permits It, the matter of the vacation of

Council Muffs ltowlng association, together
with olhrr olh ers ot the association. 1 lie

The action of the board upon this applica

court, where It Is nciw pending on a mo
tion to dissolve the Injunction, which was
submitted to Judno Mcfheraon last Satur

a decision will be reached on that motion.
If the Injunction small be dissolved, It will
leave this board free to act. it la of great
SubllR Importance that this question shall

tawattamie county Is Interested In the
maintenance of the resort at 1-ake Manawa
and the street car company can make no
provision toward opening that resort until
this question shall he determlnM. If the
determination is deliyeil tor any consid
erable period It will be too late to success
fully prepare It for opening lor the coming
season, us It requires a larae amount of
work to prepare for such opening. It is
therefore of high public Interest and Im
portance that the board be In such position
that It can act If the injunction shall be
dissolve;, if the court snail hold the In
junction Is rightful then of courae no ac

the Board of County Supervisors cannot
disregard and we certainly shall not stand
Idly by and permit these streets to be va
cated without a protest. It may be, how
ever, that the controversy can be amicably
settled. We are waiting to hear from one
of our clients In regard to the proposition
we are making' to the motor company as
suggested by the Commercial club, but until
he Is heard from we cannot make any defi
nite offer. The supreme court has decided
In our favor that these streets must be
kept open and we fail to see how In the face
of that the county supervisors can now
order them vacated, but of course the
county board has not as yet signified Its in
tention of complying with the request of
the motor company,"
SMITH COMMENCES HIS AHGIMRNT
SPORTS OF A DAY.
Devotee Time to Showing; Boyle's
Claim la Unreasonable.
Congressman Walter I. Smith, who com
menced the closing argument yesterday for
the defense In the Doyle-Burns case, under
took to demnnntrate that upon the evidence
of Doyle, taken as a whole. Burns was en
titled to a verdict without any further ev
idence. This was In answer to Mr. Hughes,
who In his opening argument for the plain
tiff Insisted that upon - the evidence of
Doyle's witnesses, without his own testi
mony, Doyle was entitled to a verdict.
Taking up Doyle's claim In the present
ult, Mr. Smith made some calculations for
the benefit of the Jury, showing how out
of all proportion, aa he contended, Doyle's
demand Was. He showed that Burns re
ceived la all for the three claims involved
In the suit 894,857 shares, out of which he
gave his brother, Tom Burns, 5,000, and
'Ma slaters 12VIHKL retaining hut 244SfiT him.
lelf. Mr. Smith explained that Doyle's
demand for, 239,000 of these shares would
leave Burns only 5,857 shares of stock as
tils share of the proceeds of the sale of
these three claims, while Doyle, If he was
awarded these 239,000 shares as sued for,
would then have received 204,000 shares, as
at the time of the sale he was given 26,000
shares. "Would, In the name of Justice,
such a division be fair or equitable, seeing
that Burns put In 816 days prospecting and
rking on these claims while Doyle only
t In 149 on Battle Mountain?" asked Mr.
iith. ,
Congressman Smith expects to occupy all
of Monday with his argument.

Trouble Over Scareaa-er Law.
PAPILLION. Neb., April 15.-(Special.)
A merry war between the county treasurer

scavenger provision of our revenue law,
the enforcement of which requires the
county treasurer to make out a Hat of all
delinquent lots and lands In the county

lection of the delinquent taxes, necessi
tating a great deal of extra work for ths
county treasurer and also entailing a heavy
expense on the county. It Is the conten
