Cotr.STM. Bi.rm , la. , Sept. 0. 18SO Tti
the Kditor of the HKI ; : About fourteen ot
fifteen months ago there appeared in the
Hr.i : an article in regard to a Mr. I. N.
ItarrMt. It was well known nt the time
by Mr. Harrctt's friends that the said ar
ticle in many points was untrue and ion
fiequently unjust. The way was slim to
refute or make corrections of the1 article ,
as the HKI : had simply copii-tt it from
some of its Leadville or other Colorado
exchanges , and al1. that could bo done
was to read ami give utterance to com
ments In condemnation of the article te
anyone that happened to bo near.
Mr. Harrett had been a faithful and
ufllclcnt olllcor for years in Colorado ,
making for himself a clear and prom !
record , yet winning no great newspaper
notoriety ; but with what rapidity , when
ho liadj under the inlluem-o ot drink ,
laid himself amenable to the law , it got
into print and travelled far ami wide
over the country. I happen to have per
sonal knowledge having been there at
the time of gallant and faithful services
rendered to the state of Colorado by Mr.
Harrett as constable , policeman , marshal ,
deputy sheriff and detective * , but vry :
little , just brief complimentary items
occasionally , ever got into print : but how
cpiickly , when lie got in trouble , was it
proclaimed through the press , impressing
those who had no personal acquaintance
with him as being : i desperado of the
worst typo , a rutlian and hard case gen-
vrally , and many who had seen him , on
reading the article , wondered if it could
be the cool , nervy , inlropid and gentle
manly Ike Harrett. . whom they had seen
face , without a shadow of fear , what ap
peared certain death , and arrest murder
ers , clear a town of bunko steerers , quell
a dance hoiibu row in short order , and.
in a superior manner , keep peace and
order in a town whore law-abiding citi-
/ens were in the minority. Mr. Harrett ,
while an ollicer of the law in Colorado ,
ever proved himself a manly nnd an clli-
cient one , and made such a record fet
himself that any old settler in the county
would feel pride in thinking it was made
by a Poltawottamio county farm boy ,
Mr. Kditor , 1 have digressed far beyond
what 1 intended. 1 intended to onlj
pcribblq a line directing your attention
to an item in the enclosed paper , in
which yon will see Mr. Harrett has been
pardoned by the governor of Colorado ,
and as a petition was sent from here to
the governor of Colorado soliciting the
pardon , and signed by the mayor ol
Council Bluffs and more than a hundred
other prominent citi/.ens of this city , I
deemed it an item worthy of publication
in the all-reaching BKE. C. C.
Ike Hnrrett Is in town this mornln lmvlnc

Scant News oTthu Skeleton.
Hut little additional was learned yestcr
day in regard to the skeleton of the un
known man , found near Graham avenue ,
as narrated in yesterday's BEB. There
were various theories but none wind :
seemed to be borne out by anything beyond -
yond the imagination of those who sel
them forth. One was to the tilled
that the man was probably the
tramp , who belonged to the ganj !
who set upon Detective Price , of the Milwaukee
waukeo & St. Paul , and who got awaj
with a bullet in him. Jn that lively light
Price's revolver wad kicked out of his
hand , and picked up and carried off b
some one of the gang. The theory was
received by many that this man getting :
away in a wounded condition crawled inti
the woods , and there lay down ami died
The revolver foutul near him was sup
posed to bo the missinir one owned bi
Price. Yesterday Price took a look a
the gun , and found it was not like his los
one at ali , and that spoiled a sensation ii
that direction. The revolver was badlj
rusted , and those who hart vivid imagina
lions could easily see that it was coverct
with blood.
The supposition that the deud man wai
the missing Ivost , was also nnstipportct
by any facts , and strongly contradictei
by man1 details of the ( hiding.
Another story was started to the cffec
that sonic time ago two boys found i
"
basket in the grove" near wlu'ro the skeleton
ton was found. This basket contained i
rubber coat , and some smaller in tides
and some letters and papers. The pun )
was at once made to the conclusion tlm
the basket belonged , to the dead man
and tim notes would throw some lighi
upon the matter. Tim police take IK
stock in this , however , as they urn certain
tain that the basket belonged to u fellov
whom thei' were shadowing for semi
time , and who hung around in that par
of the city for several days , and then lof
the city.
There was also a report to the olfcc
that the man was probably the one wlu
was badly thumped at a dance noai
there on the Fourth of July , and win
was one of the Omaha delegation presen
here then , but that man , theuighsoriousl ]
hurt , was put in a hack ami taken tc
Omaha that.night by his friends.

The Union I'nclllo Tnxon.
The county board of supervisors met
yesterday in regular session. The board
will hardly complete its labors before the
last of the week. Among the important
matt era brought to its attention yesterday
was the taxation of the Union Pacific
railway property in this city. Tax Agent
W. H. Russell , of that company , appeared
before the board and explained the pecu
liar situation. Heretofore the Union
Pacific property in this city has been as
sessed the same as any other property ,
the assessed valuation amounting to
about -400,000. . Some time ago some one ,
bound to give the big corporation a dig in
the ribs , went before the executive coun
cil of the state , nnd called the attention
of that body to the fact that the Union
Pacific should be taxed the same as other
railways. The board looked over the
figures , and finally concluded to assess the
Union Pacific at the rate of glOO.SOOu mile
for 2t7 ! miles in Iowa. This made the total
assessment ? i.17,000 ! , or only a little over a
half of what tne assessment had been be
fore. The intention of the movers waste
to have this as an additional tax to what
was already assessed by the city council.
In looking into the matter , "however ,
grave doubts have arisen about this , and
the company claim that there is no way
of getting around the tax assessed by the
executive council of thcstntciaml thatlhc
property cannot be made to pay two
taxes. They naturally prefer to pay the
tax on the assessment made by the state
rather than to pay on the assessment
of the city council. T.'ic county board
talked over the matter and. referred it to
the county attorney , who will consult
with the city attorney and report next
Friday. It is understood that the city
council is inclined to force the Union
Pacific to pay taxes on both assessments ,
while the county board is inclined to let
the company off on the local assessment.
The Union Pacific ollicialssocm confident
that the meive has resulted in a good
thing for the company , as by it there is
an excellent opportunity to save consid
erable .
taxes.

should be compelled to lose the taxes.
County Supervisor Graham suggested
that City Engineer Tostovin investigate
Ttith the committee , ami see how many
miles of track the Union Pacific had in
this city. He thought it had nearer eight
miles than the 2.117 assessed.
The matter was referred to a commit

Hard on tlio Soldiers.
It must be a grand thing to bo a
Cossack : but carnivorous mortals would
do well to think twicn before enlisting in
the Russian nrniv. The holy synod oFthe
Russian church appears toliavc come to
the conclusion that the c/.ar's army is
overfed or inclined to levity , and has ac
cordingly issued an .injunction that all
NVeilnesclays and Fridays , Lent , and the
six great clays of repentance must be
strictly observed as fasts. T,6 members
of the western church such a mandate
might seem severe , but in Russia it is
something very serious indeed. Easter
Lent lasts there for seventy-nine days ;
and besides that there are three other
Lents , extending in all-over ninety days
and sometimes more , which means that
for more than half the year the Russian
soldier must eat neither flesh , eggs , nor
sugar , and in the long Lent not oven fish.
It looks hard on the soldi * r-s , but it must
be pleasant for an economical govern
ment to lind an established church meet
ing its views so agreeably. CZ3
