NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS ,
Baldwin Block Narrowly Escapsa Being
Burned to the Ground ,
ONE MAN VERY SEVERELY INJURED ,
By the Finnic * Confined
Entirely to the Olllucs on the Sixth
Floor Department Service
Not Itculi-cil. | .
Wright & Baldwin had intended to move
Into their new quarters in tbo Baldwin block
today , but they have changed their inlnda
and will not move In until sonio time In ttio
future. The cause of their chnngo was a
little blaze that look place In the top story of
the block yesterday afternoon. Harry Lenox ,
a painter , was nt work reeking a bowlful ol
the wax llnish with which the floor was
being covered , with the aid of a gasoline
steve , In some way the stuff became Ignited
and convnoncod to burn furiously. Ho
picked It up In his hands and sot It on the
Iloor , while 1'nlllp Loo. the Janitor , ran for
some water. Tbo bla/o was soon extin
guished without the aid of the tire depart
ment , although thu companies were on the
ground soon after the alarm was sent In.
Lenox's right Hand and arm wore badly
burned and Leo had ono stdo of his head and
fnco scorched. Neither of them were seri
ously Injured.
The damage done by the llamos was con
fined entirely to the otllccs on the slvth Iloor.
A largo liolo was burned In the Iloor , the
casement of ono of the largo folding doors
was almost entirely mined and the walls
were so charred and blackened by the smoke
that It will bo nccessnrv to renovate the
whole room. The damage Is estimated at
about SIM ) .
After the ( Ire department arrived on the
scene and found out that their services
would not bo needed they got out the "ele
phant" truck and proceeded to make an ex
periment , to son whether it would bo of any
use should a largo brick block over catch lire.
The men wore a trlllo green In managing it ,
but It was dually put In place and a man was
sent up thu ladder to the fifth Iloor. Whether
the chief of the department caiiio to the con
clusion that the experiment was a success Is
not known , but It amused a large crowd of
sDcoUtors , anyway.

case.Tho whole story of the assignment of the
firm of Klsoman & Co. is then gone over In
detail , with exhibits of the various mort
gages and trust deeds that prodeded the as
signment , and the assignment itself. It Is
alleged that the mortgage ] and the assign
ment were fraudulent and executed for the
oxpiess purpose of giving the preference to
the Jlnns of Ulco. Stlx & Co. , Stlx , Krause A :
Co. , and Ofllcer & 1'usey , who are made co-
defendants.
The plaintiffs allege that the Elsomans are
in reality the owners of tbo stock and fix
tures of the clothing store of which L. Ot-
tcnholmor Is the nominal owner , at 414
Broadway , and that Ottonholmer holds it
for the purpose of concealing It from the
creditors of the firm. They further claim
that S. I1. MacCannoll , the assignee of thn
bankrupt firm , knows thu purpose of thu
assignment and thu chattel mortgages and
knows that the Elsomnns are the real owners
of Ottunhulmor's store , but that he refuses to
take stops to sot aside the mortgages
or the assignment. The petition al
leges that pc rNOtial property to the amount of
$71.000 was sold and paid over to Macl'nnnell
and li now held by him on account of notices
ot garnishment. On these grounds the
plaintiffs ask that the mortgages and the
ussignment bo sot aside , and that
Ottcnhelinor's place bo declared to belong
to HUcman & Co. . and that It bo
placed In the hands of the creditors : that the
monov In the hands of the assl > : iioo may be
declared subject to the Hens of the plaintiffs ,

A MODISh OKKIOI3 BUILDING.
How the New S.lui art Block Looks
Since ItH Transformation and
the IliiHy I'ooplo Who
Iiiiuihit It.
For the past throe months workmen
have boon engaged in remodeling the
Shugart block , ono of the most oroinl-
nent and imposing buildings in the city.
It was built about eight years ago ,
largely for commercial purposes , with
the upper stories devoted to largo
apartments and halls , hut before the
era of modern conveniences. It
was ono of the best blocks
in the city to cominonco with ,
and last spring Mr. E. L. Shugart
decided to add every Improvement that
could bo suggested or required. The
work of remodeling was begun at the
top , and the transformation was contin
ued to the basement The work has
been finished and the result is one of thn
finest commercial and olllco buildings in
the west. The blocic could not bo bettor
situated , having a frontage on throe of
the host streets In the city , Main , Pearl
and First avenue , on the opposite corner
from the Grand hotel and facing that
pride of the city and envy of all other
cities , Bayliss park. The changes in
cluded the cutting up of the largo hull
on the fourth Iloor formerly used by the
Iowa business college , the remodeling of
the olllces on the lower llooru and the
addition of a rapid passenger elevator at
the Pearl street entrance. In addition
to those improvements are all the mod
ern conveniences , steam heat , water ,
gas , electric lights , baths , lavatories ,
closets , etc.
All the ofllcce , or a majority of them ,
are on suite. Each Iloor is provided
with a douhlo vault , there being seven
vaults altogether , giving each tenant
the use of a burglar and lire proof ro-
coptac o for his valuables. The exten
sive frontage gives ovoryollico and suite
outside windows with street views and
plenty of air and sunshine. All the
windows aropiotocted with hard wood
inside blinds. There are few small olli-
ccs in the building , but all of them are
airy and comfortable. Unllko many
olllco buildings , where what bhould have
been simply a four-t > tory utrncturo is di
vided into six or seven Hears , the
ceilings in the Shugart building are
twelve and fourteen foot hii'h. The
halls are all wide and wull lighted
with skylights that carry the bimshtno
down to the second Iloor. The wall or-
npmontation is rich and modest , and tno
woodwork is handsomely carved uud
moulded. The iipnrtmontB-nre BO coti'
vonlont and desirable tlii t > rAll but four
have been taken by busljldM and profos'
slonal men on long loaac and the ro
inalnlng ones will not bv.icaut ) ) , long ,
The block has two ontra c g , the clova
tor on Pearl street nndin broad , easy
stairway on Main street.-
Adjoining the elevator"'And ' opposite
the Grand notol on tho.'prttund ' Iloor Is
the commodious suite otoffices , occupied
by Day < fe Hess. F. J. Day , } s ono of the
pioneer real eatnto brokers of the city ,
and a short tinio ago ho widened the
scope of his business byforuung a part'
norshlp with Mr. J. P. Ifcss , a name
familiar to all old residents of western
Iowa , and stocks , bonds , securities , etc. ,
are now handled. They have olcganl
quarters , and tholr business is as per
inanont as tholr location. There is nt
firm in the weht that stands in closoi
touch with eastern capital or whose
business covers a wider territory.
Occupying otllccs in the same apartments
monts is the Manawa Ice company , r
ho.ilthy organization that has growr
into adult proportions In the last season. .
It , is the only company in the Twir
Cities that handles lake Ice , the cloarosl
and purest crystal to bo obtained any'
whore. During the past season five
wncrons have been insulllcient to fill the
orders of their Council BlulTs customers.
Every pound of the thousands of ton <
packed last winter will bo sold at retail
this summer. They control the Lake
Manawa harvest , and next winter thn\
will pack for the wholesale and retail
trade.
A prominent sutto of olllces located ir
the basement on the Pearl street fronl
has be'on leased by Edward Wright , the
stenographer and typewriter. Mr.
Wright is devoting his time to legal
stenographic and short hand work , and
the prominence of the location has boon
a disadvantage to him during the suni'
mcr , and ho lias found that ho could dc
his work bettor at his residence. Since
the changes were made the olllco is
much pleasanter and more convenient
than over , and ho has made up ill i mind
to bub-lease it if ho can do eo in the next
few weeks. It has a south and west
front , all conveniences , and largo bank
vault , and is 0110 of tho'iinost olllcos in
the building.
The lower floor on the M-iin street
and First avenue is occupied by the Cit
izen's State bank , ono of the most prom
inent , banking houses in the city , and
the strongest financial Institution in
northwestern Iowa. It was established
in 18S2 , and has grown with the most
remarkable vigor from the start. At
the present tune the deposits roach al
most ono million dollars , and the total
resources and liabilities round up al
most ono and a quarter millions. The
bank's location is very pleasant , al
though the quarters are rather too
small for the great volume of business
transacted. The conveniences are all
modern , and the vault is ouool the larg
est and safest in the weSt , It is a borne-
what romarkoblo fact that n larger num
ber of young men make the Citizens'
their depository than any other bank in
the city , and a larger number of coun
try banks do their business through it
than through any other financial insti
tution in the western part of the state.
The Council Bluffs Insurance company
occupies a linoly situated suite of apart
ments on the second floor , and their
rcoms are filled with the desks of as
busy a sot of clerks and employes as
there are in the city. The front room
facing the park on Pearl street and
First avenue corner is the private olllco
of President A. T. Flickinger , and ad
joining are the olllcas of Flickinger
Brothers , attorneys for the company.
The largo central room with half a
dozen windows opening on the main
work room of the company , and at the
largest desk near the center of the row
sits Secretary J. Q. Anderson , who is
perhaps the hardest worker in the entire -
tire building. The company is
ono of the strongest in the
stato. and none stands so
high in the estimation of the public.
It is ono of the institutions that Council
BlulTs is particularly proud of. It has
made a record for prompt and honor
able settlement of losses that places it at
the front and has created the conviction
that every just loss will bo paid to the
last penny , and without annoying delay.
There record of business transacted
during the first half of the present year
bhows very satisfactory results and is
the strongest proof of the popularity of
the company. Premiums written up to
Juno 31 , 1891 , amount to $29,011.07 , and
the losses paid from January to Juno
were $ .5,090.17. When it is recollected
that the greater part of this business
coinos from people in and around
Council Bluffs where the company is
host known it affords the strongest pos
sible evidence of the solid popularity of
the company.

hrtvo csslly obtained another ono mid ihould
have dona to In order to fulfill bis purl of the
contract. The result was the evening's en
joyment nt MtnhnttAii was a total failure.
Hood nho agreed to furnish ccrlniu refreshments -
monts for n certain price , agreeing to sonro
them in itrictly first class st.rlo. Ho also
stated to the committee thnt ho could accom
modate eighty people In one dining room nnd
forty In another. U'lion n pdrtlon of the
pnrty ( only what could till tables ) MU down
to supper , It was found thnt bo hnd not oven
begun to propnro for them. Sa.ulwlohui
were not made nnd when made nnd served
after fifteen to twenty minutes waiting , they
were not lit to ont. Likewise thu rest of the
refreshments. They had but thro. ) waiters ,
who were Inexjiorlcm'ed nnd tumble to Imn-
dlo moru than ton to llfteon pooplo. So mnnv
were dlssntlslleu ttint. they got up nnd loft
without eating n thine.
In regard to collecting tickets , this agree
ment wns mutual , notwithstanding Mr.
Heed's statement to the contrary.
'
Of coiirso , the committee did' not feel like
paying for something they did not gut , nnd
is the man did not live up to his contract , ho
wns not logallv ontltlud to It. Ho was approached
preached six or seven illftVrout times , but
would not listen to an arbitration.
Uo then secretly connived with the mauler
mechanic , engineer nnd conductor in rogtml
to holding the train. One of their men secretly -
crotly wont through the train nnd told the
Council DlulT.s people to walk up two or throe
blocks and got on the train thnt would nr-
rlvo shortly , ns the twin they were on would
bo hold. In the meantime thov represented
to us that the train would lu.ivo Immediately
upon the nrrlvnl of thu other one from Coun
cil Bluff * . As soon as the train wo supposed
wo were being held for arrived , the engine
stturned up and blow the whistle , endeavor
ing to make us bellevo they would lo.ivc , and
while this commotion was going on thu other
train pulled out for Council Bluffs.
Mr , Heed then sent n man to Inform us
that the train had been held mid unless wo
caiiio to liU terms wo would hnvo to walk A
largo number of Omiiha people who were not
wltn the special party , of course , became In
dignant nnd gave Mr. Hoed to understand he
must run his train , and gave him two min
utes to decidd. Ho then ordered the train to
proceed.
Every effort was made to compromise with
Mr. Heed , but In ) acted In such an uulilTorout
manner it was Impossible to got , iuy satisfnc-
tioi whatever. The result was ho received
no p.iy for his would-be supper that dis
gusted all who attempted to satisfy their
hunger.
Mr. Heed and his assistant did not spend
five minutes olthor In dining room or kitchen
while refreshments were bolng served , not
withstanding ho says ho put himself In the
harness.
Colonel Kocd did nothing toward obtaining
a settlement , us the writer states In the artl
clos In his defense , but the last time ho was
approached ho wanted settlement for twen
ty-llvo moro people than actual count. The
fact of the matter was ho considered the
party nt bis meruy nnd thought ho could
"bulldoze" the committee Into oayinc for
something they did not got , inasmuch as ho
controlled the transportation to Council
Bluffs. HOIAI. Am IMMH.
