Frank Bpleska and wife, an aged couple
whe have been living In a little shack on
Twenty-fifth avenue, were ordered ent to
the poor farm on the recommendation of
Overseer Miller. The woman la almost
helpless from locomotor ataxia and there
was a pitiful scene when tbe aged couple
thought they were to be separated. When
they learned, however, that they would be
together at the poor farm their grief was
quickly turned to joy. The fcusbaud had
formerly been employed on the Burlington
section gang, but had to quit In order to
car for hi wife.
The contract for th county printing for
th new year was given to th New Non
pareil company at last year prices, no
bids being asked from other firms, although

Boy ttevtonsly Iajared.
Harry, the 9-year-old son of Thomas
Lafay. 213 Thirteenth avenue, was seriously
Injured Monday evening by the wheels of a
wagon on which he was riding and from
which he fell, passing over him. Hi In
juries are of an internal character and at
first it was thought they would prove fatal,
but th lad condition last night gave
strong hope of hi ultimate recovery.
The boy was riding on the top of a load of
dirt In a wagon driven by Samuel Glen and
for th edltlcation of some equally young
companion who were with him easayed to
turn a "flip-flop." He made a miscalcula
tion and fell between on of th wheel and
th wagon box, with his head between the
spoke. Th boy waa carried around wit,
th wheel, which finally passed over th
entire lengtb of hi body from th chest
down. Th driver waa unaware that th
lad had fallen until th wagon had passed
over him.
When picked up th boy was unconscious
and by the time he waa carried to his home,
nearby, life waa thought to be extinct as
he was pulseless Dr. Montgomery and City
Physician Tinley were summoned and after
two hours th boy regained consciousness,
but only for a short time. The whoi cf
jsesterday the lad was In a comatose condi
tion, but toward night became conscious
again at Intervals, and the attending phy
sicians had hopes of pulling him through.
Thomas La fay, the father. Is employed at
the Lindsay hide house on Ninth avenue.
DOCTORS ISSIST IPOS COSTROL
Want Women to Fnrnlah Fanda to
Ran Hospital, llonfier.
Shall the active management of its hos
pital be turned over to the physicians of
the city is a question which the Woman
Christian association Is now called upon
to decide. The physicians Ins.st that It
shall, and at a largely attended meeting
of the association held yesterday afternoon
at the residence of Mrs. C. W. McDonald
submitted what might be properly termed
their Ultimatum through a committee con
sisting of Drs. D. Macrae, Jr., V. I Trey
nor and M. A. Tinley.
The doctors' proposition is that In the
first place the name of the hcspiial be
changed from the Woman's Christian as
sociation hospital to that of the Council
Bluffs General hospital, and In the second
place that it be under the management
of a board of fifteen directors composed
of members of the medical profession, w hile
the association, through a board of ten
members, shall have charge of the busi
ness affairs of the institution outside of
the medical and surgical work.
If th association is not willing to comply
with the wishes of the doctors they will
continue perfecting their plans to establish
an independent hospital and the Woman's
Christian association would probably find
Itself without a medical staff for its hos
pital. While there was some objection at yes
terday meeting to the association re
linquishing the management of Its hospital,
the stronger protest was ugalnst changing
the name. Old-time members of the organi
zation contended that the association
owned the property and had through Its
untiring work for a number of years
brought the hospital to the position It now
occupies among such institutions. The
board of directors, however, is favorable
to the proposition of the doctors, and it is
believed an amicable arrangement will be
made. Some of the members of the associa
tion expressed themselves at yesterday's
meeting as being flatly opposed to relin
quishing the management of the hospital
and rather than do so would turn It into
an old women's home. Definite action on
the question is to be taken at the annual
meeting of the association next Monday
afternoon.
MORB LITIGATIOS OVER MAXAWA
Sheriff Has Contrary Orders from
Different Conrt.
Another round in the long drawn out
"Manawa fence" case is to be fought out in
the courts. Yesterday James S. Chrisman,
George W. Roberts, W. H. Beck and the
other plalntifTs In the su(t which resulted
in the motor company being required to re
move Its fence and other obstructions from
certain public Btreets, ordered opened up,
yesterday secured from Judge Scott of the
superior court an execution on the decree.
Before, however, the sheriff could get ac
tion on the execution the motor company
went before Judge Thornell in the district
court and secured a temporary Injunction
against Chrisman and the others from
carrying out the execution. In its petition
for the restraining order the motor com
pany claimed that Chrisman and the other
plaintiffs in the original suit were threaten
ing to remove the shade trees, telegraph
poles used for lighting purposes, the dock
and building on the lake front and the
stairway and platform at the main entrance
to the resort.
The motor company In its petition con
tends that the above property Is not on the
public streets ordered opened and asks that
the lines of tbe territory In dispute be es
tablished. Sheriff Canning was uncertain yesterday
what course to pursue. In one hand he
held the order of execution from the su
perior court, while In the other he had the
restraining order from the district court.
As the two courts are co-ordinate in juris
diction the sheriff was In a dilemma as to
what to do. He decided before acting to
secure legal advice and will probably ask
the court to appoint a commission to de
termine the lines of the disputed territory.
The motor company claims It planted Its
shade trees, erected its lighting poles, docks,
buildings and overhead platform under
resolutions adopted by the Board of Trus
tees of the town of Manawa before the
little burg' Incorporation was dissolved.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. Jan. $.-(f?pecial ) With
the arrest of Charle Thomas In Nebraska
and his return to Des Moines to stand
trial for the murder of Mabel Scofleld,
who was found dead on the bank of the
river here five years ago. there is opened
again one of the greatest mysteries of the
state. Dr. J. Derx ha been found in
Kansas City and will return as a witness
to the trial. He will be one of the most
Important witnesses of the state. Accord
ing to the testimony of Dr. Taylor before
the grand Jury Dr. Derx was present at the
Thomas home at the time the state al
leges that Mabel Scofleld died there. He
testifies that the two discussed the death
of the girl after her body was found on
the river bank.
Preparations are being made by th de
fense for the trial of Thomas, which will
probably b postponed until later In the
term. The defense will attempt to get a
change of venue to some other county be
cause of alleged public sentiment against
Thomas. They rely on an alibi, claiming
that Thomas was not at home at the hour
which Is set by th state for the commis
sion of the crime.
