SACU1N STARTS HIS SUIT
Asks for a Temporary Injunction to Stop the

ALLEGES COLLUSION AMONG THE BIDDERS
Says the Vvli'r l.i Too IIIkIi mill Tlint

Iliitcri'tl Into,
James A. SnRtiln filed Ms petition In the
dlrtrlr.t court yesterday In the Injunction
prorredlnus In which ho seeks to restrain
the tlty from entering Into. or carrying out
tlio paving contract with U. P. Wlckhnm.
The petition comes a little late to prevent
the city from entering Into the contract, as
Mayor Jennings as chief executive of the
municipality attached his oinclal signature
to the contrast Tuesday morning. In nil
dltlon to the mayor, members of the conn
ell and n. P. Wickharn, Saguln makes K. A
Wlckhnm n co-defendant, alleging that the
Ifctter. while not appearing In the written
tontract. Is n party thereto and directly In
(crested In the carrying out of the same
end the profits resulting thcretrom
Aflnr r.mlMni t tin iirnnpmllmra nf thn nlfv
council relative to the awarding of the
. . , , , . . ,
raving contract complnlneil of Sngulu nl-
l0Rrs 1,101 ,nc '"Ids for the paving were
Improperly advertised, Inasmuch as the ma-
terlal therefor was not specifically sched-
"l "'' llRnftted as required by law;
Hint tho bids for the paving were nlso not
,,, . i. i.. i.
utllclently speelflc. and did not rorrespond
Ith the advertisement therefor or tho
schedules nnd rpeclflctitlons of tho adver
tisement.
Ho contends further that the ordinance
nder which tho bids and specifications
ore advertised Is Illegal nnd void and In
lolntlon of tho constitution, In that It
Icprlves tho abutting property owners on
said street of their property without due
process of law.
Allcnc ln fill r Collusion,
Continuing, he alleges that the contract
os not awarded to tho lowest bidder, as
required by law. Saguln makes the allega
Hon that nil tho bidders pursuant to nn
Illegal combination and agreement made
with each other nnd the manufacturers o
the material for uso i said paving, made
no competitive bids, but merely made an
apparent show of bidding against each
ther nnd thnt each nnd every bid made for
such paving was In truth and In fact the
bid of hut ono party or parties representing
uch fraudulent, Illegal nnd unlawful com
blnatian. Ho asserts Hint by reason of this
Uegcd combination the bids for such pnv
lng is lnrgely In excess of the value thoreof
nd Is extortionate and unreasonnhlo; and
further, thnt tho accepted bid nnd contract
made In pursuance thereof is fraudulent
illegal, void and of uo effect.
In conclusion tho petition recites thnt
per cent of tho value of n large portion
of the property abutting on the streets to
bo paved under tho contract complained o
will not pay the cost of the paving, nut
therefore the additional cost over and above
tho 25 per cent of the value of said prop
crty will be and become an additional In
debtedness of tho city, whereby the munlc
Ipal indebtedness will be Increased In ex
cess nf the statutory limit. And for thl
reason ho further nvers that the contrac
with II. P. Wickharn Is unlawful, lllegnl
and void.
He askB that a temporary writ of lnjunc
tlon bo Issued restraining the city and
each one of tho defendants from In any
way entering Into the contract for the pav
ing nf snld street or for the paving of the
street In front of his property, or from car

for. or from certifying nny nssessmcnt I

HIGH SCHOOL IS Ali.WN IIIH.Il IT.
Attorney Clininticm Appcnln front the
Hlcii Avenuo DccInIoii.
The Hoard of Education is In ns great n
quandary as ever over tho High school site.
Much to tho surprise of the members of
tho board and In fact everyone else except
tho tvo In the secret, It developed yesterday
morning that Attorney II. J. Chambers had
late on Suturday evening filed with County
Superintendent McManus an appeal from the
board's action in selecting the old Hlgn
school site aH tho location for the new build
ing. That etich an appeal had been filed
was kept a secret by the county superin
tendent at the request of Attorney Chum
hem, who hnd hoped that the board would
rtvclnd Its former action nt Its meeting
Tuesday night und thus make such action
on his part unnecessary. Hud the board ro-
rclnded Its action, the appeal would havo
been withdrawn and nothing snld about It,
but as tho board adhered to Its determina
tion to place tho new High school on (ilen
avenue, tho appeal win stand. neiore
leaving for Neola yesterday morning to get
married. County Superintendent Mc.Mnnus
unnlllclnlly notified several members of the
hoard of the tiling of tho appeal. Olllclal
notice will be served on his return.
In tho appeal tiled Attorney Chambers.
after setting out that ho Is n resident nnd
taxpayer of tho school district and Inter
ested In the welfare of the schools, recites
thi facts relative to the school election held
In March. lR'.iO. when the proposition to Is
sue JtiS.000 bonds for tho purchase of u site
nnd the erection of a new High school was
voted on and carried by a largo majority and
the recent proceedings of tho board when
tho old High BChool slto was selected as
the location for the new High school. The
grounds on which ho bases his reasons for
appealing am us follows:
That the decision ami order of said
board of illrectom 111 the selection of mild
hlto are In direct conflict with the terms
and spirit of tho proposition suhmltted tlo
clailng for tho purchaso of n site anil for
the use of the old high school us it grade
school, nnd in all other respects-, and that
their conduct In so sclenting s.tld slto was
unlawful and In error.
Tluil at the time of the oassace nf said
resolution and the making of said order
and decision there wns and thero now Is no
money In the treas.iry of said Independent
school district belonging to tho sc'iool
house fund, except tho proceeds of th
bonds voted under tho proposition sub
mitted ns aforesaid on the second Monday
In March. 1900.
That the site so selected by said board of
directors Is 111 nil respects undesirable and
unlit for the location of a school site; that
It Is located in n deep valley, known us
(ilen avenue, and at tho south end thereof.
tlniH mnklni! blub bills to thn east, south
nnd west, and neither airy nor sightly nor
easy of access In Its tonography; that at
the south end of said valley or glen, rising
approximately fifty leot nbnvn the site so
selected and within a very short distance
therefrom, Is located u great reservoir of
water, containing In amount about 4.0oi,0)
gallons of water, accompanied with such
hazard to said school and the lives of its
attendants ns attends Its existence: that
said slto is not central nor convenient for
the use of suid district as a high school
alto; that It Is not centrally located, as
affiant verily believes, within tho Judg
ment of said board as Is possible for them
to locate It, that It was selected and the
order and decision for Its location made In
prejudice nnd as the result of passion on
the part or sittd Hoard, ami its locution is
not with the Interests of the district, and
because of all the nb.ivo said board com
mitted error In the selection of said site.
Pursuant to tho ngrcotnent reached at the
meeting Tuesday night the members of tho
school board met yesterday nfternoon on the
old High school grounds nnd looked tho
situation over. They learned one thing,
nnd that was that there wna considerably
moro hill to bo graded than thoy had fig-
urged on. Thero was moro or less Informal
discussion on the ndvlsnhlllty of rescinding
their action In selecting this location, in
view of tho fact that Attorney Chambers
had appealed, and It was suggested that
tho board select the Street site on Fifth
nvenuo between Third and Muffs Btrcets,
which hnd been offered nt 5,u00. Ono of
the members suggested thnt they cross the
hill nnd examine the Turley property nt tho
head of Willow avenue, which could bo pur
chased for $7,f00, and a move was made
there. This property has n frontage on
Third street of 103 foot and on the gleu of
2S0 feet. Member Sargent was nnxtotm for
tho board to select this site right then and
thero, but on motion of .Member Hess It was
decided to poatpono any further action until
a meeting to bo held Friday night. Mem
ber Swaino stated that under no circum
stances would ho voto now for nny other
slto than that of tho old High school
grounds.

man Oeorgo D. Perkins for tho vacant
United States senatorshlp was launched at
this nftcrnoon's Klevonth district republican
congressional convention at Storm LaKe,
Although It mot primarily for the purpose
of renominating Judge Lot Thoma, It ox
pressed undoubted enthusiasm for Mr. Per
kins and endorsed him for the senntorshlp
In vigorous terms. Hefore this portion of
tho convention's resolutions wns adopted by
acclamation, some of the men who wero
lined up In opposition to Mr. Perkins In tho
(Jear-Cummlns fight took occasion to show
their emntty. When It became whispered
about at Storm Lnko this morning that some
of Mr. Perkins' stalwart friends would sub

stirred themselves to pack tho committee
ngalnst him. They almost succeeded nnd In
tbo committee the vote on tho endorsement
stood 7 to 0. The fight thus begun wns car
rled to tho floor of the convention, but here
It was overwhelmingly defeated. Tho
minority of the committee reported In favor
of striking out tho Perkins endorsement
but their recommendation was voted down
on roll call of counties by a vote of 94 to 43
Immediately after the result was announced
the resolutions were unanimously adopted.
Mr. Perkins had nothing to say this even

the convention. Ho has not yet made
declaration whether he will bo a candidate
or whether ho will not. His friends In

While smaller and less Importnnt towns

and Ingress to Pocahontas was tho old-
fashioned stage. For years Its peoplo
truggled to secure a railroad nnd many
times seemed at tho point of success, but
each time these efforts closed In bitter
disappointment. The now rond which has
finally broken tho spell under which tho
town seemed to bo placed Is tho Rock
sland, which runs north from Oowrlo.
Tho first train, which ran In tonight, was

motlvo whistle heard In Pocahontas was
a sound fraught with the greatest Im
portance to Its people. Tho event Is
clng celebrated with banquets nnd oratory
of a character fitting to mnrk the blotting
out of Its unique but undeslred distinc
