' Probably Fatal Acolilont. Yesterday forenoon a borious and per haps fatal accident occurred to an old gentleman named Bybuo , who lives in Hazel Del township , of which ho is ono of tha oldest settlers. He was riding to this city , in company with his grand daughter , in a democrat wagon , when , in ( going up the lla/ol Dell hill , the seat , went backwards , throwing the olti gen tleman out. Ho struck on his head , ren dering him unconscious , and the injuries ' com to bo very serious. He was taken ' S k to his home , and at last accounts ha a * in a very precarious condition. TESTING THE NEW ALARM , The Tire Bell Kept Ringing All the Day , THE SM-OON INJUNCTIONS. Detective Vnnnlcp Is Acquitted A Buclilon Until null Narrow KB- cape at Blniiawn Selling Property. A M or I ( in uo .lumper. About a month ago Denuty Sheriff Clattcrbuck arrested S. E. IJurdickon the charge of disposing of mortgaged prop erty. It was claimed that Ktisscll < fe Co. , of Silver City , had n mortgage on Hur- dick's horses and his crops , and that Hurdick sold the property and skipped. After the arrest Hurdick was placed in jail at Carson , but succeeded in breaking out. Since then the olllcers have had thuir eyes open for him , and yesterday Deputy Sheriir Hooker , of Carson , got track ot him , and after a hot chase cap tured him. Hurdick is a jrood runner and bounded over barbed wire fences with the greatest of ease , but was at last run down , but not until several shots had been lired to shake his ner\es. Ho was brought to this city and lodged in the re volving jail , from which he will not es cape ho readily. Hurdick has been in this aort of scrape several times before , but has always before this got out of them. 1'our instances arc recalled , one nbout seven j ears ago , when ho was ar rested for disposing of mortgaged prop erty , gave bail and disappeared. Abofit three years ago ho was arrested on a similar charge , but the matter was set tled. Two years ago J. W. Kodcfer caused his arrest on a similar charge , but this also was settled. His friends arc .said to have tired in helping him out , and will now let him help himself if he can. Testing the Fire Alarm. The tiic bell was riniring all of yester day. There were more lire alarms turned in than on any day in tha history of Council Bluffs , and all of them false ones. This was the result of the testing of the new Richmond lire and police alarm. Chief Temploton , of the lire department , went the rounds and turned in the vari ous boxes , and the police calls. The aldermen were stationed at the several department houses. Aldermen Metcalf and Hammer were at No. 1 and No. 'J , Alderman Wells at No. 4 , Aldermen Keller and Danfnrth at No. 3. Mayor ( Jronewpg was In the city marshal's of fice. where the police calls came in. The test was very satisfactory. Nearly every box came in exactly riglit. There was an error in the bending o box 11 , and box 18 came in with nine straight .strokes , instead of one and then eight. The er rors were slight anil were few , and the officials seemed well satisfied. Thcro has been some talk about the system not being an non-interfering one. When the Gamawcll and the Richmond were contending for the contract the Gamowoll claimed to have n non-inter fering .system , and pressed this point as an advantage over the Richmond , but the committee on examining into the matter found that there was no such thing as a strictly non-interfering system in 110 anywhere. If two different alarms were sent in at exactly the same second , they would interfere by any of the systems m use , but it would not hap pen within the range of probabilities that such a close coincidence should occur. One would be an instant quicker or slownr than the other. The test yesterday was an informal one. The city can now , if the test is deemed thus far fcatjsfactory , accept the system on the conditions of the contract. Hy these conditions the city is to pay ? . " > 00 within sixty days. Then in six months the second payment is to bn made , and the balance to bo paid in a year. The company in the meantime is under $3,000 bonus as a guarantee that the system gives satisfaction for two years. These bonds are to be signed by residents of this county , and although they are not filed yet , must bo filed before any money is paid by the city. In other words the city has ft guarantee covering the system or two years , and has ono year to try the ystcm before it makes its final settle- iiont for it. The Saloon Injunction * . The notices in the new injunction cases tgainst the saloons cause no little stir. The notices are all to the saloons not in cluded in the previous batch. They arc called upon to appear tor a hearing on he 4th of Juno in the district court. I'hcs'o cases are brought before Judge 'arson , Judge Thornoll having had the other cases. The suits have been com menced in the name of a private citizen , Instead of the state , and this citi/en is A. Overtoil. This difference in the form of the action may cause new questions to arise. It is said that tno purpose in thus bringing the suits , was to avoid certain complications arising from bringing of suits in the name of the state. In these latter cases it has to be bhowu that the county attorney either refuses or neglects to prosecute the suits. Then a private eiti/.cn can bring action in the name of the state. The county attorney , Col. Daily , has not been mked to commence proceedings , and has been wholly ignored in the matter. The suits are private ones , so the question of his neglect or refusal will not enter into the matter. These now cases are to bo fought as earnestly and shrewdly as pos sible , but there scorns to bo little clmnro for the defendonts in the district courts. Their only hopes , beyond thnt of tempo rary delay , seems in the federal court , which has not rendered its opinion yet. It is said that some of those who wern proviouslyonjoined have been selling liq uorn , and that they will soon bo served with notices to appear and show cause why they should not bo lined for con tempt. It is daily expected that such violators lators of the injunctions will be brought before the bar. Cheap storage in cither small or car load lots at Nos.SVand''O Pearl street , J. It , SnyJer.

In the course of the trial it appeared that Vannico had been employed by the Russell manufacturing company to shadow one of its traveling men named Young , who was suspected of playing poker on the road. Mr. Har ris , the manager of the company's busi ness hero , says that the investigation re sulted in a complete vindication of Mr. Young , it apnoaring that some malicious person , desiring to make trouble for Mr. Young , having written an anonymous letter making the charge. Mr. Young was found to bo free from the vice of poker playing , and is still iu the employ of thn company , and fully trusted by them. The jury was out butn short time and brought in a verdict acquitting Vannice. The young man's mother , who has been a close attendant upon the trial , was overjoyed with the result. Drs.
