According to tho story ho told County Attorney Klllpack yesterday, James Aspo don, a verdant farmer from Hamburg, la., had a lively experience New Year's ove . In a Droudway saloon. Aspcdon said he had been buncoed Into buying $10 worth of poker chlps,vhlch ho lest on the first doal , of the cards. Ho wanted to fllo an In formation against the, keeper of the sa loon, tho bartender and several others, whose names ho did not know. Aspcdon, who camo to Council Illuffs to celebrate tho new year, visited a number of saloons and spent money freely, in ono sa loon, whero ho had been treating everyone who came In, sotno of tho habitues of tho place got, up a Httlo excitement for his was no means ror getting the apparatus benefit. Tho bartender and a hack driver i there, Chief Tcmplcton was unablo to ro apparontly had troublo outside and ruehed spoml. Doth the Milwaukee and Hock back Into tho saloon, tho- dispenser of Island railroads wero nsked to send a liquids flourishing a revolver, while thu special train with the chemical englno and hack driver was armed with the stove 'n company from' here, but owing to tho pokor. Tho hack driver mado a pass at tho bartender, tho latter raised his gun, flrod, the hack driver dropped to the floor, ex claiming: "I am shot,- boys; Scotty has done for mo this time." Tho next thing Aspcdon saw was three men dragging the hack driver's apparently lifeless body out through a rear door. Murder as a Miihtly 'Diversion. . ASpedop went out Into the street, to look for a policeman, but falling to And ono ro-. turned to tho saloon, whero he was told i . -i i. , ,,,. t,iii,t man 1 not to alarmed, as they k lied a man .there almost ovory'nlght and did not think ' ab0l't Th0 .W.h ?'tl I this Information to Aspcdon, hinted that ho wanted to stand In with tho crowd and avoid a fate such as had befallen tho hack driver be would better buy $10 worth of poker chips and. take a hand In tho game. Aspcdon told County Attorney Klllpack that although ho suspected tho shooting was all a farce, his nerves were so unstrung that ho nt onco bought the chips, as bur- n 4 .1 nw1 Innlr n tinff In (tin mi m n Aonn. don said, he told tho men playing "that ho j uia not Know any mora aooui potter inau no i did about the Greek, language and they told bltn that It did not cut any figure, aa they would play his hand for him. He wns told a'fter the cards had been dealt that ho held four queens and ono of tha crowd staked bis wholo $10 worth of chips. An other of tho party, he was then 'to d, held four aces, and he saw the. man suppojed to have tho aces sweep his chips Into his pocket. Aspodon, said bo declined to buy any inoro chips. All this happened, accord ing to tho Hamburg man's etory, about 3 O'clock In the morning,- ' J As Aspcdon admitted be had- been drink ing somewhat freely tho 'coilnty attorney suggested that he would hotter g6 home and profit by bis experience and disabused hit mind of filing any Information. Woman Ileirulle (his Farmer. Charles Howard,' originally hailing from Montana, was In the city yesterday seeking the assistance of the police in locating a young woman nnraed QuesIo Wagner, whom ho married In Omaha last September. How ard's matrimonial oxpcrlcnce, according to tho story ho told Chief Albro, was brief and full of excitement. Ho said ho met the young woman In a restaurant In Omaha, whero she was working. Alter threo weeks' acquaintance ho proposed marriage and bIio accepted. Ho' told her he was but a plain farmer and tho gulleleea Gussio informed 1 him that Ufa on a farm was what she had been pining for all her life. They wero married, but, nt tho young woman's request, kept tho fact from tholr friends, as she told him that If "tho boys" got outo It It would cost him $40 or $50 to "set It up" to them. -He went back to his hotol and sho to tho restaurant. Then they decided to go to Lincoln at the young woman's suggestion. On their way thero GusbIo told Howard that she had expended $110 In buying furnlturo for their homo and .that when they reached thero she would have to pay the balanco, about $300. How ard handed over to her all ho had, about $400. On reaching Lincoln tho young woman gave him the slip and he notified the police. Sho was arretted and about $110 of the monpy was found on her. Howard told Chief Albro that after ho lawyer got through with tho case there- was nothing left for him. He said he never could toll what became of tho money. Howard said be was anxious to eoo the young womnn once more, as ho had decided to go buck to Montana, whero ' he could earn $10 a month nnd bis board. Ho had been told thnt his wlfo lived in Council Bluffs, but tho police wero unable to locate her, nnd Howard, itftcr spending tho day hero searrhlng for her, returning to Omaha last ovcnlng. OpenliiK Mynnler Street, It has been suggested that the city buy sufficient gVotind on the north side of In- dlan creek for the purpose of opening Mynstrr street to North Main street and many. Mnthrls Meller died recently in the thereby save the greater expeneo of con- fatherland, leaving an Immonso estate, to structlng a bridge at Ihe Junction of the which there nre several heirs. E. J. Mel two streets over tho creek. It Is said ler Is ono of them and ho has Just been sufllclent hind could bo acquired for this notified by the First National bank of Ln purposo by tho city at a cost not oxceedlng , porto, Ind., whero somo of tho other heirs $1,500 to $2,000, Tho plans now being prepared by City Engineer Etnyre for the skew bridge at Mynstcr and Main streets will Involvo an outlay by the city of between $6,000 and $8,000.' 'The cost of keeping tho structure In repair will also bo a considerable Item. Those who oppose this expenditure by tho city nt this time, when the finances of the municipality are ?o' low, pont out that sufficient ground to open the streot could bo secured along the ijorth bank of the creek nt a much smaller cost. Mcst of the ground that would be needed to open tho street tints Is unoccupied nnd of llttlo practical ueo, Opposite tho flro engine hcuse, facing on Main street, Is a tumble. down one-story brick building, which Is unoccupied nnd whloh, it is said, could bo bought for little money. Thu old Uoacn planing mill, now occupied as a soap fuc tory, could bo moved back n fow feot at a slight exponso, leaving enough roadway along tho bank of tht; creek to open Mynstcr street through to North Main street. This proposition has novcr been formally beforo tho city council, but It Is tiald It will bo at the meotlng Monday night. One of tho aldermen who has beon approached on the subject expressed himself as favor Ins such u plan, ns hn said he believed it would be an economical proposition for the city. He added that If thejand could be secured at a reasonable price ho would vote tn favor of It, as against the bridge.

DESIRES ADDITIONAL MUNICIPAL TAX Hollered It Will Accomnllah Reduc tion or .uinlier of ShIouiik In the Smaller Cities of the State. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Jan. 2. (Speclol.) Rev. H. II. Abrams, ono of the men connected with the Iowa Anti-Saloon league and at prcsont chairman of tho legislative committee, of that league, la preparing bills for a number of changes In tho pharmacy laws of tho state and In tho laws relating to saloons that ho will present to tho legislature this month and ask to have, them Incorporated Into laws. One of tho most Important changes that he Is going to ask Is that tho state law rcqulrb that cities shall levy a tax of not lees than $500 a year for mu nicipal purposes on nil legalized saloons. The state now requires payment of $600 u year for each saloon. In somo cities an additional tax of not moro than $10 Is lovled while n otheis $300 or even $600 Is lovled In addition to tho state tax. Tho Anti Saloon lcaguo pcoplo nru going to demand that tho law require at least $500 a year for the cities or towns. This will not be objected to In tho largo cities, but It will greatly lessen the number of saloons In somo of tho smaller cities of tbo stato. The anti-saloon pcoplo will also nsk that blunks for druggists' permits for liquors shall bo Issued by the county auditors so that tho county will have a record of tho num ber that nro used. Abrams does not enro to seriously disturb the present liquor li cense law of the stato. Under It thero are but twcnty-llvo counties which bnvo legal ized the saloons, though In n great many of tho towns and cities of tho stnto even in the prohibition comities, tho saloon busl-q ness has Decn approved by tho people. Tho Anti-Saloon lenguo docs not aim at tho re peal of the license, law and to this oxtent Is working contrary to the views of tho prohibition party. Governor-elect Cummins stnted in his earliest speeches during tho campaign that ho would n6t recommend any chango In tho law as it stands at tho pres ent tlmo, and it Is expected that ho vill entirely Ignore It In his recommendntlons to tho legislature, should he make any ot state-wide Interest. HIuuv'm Private Secretary. It is currently bolleved hero that Gov-. crnor Shaw will appoint S. D. Fry, formerly of Keokuk, but for a number of years In Washington holding a minor position, to bo his private secrotnry In tho Treasury de partment. Fry was educated for tho min istry and became a newspaper correspond ent. Ho watf recently sent to Dos aiolncs as a special Inspector of rural mall routes. His report did not receive completo credenco In tho Postoulco department nnd other Inspectors, or special ngpnts have been going over his routes again, nnd they are reported Id' havo been generally well laid out and satisfactory. It Is expected that aiajor Fleming, secretary to tho gov ernor, will bo given a position lnVashlng tou In tho diirtraent, and probably sev eral other Iowa persons. The number of Iowa men in tho Treasury department Is said to be proportionately small, and thero Is a disposition to go after the places at onco, as It Is the flrst time Iowa has had a good cbanco In tho department. fiiiiallpox Kplileinie SprendN. Tho State Board of Health yesterday and today has received rcportB of over fifty cases of smallpox from different parts of tho stato.
