A kcrosena lump exploded Wednes
day night In n residence on Madison street
juit south of Broadway , and caused a cry
of fire , in response to which the Phoenix
hook and ladder boys turned out , but
oven they w ro not needed , the blaze being
mippreased by hand , with no particular
damage.
The tickets for the opcratta , "The
I and of Nod.i' ' to be given at Dohaney's
next Tuesday night , have been placid on
sale ot Seaman's bookstore , where reserved
eats can be hod. The entertainment
promises to be one of the moat pleasing
and vailed ever given here , nnd those who
miss it will miss much.
' Mmo. Rentz'a minstrels sadly cheap-
pointed those who gathered nt Dohany'a
hall Wednesday night. There WAS not
enough merit to the entertainment to
please those who expected that , and not
enough sniuttlnoss to suit thosa who
thought they went going to BOO a leg-show.
A real specimen of the genus tr mp
yesterday canvassed a portion of Main
street for food , and for money to buy fire
water. Ho made so many throats , acted
so ugly , and was so drunk , that Constable
llosecrans collared him and led him before
Justice Abbott , wbp postponed the trial
.until the fellow could got sober enough to
plead intelligently. The prisoner obscured
hia identity by giving his name as John
Smith.
Yesterday afternoon two men were
noticed walk behind a building nearly opposite -
posito the court house , and after chatting
together for a few minutes , proceeded to
blows , with the deliberation of oontctants

for several minutes , nud then neemingly
* atisfied put on their coata , and walked
off together , wiping the blood from their
notes , nnd hunting for a pump ,
Joseph Miller , of Silver Greek , ar
rested on complaint of li. 1 < \ Ellsworth
for threatening to shoot the latter , was
yesterday discharged by Judge Ayleg-
worth. It appears that they were both
V members of a ball club , which is in the
habit of having a > Sunday game on ground
belonging to Ellsworth. The two had nn
old grievance , and when Miller c.uno to
play last Sunday Ellsworth ordered him
away and pushed him. Blown followed ,
lillawoith hit Miller with n board , and the
latter threatened to shoot if be banged
him over the head again ,

A Petition Picked from ft Pigeon Hole
by The Boo.
There are few men in the cify who
wield moro political influence than
Pat Lacey , chief of the fire depart
ment and keeper of aaaloon on Broad
way. Ho haa many acquaintances , it
a shrewd and enthusiastic worker ,
and haa many wires which ho can pull
with the gruntcst of case. On this
account , probably , there BOOTHS to bo
a general tendency among officials and
politicians to either fall down and
worship him , or at least to beware of
offending him and calling down his
wrath. His strongest power aooms to
bo the fear that ho excites that ho will
wield his political influence for the
spoiling of any pot schemes , which
those who oppose him may devise.
TIIK BEE having no axes to grind , no
friends to shield or foes to prosecuteJ !
* I
dooms it just that the public shall I
have possession of a certain document
which has had n history , but has
hitherto been kept from the public.
It will bo remembered that a short
time ago there was a struggle oror the
position of chief of the fire depart-
ment. Lacey and Frank Guanolla
were the chief candidatesnnd > ho contest -
test was close. It resulted , however , in
Lacey being re-elected. It remained
for the council to confirm him , nnd
some citizens , who objected to him ,
claiming that a man in his business
should not bo given such a position ,
signed a protest against his confirma-
tion. This protest was never pro-
seated to the council publicly nnd
formally , but its existence was known
to some of the aldermen , and for
sundry reasons it was doomed best not
to have it pressed , aa it would raisn
an issue , which would bo "un
pleasant. " The petition or protest
WBB tuokod into a pigeon hole , and
the matter waa quietly hushed up ,
Lacey boinqconfirmod ndthrGuanclla
faction satisfied by the appointment ,
by Mayor Bowman , of one of the
family as a policeman.
THK BKK haa uncovered one of thcso
petitions , and gives it to the public
It is said that others of like rcadiu
were circulated and secured uignaturr
not here given , but this ono will aul
fico. It reads ;
COUNCIL BiAJi'rni Ja. ,
March , 1882.
To the City O.mncll :
( jonlltnwu We , the undersigned
citizona and tax payers , do reaped
fully petition your honorable body note
to appcint Pat Lacey chief of the fir
department , for the following reraon
Many of the young firemen of ou
city are persona of correct habits am
moral principles. They do not care t
visit saloons or gambling houses in
qrder to consult with the chief on th
fire department business.
Wo aak you , therefore , etihor to require
quire Lacey to give up hia unlawfu
jusinoss or that you refuao to elect o
confirm' him to the important poaition
named.

The council did not evidently care g
to tackle this question of tire chief , j
Our previous council elected a respect
table man , Mr. Oliver , as chief , but
had to take it back by demand of tlu
fire department , which Pat Lacey
seemed to have under his thumb , -
those members who do not love him
fearing him too much to oppose his
will. The petition was quietly put \
osido. Some of the petitioners have
wondered why nothing was said or
done about it , but after Lacoy'a con
Grmution the matter has rested easj
as being one of the things which , however
over much disliked , could not be
helped. It may revive the hope o
some of these to know that it is no
too late for them to hava a hearing
and perhaps the change they dcsir
may be effected.
There are many citizens vho , whatever
over may bo thought of Pat Lacey a
man , object to a man earn ing on i
business such as ho does orciipyiii ]
as important a position and \tioldiii | $
so much power in city affairs. The
chief of the fire department has him
self been fined for violating the city
ordinances , keeping his saloon opoi
in epito of the law , and only the other i
day ho was arrested by Marshal Jack
son for keeping his bar running Sun
day evening. It is understood that ;
Lacey fools very indignant about his
being thus brought before the bar ,
but good citizens will approve such
impartial action. Pat Lacey shall
hava no more rights , and no Jots
rights , than any other man. If
the ordinances era to bn enforced
is well to bring action against some
such leader , rather than pick outsomo
poor weakling , without iLoney , means
iiilluur.ee , Hi cuw u ( till pond-
lug , nnd the public mil watch with
eaecrncBs the rttult.
It will bo remembered that Mayor
Bowman , in bii iusuifural , endorsed
, Lacey ns follows "I cannot dis U
miss this subject without a particular
reference to the chief of that depart
ment , Mr , Lacey , wliojo equal for
skill and fidelity scarcely exists , but
Hfhoso compensation , in my judgment
not boon , and is not now , adequate
the service performed , and the ro- 10
iponeibility of the position , " The f
mapor'a opinion diflora greatly from
that sot forth in the petition , amen
the signers to which are men of we !
known standing and rcspecla
bility , and whoso opinion i
entitled to public consideration
It remains to bo Been whcthe
Lncoy's political power , hia influonc
over the mayor , hia control of the fin
department , and the fear of the roun
cil that by thwartino him the fire department
partmont would be broken up and the
city loft helpless.
There is another matter of interos
in this connection , which indicate
that there ia an undercurrent nt work
which mry result in Mr. Lncoy'a hav
ing his official head taken ofT. At the
same meeting of the council at whicl
Lncoy was confirmed , Aid , Siodentop
introduced a resolution instructing the
committee on fire department to examine
amino into the expediency nnd prob
able cost of a paid fire dopar'.mcnt ,
The report is to bo made at the /OKU
lar mooting in May.
The significance of this move may
not occur to many. Under the prea
ont state of affairs the council hardly
dare interfere with Lacey , lest by his
control of the department ho coult
retaliate by having the unpaid mem
bers withdraw , and leave the city ia
a lurch. If a paid department ia
secured nuch a general desertion wil
not bo likely to occur. The poa-
aibility of auch a crisis under the
present arrangements doubtless , in
fluenced j the council somewhat , ao thn
the fact scorns to stand forth that Pat
Lncoy controls the fire department
the department controls the counci
and the mayor. The move towards i
paid department looksas if an nttomp
would bo made to break from such i
thraldom of fear and favor.
In justice to the fire department i
should bo said that many nro no
staunch supporters of Lacey , am1
while perhaps they nro not inclined to
make any break , yet they would b <
relieved if his power waa broken
Among so many respectable citizen
as Council Bluffs possesses it is atrango
indeed i , if tbo thcro are not sovora
who would accept the position , am
who could fill it well. The only pro
ludea I needed for a change are frank
noaa , nerve and determination to breal
loose 1 from such ono man power.

MISSING MAN.

A Threat Overheard in a Snloon
Few Mights Ago ,
There is some little stir in the vir
cinity cf Duck bottom ovtr the sudden
don and mysterious disapperanco of i
man named Nelson Coy , a resident o !
thnt locality. Ho was about his homo
as usual Monday morning , and nbou
10 o'clock in the forenoon made the
remark that ho was going to got some
food for his pigs , and started off. Ho
has not yet returned , and his friends
are greatly excited oror the matter ,
nnd are anxiously trying to solve the
mystery.
Ono theory ia thnt ho has boon
bully dealt with , It has been report
od.to the friends thnt n few nights ago
lie WAS in a saloon , and thcro ho had
a row with n man who threatened io
shoot him , nnd thnt ho would follow
aim to the bitter end , etc. His eud
don disappearance so soon after leads
naturally to the supposition tint per
haps thin threat has been carried out ,
and that he has boon toully mur
dered ,
There acema to hava been no ap
parent reason for the man * o volun
tarily absent himself in this strange
manner. Ho is n man who in height
is about five feet four inches , is uboul
thirty-iivn yenrs old , nnd has a mous
tache. Ho lost his wife by death n
few wonks ago , and has boon living
wiih his mother since. The old lad ;
is nearly beside herself on account ol
the anxious suspense , and it is to bi
hoped that she may soon bo roliovec
by his return or uomo tidings of his
whereabouts
