TWO APPRAISEMENTS NOW MADE Oae Plain Value of Plant at "even Ilandrt-d Thousand Dollars Thought br Home IV ot Too High. Conservative members of the city coun are not enthusiastically disposed to rush Into condemnation proceedings against the Council Bluffs city waterworks until bet ter Informed upon the various phases of the situation. An appraisement of the plant was made some years ago by Engi neer W. A. KK-rstead for fcou.OUO. and a later one by Engineer A I void for the water company of 1700,000. U I recognized that the plant has not iUi. orated In value since, and that probably the latter figures would more nearly represent Its true value t this time. The present Indebtedness ot the city would hardly admit of extensions to the plant, however, much needed, by another bond Issue, the present bond Issue being made under a special act ot the legislature which allows bond Issues to pay for muni cipal plants. It Is the opinion of well Informed au thorities, including; several members of the council that all costs of the condemnation proceedings would have to be borne by the city, which would be a sung sum In the procurement of expert witnesses, legal as sistance outside the city solicitor and all costs for holding the court. As the matter now stands the council. while anxious to have the mater settled, will go alow In the premises until every point of view Is fully and carefully considered. Receiver Edward W. Hart, for the wa ter company, believes that the attitude of the water company Is misunderstood and said: 'We have always been willing to meet the citizens half way In any reasonable settlement ot the waterworks question. We at one time offered to appoint an ap pralser to act 'with one appointed by the city and set a talr value, on the plant, and announced to the council that our appraiser was ready, but nothing was ever done about It." Nervy Thief Takes Harness Off Horse Bartel & Miller Find Animal Wander ing Where it Had Seen Turned Loose. . The grocery store of Bartel & Miller at 100 West Broadway will bear testimony to the nerve some thieves have. About noon a horse belonging to the firm as one of the delivery outfit was enjoying its noon luncheon yesterday In the stable. when some chap slipped Into the stable and deliberately led the horse out of the stable, took It up In the weeds about a block from the store, and divesting It of the harness, turned the horse loose, hiding the harness in the weeds, with the evident Intention of going back after It after dark or at some other convenient time. The horse strayed away and a searching party was sent out, when the animal was found near the Benton street bridge, surveying that new structure, but there was no har ass on the animal. A search was then Instituted for the har ness and It was finally found neatly hidden In the weeds In the rear ot 112 East Broad way, where It had been planted by the thief. STRANGER FAILS IN EFFORT TO PASS A BOGUS CHECK Cashier of John Beno Company Is on Watch and, Saves Firm Soma Money. About 4 o clock yesterday afternoon a Stranger put In an appearance at the John Beno company's store and wanted to pur chase a 15 hat. He presented In payment therefor a check for 152.80, made out on one of the check forma of the New York Tailoring company of No. $10 Broadway, and asked for the change. . Cashier F. L. Ellis of the Beno store was a little skeptical about the check and the numerous endorsements on It which led him to think that It wasn't straight and he proceeded to make some inquiries. In the meanwhile the stranger began to think of another engagement he had elsewhere about that time, and he didn't seem to care about the change anyhow or the hat either, so he just gently dropped out of sight. , Efforts to find him were un availing ajnd ,ho succeeded, In making his getaway.. , It was later learned that the chock blank had been stolen from the New York Tailor ing establishment . and waa a clear and palpable forgery. The police have been given a good de scription of the stranger and unless he got out ot town on one of the early evening trains his arrest la only a matter ot time. A stranger answering the description of the man was observed in the New York Tailoring establishment early In the after noon, but just how he happened to get hold ot one ot the firm's checks Is not known.
