About two months ago Joslo Hulbcrt was
In front of her house when she saw her
mother , Mrs. Rhodes , and a hired man named
David Long going past In a buggy. She
called to them to stop , but as Joslo and her
mother were not on very good terms , Mrs.
Ilhodes told Long to drive on , Josle there
upon became quite vehement , and , pulling a
large revolver with several loads In It to
the surface of her toilet , she fired a couple
of shots at Long , one of the balls hitting him
In the head. Joslo was arrested and ever
since that memorable day has been lying on
a cot In the county Jail.
Yesterday a second chapter was added to
the story , which goes to show that the days
of chivalry and romance are. not o > er yet.
It Kocms that Long had never understood
Just how charming Joslo was until the day
she shot at him. As hoon as the ball hit
him the thought flashed through his brain
that ( hero was the -girl ho had been looking
for. Yesterday ho had a talk with the county
attorney , In which ho stated that he did not
believe that the girl meant to kill him ; ho
thought eho was merely suffering from nn
overdose of something Intoxicating. Ho was
willing to overlook all that If they \\onld let
him marry the girl nnii take her out of Jail.
Bo a marriage license was procured , and the
prospects are that the betrothal which was
co romantically commenced will end In
Joslc leaving Sheriff Ilazeu's hotel , for the
time being ut least ,

For a hlle yesterday It looked aa though
the work on Falrmount park , which had
been started by the commissioners mainly
In order to keep the wolf away from the
door of a part at least of the laborers of
Council IllulTs , would result In trouble. As
stated In The Bee , a plan was formed Tues
day evening for thn men who had not been
able to gpt work at the park to form In u
body yesterday morning and present them
selves at the work with a demand that those
who had been given work already should be
discharged so that others might take their
places. A large crowd did as was agreed , but
Vic Keller , the foreman of the work , they
claimed , ordered them off and their vlsft was
barren of refultH.
In the afternoon the crowd gathered again
at the corner of Bayltss park to repeat the
operation , and this time some of them had
blood In their eyes. Some hotheaded Indl- ,
vlduals spoke merrily of what real enjoy
ment there would be In taking Vic Keller
down to the Falrmount park basin and
drowning him. When the army finally
started It coiulstcd of about 100 men.
When they arrived at the head of Tenth
avenue onu man , who , by the way , Is nald
never to have done a day's work since ho
came to Council Bluff * , appointed lilmrclf
a committee of one to call Commissioners
Graham and Casper do\\n from the hillside
to have a conference. The talk that en
sued was considerably more 'quiet than had
been fparcd. The spokesman of the crowd
stated thu general \\lsh , and the park com
missioners declared their willingness to do
all in their power to help them. They threw
the blame on the rlty council , "for , " ald
Oraham. "If the council would do , as we
want them to and till up the streets about
Cochran park with the dirt we're taking
out of this hill we'd be able to glvo you all
work. "
U was finally agreed that those who liavo
had employment should bo turned off this
morning and a new shift put on as far ns
possible. A secretary was appointed by the
men and an Invitation extended to all who
wore out of anything to eat and a way to
get It to como up and have their names
enrolled , In order that they might have the
preference over these who were less unfor
tunate. The gathering finally broke up after
It had been agreed to attend the council
meeting In the- evening and make another
effort to Induce the city council to do tome-
thing for them.

CITV COUNCIL MIIliTINfi.
Dlicin'oil Improvements to 1'roviiln Work
for I-aboreM lull Took No Action.
The council met In Mayor Cleaver's ofllce
and Aldermen Nicholson , Grab ) , Glcason
and Rlshton occupied scats on the west
sldo of the room , whllo on the east were
Aldermen White and Brcwlck , with hi/-
oner the mayor and the clerk In the mid
dle. City Attorney Hazclton had u seat
by the window.
There was considerable other business
brought up , however , besides that with ref-
cience to the unemployed. The Jail was
In horrible shape , and homo of the aldermen
thought U ought to bo fixed. In order to
stop the everlasting reports of the grand
Jury about It , but a majority said let It
alone.
A potltlon that was presented several
weeks ago by James McCabe and 400 other
property owners asking for the cutting down
of Canning hill , the paving of east Pierce
utrcct and n lot of other Improvements for
the benefit of the unemployed , was brought
up. Rlshton moved that It bo laid over ,
and that was the end of It.
The petition for paving North Twentieth
street , read by George Hunter at the Mon
day night meeting , was also read , amid
much laughter. When the request that
Oakland avenue bo paved came up ono of the
aldermen asked If Dellaven's name was
affixed to the petition. Attorney Hnzelton
replied that DcIIaven , Sapp and Saguin
were prepared to enjoin any attempt they
might make to pave the avenue. It was
finally decided to report for passage the
ordinance for sewering Oakland avenue , and
to lay over tlio paving ordinance for ono
month.
The question was then talked of whether
or not the dirt from Falrmout park should
bo used In filling up the streets around
Cochran park. Alderman Keller said thu
city had no right to do this. As a sop to
the laboring classes , however , It was finally
decided to allow Twenty-first street to be
filled , provided the property owners on that
street between First and Second avenues
didn't kick , but It was noticeable that the
council didn't agree to pay for any of the
work. "If wo ever gut this gang after us , "
said Keller , referring to thfe laboring men ,
"wo never will get any rest. "
The Manawa electric railway ordinance then
came to the front. Twenty-five years , they
thought , was too long to let this franchise
rum "It's the aamo d d old Omaha & Council
Bluffs Bridge- company under another name ,
and they're Just dolnx this to get out of
giving a G cent fare from any part of the
city to the lake , " said one. It seemed to
be the general opinion that tile ordinance
tihould not be passed unless the company
agreed to furnish a G-cent fare from all
over the city.
Alderman Oleason said that the property
owners on Sixth street would never consent
to having the line run there , and the com
pany might as well hang up Its fiddle first
as last. As the city now had the motor com
pany on the hip , la was In a position to
dictate terms , and proposed to do a little

A rather amusing Incident occurred yester
day In a trial that was being held In one of
the justice courts , but to this moment the
disinterested parties who witnessed It are
unable to decide whether It Is the Justice or
the two very eminent attorneys who were
trying thu case who should get up the cigars.

DES MOINES. June 6.-Speciul ( Telegram
to The Bee. ) The commissioners appointed
to select n site to build a hospital for the
Insane * at Cherokee have found some dlfll-
cultleH In the way of a discharge of their
duties. In the first place , the law prohibits
the commission from contracting- debt to
pay for land. It also prohibits the com-
mlsMon , acting on behalf of the state , from
receiving any donation , yet it requires the
commission to buy 320 acres of land. The
commission has found 4Jiat for the sum of
$12,000 they cannot buy a 320-n.ore site near
the town of Cherokee , and therefore the
new Insane asylum has come to a dead
standstill. Nothing can be done. At the
meeting of the commission the attorney
general and the state auditor were pres
ent , and they agreed with the commis
sioners that there Is no road out ; therefore
the nuw asylum must wait until the meetIng -
Ingof the next ceneral assembly.

the I.ntc nmtor'otSliorc of What tlio
Central racfat lnrcs tlio
Government.
WASHINGTON , Jun'e.ic. Ilepresentatlve
Mcgulre of California' vouches for the state
ment that Attorney General Olney has filed
In behalf of the United States a clalnt
against the estate of the late Senator Stan
ford for $15,000,000. The claim will bo pre
sented to Mrs. Stanford , who Is the execu
trix of the estate. Mrs. Stanford Is not
In the city , but Is cbellevcd to be cither In
San Francisco or nt Mcnto park. It can
not bo said what action she will take In
the matter , hut It Is believed the will re
ject the claim. The claim Is that the pro
portionate share of the debt of the Central
Pacific railroad which the Department of
Justice estimates that the estate owes the
United States upon the theory that the per
sonal assets of Individual members cf the
original Central Pacific syndicate nre liable
for the debt of that corporation now due
or which will become duo the government.
If Mrs , Stanford rejects the claim the De
partment of Justice will have to decide
what further steps will bo taken. It Is un
derstood llmt the claim was filed under the
California statute so that the statute of
limitation may not prevail against It. The
claim Is tiled now In order to protect every
possible Interest the United States may have
In the Stanford estate through the affairs of
the Central Pacific road.
The attorney general explains that the
claim was filed under the Callfonla statutes
, ln order to prevent the statute of llmltat.on
from running against It. That Is , ho ex
plained , while the statute of limitation can
not run against the United States , yet an
estate against which the United States has
a claan miy be probated , , settled and di
vided without regard to the United States'
claim unless such claim U filed within the
period provided In the state laws for such
tiling. Otherwise an estate against which
the United States had a possible claim
could * never be settled.
The general theory upon which the de
partment IK proceeding seems to be that the
original Central Pacific syndicate , Huntington -
ton , Sanford , Hopkins , Crocker and Colton ,
really constituted a co-partnership , con
trolling at all times and absolutely all the
construction companies and other corpora
tions connected with or engaged In building
the road , and used such companies and sldo
corporations as a mere agency to further
their personal ends and to erect the fabric
of their fortunes. Under this theory , the
failure of the Central Pacific to meet Us
engagements was caused by the diversion of
the road's assets through these agencies to
the members of the syndicate and these per-
persons were Involuntary trustees of the
funds thus dlverted.and that therefore their
private fortunes , being the ultimate pro
ceeds of such diverted earnings of the road ,
are properly holdcn fo'r the debts , created
and left unpaid.
ESTATE IS NOT' LARGE ENOUGH.
SAN FRANCISCO , Juno G. The Claim for
$15,000,000 filed agalmff the Stanford es
tate by Attorney General Olney as a pre
liminary step to forcp the government's
claim against the 'original holders of the
Central Pacific granl , bos caused the great
est excitement. It 16 now learned that the
government's claims were presented May 2C ,
but that nn attempt was made to keej. the
proceedings secret In order that the financial
operations of the estate need not be embar
rassed. The late Senator Stanford's estate
was recently appraised , at $17,600,000. Slnco
the appraisement theavy obligations have
been met , and It Is. stated now that the en
forcement of tno government claim
would practically " , 'Wlpo out the
estate , not only1 leaving the widow
penniless , but cutting' off the bene
ficiaries Under the late senator's will , Includ
ing the endowment of $2,500,000 to the Stan
ford university. It Is even said that the
estate , after the liquidation of Its acknowl
edged debts,1 may not equal the amount of
the claim of the government. In this event
Senator Stanford's deed of trust under which
Stanford university was founded would not
stand. In case the decision of Uiff courts
should bo In favor of the government and
the university would necessarily be sacrificed
to satisfy the Judgment.
Mrs. Stanford , In an Interview , has stated
that the government's claim will be resisted
to the fullest extent of her ability. She re
gards the proceedings In the nature of a test
case and was not surprised at the filing of
the claim. Further than these statements
she would not talk.
MORTGAGE NOT A DEUT.
An idea of the probable defense was given
last night by Mr. Wilson. Mrs. Stanford's
attorney. In an Interview he said : "The
opinion of the attorney general of the United
States Is entitled to a great deal of consid
eration , but he Is proceeding on a wrong
assumption. I am free to say that I don t
think the government will ever be able to
collect anything from the estate of the late
Lcland Stanford. The government Issued
the bonds to aid In the construction of the
Central Pacific railroad , but neither Mr.
Stanford nor any ono else ever agreed to pay
the government back. The- bonds operate
on a second mortgage. It Is not a debt , and
whllo the attorney general is perfectly rlgni
that In California the members of a corpora-
tlon are personally responsible for the debts
of the corporation he is wrong In assuming
that the mortgage Is a debt. "
"You cannot compel a man to pay a
mortgage. If I borrow $1.000 on a piece of
property valued at $500 10 holder of the
mortgage cannot compel me to pay It when
It becomes due. Ho can foreclose the
mortgage and take the property and that Is
all. . So In this case of the Central Pacific
railroad , the government holds a second
mortgage on the company's property of
$60 000 000. The government by paying the
Hist mortgage of $60,00,000 can foreclose the
second mortgage and get control of the
road. But It Is not to bo presumed that
the United States would care to expend
$120,000,000 to get control of a railroad that
could -bo built for one-third that amount. "
William F. Harris , the railroad company's
chief counsel , gave a similar expression of
opinion. Neither of these lawyers , how
ever , enter Into discussion of the allegations
offered by Congressman Magulro and others
loudest In the demand for prosecution of
the claims against C. P. Huntlngton and
the Stanford and Croker , Searls and other
estates.
Today Is the last day under the law
which Mrs. Stanford has to accept or re
ject the government's claim. It Is Lettered
she \rlll simply Ignore the claim , which In
law amounti to rejection. U will then be
In order for the government to Institute
suit either In the United States courts or
the superior court In San Franrlroo. At
torney General Olney' * clnlm will bo flTM
In the probate court In San Franclnco be
fore JmlRO Cofief , where the Stanford cs-
tntc Is now undergoing settlement.
