TO SET ASIDE JUDGMENT
City
Solicitor Wndmvortli l-'llen
Motion In the Lock
Cane.
Ills
City Solicitor Wadsworth on his return
from Dcs Moines yesterday filed In tho dis
trict court tho motion to set aside tho
Judgment for I2.C00 entered Juno 23 In favor
of Henry Lock against tho city of Council
IJluffs.
Tho motion after citing tho notion of
the city council on tho night of June 24
when that body authorized tho city solicitor
to consent to Judgment for $2,000 ngalnst
the city In tho personal Injury damage
Buit of Henry Lock, sets forth that May
3 Mayor Jennings vetoed tho action of tho
council. Copies of tho record of tho council
so far as It relates to the action authoriz
ing tho settlement of tho suit and tho veto
of tho mayor nro mado part of tho motion.
In support of the motion It 13 'contended
that Mayor Jennings' veto was given to tho
city council within the limit prescribed by
the statute, was less than fourteen days
attr tho paaaago ot tho motion autborliliiR
tho entering of tho Judgment, nnd that the
motion was not passed over tho veto by the
aldermen, "
Tho motion In conclusion In asking for
the 'setting aside of tho Judgment asserts
that tho action of tho city solicitor "is
without warrant or authority of law and Is
null, void and of no effect as against the
city of Council Bluffs."
Tho question of Mayor Jennings' right to
veto tho action of tho council Is not entered
Into in the motion, as this will bo raised
at tho tlmo tho motion comes before tho
court, which will bo asked to tako it up
at as early a dato as possible

LONDON. July 13. (New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram.) Military
circles attach no Importance to the
chargo that tho Hoers shot wound
ed English soldiers nt Vlakfon-
teln as printed by the Jingo press,
The ovidenco Is vague and contradictory
and proceeds from tho Imperial yeomanry,
who lied for tholr lives, abandoning guns,
convoys, hospital and everything on tho
first alarm of a Iloer attack.
A sensation was produced In tho House
ot Commons this afternoon by a series of
inquiries saying that the night after tho
Vlakfonteln fight tho JJrltlsh, discovering
that tho Boors were surrounding their
camp, wero obliged to retreat, leaving their
tents standing nnd their wounded behind
them. The question was put point blank as
to whether It was true or not that tho
British wounded were abandoned. Lord
Stanley, financial secretary of tho war of
fice, declared that the war office had no in
formation on the subject. John Dllllon
piled Lord Stanley with questions amid
cheers from tho Irish benches until tho
speaker named him, but after considerable
uproar a compromise was effected, Mr. Dil
lon giving notice that he will repeat his
question.
Colonol lleely, a lory member of Parlia
ment who Berved seventeen months In South
Afrlcn, writes to the Times protesting
against tho charges of cruelty against tho
Boers, whose kindliness and generosity to
the wounded, he says, havo been a striking
feature of the war.
Tho only conceivable object of tho Jingo
press la to provide a prataxt for refustntc
quarter In tho hope of tefmlnatlUK tbo War
In that way.
Tho Boers attacked a constabulary post
at HoulKop July 11, Lord Kitchener reports
capturing a seven-pound gun. The Boers
were eventually driven off, the British

DES MOINES, July 13. (Special.) With
8Ub3tnntlully three weeks of unsually hot
weather for Iowa, accompanied by two or
three good rains, nnd nt least a lnrgo part
of tho tlmo with dry winds from the south,
Iowa crops nro still In fairly good condl
Hon. Director Sago of the Iowa weather
service reports that thus far there is llttlo
Indication ot material injury to tho grow
ing corn In ccnttal and northern Iowa.
Thero Is but little of tho corn In tho
tassel or flower and the corn which has
a good stand nnd is freo from weeds nnd
is no, yet tasseled out is In t. condition
'.o ta:ul sevo al nioro days of extreme
heat without Jamnce. In southeastern
Iowa some. Inlnrv l r.,nnrtnd. The corn
shows signs of suffering for moisture nnd
cannot endure much Innccr. The cron that
a most Injured Is tho oats crop. In south
ern Iowa there will bo less than half a crop
nnd It makes no difference what the
weather may bo from this time on. Tho
wheat crop Is In better condition, although
It has been Injured In many places, but
Mr. Sago estimates there will bo 80 per
cent of a crop, unless something worse
comes along to Injuro It. Hye and winter
wheat nro out of the way and unharmed.
Thero will bo some shortage of pastures
unless thero Is much moro rain. The
forage crop, Including hay, will be small,
but of the very best quality. In fact, tho
Iowa crops on tho whole, from present In
dications, will bo worth an average crop
In actual feeding value, for what has been
lost In quantity will bo mnde up In quality.
The heat has been oppresslvo and for
four days tho thermometer showed nbove
100, but was today Just at tho mark.
Strictly speaking, there have been no pros
trations In Des Moines, but a number of
deaths which are directly attributable to
tho heat have occurred.
The continued dry weather Is a sourco
ot annoyance to tho Insurance Interests ot
the state, owing to the larger number ot
fires on farms and In small towns. A great
mnny aro being reported In different parts
of tho state. A flro at Clear Luko de
stroyed town property valued at about
J1S.000, with 7,500 Insurance. A flro at
Relnbcck destroyed a Darn nnd flvo horses.
Ledynrd suffered a serious fire. In nearly
all cases It Is reported that thero Is a
scarcity ot water with which to fight the
fires.
I.oaea Ilia KnrnliiRH,
Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Carlson, hard work
ing peoplo, had planned a trip to Sweden
which they have been compelled to forego.
They had saved up money sufficient to buy
tickets to Sweden, to their old home,
and return and had actually purchased the
tickets yesterday. While waiting for tho
train to carry them away they went out
to Ingcrsoll park, where a summer show
Is being run by tho street car company,
to spend tho evening. They also had, be
sides th tickets, JUG In cash with which
thoy expected to pay for their pleasures
on tho Journey back to Sweden. While
mingling In tho crowd tickets and money
wero stolen from them. Another peculiar
robbery has beon disclosed in Des Moines.
A man named Bennett was walking along
a lonely street when a female desperado
put a sharp rezor to his throat and de
manded that Lo stand still under pennlty
of having his throat cut. Ho complied
with tho request and stood still while
two men rifled his pockets nnd got $23.
Afterwnrd ho made a movo to follow them
when tho woman threatened him with a
revolver and mado him desist. There is
no cluo to the trio.

Ncvr York Market Tonhrnw
from
Protracted Hull Siiceu
Intlona. NEW YORK, July 13. Great excitement
prevailed nt tho New York Produce ox-
chango todny. Tho weather men early In
tho day showed no signs of a letun In the
hot spell In the corn belt. The market,
howover, was topheavy from protracted
bull speculations nnd It only required
rumors of rain in KnnsnB nnd Nebraska to
break the corn market 24 cents in less
than ten minutes at New York, whllo
tho Chicago market broke 414 cents. Great
blocks of "long stuff" enmo out In a steady
stream, which broke September, the specu-
attvo favorite, from 56? cents to 53?i
cents, with tho rest of the list off In pro
portion. Selling was largely by eleventh
hour bulls, who had but slender margins
against their "deals," whllo some of tho
original longs, with a good showing of
"velvet," took advantage of tho break to
Increase tholr lines of September on tho
reaction theory. It was largely this class
ot buying that nrrcstcd the decline nt 53
cents for September, which position soon
recovered to 54VS cents in the locnl market
and from 49 ccntB to 51 cents at Chi
cago. But tho undertone of tho market re
mained very feverish. A dispatch from
Washington received beforo noon stated
that no rnins havo occurred in Ohio or Kan
aB. This report caused active buying.
September oats broke during tho extreme
from 32 cents to 29 cents nt Chicngo and
only partially recovered when corn showed
reactionary tendency. '
Wheat was neglected. In the last half
hour thoro was sorao reaction In both corn
nnd wheat on denials from wheat points
that rain had fallen In the corn belt and
on reports from the Iowa weather bureau
that temperatures In that stato were higher
than aver. Considerable covering of short
corn took place on this report, but near
tho close many traders sold out their hold
lngs on account of the uncertain weather
conditions and fears of holding the grain
over until the new week. Tho close wns
very unsettled horo nt Ttffl cent on wheat
nnd 2 cents loss on corn.
