A sorrowful looking funeral proces

yesterday morning , pn an old sled
drawn by a pair of ponies was a little

The case of the Ferry company against
Brown , filed 'in the courts over the
river , has in s-ome way excited in the
minds of many an impression that the
title of Brown's addition is in some way
attacked. This appears to be n needless
alarm , the ease not being of that na
ture , and in no way touching upon the
title of that addition. The o who own
properly there can therefore take their
tlaunl sloop in peace.
The Congregational church choir is
preparing to give n concert at the

church quartette in the city , without
doubt. Mrs. Wadsworth , the soprano ,

Mrs. Evans as contralto , Mr. Wcstcott
as tenor , and Prof. MctJevmkl as bass ,
it is difficult to conceive of a stronger

Council UlulTs real estate Is becoming
PO valuublo Hint perrons arc rotuly to
light to poshcsH it. Until within u com
paratively short time certain portions
of the bottom lands hereabouts were
supposed to have no especial value. Now
everything that looks like dirt and
sticks to the boots is eagerly sought
after. The impending legal controversy
respecting the title to the land extend
ing from Thirty-fourth street west and
from Sixteenth avenue to the pumping
works ( about U40 acres ) has already
been referred to in the HUB. Within
the past week thing have come to pass
indicating that the light will bo preci
pitated and assume definite form at
once.
This land was pquattcd upon by a
number of persons years ago , when it
UOMCibed no value. They cleared it of
brush , ditched it and put it in condition
for tilling. Crops were raided with
varying success until 1S82 when the
great overflow occurred. After the
water had subsided it was found that
great quantity of rich deposit had
been left , and since then good crops , in
good quantity have been produced there.
Now that the grade lines of the streets
have been run it appear.- , that nearly
the entire tract was filled to grade by
the overflow of six years ago. llcnco
the property possesses great value.
At various times during the piist four
years notices of ejectment have been
served upon the holders of this realty ,
but no notice has been taken of them.
Various schemes have been devised by
persons having no legal title to the
lu-ojxjrty to secure possession by remov
ing those now there , so that all means ,
whether just or not , which are used for
that purpose have como to bo regarded
with u great deal of suspicion. Tlio

Charfrrd With Crimes.
In the district court yesterday the
time was wholly taken up in the trial
of Wilscy , ono of the trio of young men
arrested for burglarizing Mr. Maurer's
residence. The three wore jointly in
dicted , but demanded and wore granted
separate trials. The evidence was not
over strong on the part of the state , but
it received some help by the cross-exam
ination of the witnesses for the defense ,
and the defendant himself , who went on
the stand. The three wore prowling
about the city the night of the burglary ,
and among the incidents of their rounding
Iof
ing up of the town was the stealing of
an ax from Cole & Colo's hardware
10m
stare on Main streetj which was taken
by them to a dive near the Northwestern
itar
ern depot , where they sold the ax ar
50 cents. Ono pf the trio that night id
a rag wrapped around his hand , and
begged for money on the strength of
his pretended disability , although as
was afterwards shown ho bad $8 or $0 in
his pocket , and needed no alms. Ono :
of the strongest bits of evidence against
Wilsoy was his identification by the
girl employed in Mr. Maurer's family ,
who was awakened by his entering her
room and saw him distinctly. Another
strong evidence against him was the
finding of a piece of knife blade in the
sash of a window of the Bullard residence
dence , where an attempt at burglary
was made that very night. When ll
soy wus arrested the knife in his pocket (
had a broken blade , and the piece fitted
it exactly.
There was considerable dilllculty in
getting this evidence before the jury ,
owing to the rulingson technical points ,
but Colonel Daily in his arguments on
these objections , and in his proffers onof
evidence made it clearly apparent what
ho was trying to prove on this point.
The jury in the case of W. B. Cuppy > ,
of Avocu , returned a verdict yesterday
morning acquitting him of the charge
of assault with intent to do bodily in-
jury. Cuppy had some trouble with hoed
tenant of ono of his farms , a man named
Friol. The latter was going out of f a
field with a load of grain which Cuppy
claimed ho had no right to take , as ho
had received his full share of the op
before this. Cuppy closed the gate ,
and refused to let him drive out with
the load. Freil raised his whip , and
Cuppy struck him a terrible blow. The
jury evidently thought ho was justified
in thus protecting his property , although
though they wore fifteen hours in reach
ing this decision.
The next case to bo tried is that of
Hugh Thompson. Thump-on is charged
with bigamy and with 'perjury. Hois
an Omaha citizen and has been ie fl
tor of waterworks in that city. A ea r
or more ago ho came over to tills t-ido of
the river with a , woman , got out a licence
cence , and proceeding to Justice Bar -
nett's otllce , was married. Soon after [
another woman appeared on the scone ,
claiming'to bo'Mrs. Thompson No. 1 ,
uud she has boeu making it utorcsting
for him oTor since. She claims that
wife No. 2 was a member of their house
hold for some time , and tlmt her hus
band became shamefully intimate with
her before the ceremony on Iowa soil.
She nas a long and rather sensational
narration of her wrongs , and the case
promises to cause considerable dirty
linen to bo hung out to dry on this judi
cial line.

Nick O'Brien , of the police force , is
doing n thriving business buying up fee
bills of witnesses in attendance upon
court. He gets them for about 50 cents
on a dollar , which IB a pretty fair inter
est on the use of the money , as the
county board meets every three months
and allows the bills. There has been
some criticism of O'Brien's methods of
doing this business , but ho justifies him
self bv ' declaring that ho has the perfect
right'to buy up these fees as cheap as ho
can , and make what ho can. Ho denies
that ho over seeks to mislead these with
whom he deals , and that they do not
nave to sell to him at a discount , if they
prefer to wait until the board meets and
allows the claims. He takes his chances
on the board allowing the witness fees ,
but the chances seem pretty good. As
he has several hundred dollars in the
business it must bo decidedly profita
ble , and ho will soon bo able to retire
from the force.

Where's the Nearest Alarm ?
It is a fact to which all will bear wit
ness that Council Bluffs has ono of the
inb
best organized lire services in the state.
Its arrangements for transmitting
alarms combines a police call with the
tiie alarm. Both can be used in con
junction or each separately. These
boxes arc well distributed over the city
sc that good protection in this depart-
scm
fully explained through the city pre s
time and again. In addition to this ,
printed cards showing the location of
the different boxes and the keys to
tl
tlai
among the people , and yet there is a
aim
most general and lamentable ignorance
upon the subject. This ignorance is in
excusable. : More than this where the
interests of the whole are so closely al
lied with the individual , this neglect is
almost culpable. The city as a whole is
fully entitled to all the benefits intended
fiU
fin bo secured by the expenditure of this
moneyIt : might as well be without
this Vystem , as , having it , the people
will not learn how to use St. A great
conflagration may some time visit us
which might have been averted had the
discoverer of the fire known how to use
the alarm and where the nearest box
was located.
The same facts are true of the police
call. Only two nights ago a lady living
in the eastern part of the city dis
covered some ono stealing coal. Not
withstanding the fact that an alarm box
was located within a single block of the
house , she sent a boy ton blocks to the
police station for an officer. By the
time he arrived the thief was gone.
These instances are constantly oc
curring. The people have the appliance
with which to protect themselves and
every person should loose no time in
familiarizing himself with the location
of the box nearest his home. The same
knowledge should bo possessed by each
wife , son and daughter. Then , and not
until then , will the people of the city
get value received from the investment.
In this connection it may bo noted
that there is some complaint because
more keys to the boxes are not fur
nished. It is said that in some cases
there is only ono key , and it is liable to
occur that when this ono is wanted it
cannot bo had on account of the absence
of the family , or some other equally
good reason. There should bo at least
two to each box , and they should bo put
into the hands of responsible persons.
What the pcoplo want is the best possi
ble protection , and if the best possible
protection and of the suggestions heroin
given are followed they will have it ,

Sensitive PlniitH.
Some time ago the- school board de
cided to introduce an innovation in re
gard to appointing principals for the va
rious school buildings in the city. Pre
vious to the change the same principals
had been retained , and the policy had a
tendency to create a kind of aristocratic
fooling among some of these who occu
pied the positions , and caused them to
think that they must bo principals. It
fs now the custom to change the princi-
palship about among the teachers of the
various rooms , and so lit them all for
3ro
the positions. In this way there are
always some teachers in the building
qualified to take the place of principal
in case of sickness , and ut the same time
the teachers arc fitted to take charge 10of
schools in other places. When the
change was made , of course it created 10a
rather unpleasant feeling among some
of the "old timers , " and they were de
cidedly nettled at being required to give
way to others. This feeling did not
exist among all of them , and lias now )
almost outgrown , but some ot them still
feel the change , and can hardly give up
to their successors. Whore this is the
case it is very pleasing to the olTended
ono to annoy the now wincipal as much
as possible , and some of the means taken
to do this are quite surprising. A few !
days Hinco the teacher wno o turn it was
'
to'watch the scholars during play hours
at ono of the buildings happened to boone
ono of these dissatisfied ones. A dog [ ' {
ventured upon the grounds , and the
watcher was not slow to improve hem
chance to annoy the principal. She im
mediately sent her a note informing her
of the presence of the strange canine ' ,
and asking her to go out and drive 'i it
away. This is but ono of the many sim
ilar annoyances that are devised by the
disgruntled ones. The principal re
ferred to is saving all these notes , and
will soon have a sorapbook that will bole
interesting reading

A'member of one of the lumber firms
ofbe Jthls city stated yesterday"that the
books of his company would s-how miles
ofdc ever 6200,000 worth of lumber to ho
delivered to various parlies in this city
wi the next three months , and that
th amount did not include the Mcr-
riam block or the "Pacific " hotel. Another
gentleman , who is in a position to know
as much about miuh things as any ono ,
pulled out $1,000 , , and ottered to bet the
whole amount tlmt there would bo 600
mnv houses built and occupied in this
city during the prteent year. Through
out the city the lumber dealers , real
estate men , architects and contractors
nil say the same thing , and express
great { ' satisfaction at the present pros
pect ! for the year. The retail dealers
are all stocking up heavily for the
spririg trade , and the general impres
sion seems to ho that tins will bo a "big"

year. Over u carload of garden seed
fi
has been received , and more is on the
road. Preparations are being made in
all branches to feed and earo for the

A STRANGE STORY.
A Wire's Confession of Wtmler The
Victim TurttN Up Alive.
Rochester ( Minn. ) Post : A few days
ago a man sat in the otllco of County At
torney Eaton , n man who IB the central
figure of a queer story , neither a ro
mance , a drama nor a comedy ; hut con
taining some of the elements of each.
William II. Fisher , the man referred to ,
is a typical poor man. Ho is fifty-three
years old , while his wife is a robust , en
ergetic woman of forty. They have two
sons and a daughter. During their
married life of twenty-four years they
have lived around in different places in
Michigan , Fisher working at such jobs
as ho could got. generally wood chop
ping in the winter. While working' in
wood camp lust winter ho became ac
quainted with I. W. Wallace , a man of
forty-two ; a healthy , robust sort of a fol
low. From tlmt time Wallace has lived
in the Fisher family , and ho and
Fisher have worked together. Last
October the family moved to a
place in the woods ; in the town
of Monitor , eight miles from Bay City ,
Mich. , the place being rented by Wal
lace. They lived there in apparent sat
isfaction to all parties till the 4th of No
vember , when Fisher left his homo. Ho
says his only object in leaving was to go
to Dakota to take up a claim and make
a homo for his family. He claims there
was no unusual intimacy between Wal
lace and his wife , and that when ho left
homo his wife bade hiiri an affectionate
good bye , and ho suspected nothing
wrong. But it has been ascertained
that his send-off was a peculiar one.
Fisher , Wallace and Fisher's oldest son ,
Charley , n boy of sixteen , went to the
officer at Bay City having charge of the
county poor , and Vallaco represented
himself to the olllcer as being the head
of the family , that Fisher was stopping
with him , a'nd ho could not keep him
any longer , and if the otlicor would pay
Fisher's faro tot Chicago , Wallace
would contribute $0 towards it.
The officer seeing a chance to got
rid of n prospective county
charge , took Wallace's $0 and went out
and bought thoi ticket , and Fisher
started on his pilgrimage. It has been
ascertained that 'Wallace gave Fisher
$0 more , to send him beyond Chicago.
Fisher being thus got rid of , Wallace ,
had a clear title as head of the family ,
and seems to have boon such to all in
tents. Soon the suspicion became gen
eral that Wallace wild Mrs. Fisher had
made way with him , and they wore
both arrested pn the 3d of this month.
At the preliminary examination held nt
Bay City , Mrs. Fisher testified that she
murdered Fisher in the house in the
woods , pounding his head with a ham
mer ; and she told of washing away
blood , then stais of which were found
on the flood and walls and nro still
there. The boy Charlie testified th at
he was present and saw his mother mur
der his father with the hammer , that
ho helped Wallace to carry the dead
body to a place in the woods about a
milo froift the house , and that his
mother wont along carrying two spades ,
with which Wallace and the boy buried [
the murdered man. The boy claimed I
that ho could show the spot where the
body was buried , and a party of twenty
men , nine of whom wore officers , wont
with the boy , and ho led them through rl
the snow and among the roughest kind l
of fallen timber , to u place which ho
pointed out as the spot. The men
scraped away the snow nnd searched
thoroughly , but could find no sign of a
buried body. Mrs. Fisher , Wallnce.and
the boy wore committed to jail to await
trial for the murder. A few daj's ago it
was found that a letter had been re
ceived at Bay City by Mrs. Fisher , the
writing of which was believed to bo the
sumo ns that in neon tract that had been
written by Fisher. The letter was
from Kendall , Monroe county ,
Wisconsin. James Gilbert , an
intelligent farmer , who lived
adjoining Fisher , and who was well ac
quainted with him , wont to Kendall nnd
from there trnced him to Winona ilb
thcnco to Rochester. Marshal Knlb
soon found Fisher and took him in ens- '
tody. Ho was readily recognized by
his neighbor , Gilbert. Fisher seemed
greatly surprised to learn that ho was ilt
murdered corpse , nnd said ho hnd not
even been struck by his wife and could
not account in any way for the blood
stains in the house. His wife nnd son
had lied without the least npparont rea
son. Ho said ho was trying to make his
way to Carrington , in Dakota , near
Devil's Lake , whore ho had been told
that ho could probably get work. Mr.
Gilbert did not seem to have any use for
Fisher after finding him , beyond get
ting an affidavit from him as to his
movements since leaving his homo. The
county commissioner , however , objected
to entertaining Fisher , and finally on
Tuesday Fisher was given money and
started back for the Michigan woods.
DR. CARVER.
Description of Some of Ills Famous
I'Yuts In Shooting.
Dr. Carver recently gave an account
of his exploits- with a gun to n Sun Fran
cisco Call reporter. Ho said : nch
"When I left this city the first match
I had was at Omaha. 1 shot a rillo
against my opponent's shot-gun. I broke
! ) 'J glass b'alls out of 100 with the rifle
and won. In fact I had several matches
in America before I journeyed to Kng-
land to meet all comers , and won every
match I engaged in.
' In Europe I gave exhibitions of rifle
and shot-gun shooting before the prince
of Wales , Emperor William and many of
the great magnates and aristocrats of
the European countries.
"I challenged any man in England to
hhoot a match with a rifle , even ng
liberal handicaps , but not a single one >
would accept. That is why 1 had to give .
so many exhibition shootsbut ; they were
paying , however.
"I matched Crayshnw , a famous Eng
lish pigeon shot , to shoot mo a match ,
100 birds , for ViW ( a side. Ho killed
seventy-eight out of that number , and
J gra-sed nineU-three , the remaining
Bovon birds falling- dead just outside
the boundary1'Jh ? t'10 ' biggest
record ever made on. blue rooks with
any kind ot a gun ; the boundary HIM
eighty yards. ' . ' ' .
' . 'Alter thib mutch. I engaged' in ill -
other bout of 100 birds with Scott , the
great English pigeon ( shooter , and de
feated him.
"One of the biggest and hardest
games T tackled in England with the
shotgun was n frce/.o-out match wherein
fourteen of the crack shots of all Eng
land participated. Each man put up
81I.M ) , the winner to take all. The match
lasted three days , and the betting on
the outside was something surprising.
At the start the betting was eight to
two against me , hut later on it came
down to oven. Scott , my old opponent ,
downed all his men , and so did 1 , until
wo came together for the .shoot-off. The
betting was then about even , and I won ,
with my American colors flying , nnd
about $ (1,000 ( in pocket after the last bird
fell.
fell.'Must
'Must before I returned to America I
engaged in another glass-ball match
shoot with Scott. Ho cnmo nt mo like
n good fellow , but I lowered his colors
by breaking 099 balls out of 1,000.
"Between small nnd Inrgc matches I
participated in I won t07 ! straight.
"On my return to America I beat
Bogardus at pigeon and glass-ball
shooting. Our last match wus at bats
and 1 also beat him at that style of
shooting. The bats are thrown from
the hand , the handler standing twenty-
one yards from the pun. They arc all
wings , and unless you pepper them well
wAh shot you can can't ' kill the little
varmints. I have shot 100 birds in
seventy-ono minutes , loading my own
gun.
gun."At an exhibition shoot in Kansas
City last fall the 1st of October , I
believe it was I broke 500 glass balls
in fourteen minutes with n shot gun.
And nt Cedar Knpids , I broke 100 balls
in two minutes and ten seconds. Three
years ago , at Now Haven , Conn. , I shot
a six-day match ; 10,000 glass balls n
day. or at 00,000 bulls in the week. The
last thousand 1 broke in thirty-eight
minutes.
"I beat Bogardus on live birds twice ,
first at Louisville and afterward at Chi
cago. Bogardus shoots u 10-gauge , I al
ways use a I2-guugo.
"Well , I could keep enumerating
matches I've had since 1 left this city
that would fill your paper , but as it is
getting late you can just say that I in
tend to retire from public life after I
finish my business in Kentucky ; but before -
fore retiring I will meet any man in the
world in shooting at glass balls with n
rifle or a shotgun at live or artificial
birds , for any sum from $100 upward.
"I have heard considerable about
Clar cnden Robinson ns being n grand
pigeon shot. Now. I would like to go
Mr. Robirison n match under any terms
he may bo pleased to designate , or in
fact any man in the state. I will bo
only too happy to attend to any and all
challenges that will appear in the col
umns of the Cull.
"I have a farm of1,000 acres in south
ern Kansas. I am negotiating for its
sale because I think California is the
finest country on earth , and I intend to
settle down hero and make the Golden
West my future homo. When I left
Kansas City a few weeks ago it was
cold enough to freeze the old fellow
himself , and , as I remarked to my old
friend , Ed Shay , this evening , at the
Baldwin , pcoplo here think this weather
is cold. Why man , all they need to
expel any such thought is live minutes
for refreshments at Kansas City or any
of those eastern towns on the other side
of the mountains.
"I will bo here for the next three
months , and hope to have an acceptance
to my challenge from some California
wing shot. "
