SHOT BY ROBBERS
BERT FORNEY OF COUNCIL
LUFFS INSTANTLY KILLED,
UROEMES INS ESCAPE
Only a Meaner Description Can Be
Given .of Them Both Shabbily
Dressed. Without Overcoats, and
Wore Slouch Hats.
COUNCIL. BLUFFS, la. Bert For
ney was shot and instantly killed in
this city Friday sight by two robbers.
Forney 'was sitting in his saloon at
102S West Broadway, jast east of the
Northwestern depot, at 10:30, playing,
a game of cards with James Chaney.
There was no one else in or about the
place at the time.
The two holdup men entered the rear
ccor of the place and the first the oc
enpants knew cf their presence was the
command "Hold up your hands.' In
stead of complying Forney made a
move as if to draw a revolver from his
hip pocket and th robbers immediate
ly opened fire. The first shot went
wide of the mark, passing through the
stove, near which Forney and Chaney
were sitting, the ball imbedding itself
in the woodwork of the building.
Chaney relied off his chair on the
floor zs though shot and the robbers
paid no further atention to him. For
ney, however, jumped up and started
to run for the front door. The rob
bers fired two more shots at him. both
of which took effect with the excla
mation. "Oh. my God. Forney fell
and apparently expired instantly, at
least he was dead when the first per
sons reached his side and was not
heard to speak again after making the
one erclamation. The body fell partly
in the room occupied by the salcon and
partly in a hallway into which a side
door opens. Forney's revolver was
found on the floor under his body, but
it had not been dischagred-
lnimed.'atcly after the shooting the
two robbers ran out the back door,
making no eflort to take anything from
the saloon. After passine cut the door
they disappeared as completely as
though the earth had swallowed them
up. not the least trace of them having
been secured.
Immediately after their departure
Chaney ran out and gave the alarm.
Among the first to respond was Sher
iff Cousins, who had been standing
only a block away, and being attracted
by the shots, had already started for
the scene. The police were also noti
fied at ence but neither they nor the
sheriff have been able to secure the
least clue as the identity of the mur
derers or their whereabouts. Coroner
Trsynor was also among the early ar
rivals and had the body of Forney
taken to Cutler's undertaking rooms.
Chaney was so badly frightened that
he was able to give only a meager de
scription of the murderers. He sayj
one of them was short and thick set.
the otter somewhat taller. Both were
shabbily dressed, wore black slouch
hats, handkerchiefs partly over their
faces and had no overcoats.

so much snow this winter. Nearly
everyone ran out of hay. but every

horse teams loaded with grain go out

the month, but if they all feed plenty
of grain they won't lose any.

outlook and the time is regarded as
opportune for closing a prominent

PRINCETON. N. J. Former Presi

relative to his intended visit to St.

cises of the Louisiana Purchase ex
position: "I have had no intention of going
any further than St. Louis and intend
returning as soon as possible by the
most direct route, and yet in some
way it has been given out that I was
to go to the Pacific coast and visit
Colorado and California, and I do not
know how many other states and ter
ritories, and in consequence of this I
have received numerous letters from
people living in those localities mak
ing requests based entirely upon the
truth of these reports. It may be
amusing to those who start such ru
mors, but it produces a reverse effect
on those who are made the victims
of such an ab3urd canard."

tkms made'ky emcials of the Wabash
system that the defendants were con
spiring to interfere with interstate
tramc and the transmission of United
States aaails.
L. N. Jndson of St. Louis, special
counsel for the brotherhoods, stated
to the Associated Press that he aad
Colonel Wells H. Btodgett, general
solicitor of tke Wabash Railroad
company, were makiag efforts tc
bring all tke parties in iaterset to
getker and tnnt in nis opinion an
amicable agreement would be arrived
at and that there would be no strike.
Colonel BIodgetL when seen after
court, was apparently depressed by
the decision. When asked if an ap
peal would be taken, ke said: "It is
too early to say now whether, or aot
we will appeal."
In ais decision Judge Adams first
analyzes the bill of complaint upon
which the provisional restraining or
der was issued, saowiag that the se
rious part of the charge was that the
defendants aad entered into an un
lawful aad malicious conspiracy to se
cure recognition of their brother
hoods by falsely representing that
tke employes of the railroad are dis
satisfied with tkeir wages and condi
tions of service, when they were in
fact entirely satisfied and contented
with tke same; that the defendant
were about to exercise their powers
as supreme aad coatroUiag ofitcers ot
the brotherhoods of firemen and train
men to force an undesired strike upon
the men who were members of their
organizations; that the defeadants
threatened and were about to further
enforce their demands to execute their
conspiracy by preventing the railroad
from performing its duties as carrier
of interstate coaunerce and the maim
of the United States by preventing
their members who were working for
the connecting lines from interchang
ing traffic of the road and thus pre
venting the connecting lines from in
terchanging traffic with and affording
the Wabash the facilities therefor re
quired by the interstate acL
The gist of the conspiracy coming
within the jurisdiction of the federal
courts, as charge in the bill, was to
precipitate a strike undesired by the
men. and thereby, and by other means
specifically charged in the bill, to in
terfere with interstate commerce and
the mail service of the United States.
Upon the showing made that the
first step of the conspiracy, namely,
the ordering of such a strike, was im
mediately contemplated by the de
fendants, and that irreparable damage
would necessarily befall the railroad
unless a restraining order was forth
with issued, the same was done for the
purpose of holding the property and
the parties in statu quo until both
sides could be fully heard on the mo
tion to set aside or modify the order.
Leave was given to file such a mo
tion at any time within fifteen days.
