QUESTION HAS ALREADY BEEN IN COURT
Ilpnnlttlloii Ailnplpil ! > ' Siii ? rvlni rn lit
Tlirtr Smilon .Saturday

Auuln.
The resolution adopted by the county su
porvliors at their cltslng session Saturday ,
to the effect thnt the board bi n com-
Tnlttcu of the whole to designate where
county road work shall be done , Is liable
to lead to another controversy between the
city and the county board. The law pro
vides that the portion cf the fund raised
by taxation upon property within the limits
of a city shall be expended under the di
rection of the city council. Last year the
city mndo a demand upon the board for
the portion of the fund belonging to Coun
cil Bluffs. The demand was refused and the
city took the case Into court , securing a
decision In Itn favor. An amlcablo arrange
ment was made and about half of the fund
wan expended on the streets within the city
limits nnd the other half on the Improve
ment of roads leading Into the city.
From the resolution adopted by the board
it Is Inferred that the supervisors are fig
uring on designating where the portion of
the road fund that belongs to the city shall
be expended and not allowing the city coun
cil any say In the matter. If this should
provo to be the case the city will at once
take the matter Into the courts again. At
east a member of the streets and alleys
onimlttco of the rlty council was authority
or this statement yesterday.
1-rfiBt year the county road fund was raised
rom a 1-mlll levy and produced something
ver $13,000. This year the levy Is but &
, mill nnd will produce about $6,500. The
joard has , however , nt Its disposal an accu
mulation of road funds that were unex-
icnded In previous years and on April 1
here was In the treasury to the credit of
ho road fund approximately $10,000.

preliminary hearing of Oscar Xellls. who
was arrested about two weeks ago for the
murder of the Sohultz family on August 1C ,
1893 , was concluded before Magistrate O'Uon-
nell Friday. The account of the arrest and
the history of the crime have been fully
given In the recant dally papers and the trial
caused Intenie Interest among the residents
of thlfi locality and especially In the Imme
diate vicinity of whore the crime was com
mitted and was largely attended.
The trial w.is begun Thursday and about
a dozen witnesses were examined In behalf
of the state and. on account of the absence
of one of the witnesses , was continued until
Friday afternoon. The evidence Introduced
waa entirely circumstantial and very remote
and the rumors that have been circulated

of the murder with his clothing on , after
coining home nnd washing blood off his
hands , nnd that ho was seen In the vicinity
of the residence of the Schultz's more than

The strong point the prosecution expected
to make was the fact that Ncllls had con-
slderable money bufore leaving this coun-
i try , but It was shown by the testimony of
Itncsscs that he received the money from
its brother and from the sale of his crops ,
ho party whom it was reported was going
o appear and "glvo the whole thing up"
Id not come. After examining all the wit-
esses present the conuty attorney moved
or a continuance to secure the attendance

y the court , as no showing was made that
10 evidence to be procured was material
r bad any direct bearing on the case.
The defense made no showing whatever

EATON'S CANYON' , Near Pasadena. Cul. ,
April 4. ( Special Correspondence of The
Bee. ) Having some leisure on hand nnd
wishing to enjoy a little outing I took a
trip tip Mount Lowe yesterday and today
! went to the summit of Wilson's penk and
I back again to the lowlands nt Its southern ,
I foot. They stand only about five or six
miles apart and both arc somewhat famous
In this section of the country , and , while not
i half as high as several other mountains In
the state , they arc much more accessible
and therefore much more frequently visited
1 than all the rest put together.
| Eaton's canyon , at the southern base of
, Wilson's peak , the place where Its ascent be-
I gins. Is about six miles northeast of Pasadena
'
and about eighteen miles east of Ixjs Angeles.
The system of electric railway extending
from Los Angeles through Pasadena to
Itcublo Pavilion , at the south side of Mount
| Lmvc , runs within about two and one-half
i miles of the point where the trail starts up
Wilson's peak. This trail , known as "the
1 Pasadena and Mount Wilson Toll road , "
; though narrow , is well graded and designed !
| for footmen and saddle animals only. It Is
nowhere wide enough for a vehicle of any
kind nnd from top to bottom la nine and
one-fourth miles In length. 'Tis true its
width Is sufllclcnt for n bicycle , but so
steep Is H a rider could not use his wheel
going up and so crooked nnd rapid Its
descent that no cycler'Would attempt to
ride down , unless prepared for lightning-
like velocity nnd ready at any moment for
a dash Into eternity. In some places the
trail runs zigzag and In others it makes
horseshoes and loops In rounding ridges and
winding about In ravines. At an altitude
of 2,200 feet n beautiful little plateau Is
reached , where a good view of the valley
below to the east , south and west may be
had. The plateau Is known as "Hennlger's
Flats" and takes Its name from Captain
Hennlgcr. an old-time Callfornlan , who for
many years lived Ihe life of a hermit there
and who doubtless In his seclusion from his
fellow men made companions of the cliffs ,
hills and peaks amid whose quiet shades
he dwelt , amid whose solemn grandeur ho
i whlled the Heeling hours away. At an ele-
' vatton of about 3.000 fppt the Halfway house
cornea Into sight on a little bench In the
side of the mountain at a place where the
trail makes a sharp , quick turn. H Is a
comparatively new two-story dwelling , still
unpalnted , yet quite roomy. Here n night's
sound sleep or a good square meal and other
refreshment may be had by the weary
tourist struggling up nnd down the tiresome
steeps. It Is situated amid native forests
cleared away sufllclcntly for Its erection , to
gether with a few small outhouses , and for
| these only. The rays of glowing sunlight
that fall upon this mountain Inn when the
summer heat grows warm are always tem
pered by the cooling shadows cast by
friendly trees.
A Mountain Vlllntte.
Continuing his journey till he stands upon
an eminence about 5,300 feet above the
rolling billows of the sea , the resolute
traveler finds himself , at .Martin's cnrap , a
veritable little village This camp is situ
ated in a sway or sink in the crest of the
mountain , between two peaks , one to the
southeast , the other to the northwest the
latter being known as Wilson's peak , or
Mount Wilson , as it Is sometimes called.
As the mountain top , like Its sides , is cov
ered with a variety of pines and small
scrub timber , all evergreens , Martin's
Camp is a truly inspiring , romantic , pictur
esque and " 'way-up" place. And such Is Its
temperature that men , as a general rule ,
may go about In the open air In their
shirt sleeves during the warmer hours of
the day , even In the winter season , and
overcoats are not needed except mornings
and evenings , while In the summertime the
altitude and the constant play of gentln
breezes are such as prevent one's feeling
anything like excessive heat. Martin's
Camp Is abundantly supplied with pure ,
fresh , sparkling water , taken from a spring
breaking out amid the rocks some distance
away , and forty or fifty feet higher up.
On tinSummit. .
i At Its most elevated point Wilson's peak
rises 6,000 feet above sea level and Is about
| a mile from Martin's Camp by the winding
j trail. It's extreme summit Is covered with
a growth of timber much like that to be
I found on lower levels. On Its very apex
' there stands a pine measuring ten feet in
I circumference , and a short distance away ,
but n trifle lower , there Is another mensur-
1 ing seventeen feet around. Both have
j a hardy , rugged appearance and are from
eighty to about 100 feet In height. From
the summit the observer obtains a mosl
excellent view of the surrounding country
In all directions. As the weather In this
section of the state Is generally
fair , the climate mild and com-
j paratlvely free from storms nml
' violent atmospheric disturbances the heavens
above are most always clad In spotless
blue , while the great lord of day rolls
majestically through the realms of space ,
shimmering , ns it were , amid the halos of
his royal glory. And thus It Is that with
such surroundings , existence Itself becomes
1 a source of serene enjoyment , nnd the softest
I rustlings of the leaves resolve themselves
I to sounds of sweetest music borne to ears
Intent on HMenlng upon the sweep of sigh-
Ins winds that soothe and fan the willing
brow. On going up and down the mountain
eldo the grand panorama unfolding Itself to
view Is constantly changing. Here we see
a solemn , wide-reaching , nwe-ln plrlng de
pression , and faintly hear the noise of runi i
nlng waters hidden In the gloomy mists ,
below ; there a yawning chasm In whose
quiet depths the largest trees appear but
llttlo things ; yonder n great abyss In which
the sunlight falls and with It also , shadows
from the passing clouds , while In Us mighty
deeps a painful stillness reigns ; and when
down we leak Into the silence holding there
a sullen sway , we shrink back ns If to resist
some mysterious force pushing us where NSP
know It would be certain death to go. Now
\\e behold some giant rock towering fur ,
above w , but close at band then a rtifurd
cliff further away lifts Itself to fight and .
nnon. In the hazy distance , a daring penk ,
rises high above the clouds , Us snow-capped
summit radiant \\lth the dazzling splendors
of the noonday sun.
A vast deal more might well be said than
I have ventured thus to write ; but as no
language 1 possess can half portray the |
least attractive of the scenes , I feel that 1
the greater wisdom show the sooner 1 may
lay usldo the feeble pen , unfit to do them
justice. J. T. MOIUAHTY.
