MONOPOLY'S GRIP ON THE LAKE Othir People Beiidei Property Ownera Are Concerned This Deal. SPORTSMEN DECLARE IT AN OUTRAGE Anyone Wanting a Uny'a Hntttlntr or Other ilrcrratlon on the Water Will lie nbllwrd lo Pay Toll (o the .Motor Compnii). Other persons besides the property owners nt Manawa nro directly Interested In the action of the Hoard of Supervisors vacating all tho public thoroughfares to the lake at the Instance of tho motor com pany. Lake Manawa has always been n favorlto resort for the hunters and fishers of Council llluffs and vicinity, but now they will be unable to resell the lake un less through tho company's grounds or by trespassing on someone's property. Tho action of the hoard, unless reversed by the courts, will give tho motor company prac tically a monopoly of tho boat houses on tho lake, except so far as the members of the lloat club are concerned. A well-known local sportsman, discussing tho situation yesterday, said: "Tho action of the supervisors In closing all tho roads to the lake front Is an outrago and noth ing less. I hnvo been In tho habit for years of going to Lako Manawa to take n pop nt the ducks, but now I will ho ob liged to pay toll to tho motor company nml hire nno of their boats If I want to go shooting or fishing nnd thero are scores of men like myself who will be In tho same boat. While I am willing to admit that somo of the so-called streets might have been vncated without hurting anyone, It does not seem right that tho main road lending to tho lake at the old boat land ing, which Is outside the present enclosure, should have been vacated. I earnestly hopo that some of tho property owners Interested will take tho case to tho dis trict court, ns I bcllevo If they will do so tho courts will turn down tho action of tho county board. For mysolf, I cannot see where the Board of Supervisors gets tho authority to take away from the public tho right to use and enjoy thoroughfares which have been laid out for Its benefit." Charles II. Hannan, who owns n lot which he cannot now reach except by dropping onto It from the skies, says that tho mat ter will bo certainly tnken to tho district court on appeal. Tho day following the action of the board tho motor company put n force of men at work and a high board fonco has been erected, so that tho public cunnot reach the lako except through Its grounds and by paying It toll. A fact that was not made public Is that Ucnjamln Marks, who owns considerable property around Lako Manawa, got tho board to vacato a portion of tho public road along the lako front Immediately ad Joining the motor company's property. This was dono by tho board several weeks befnro It took similar action at tho re quest of the motor company. II, S TO SIJK TIIK IIHNKFIT. Mnyor Strenuously Objects In Pro posed lno Wnrrnnto 1'roceiMllimn. Another secret session of tho city coun cil In comniltteo of tho whole Is slated for t)ils evening, when tho question of com mencing quo warranto proceedings against tho motor company will havo another round. It Is possible that City Solicitor Wads worth will hnvo his opinion preparod In time to submit to tho nldennon tonight, as ho has been working on It several days. Four of tho nldr-men aro In favor of em ploying A. S. Hazelton, former city nttorney, at n feo of $500 to assist Mr. Wadsworth, although tho latter has not applied for any help. Tho other four memberH'of the coun cil nro opposed to Involving the city In this expense and they havo Mayor Jennings on their side. Mayor Jennings Is not at all pleased with this talk of Instituting quo warranto pro ceedings against tho motor company, ns he fnlls to sco what benefit tho city will derive from such nn action. Tho aldermen who nro pushing tho matter admit they do not want tho trocks off Main street and this being tho case tho mayor says ho falls to sco clearly what they nee driving nt. If such proceedings were begun tho case could not bo finished during tho llfo of this coun cil and tho .mayor Is opposed to handing down a legacy In tho shnpo of expensive liti gation to tho next city administration. It Is doubtful, nccordlng to the opinion of leading attorneys, If tho city can bring quo wnrrnnto proceeedtngs ugatnst tho motor company nnd if riuch nn action is com menced It Is moro than likely that some tnxpayer will havo to bo secured to' act ns a iigiironead in tno proceedings, ijuo war ranto proceedings hava to bo brought In tho namo of tho state and It the county attorney on being npplled to refuses to commence Biich action on tho grounds that ho does not bellevo there Is sufiiclcnt cause the court may bo applied to und on permission being granted proceedings can then be brought In tho Diimo of tho state ex rol, whoever ap pears plaintiff. Tho laws of Iowa do not provide for any city being plaintiff In such proceedings. In the event of such proceadlags being decided In favor of tho city the motor com pany would undoubtedly take the caso to tho supreme court nnd It would be two or threo years beforo tho matter would be finally settled. For this reason, If for no other, Mayor Jennings Is opposed to Involv ing tho city In lengthy and costly litigation when the benefits to be derived arc doubt ful. Costly lllniiiler nt ortli Knirllsh.

THREE MEN ARRESTED ON SUSPICION riiey Are AH Yonnir Fellows I.lvlnu .nr the Tonn-Nn Part of the llooty U He covered, SIOUX CITY, la., Feb. 10. (Special Tele gram.) A $40,000 haul was made by the robbers who boldly stolo a United States Express company's route safe nt ManllU, In.. Saturday night whllo express nnd bag gage wero being transferred from a train on tho Sioux City division of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul rnllwoy to n Chicago train. Tho express olllrlals will not state that this sum was lost, but It Is known that about M 2,000 lu cash was taken on In Sioux City nnd about $25,000 In drafts and other valuables. Threo men were arrested nt 0 o'clock this morning In tho country near Manilla, after nn all-night hunt by a citizens' posso under the direction of the city marshal. The pris oners nro John Jackson, Charles Hnyrs anil' John Stovnll, nil young fellows who live 'n or neir Manilla. The officers who arrested them declaro that the evidence ngalnst them Is conclusive. Tim tiall led unmistakably to their lulr. although no part of tho booty was found on them. They persist In declar ing themselves Innocent. Consummate nerve charactcrlied tho rob bery. The Sioux City train arrived In Ma nilla nt S:0."i p. in. nnd Immediately there after tho express messenger, Jnines W. Sturtevant of Sioux City, nnd a couple of beggago rustlers employed nt tho Manilla Junction, unloaded tho car. plnclng tho routo safe on a platform truck with other freight. Tho Omaha train whs an hour or moro Into and the men climbed Into tho car to get out of the cold while waiting. About 8:10 o'clock the messenger stepped out side nnd for the first time noted tho loss of tho safe. Safe Carried Off Ilndlly. The heavy Iron box had been picked up bodily from tho truck by two men nnd carried nwny. Usually tho depot platform Is crowdeil nt trnln time, but tho extreme cold wonther kept the curious depot loungers Insldo nnd the men wero not de tcctcd ns they worked nt tho dark end of tho'plntform. Tho men carried tho heavy box about two blocks, where they loaded It Into a buggy nnd drove away. A mile nnd n half In the country north of tho town the box was found several hours Inter, forced open ami Its valuable contents gone. When tho robbery was discovered thero was great excitement, nnd no time was lost In spreading tho alarm. City Mar sum I'crren nnsiuy nssemmeil n posse mil vigorous work was begun. Snow lay thick on tho ground and It did not tako long to discover tho trucks of two per sons, who evidently had been carrying somo heavy object directly from tho truck, as It stood upon tho depot platform. The thieves carried thu safo a dlstoncc of two blocks nnd then loaded It Into n wagon which had ovldentty been left thore In waiting. Tho wagon ..was driven about a mile and a half out lnlo itho country nnd thero tho safo wns forced open and tho contents abstracted. Tho men thero aban doned tho safo and went their way on n new track. It was not difficult to trace them, howover, and this morning the three arrests wero made. All are well known. Their reputations heretofore havo not been bad. Iloliliery Plnnneil Deliberately. Whllo tho robbery undoubtedly wns de liberately plunnod, as tho horso and wagon wero In waiting In n convenient spot, It Is not believed that tho men know they wero making so rich n Intnl. They had no means of knowing the contents of tho safe, only that it was used for carrying valuables. They found an unusualy favorable oppor tunity when Sturtevant left tho safo on tho truck, and had It nqt been for tho telltnlo tracks In tho snow It Is not likely that tho arrests would havo been mndo so promptly. Jackson, Stovnll nnd Hayes hnvo been In tho habit of hanging nbnut tho depot nt train time, but that was not consid ered significant, ns It Is tho custom of a number of townspeople nt Manilla. Mrs. Jackson, wlfo of John Jackson, also was arrested, but at n preliminary hearing held this evening sho was roloascd. The examination will bo continued tomorrow. Tho threo prisoners nro In Jnll, having been unnblo to furnish bonds of $12,000 each. Tho authorities says the shoes of two of tho men exactly fit tho tracks in the snow nt tho depot whero tho safo was car ried off. Detective Hurry to Intra.

Twin Sisters Tiiuulcd In .Matrimonial Tle-lio. n Jolul Thnt wab n very good story about tho mixing up of tho twin brides nt tho Hlng hamtou wedding, relates tho New York Mall and Kxprcss, and It Is no less likely to bo true because tho element of prob ability seems to be lacking. The tale Is worth repenting, anyhow The twin sisters 'naked so much alike that their own purcutH could not tell them apart; they were dressed exactly alike, and the wedding ceremonies took plnco simul taneously, tne clergyman tying tho two knots Ir qu'ck succession. To mnko the story hang together. It Is said that the two girls were really In lovo with the sumo man, but ona had to give him up to take a sec ond choice, which sho had done with tho best gruco possible. Hut at tho critical moment, jusi ror run aim ur puzzle the by slanders, the two chanced nlacns. Now conies tho dispute upon which the whole Hint turns.

Hnlf tho peerago of England, and cer tainty every one of the spendthrift aristo crats, nre left to mourn Samuel Lewis, tho dead Shylock, for hardly can they tlnd his I'ko as a lender of millions. There was only ono Samuel Lewis among tho many money lenders who thrive by high Interest nnd find easy victims In high places. Lewis was tho real aristocrat or Ills class. Ho could lord it over the great men or his country, oven over princes of the rnvnl lilmMl. u-lul linri filllpll into Ills hands, 'and could live more luxuriously than tho best or tliem. It Is said of him that he rarely had less than 3,0(X,u0iJ or JC4,i.".ln lent on the se curity of young noblemen's expectations, whllo his brain held the knowledge of a choicer assortment of aristocratic skele tons than that of any other man In Eng land. Only a few months ngo the newspapers contained stories of how Lady Tntton Sykes hod dealings with Lewis to her sor row. Tho tin mo of Lord William Ncvlll Is ono that echoes almost with a throat In the homes of the London smart set whenever It Is spoken, and It was from Lewis that his lordship got the money with which he hastened his ruin. And the son of the inurqulH of Qtieeiisberry nlso hud experi ences of which tho public has heard lu de tail. These arc only throe uniting n thou sand. There Is n saying on the race track when a young peer Is playing high und losing nil that he "Is going to No. 17 Cork street, " It tells tho whole story. No. 1" Cork street, a modest three-story liUl'dllig In n short street off n iiiuch-frciiuentrd promenade, was tho headquarters of the money king. Thoro It was that his business organiza tion centered, past niiiiiy clerks, and sometimes only after hours of waiting, his titled customers, with lauds, diamonds or futility iixpectntloiis to buck their requests for rash, would timkn their way. Quick nnd short they would get their answer It might b" ready iicq.ilesocnce, or It might be a curt "Sorry I cannot oblige you." It might lie a proposal of 10 per cent Interest, or It might be U "ft or 100 per cent that would bo demanded. It Is said. Indeed, thnt Lewis had n groat card catuJogun of tho members of the nu bility, their fortunes, their habits, their relatives and their honesty. On each card was marked the ainaiitit the mini could bor row nml the rntu he must pay. so that even In lowls' nbsonro his clerks could lend his money after hlti own Ideas. A high liver was Lewis, n frequenter of Motito Carlo and tho rnco tracks, certain to have the best box ill tho theater on every opening night, certain to be surrounded with ladles wearing tho finest diamonds the eye eou'd tlnd on any such occasion llo was well over SO, hut did not look his aire. Ills lot black, wuxccl mustache, curlv hiilr and llttlo hcoilH of eyes did not give him a. really unpleasant appearance, though he hud always something of tho nlr of a. sporting man. Along with the Htorles of his iinllliichliig demand of his pound of flesh thero nro stories, too, or Kliuiuearteiliiess shown by hlin now and then. An Amerlcnnn actor, one of the best known on the Htnue. nrfi.n tells tho story of how, when he had gouo bankrupt at the games of Monte Carlo.
