Great Western Decides to Acopt Assess
ment Made by State Board.
SAVE MUCH MONEY BY THIS COURSE
Aodttor tnnes Threaten. Assess
Rla-ht of War a Real Estate,
Plartaa; Valuation at Trie
Paid for Property.
The Groat Western railroad la now wilt
ing that the assessment placed on It by
the stat. executive council be apread on
the tax hooka of Pottawattamie county for
1908. Late yesterday afternoon tt authorized
Saunders & Btuart. Ha local attorneys, te
dismiss the Injunction ault brought laat
Thursday against the county.
This action on the part of the railroad
In dismissing the Injunction ault Is due
to the course adopted by County Auditor
lanes. When the notice of the Injunction
ult was served upon htm Mr. Innea at
once notified the attorneya for the Orest
Western at Fort Podge that ' unless tho
Injunction was Immediately withdrawn he
would proceed forthwith, under the au
thority bestowed on him by the laws of
the state, to assess all the real estate
owned by ihe railroad In this county anil
for the basis of the assessment he would
take the amount of the consideration named
In the deeda aa filed In the office of the
county recorder.
Early yesterduy morning County Auditor
Innes received a telegram from the rail
road's attorneys at Fort Dodge stating
that they had forwarded his ultimatum to
the goneral attorney of the company at
Bt. Paul end asking Mm not to take any
further action until he could be heard from.
Late yeaterday afternoon a telegram was
received from State Senator Thomaa P.
Healy, the Great Western'e attorney at
Fort Dodge, which read as follows:
Have authorised Bnunders A Stuart to
dlsmlsa ault enjoining board from spreading
assessment of executive council. Your tele
grum of yesterday is appreciated.
Tho Great Western In dismissing the In
junction suit took the short horn of the
dilemma. The state executive council as
sented the railroad at 11,000 a mile, the total
assessment amountltia to a little over
128,000. It objected to the assessment, claim
ing that the executive council had no right
to mako It, as the Una was not In a com
pleted state on January 1, 1903.
Representatives of the Great Western
). iIsiti Insisted that upwards of
1250,000 has been expended by the company
In purchasing its right of way through
Pottawattamie county and the city ef Coun
cil Bluffs. This bolng the case, the county
auditor estimated that the assessment on
Its property In thla city would have been
placed at 150.000 aotual value or nearly
140.000 taxable valuation. In the county the
valuation would have been placed at 1100,009
or 126,000 taxable valuation.

where they registered as man and wife at
a hotel. From Malvern they went to
Omaha, where they had been but one day
when Allen left tho girl saying he would
meet her In Council Bluffs during the
street fair and camlvnl.
The misguided girl, believing In Allen's
promise, came to Council Bluffs Thursday
and secured a room with the Taylor fam
ily on High street.
Toung Allen, who had been In the employ
of the druggist at Pacific Junction loss
than a yeir, succeeded In banking over
$1.0(0. The day before he left with Miss
Poliard, however, he turned over to his em
ployer M0. admitting that he bad "knocked
down" that amount while In his employ.
Coaf esses to Burglary.
Teddy Hayes, a mulatto, who had broken
Into the waiting room of the passenger
depot of the Milwaukee railroad on Six
teenth avenue, was captured at aa early
hour yesterday morning by Special Officer
Thomas Callsghan. The afreet proved to
be an Important one as subsequent develop
ments showed that Hayes was tha party
who broke Into the baggage room of the
Illinois Central depot Thursday night and
opened a number ef trunks."
Hayes was taken Into custody Thursday
night by the police as a auspicious char
acter, but after being questioned was re
leased. During the same night tha baggage
room at the Illinois Central passenger depot
was entered and several trunks broken
open. From a trunk belonging to Mrs.
Patsy Fallon of St. Louis, formerly Miss
Maud McAllister of this city, the thief se
cured a valuable diamond sunburst brooch
and a number of rare Canadian coins. Tha
coins proved the undoing of Hayes.
After Hayes was captured In the Mil
waukee depot by Callaghan yesterday
morning, a search of his clothing brought
to light the coins stolen from Mrs. Fallon's
trunk, but not the diamond brooch. After
the coins had been Identified as those stolen
from Mrs. Fallon's trunk, Hayes was sub
jected to another search and this time the
diamond brooch, wrapped In tissue paper,
was found concealed In tbe lining of Ma
coat.
Confronted with the coins and the brooch
Hayes confessed, but Insisted that the rob
bery was committed by a negro and a. white
man who broke Into the depot and handed
out the booty to him. The police, however,
place but little stock In this story.
Hayes secured admission to the waiting
room of the Milwaukee depot by prying a
window open with a atone cutter's chisel.
He had forced open the cash drawer In the
ticket office but obtained nothing for his
trouble. When found by Officer Callaghan
he was In the act of going through a suit
case belonging to Conductor C. E. Zlmmer,
the contents of which' was found spread on
the floor. When Officer Callaghan entered
Hayes attempted to hide behind tha door
leading Into the ticket room.
