CRAWFORD LOSES ONE POINT
Court DeciJai Formation of Drainage Ditch
District! Wai Regular.
QUESTION OF CONTRACT NOT PASSED ON
Appraisers Named to Assess Benefits
Make Report Showing Deflclt for
Harrison County to
Pay.
At the conclusion of the arguments yes
terday' afternoon In the suit brought by
Logan Crawford to restrain the authori
ties of the two counties from proceeding
with the construction of the Harrison-Pottawattamie
county drainage ditches Judge
Thornell dismissed ths petition of the plain
tiff insofar as It related to the action of
the supervisors In establishing the ditches.
Judge Thornell held that the action of the
supervisors In creating and establishing the
ditches wss perfectly legal.
Judge Thornell's ruling does not, however,
put Crawford entirely out of court, as the
case Is continued for a hearing on the ques
tion ' as to whether there was fraud or
Illegality In the letting of the contracts by
the auditors of Harrison and Pottawattamie
counties to R. A. Brown A Co. and W. A.
Smith, when Bmlth and Brown & Co. shall
be brought Into court and made parties to
the proceeding.
H. H. Field snd Jacob Hansen, the com
missioners appointed to appraise the bene
fits which the abutting property will derive
from the construction of the drainage
ditches in Pottawattamie county, filed their
report yesterday with County Auditor
Innes. The report covers the Willow creek,
Allen creek and Eoyer rivor cutoff ditches
and is signed also by S. C. Eshelman and
J. H. Royer, tha commissioners appointed
by Harrison county, and by Morris Mc
Henry, county surveyor of ;Crawford
county, appointed to act In conjunction
with the commissioners from the two coun
ties. The report filed with Auditor Innes,
however, only deals with the benefits de
rived by land in Pottawattamie county.
The commissioners find that the total
benefits to land from the ditches in this
county will amount to (21,260, or about
19,000 less than it Is estimated the cost of
construction In Pottawattamie county will
be. The difference will have to be made up
by assessment on lands benefited In Harri
son county. The commissioners figure that
about 10,000 acres In this county will bo
benefited by the ditches and their computa
tions of benefits . are baaed on forty-acre
divisions.
In arriving at the appraisement of bene
fits the commissioners divided the land to
be benefited Into four classes, as follows:
Dry, which they assessed at J1.60 an acre;
low, assessed at $2.10 an acre; wet, assessed
at $2.00 an acre; swamp, assessed at $3.10
an acre.
The general supposition is that the Boards
of Supervisors of the two counties will
Issue fifteen-year bonds to pay for the con
struction of the ditches and by this way
the burden falling on the owners of the
land benefited will be extremely light. It
la figured that by the Issuance of fifteen
year bonds the annual payments of the
owners of land assessed will not amount
to more than about 14 or lf cents an acre
nnnually for the fifteen years.

A skin disease termed "Impetigo Conta

-of the children are reported to be Infected
with the disease. At a special meeting
of the Board of Education yesterday after
noon the building, desks and books were
ordered thoroughly disinfected and the pu
pils affected will be required to remain

( (From a Staff Correspondent)
DES MOINES. Oct. 10.-(Spcclal.) The at
torneys for the five business men of Des
Moines who are accused of having made at
tempts to improperly influence Jurors who
were hearing evidence in damage cases in
this city made an effort to end the cases
today by Interposing the objection that
the contempt of court ' waa constructive
only and not within the personal knowl
edge of the presiding judge, and that the
court has no power to take evidence in
such cases. Inasmuch as the defendants
had answered denying the facts stated by
the bar committee it was claimed that there
waa nothing to do but dismiss the cases ot
contempt and leave the matter to be dealt
with by the grand jury. The grand Jury
has not yet taken up the cases since the
contempt cases are hanging Are, but will
do so later. The defendants also made an
effo-t to prevent Judge Given of the dis
trict court, whose term will soon expire,
and who had previously been chief justice
of the state five times, having charge of
the cases on the claim that they should
come before the particular Judge who was
trying the cases when the alleged contempt
occurred. Both these contentions were held
not good and the cases will come before the
court for trial next week. The contempt
cases In connection with Jury fixing are
the first of the kind ever tried in the state
and are therefore attracting much atten
tion. t
Pension Money Exempt,
The supreme court ' this morning reaf
firmed Its position in regard to the sacred
ness of pension money and impossibility
of reaching It for taxation or other pur
poses. In a case from Wapello county
where Calvin Manning was guardian of one
John Schawbky, Insane, the tax ferrets
had tried to compel payment of taxes on
about.. $16,000 in the hands of the guardian.
The court held that the money is still in the
control of the federal government, as it
was merely paid to the guardian of the In
sane soldier, and. therefore it cannot be
reached. But the court intimates, rather
than decides, that even if the money was
In the hands of the pensioner in his own
right, even then under the Iowa laws it
could not be touched for taxation purposes,
as It was all derived from pensions. Thl
amount Involved Is about $2,000 in taxes.
Qaestloa of Error 1b Notice).
' In the case of Fleming against Hagar,
the court today decided that an error In
the description of, a tract of land in a
notice on which there had been foreclosure;
when the notice in other respects was suf
ficient to make it certain what was meant,
would not be a fatal defect The land had
been sold under the execution and no ef
fort was made to recover for six years,
when the land had enormously increased in
value.

Getting Ont of Race.
The secretary of state today received
notice of the withdrawal of Howard
Everett, democratic candidate for member
of the house for the Emmett-Dlcklnson
district, and the substitution of the name
of J. C. Guthrie, of Dickinson county, as
the candidate. Guthrie is' related closely
to Dr. Q. C. Fuller, the unsuccessful rival'
of Representative Robinson for the re
publican nomination. ,'
The secretary of state also received a
letter from H. N. Peckham, democratic
nominee for the house In Hardin county,
stating his desire not to make the race.
The withdrawal was not In legal form,
but It is expected Mr Peckham will . In
fact withdraw, and this will leave the
field clear for a fight between William
Weldon, fusion, and M. JvFurry, republi
can, in that county.
ot to Build Line.
In accordance with a telegraphic order
received last nlfht the contractors on the
Rock Island extension from Wlnterset to
Greenfield quit work this morning and
abandoned the grading ot that new line.
The order for the stoppage of work came
from Davenport Immediately following tha
general meeting of the Rock Island com
pany and it is supposed that the change ot
plans Is due to something which trans
pired at the general meeting. The grading
has been going on for two months and it
had previously ben announced that the
Iron would be laid this fall and cars be
running by the first of next year. .Inas-
much as the company on one other occa-
In ! slon ran a line and did tha grading and
then stopped, tiitf people of Madison and
Adair counties fear that this will be the
fate of the latest project.
