J. Brown, the saloon crusader
Cuba, Kan., was not In district court yes
terday morning whrn his cases were called
and Judy-e U'lirelrr. In dismissing the
aulta. muIa thu following order In the
slxty-on Injunction cases:
Thla causn cornea on (or trial In regular
Bourse or assignment, tlio plaintiff appear
ing not and the defendants appearing by
auunael, and the plaintiff falling to appear,
though called, It Is ordered that thla oauae
b dismissed and the court, finding from
the evidence on file In the office of the
olerk that the plaintiff waa not a resident
of the state of Iowa at the time of the
commencement of this oaaae, and la not
now a resident of this state and that he la
not entitled to maintain the action H Is
ordered that he pay the oosta of the ao
tlon and that execution Issue therefor.
It is very doubtful, even If Brown had
been present, that the court would have
proceeded with the cases, as counsel for
the saloon men against whom Injunction
suits had been brought were loaded with
depositions conclusively showing that
Brown waa not only a resident of Cuba,
Kan., but had been elected last Novembor
Justice of the peace for Richland town
ship, Rtpubllo county, Kanaaa, In which
the town of Cuba Is located. It was alao
shown by these depositions that Brown's
family, consisting of wife and four chil
dren, lived In Cuba on the family home
stead, which ws In the wife's name, and
that Brown maintained a small offloe In
that town. In the face of these deposi
tion Judge Wheeler deolded that J.
Brown, "plaintiff," and "attorney for
plaintiff." could not well be a Justice of
the peace In Kansas and a citizen of
Council Bluffs at one and the same time
and that therefore he had no standing In
the district court of Pottawattamie
county, Iowa, in the suits such as were
at bar.
Notice was served on Brown by Attorney
O. H. Mayne that the defense Intended
taking theso depositions In Cuba, Kan., and
that very day Brown, it la said, dismantled
his office, removing the few effects he had
In It
Some persons were Inclined to criticise
County Attorney Hess for the position he
took In these liquor cases but the outcome,
Mr. Heas feela, entirely vindicated htm.
From the outset Mr. Hess was of the
opinion that Brown did not come to Couri
( ell Bluffs to enforce the Iowa liquor law
from a moral standpoint but that In bring
ing the many suits against saloonkeepers
ha had an ulterior motive. The general
opinion la that Brown did not leave Coun
cil Bluffs with his pocketbook empty and
that to a partial extent he accomplished
what he came here for.

had discussed the matter with a certain
party, who would be willing, he thought,
to put up' a suitable building provided the
board would agree to rent It. While not
giving anv particulars, Mr. Anderson said
the location of the building would be all
right. The committee on buildings and
grounds, of wtilch Mr. Anderson Is chair
man, was Instructed to secure. If possible,
a suitable location for the manual training
department and report at the regular meet

pearl-handled pocket knlvea.
Holton, who is a man of good appearance
and well dressed. Is said to have been seen
around Council Bluffs for the last month
or two. A few weeks ago a valuuable
fur Jacket was missed from the Hunter
store, and as Holton had been in the
store a number of times, noting, as Mr.
Hunter thought, rather auspiciously, he
attributed the theft of the garment to him
and furnished Detective Callahan with a
description of the suspect.
ARRANGES FOR MANUAL TRAINING
Board Deeldee Old High School Not
Salted to Firsoit,
The old high school building will not be
used for (Tie manual training department
to be established In the public school of
this city. This was definitely decided at
the meeting of the Board of Education last
night. The old building, however, will not
be dismantled for the present, a the board,
by resolution, last night agreed not to do
anything with It for at least thirty daya
in order to give the Commercial club an
opportunity to secure a normal college or
some educational Institution a a tenant
for It. The resolution provided that in the
event of the Commercial club securing a
suitable tenant, the board would lease the
building for ten years for nothing.
Cox A Bhoentgen. the board's architects,
who had made a thorough examination of
the old high school building with Member
Anderson, reported that it would cost
110,100 to put the outside of the structure
and the first floor in proper condition, thla
estimate. Including heating and plumbing,
while to repair the entire building would
mean-16,004 additional.
The report from the committee appointed
by the CommerclaJ club, consisting of M. F.
Rohrvr, Mar Bourielu and A. C. Graham,
eulogising the old structure and asking that
It be retained, was recelvod, and In com
pliance with the request of the commit
tee, the resolution deferring Its destruc
tion for at least thirty days was adopted.
After disposing of the matter of tho old
high sohool the board discussed that of
obtaining a suitable place for the manual
training department. It was decided 'there
was no space In any of the present school

There were no signs when Judge Smith
McPherson convened the special session
of United State court In thla city yes
terday of the presence of any railroad at
torney or any Indication that the rail
roads Intended taking any action In oppo
sition to the t-cent passenger rate, which
goes Into effect In Iowa on July V A
state official who was In the city yes
terday from Des Moines, gave It a his
opinion that the Iowa roads had no In
tention of fighting the S-cent rate law, da
splfte recent rumors to the contrary. He
said: "Recent reports from the Iowa roads
show that for some time past passenger
rates have even been something less than
I cent per mile. I do not remember the
exact figures, but I believe they were
either 1.88 or 1.8 cents per mile on the
average. This being the situation, I do
not see how the railroads In this state
could well com Into court and oppose
the t-oent rate."
The Lake Manawa liquor Injunction case
came before Judge McPherson In the shape
of an application from C. W. Atwood, Q.
H. Scott and other directors of the Council
Bluffs Fish and Game Protective asso
ciation for permission to file a petition of
intervention In the receivership suit
brought by the Interstate Amusement
company against T. J. O'Brien and others
at the lake. The petition recited that tho
plaintiffs had brought In the district court
a suit to enjoin the sale of intoxicating
liquor at the lake resort, which suit had
been transferred on application of the de
fendant to the United States court; that
the receiver appointed by the United Plates
court on application of the Interstate
Amusement company to take charge of the
business of R. H. and T. J. O'Brien at the
lako pavilion, was engaged In the illegal
sale of liquor and asked the court to order
him to refrain from so doing. Attorney
Tlnley, on behalf of the receiver and other
defendant, opposed the application, and
the matter likely will be taken up by
Judge McPherson today. Atwood and his
associates also filed a petition to remand
the Injunction suit to the state court.
Judge McPherson likely will pass on this
also today.
In the case of the Omaha Br Id re A
Terminal Railway company agalnat Charles
R. Hannan and others, arising from the

large extent of land on the west side of
the Missouri river. Judge McPherson yes
terday Issued a decree in conformity with
the stipulation entered into between the
state of Iowa, represented by Attorney
General Byers, and the Illinois Central
Railway company. The decree places the
title to the land in question In the state
of Iowa, and In consideration of 15,000, to
be paid by the railroad company, the state

In the Alexander Armstrong bankruptcy
case, the court Issued an order permitting
