The case ngalnst Charles Blerwlth , pro.

with kicking Patrolman Swanson out of b\t \
hotel one day last week when the officer wat
tlitro In performance of his duty , was dis
missed In pollco court yesterday morning on
Illarwlth paying the costs. When the case
was called Swouson failed to appear to prose
cute. Judge Aylesworth made one or two
Harcastlc remarks about an officer permitting
himself to bo thrown out of any place and
Informed Blerwlth that ho was fortunate In
getting off so lightly. Swanson when asked
why he had cropped the case said "he
thought It was best to. " The Incident haa
attracted considerable attention and the fact
that Blerwlth was not charged with Inter
fering with an officer has been more or less
criticised. The excuse offered for Swanson
Is that ho was now to the pollco business
nnd when kicked out by Blerwlth did not
exactly know how far his authority went In
such cases.

Sunday night as the result of being of an
Inquiottlvo turn of mind. As It la ho wan
around yesterday with n badly powder
scorched face and one eye more or less
burned.
On his way home rather late Sunday nlghl
Atkinson stopped at a saloon on South Main
street to get a glass of beer. Next the
saloon Is a vacant lot surrounded by a high
board fence. In order to take a short cut
home Atkinson went out of the back door ,
but hearing the voices of several men and
women In the vacant lot his curiosity war
aroused. Ho tried to look through a bole
In the fence , but the darkness prevented
him seeing anything. Then ho climbed the
fcnco and looked Into the lot. One of the
men In thu party who wa : close to the
fetico saw him aud drawing a revolvet
tired point blank at Atkinson. The bullol
whizzed past his ear and the powder burner
his face. Atkinson did not wait to cllmt
down , but fell off the fence and , wlthoul
staying to make any further Investigation
made for homo as quick as bis legs would
carry him.

TWO VI3KV SMOOTH SWINDLERS
IIrace of Slinriiem Work I.onu Broker *
for .Several Hundred Uollnrn.
Two of the smoothest swindlers that evei
turned a trick 1n this city struck Counci :
Bluffs two weeks ago and as a result ol
their visit and cunningly contrived plant
Lougco & Lougee aud J. W. Squire , tht
loan brokers , discovered yesterday that thej
had been victimized , the former to the tun <
ot $677 and the latter In the sum of $200
The schemes whereby the swindlers securec
the money were both daring and novel.
In the early part of the week before lasl
a man representing himself to be Jame :
L. Palmer called on Lougee & Lougee ant
showed them a warranty deed to 120 acres
of land In James township , this county
which he claimed he had purchased fron
the owner , Theodore Cowltz. The deoc
bore what appeared to be the signatures o
Cowltz nnd his wlfo and appeared to hi
properly executed. Cowltz , the owner of thi
land In question , formerly lived In thl :
county , hut now resides just across thi
Oklahoma line In Kansas and Lougee &
Lougee were aware of the fact that he hai
this property on the market for sale. Th <
warranty deed was dated October C ani
Palmer Informed Mr. Lougee thnt he ex
pected to take possession of the farm aboul
March next , but that he would require ft
borrow some money to make a few needec1
repairs.
Asked how much he required Palmer sali :
ho guessed $800 would be about the sun :
and then said bo thought be would be able
to do with 5750. He told Mr. Lougee thai
he had talked with a broker in Avocn. well
known to Lougee , who was willing to loan
the money , but ho asked a higher commis
sion than he , Palmer , thought he ought
to be asked to give. Mr. Lougee thought
he could let him have the money on bottci
terms and Palmer said he would think the
matter over. He was In no hurry , anyhow ,
Lougee suggested that he file an applica
tion for the loan anyhow and Palmer said
ho did not mind doing so and ho expected
to bo back In town about Friday and would
call and get the money If ho did not make
a deal with the men In Avoca.
Friday came and Palmer sent word thai
he could not reach town before evening. H (
arrived that evening and presented Louge <
with an abstract of the property made by the
Union Abstract company of this city. The
abstract showed a judgment against the
property of $73. Palmer expressed surprise
that Cowitz had said nothing , but was sure
aa he vas an honest man , he would pay It
But to make Lougco & Lougeo safe In tin
matter , he suggested they take the amount
out ot the $7uO. which they did and gave
him the balance , $077. The records at the
court house show that Palmer filed thi
deed for record and the mortgage given ti
Longer & Lougeo was also recorded.
Now It happened that Cowltz had placet
his property In the hands of J. Martin
the elevator man at Hancock , to sell foi
'him ' and the latter had just completed thi
gale when , to his astonishment , he reai
In the papers the notlco of the sale fron
Cowltz to Palmer. He wrote to Cowltz am
last Saturday received word from him tha
ho had not cold the land and had nevei
heard of the man Palmer. Martin came te
Council Bluffs yesterday and then Lougei
& Lougeo discovered the fact that they hai
been nicely worked by a very clover swlndli
for nearly $700.
While Palmer was working Lougee & Lou-
gee a man supposed to be a partner of htf
got his work In on J. W. Squire. To Squire
ho represented himself to bo Frank L. Smlt *
of Macedonia , a well known farmer of this
county , and applied for a loan of $500 oc
some land. Squire , not doubting that the mat
was who ho claimed to be , advanced $200
but as the abstract showed that there was
previous mortgage of $2,000 on the iant
wanted to look Into the matter further be
fore loaning the remaining $300. This wai
satisfactory to the man and he said he wouli
call the next day. Needless to Bay he dU :
not. Now It happened that the $2,000 loan 01
this land of Smith's had been made by Lou-
gee & Lougee nnd wheii Squire and thej
carae to compare notes Squire lenrne > d thai
the man he loaned the money to was noi
Smith and did not bear even the ollghtesi
re-semblance to him. The case U now In the
hands of the police.

Ilrlcljren Over Indian Creek.
At the adjourned meeting of thp city coun
cil laet night a resolution was adopted re
quiring all railroad companies and the motor
company to reconstruct their bridges over
Indian creak so that they would not be
below the established' city grade and no
that they shall leave n clear and unob
structed waterway under each brldgo not
less than forty-two feel In width , The city
marshal was Instructed to notify each of
the railroads that the city would hold them
llabln for any Injury or damage that
might bo caused by the obstruction of n
free wate-rway under their respective
bridges. These bridge * . It In claimed , have
been mainly -the cause In the pant for In
dian creek overflowing Its banks In thp
event of a freshet. The committee on
bridges and city property was authorized to
replank the bridge ou Broadway over the
creek and raise It eight Inches.
The resolution providing for the paving
of Fourth street with asplmltum and Harri
son street with brick was adopted and the
city clerk Instructed to advertise for bids.
The paving of Pierce street between First
and Stutsman streets was originally In
cluded In this resolution , but the council
liist night , after discussing the matter for
nearly an hour , finally decided to cut It
out. The special committee to which had
ben referred .the . bills of Chief of Police
Blxby for horse feed , telegraphing and
photographing criminals reported , recom
mending that the chief be * allowed $6 a
month for horse feed and that all tele
graphing to be done by the police depart
ment be done under the supervision nnd
approval of the mayor. With reference to
the photographing of criminals the commit
tee recommended that henceforth no ex
pense bo Incurred for photographing pris
oners except such as are held to the district
court for crimes punishable by Imprison
ment In the penitentiary and then only
on the approval of the committee on police
and health.
The general sidewalk ordinance providing
for the laying of n number of brick side
walks In different parts of the city was
passed. A resolution was adopted Instruct
ing the city attorney to require the parties
who secured In the spring of last year the
contract to lay plank sidewalks to complete
the work. The contractors have failed to
lay a largo portion of sidewalk where there
Is considerable grading to be clone.

APPLE CROP JS _ VERY SHORT

-M > rou < l A
CHICAGO. Oct. 24. The Orange Judd
Farmer tomorrow will say : "Tho apple crop
of the United States Is smaller than It has
been slnco reliable statistics have been col
lected. The total supply from the 1898 crop
of the United States Is 7,700,000 barrels ,
compared with something ' over -10,000,000
Itarrels fast vear nnd 70.000,000 barrels In the
record breaklne cron of 1898. The failure Is
widesnread. reaching from the Pacific Coast
to Maine , and In none of the states does the
outout of fruit approach an average. In the
great annlc utates of the west the crop la
almost an absolute failure , although the
situation In Michigan Is better than else
where. having about two-third of the bumper
crop of 189C. New York has only one-fifth
of a full crop. Thp failure Is attributed to
the fact that during the blooming season
there was excessive rainfall , which washed
out the pollen and prevented proper fertiliza
tion by Insects , whllo a coi'd wave added to
the injury , and subsequent moist , humid
weather was very favorable to the develop.
ment of fungous diseases. The Ontario crop
Is decidedly short. The crop of Europe Is
renorted below the normal. "

FnvorliiK the State Amendment.
ODRBOLT. la. , Oct. 24. ( Special. ) The
constitutional amendment to be voted on
next month In Iowa is attracting much at
tention In the northwestern part of tht
state. In this section the politicians size
up the situation thus : This amendment
provides that each county shall be entitled
to aC least one representative In the legis
lature ; and Its adoption will greatly In
crease the power nnd Influence of this sec
tion of the state In shaping legislation.
"Tho older counties of the stare have tot
years had all the representation to which
they are entitled ; whllo northwestern Iowa ,
with its rapidly increasing population , has
been deprived of it's Just representation by
the present section of the constitution ,
which was framed before this part of the
state was settled.
The proposition vo increase our representa
tion will be of great benefit to voters of
all parties If adopted ; and every man In
northwestern Iowa should vote yea. There
U reason to bellovo that the older counties
will vote In the negatlvu In order to pre
serve their present power nnd Influence.
They fought the passage of the amendment
In the legislature and will endeavor to de
feat It at the polls. Hence voters In this
part of the state should be alert.

loivu I'rekN Comment.
Doone News : Suppose ttfat one of our
merchants wanted a lob of work done and
should send to some other city to get a
workman , when men were Idle at home.
Thn wacee would be carried off and the labor
i of this cltv wouM bo deorlvod of that which
Justly belonged to It. On the same principle
when our people go away from homo to
trade In lines where they can be accommo
dated at home they are depriving business
of Its Just earnings. It Is a wise community
that stands bv Its homo business.
Cedar Raplda Republican : They are mak
ing efforts In Greene county to provide a
county hospital for the Insane. The Jeffer
son Bee eays that It costs that county $3 to
SI a week to care for the Insane In the
Btato hospitals. The Bee has been collectIng -
Ing Information from various county hospi
tals. Auditor Camp of Linn county writes
that It costs about $7 per month per capita
to care for the Inrano In this countv. There
are countlpH which claim to mend no mor
than $5 per capita per month. The lattrr
Is almost a criminal figure. Human belncs
who have lost their reason cannot bo kept
for 15 a month. You cannot keep a horse
for that sum. That means Improper feeder
or Imnroner caro. and a people which mal
treat or underfeed their unfortunates arc no
better than hi 3thi > n . That J7 rate which
prevails tu this county IH reaHonable. We
bellevo that It speaks well for our county
authorities
