STRIFE OVER UNION AVENUE
Oitj Will Attempt to Dispossess Union
Pacific of Eight of Way ,
CONTRACT IS SAID TO HAVE BEEN BROKEN
Ordlnnnce OrnnllnR ; Prnnclilnc Pro

Are Allrncil to Itnve Keen IJlii-
rcKnriled liy Comimny.
At the city hall yesterday It was stated
lhat the council had no Intention of rcced-
ng from Its action of last Monday night
In regard to the matter of the Union Pa
cific railway and Union avenue and that
City Solicitor Wadsworth had been given
explicit Instructions to Uko the necessary
steps looking to the annulment of the com
pany's franchise on that avenue. Acting
upon these Instructions , It Is understood
that Mr. Wadaworth will commence suit In
the district court thlfl week against the
railway , In which the court will be asked
to order that the franchise on Union avenue
irrantnA tn hn TFnlnn Pacific br ordinance
In 1883 be canceled.
In the suit to be brought the city will
contend that the Union Pacific has not
abided by the terms and provisions of the
ordinance giving It the franchise over Union
avenue and that by Its failure to live up
to Its contract with the city It has for
feited all Its rights to and on said thor
oughfare. It Is claimed that the ordinance
and the acceptance thereof 'by ' the railway
company constituted a contract between the
city and the railroad , making the duties ,
rights and obligations contained therein
equally binding upon the city and the Union
Pacific.
WnrdliiK ' < lie Ordinance.
On the part of the city It Is contended
that by section 2 of said ordinance the com
pany agreed to operate over Its track , In
cluding the track laid on Union avenue , a
passenger train from the Junction of Union
avenue and Broadway In the city of Coun
cil Bluffs to Its passenger depot In Omaha ,
said trains to bo run not less frequently
than every half hour , except Sundays , and
to be fit and suitable to accommodate first-
class travel.
Further , that the railway company ( or a
period of over ten years last passed , has
failed and refused and still neglects and
refuses to comply with these requirements
and has abandoned all passenger trains
from Union avenue and Broadway to Its
depot In the city of Omaha.
Also by the acceptance of the ordinance
the railway company agreed that the rights
granted In the ordinance were granted upon
the contract and agreement that it should
build , construct and complete said road to
Its aforesaid depots during the year 1883 ,
and should further accept and perform each
and all of the contracts and agreements
therein fixed and that Its rights to occupy
said Union avenue was granted only so long
as It should faithfully keep and perform
the contract and agreements therein men
tioned and that whenever It should fall to
substantially comply with and keep these
contracts and agreements lor a period of
thirty days , Ita right to occupy Union avenue -
onuo should terminate and cease and the
rights of the city of Council Bluffs and this
council over the avenue should bo resumed
and the city and Its officers should be en
titled to the possession thereof , and that
all tracks , switches and turnouts should be
removed by the railway company and that
the city might In default thereof remove
the same at the expense of the railway com
pany.
DefenHe of Union Pacific.
On behalf of the Union Pacific , It Is
claimed by Us local attorneys that the road
has complied with all the provisions of tha
ordinance granting the franchise and that
when the dummy service between Ninth
and Broadway and Omaha -was discontinued ,
there being no further need for such serv
ice , It was discontinued with the full sanc
tion of the then city council.
This claim , however , Is contradicted by
City Solicitor Wadaworth , who In hla re
cent report to the city council relative to
Union avenue and the city's rights thereto ,
said :
"By reference to the abstracts of the pro
ceedings of the city council , It will be seen
that the council has at no time , either di
rectly or Indirectly , recognized that the
Union Pacific Railway company hod the
rlglt to discontinue the running of dummy
or ferry trains as required by the grant.
Tbo city council has treated this question
ii a 'skeleton In the closet , ' and whenever
the Union Pacific neglected or refused to
pay taxes , build bridges , ropalr crossings
or enter Into a contract to build a union
depot some councilman would trot out this
'skeleton * and attempt to frighten the Union
Pacific to acquiesce In the wishes of the
city council. f
"It seems that In vlaw of the record , the
city council has done no act or acts that
wore Intended to waive the right of forfei
ture , and It Is questionable whether or not
tha cltv council , bv Its acts , can waive a
forfeiture' of the right and authority of
the state to Institute and maintain quo
wurranto proceedings with a view to oust
the Union Pacific railway from Its posses
sion of Union avenue. "
DiHlrlot Court No ten.
The Duncan Shoo company of this city
brought suit In the district court yesterday

ance company of Burlington for $700 Insur
ance on stock and fixtures partly destroyed

aforethought conspired to deprive hlin of
his oow and her calf by having them locked
up In the city pound. He also charged that

promissory note. His name Is NIs Frllund ,

ter put a stamp on It. Frllund remarked

BOAR DIRECT FROM AFRICA
Iowa Farmer Importn a Wild Anlmul
to Croin-Ilrced III * Jun-
Kle 1'lKn.
LBMARS , la. , Aug. 9. ( Special. ) A wild
boar has been Imported direct from Africa
by John Delancy , a wealthy farmer , for the
purpose of Improving the stock on his place.
The jungle pigs are free from disease and It
Is Mr. Delanoy's belief that by crossbreeding
ing he will make his herd immune from
cholera. His experiment la being watched
with the greatest Interest by the farmers of
the state. The animal on Mr. Delaney's
farm differs In many respects from both the
wild pig of India and the comparatively
well known bush hog of South Africa.
It Is of the one-toe variety. It's hoof Is
solid and round like that of a horse. It
Is muh less leggy than the Indian pig and
has a stocky , promising body. Its head Is
long and Its snout peculiarly long and blunt.
There Is a callous protuberance on upper side
of the snout not unlike a sprouting rhlnoc-
erous horn. The tusks are not yet devel
oped. The anlmaUls a llttlo over a year old
and weighs 500 pounds. It Is expected that
at full growth It will balance between 700
and 800 pounds.
The four flrst families sired by the African
have just been littered. The young swine
about forty In number , bear strongly the
characteristics of the boar. They are all of
the one-hoofed variety.

"The other evening Just before we changed
watch , " said the clerk at ono of the hotels ,
to the Times-Democrat , "a fat drummer
came up and 'began ' figuring out his expense
account for the day. Ho took the first piece
of paper he could lay his hands on and
didn't notice that It wan the blank we use
for keeping a memoranda for morning calls.
The blank * Is arranged In columns headed
by figures representing hours and half hours
and he "began " his penciling In the 3:30 : row.
First he Jotted down $1.50 for buggy hire ,
then 15 cents for stamps , 33 cents for car
fare , $1.60 for express package , $1.10 for tel
egrams , 60 cents for a trunk strap , G cents
for a paper and a quarter for messenger
service. Down at the bottom , as an after
thought , he put 40 , and wrote 'beer' after
It , thinking to work It In somehow , I sup
pose. Well at 330 ; the next morning there
was trouble and plenty of It. The night
clerk supposed , of course , that the calls had
been left In the ordinary way and , while ho
was a little surprised at so many people
wanting to get up at such an unearthly hour ,
ho told the boys to wake Nos. 150 , 15 , 35 ,

'Merciful heavens ! ' be said 'this wll | ruin

wanted gore , but when he saw the call list

One of the Mont Touelilim TriiKe < llc
of Uie Man In I. . > Trail. ,
One of the most touching of the many
tragedies of the old Santa Fo trail oc
curred nt Newton , Kns. , In early days and
the chief actor was an old man dwarfish In
stature and deformed , who kept n saloon
and gambling house , relates the Chicago
Record. Ho had n wonderfully Intelligent
face nnd quick , shrewd eyes , and had only
two apparent objects In life. Ono was to
accumulate money , for ho was n perfect
miser , nnd n handy man nt all games of
cards , nnd Uie other was a watchful nnd
tender solicitude for the welfare of his
daughter , the only being for whom ho
over showed nny respect or affection. She
wns n beautiful girl , bright and Intelligent ,
and apparently she loved the crooked old
miser. Ho was educated , nnd taught her
from books In n building half tent nnd half
shanty that stood behind his gambling
house. She did the cooking nnd wns seldom
seen except when ho was with her. Every
luxury that could bo secured on the Inhos-
pltablo frontier was seized for the girl by
the old man , and the only money ho was
over known to expend from the large quan
tities ho gathered In was for her benefit.
The story went that she was his only
child , and that ho hnd come west to make
n fortune In order that when she grow to
womanhood she might llvo llko n lady In
the states.
Nobody knew where ho came from , al
though for several years ho had driven a
team nnd handled some goods of his own
on the Santa Fe trail , nor did any ono
know his name. Ho carried n nickname ,
as every man of consequence In the com
munity did , nnd It was derived from his
peculiar , habitual expression , "Jcs-so. "
To every remark that was addressed him ,
to every assertion that was made In his
presence , bo It a matter of dinner or death ,
he had only ono reply , and that was :
"Jes-so. "
The girl was about 17 , and wns so care
fully guarded that she was discontented ,
and used to have sly flirtations with cow
boys and other hangers-on at the camp ,
which would have ended In murder had the
old man discovered them. While he wns
at the card table she was chattering at the
rear of her tent with one of her many lov
ers. And ono night she eloped.
The old man used to gamble all night
and sleep all day. and when he awoke one
afternoon from his slumbers he detected
her absence. A cowboy named "Bunny"
wns also missing , and the old man , by mak
ing Inquiries , discoverer inai moy inui ucuu
seen together during the previous evening.
He remarked "Jes-so" as usual , but ho
crawled through the town llko a wildcat
and borrowing a horse , buckled his revolver
ver belt around him and started across the
prairie toward the ranch where "Bunny"
was employed.
The next day he returned to Newton , said
"Jcs-so" as usual , but sold out his traps
and disappeared forever.
Two days later travelers along the road
reported that they had found In an aban
doned mud hut near the river two corpses ,
those of a beautiful girl and a stalwart
young man. They were on their knees ,
their right hands were clasped , and a prayer
book , covered with blood , lay on the floor
beside them. The old man had discovered
the betrayal of his daughter by "Bunny , "
had married them himself and then shot
them 'hoth through the heart.

Peculiar Parisian Cliin lhat I'roposcH
to Form n Syndicate.
Every visitor to Paris has observed the
ragged Individuals who perambulate the
boulevard nnd peer In among the tables
and chairs In front of the cafes In search of
cigar and cigarette ends , which they deftly
harpoon by means of bent pins on the end
of a stick , relates the Pall Mail Gazette ,
the mcgottlers , as they are called , arc now
trying to form a mutual protective syndi
cate. Their reason Is that the police in
terfere with them too much , considering
they are peaceable folk and that the craft ,
Is thus rendered
never a lucrative one ,
almost Impossible. Such , It appears , Is es
pecially the case In summer , when the
strce'te are clean and the best customers of
the megottlers pick up their own tobacco.
The fact that this Is the bad season probably
accounts for the present llttlo agitation.
This singular trade occupies three clasaes
of persons the picker , the cleaner and the
salesman. Everybody has seen the picker
at work and observed how ho comMuci beg
ging therewith. In the evening the pickers
meet at low wlno shops in the Faubourg du
Temple , where they find the cleaners await
ing them. Newspapers are cpread on the
tables and the cleaners set to work to undo
the cigars nnd cigarettes. Meanwhile the
pickers eat their bread and eausago and by
spending three halfpence on a glass of wlno
obtain the right to sleep In the establish
ment as best they can until 2 o'clock In the
morning. At that hour the wlno shops are
closed. But they open again at 3 , when
both pickers and cleaners enter nnd b > . .k-
Ing another glass of wlno each may sleep
till the morning. During this intcnal or
closing nnd opening the tobacco , put up in
packets , has been handed over to the sales
man , who disposes of it In workmen's quar
ters llko the Place Maubcrt ns the men pass
on their way to work. The purchasers
consist chiefly of masons , who nil come from
the country districts of Limousin and
Grouse and are delighted to get a largo
packet of tobacco for 2-pencc. There ex
ist , moreover , real tobacco shopkeepers who
purchase the vile stuff and mix It with good
tobacco. io profits derived therefrom bo-
Ing , naturally , considerable. This practice ,
however , docs not exist to nny great extent.

"I have a Chamber of Horrors at my

great prldo In his fantastically decorated

tains Is somewhat peculiar , although It Is
not the history with which It Is generally
accredited , Ono day , when I was prowling
around the place , I ran across a lot of old
rubbish In the closet. It was such debris as
old shoes , hats , broken crockery and so on ,

For Instance , a broken hntchet was Inscribed :
'Weapon tiscd by LI Yen , the notorious

Several vessels \\hlch have arrived In Bos
ton lately from the Philippines have had
natives And other reminders of the Islands
on board , but It remained for the ship John
Currier , Captain R. S. Lawrence
of Mnlden , which arrived the other
day from the Island of Ccbu , to bring
homo an old cannon , which , It IB claimed , ts
a relic of Magellan's voyage of discovery ,
says the Boston Transcript. Whether or not
the ancient weapon dates back quite as far
CR this , It Is , nt any rate , an Interesting
relic. It Is about ten feet long and has
been washeil by the ocan waves for so long
that the surface Is badly corroded and cov
ered with barnacles. No Inscription of any
Ulnd can be found on It , so Its history Is
largely a matter of surmise.
The John Currier was at Ccbu. before the
American occupancy when It flrst arrived
the Insurgents were In entire possession ,
with a governor general commanding. When
It was reported that the Americans wore
coming there was a great fright among the
occupants , but the conuqcst of the islnnd
was accomplished with llttlo difficulty when
the Petrel arrived. Cnptaln Conry gave the
governor general twenty-four hours In which
to evacuate , with a promise to shell the
town at the end of that time , and tlio gov
ernor generail evacuated.
Captain Lawrence of the John Currier
learned from the British consul , Mr. Cheese-
bottom , the story that Magellan constructed
a fort at Cebu out of a projecting rock , on
which ho planted the gun which is now In
Boston harbor. The captain thought it
would be an Interesting curlu In Boston and
he determined to have It. The cannon had
fallen from the rock , which was apparently
pumlcestone , and had been undermined. It
was still attached to the carriage and at low
tldo was. partly visible. A gang In charge
of Second Mate Newman was sent to bring
the cannon aboard. Considerable dlgGlng
was necessary and the help of a crowd of
natives was enlisted to roll the piece Into a
long boat , as It was Imposlble to rig a
tackle. Once in the boat they had to wait
for 'high ' tldo to float the craft and then the
relic was hoisted on the Currier by means
of tackle.

according to Hicks , wore blood-spattered.
Mrs. Kronman was afterward found In her
