county court
appointed J. Freiburg guardian of the
old man. .
Wilklns uprehased the Mt. Tabor prop
erty for $2,000. paying f 1.300 In cash
after the mortgage hsd been satisfied.
At that time he offered to take the
property and care for the aged owner
during hla life In payment, but Attor
ney Oeorge P. Lent, representing the
guardian, thought this plan not for
I.lndstrom's best interests, and so the
house and lot were purchased by WU
An arrangement. It la claimed, waa
afterwards entered into by which WU
kins took Lindstrom to his home and
ems to take care of him ai the rata of
$2 per day when he was too 111 to help
himself In any manner, snd 21 a day
wien he ahould be able to be upon hla
reel. Twenty, monins nave eiapsea anu
the money la gone. Wilklns received
120, aa his receipts given Freiburg
show, and the remainder was expended
In attorney's and guardian's fees and
the purchase Of clothing and other neces
saries.
Ten daya ago Attorney Lent appeared
before th county court and aaked that
Lindstrom be sent to th county hospi
tal. The next day Wilklns went to the
court bouse and Insisted that the aged
man be taken to the hospital Immedi
ately. He declared that if th wagon
had left for that Institution on the day
In question he would take Lindstrom
out In his buggy.
Pending an investigation of the ac
counts, aa not everything appeared sat
isfactory to the court, no order sending
Lindstrom to the hospital waa adopted.
It Is th opinion of the court that he
should have been sent there before his
laat cent of money waa dissipated.
Mrs. Wilson, a member of the city
board of charities. Informed County
Judge Webster yesterday afternoon that
Lindstrom Is In a pitiable condition.
"He lies In a rear room of a barn st
Wilklns' place." said Mrs. Wilson. "Hla
