J. W. Kirk was appointed deputy sheriff
at Manawa without expense to the county.
The question of a county exhibit at the
Omaha exposition and offering premiums
to the different townships for the best dis
play was discussed , but no action taken.
The majority of the members are opposed
to making any appropriation for such a pur
pose. Sheriff Morgan submitted his semi
annual report , which showed that fees taxed
amounted to $2,083.38 , of which $2,440.89 had
been collected and $1,111.03 turned over to
the county treasurer.

I R. L. Draffeii , president of the Municipal
! Construction company of Chicago , which has
' wade a proposition to the city to build It
an electric lighting plant to bo owned and
operated by the city , held an Informal conference -
forenco with the members of the city council
yesterday afternoon and explained his prop
osition. A majority of the city ofllclals are
Jn favor of municipal ownership and If the
project can bo wrapped around with the
proper safeguards so as to protect the tax-
payerii and the city's Interests there are
good prospects of the proposition being ac
cepted.
By Mr , Draffen's figuring the city will own
the plant In about twelve years at a no
greater outlay than It paj every year nt
present for lighting tlin streets ,
The city's contract wllh the Council Bluffs
Gas and Electric company expires next De
cember , although the company's franchise
docs not terminate for seventeen yearn yet ,
The matter will bo presented at the meet
ing of the council tomorrow night.

PARTLY IN FAVOR OF CITY
Judge Aylesworth Decides Suit Against
Motor Company in Superior Court ,
MUNICIPALITY TO RECOVER 86853,11
Until * Dint Dcfmilnnt Cnritnnttlon IK
.Nut Mntitc fur COM ( of I'm I UK
Trnokn In Front
of IntcrncctloiiN ,
Judge Aylcsworth of the superior court
handed down hla decision yesterday In the
suit of the City against the Omaha &
Council Bluffs Railway and Bridge company ,
giving the city a decree for $6,853.11.
This Is the suit in which the city sought
to recover from the motor company the cost
of filling ditches on Avenue A from Four
teenth to Thirty-sixth etroct ; for replacing
the pavement on Broadway torn up by the
motor company when laying Its tracks ; for
the Intersection paving on Broadway from
Twelfth to First street ; for the Intersec
tion paving on Pearl street to the Junction
of Main and from the junction of Pearl and
Main to the Hock Island depot ; for the Inter
section paving on Fifth avenue from Pearl
to South Eighth street and for the grading
U Intersections of Avenue A and Fifteenth
to Twenty-sixth street , Inclusive.
, In his decision Judge Aylcsworth held that
the city could recover for the cost of tilling
Avcnuo A and found for It In the sum of
f6,550.52 on this count. He also held that
.ho city could recover for the paving be
tween the tails nnd one foot outside of the
motor company's tracks In front of Bayllss
park and the englno house on South Main
street , both being city property , and on this
count gave the city a decree for $302.59.
As to the recovery for the paving between
: ho motor company's tracks and one foot on
.he outsldo In front of the street intersec-
: lens Judge Aylcsworth found In favor of
the motor company. The city sued for
$6,323.89 and Interest from 1891. The court's
decision in favor of the motor company on
this point arises from a defect In the city
ordinance. The ordinance provides that the
motor company shall pay to the abutting
property owners the cost of the paving be
tween Its tracks and for one foot on the out
side , but does not provide that the company
should pay the city for like- paving In front
of the street Intersections.
The suit was originally Instituted In 1891 ,
but no effort was made to bring It to trial |
until City Attorney Wadsworth assumed j
office , when one of his first acts was to In
sist on having the case disposed of. It was
tried before Judge Aylesworth on an agreed
statement of facts.
It Is believed that the city will appeal
from Judge Aylesworth's ruling ns to the
company's liability for the paving at the
Intersections.

"I am Adolph Krueger from Creston , la. ,
C09 South Elm street. " This written In
pencil on a sheet of note paper and en
closed In a blank envelope served to Iden
tify a man whoso lifeless body was found
yesterday morning In the yard of the Cas-
ady homestead cm Washington avenue. A
gaping wound In the right side of the head ,
from which the man's Hfe-blood had oozed ,
and a revolver lying within a few Inches
of the nerveless hand seemed to clearly In
dicate that It was a case of suicide.
Residents In the neighborhood had been
aroused about 3 o'clock In the morning by
the report of what sounded like a pistol shot.
No particular notice was paid to It at the
time. The body of Krueger was discov
ered by the driver of a grocery wagon
shortly after 7 o'clock.
Coroner Troynor was notified and the body
was taken to the undertaking establishment
of W. C * Estep. Undertaker Estep searched
the man's pockets and discovered the paper
which gave the clew to his. Identity , A few-
feet from the dead man an empty whisky
flask was found.
Coroner Treynor Impaneled a Jury and
the Inquest was partially held. The only
evidence forthcoming was that of several of
the residents in the neighborhood who had
heard the shot and seen the body lying In
the grass In the yard of the Casady homo-
( Contlnued on Seventh Page. )
