Squire Sehur ' method of dealing out Jus
tice in police com t is much relished by mem
bers of the police force. It very naturally
goes somewhat "against the grain" to arrest
parties day after dav nnd see them turned
loose by the court In the morning. A look nt
the police court register will show that this
is not now the case. Instead of-gettmg off as
lightly as possible , the delinquents nro
cinched to the full extent of the law. It Is n
noticeable fact that the number of vags is
constantly decreasing , notwithstanding that
the weather is getting colder. The squire's
heavy lines nnd the chief's gang of strcei
cleaners are together producing good results
Alderman Lacy , the Council Bluffs mem
ber of the committee on trades display in
connection with the formal opening of the
new bridge , is busy making arrangement"
for that event. Ho is visiting all of the bust
ness houses in the city , to induce thorn to
send out a creditable representation. If any
nro overlooked they should understand that
the oversight is unintentional , nnd should
notify the comiuitteo of their intention to

Still Another Bridge.
Mr. Lyman Banks , representing Colonel
. U. Stewart , the pontoon bridge builder , of
'hlladclphla ' , was in the city yesterday.
Colonel Stewart is the builder of the pontoon
bridge at Nebraska City , and Mr. Banks'
business hero was in relation to the erection
of a similar structure between this city and
Omaha. The cost of the bridge at Ncuruska
City was $18,000 and Mr. Banks stated that
one could bo built here for the same money.
The bridges nro built on boats ten feet wide
and twenty-four feet long , giving a roadway
sixteen feet wide besides ample passage ways
for foot passengers. Mr. Banks stated that
such a bridge could bo built and maintained
for llfteon or twenty years for less money
than is required to pay the interest for one
year on one of the expensive iron and steel
structures. The photographs of the bridge
at Nebraslui City show u rather odd looking
structure. The center of the bridge is in the
form of a V , with the point extending down
stream. This is necessary in order to make
it a draw bridge. The bridge extends
straight out into the water from each shore
for quite a distance , the shorter length being
upon the side nearest tlio current , and the
huge V connects the ends. To ouen
the bridge to allow the passage -
sago of a boat , all that Is neces
sary is to unhook the two
parts unitincr at the point of the V , and the
force of the current swings them apart ana
directly down stream , leaving an opening as
largo as the open part of the V. The two
swinging ends are connected by a chain
cable , which drops to the bottom , out of the
way of passing vessels. One end of the
chain is attached to a capstan , and when it is
desired to close the bridge , one man is able
to winu up the chain , thus drawing the ends
together again , where they are fastened.
The draw can bo opened and closed in twenty
minutes.
Mr. Banks will appear before the city
council next Tuesday evening to secure the
necessary permisson to operate a transfer
steamer until the bridge can bo built.
The Idea of n pontoon bridge between
Omaha and Council Bluffs will call forth
much diversity of opinion. It is claimed that
permission cannot bo obtained to locate such
a bridge at any point between the Union
Piicitlc bridge and the Broadway bridge. It
would bo of little use to locate it elsewhere.
Another claim is that the bridge would
not pay as the two bridges now
in will supply the needs fully. The predic
tion Is made that the putting in of such a
bridge would cause a war of rates that would
Knock the profits off of all bridge tolls.
Another intimation is that the scheme is
largely for the purposu of selling it to one of
the other bridge companies at a handsome
profit.
These and numerous other Ideas are ad
vanced by those who have heard of the now
bridge.
Citizens generally will hail with a hearty
welcome any and all bridges that can bo
built. There Is a feeling In favor of having
a bridge at every street , if capitalists want
to build them. "Tho more the merrier , " Is
the motto. Now that the two cities are be
ing so united as to really make one , all ob
jections to bridges seem largely to have dls
appeared.
Mrs. T. B. Louis will display a fine
line ot huts and bonnets at her opening
on Wednesday and Thursday ovuninga
of next week.

Cot-son , Bi.t-rrs , la. , Oct. 4. To the
Kdltorof Tun lire : In the mime of a gulled ,
long-suffering nnd patient public I beg to in
quire why the mayor of Council Bluffs , the
council or the police force do not take some
steps toward ridding this city of the gang of
burglars which Infest it nt present ! Hob-
berles of dwelling houses In broad daylight
are of daily occurrence , each night brings
Its quota of houses biokcn Into and pillaged
und each day that passes shows that the
scoundrels who nro at this work are growing
bolder. In ono Instance , only n day or two
ngo , the robber coolly walked Into the resl-
dcnco and began operations under the very
nosoof the domestic , ( but luckily soon found
ho had tackled the wrong domestic. ) If u
list of the houses robbed during the month
of September were published It would sur
prise and alarm the most easy-going citizen
of Council Bluffs. The worst feature of it
is the criminally catelcss altitude
maintained by our police force
towards the offences nnd offenders.
No help Is tendered the luckless ritlren
who complains nt headquarters , but on the
contrary the uniform reply is "Hush !
Don't tell this to a soul , for as sure us you
do the burglar will go to Omaha and sell the
goods there ! " The citizen goes homo and
obediently keeps still , the policeman resumes
his Interrupted perusal of the Globe nnd en
joys his cigar in peace , but thinks no more of
the burglar or citlrcn.
It is high time that something was being
done , nnd wo call on the suffering ciltaens of
Council Bluffs to inform the mayor and coun
cil , through thu press , that if tills evil is not
speedily remedied u thick , heavy snow will
fall at the next city election ; so heavy and
so deep Unit only those candidates who have
their fellow hoiibolioldcrt' Interests at heart ,
and have proved it by Jailing some of these
thugs , can hope to weather the storm
through. Av IximiXtNi CITI/HX.

Ills Client Not There.
In the district court yesterday the case
of Dr. Hurt vs Wise Payne , to enforce pay
ment for medical attendance , was the only
ono in the assignment for the day that wus
ready for trial. The defendant failed to put
in nn appearance , being in Monona county ,
but his counsel , W. A. Mynster , did not
know this , and resorted to all of the devices
known to legal practitioners to delay pro
ceedings until the arrival of hisclicnt. Jurors
were challenged without end , witnesses
were examined , and finally Mvnstcr began
his argument. He talked for fully two hours
In an endeavor lo kill time , all the while
mentally "cussing" his client for his non-
appearance. Court adjourned for dinner ,
and when it opened in the afternoon of course
the defendant was still absent. The attorney
was Just warming himself up for another
half day when some one whibpcreil In his ear
that Pavue would not arrive in the city for
several weeks. Mynster wilted. In less
than three minutes the mutter was fixed up ,
and a verdict of $ rl ) and costs was entered
against the defendant.
The court assigned nil of the cases in
which new trial notices have been served for
rial on Wednesday.

Fatal Prize
The news that George Fulljnines , the
well known pugilist , had died from the
effects of iv boating ho had received in
the ring at the hands of nn unknown in
Grand Forks , Dak. , on Saturday night ,
caused a good deal of talk in sporting
circles to-dny , says the Now York Sun ,
us Fulljumos was well known hero. Ho
was n very clever boxer , and ranked
among the best of the second class light
weights. His death rccalls _ several
other fatal fights , though it must bo said
that , considering the great number of
such affairs that have occurred , the per
centage of deaths resulting from them
is not n tenth of that caused by racing
or base ball accident ? .
Ono of the most noted of fatal ring
Qghts was the ono between Deaf Burke
and Simon Byrne , the Scotch champion.
This fight took place in England about
1838 , and wns a truly desperate ono.
Byrne j > orsovured in lighting long after
it wns seun that ho had no chance , and
ho refused to permit his seconds to give
in for him. Ho did not die in the ring ,
and had ho had prompt medi
cal assiiiUinc'o his life might
have , been saved.Burlo . lied

to this countvy , where ho
one O'Coiinell near New Orleans. He
was making mincemeat of O'Connoll ,
but the hitter's friends drove Uurko
from the rinfj at { ho point of a pistol
and his liphtinff drawers and his llesh
were frightfully torn by the thorny
ehaparral through which ho was com
pelled to fly to save his life. He re
turned to England , was tried for the
killing of Byrne , but in those days the
ring was in h'igh favor in Great Britain
and he escaped with a few months' im
prisonment. Burke afterward fought
the bold Bendigo and several others
and died in semi-destitution.
Early in the forties a prize fight took
place on the palisades up the Hudson
not far from this city , which stirred the
community to its depths. The contest
ants were an Englishman named Lilly
and a young New York mechanic of
Irish descent named McCoy. They
fought nearly one hundred rounds and
both , especially McCoy , were terribly
beaten. Long before the end of the battle -
tlo Yankee Sullivan , who was then
champion of America , calico on McCoy's
seconds to give in for him and told them
that if they did not he would be killed.
McCoy , who was as tramo as a pebble ,
protested , and they foolishly let him
iiavo his way. Ho was beaten
into in&ensibility and never re
covered consciousness , dying before
the boat reached this city. Lily lied to
the southwest , and was never captured
by the New York authorities. Ho
fought once more afterward in the ring
near Vicksburg , Miss. , defeating his
man. Ho joined Walker's Nicaraguan
invaders and was shot to death in the
hold of a schooner by troops of the
country who had captured the vessel.
Yankee Sullivan was arrested by "Old
Hayes , " nnd though ho was only a spectator
tater of the fight , and had tried to htop
it when it looked dangerous , he was
sentenced to htate prison for a term of
years. After ho had borved about six
months ho was pardoned out by Gov
ernor Sownrd on his express iirqiniso
that ho would never again participate
in a pri/o-light , either as a principal ,
second or spectator. How well ho kept
his word was bhown by his afterward
lighting Bob Caunt , Tom Hyor and
John Morrissoy. Ho died in jail in
San Francisco during the vigilante ex
citement. It was given out that ho
committed suicide by opening an artery
in his arm , but his friends believed that
ho was made away with on account of
his possessing dangerous knowledge of
political affairs of the city.
One of the most famous of fatal prize
tights was that between Walker and
Weedcn , which took place about ten
years ago near Philadelphia. It grow
out of the rivalry that then existed be
tween Arthur Chambers and Johnny
Clarke. They were the backers and
the seconds of the men , or rather of the
lads , for neither had reached man's es
tate. They fought between Gloucester
and Ponnfegrovev011 uo Jersey shore ,
about fifteen miletr1 below Philadelphia.
The back of Walker's head waw to ter
ribly injured by' its frequent contact
with the hard ground in the many falls
that Weedon gave him that concussion
of the brain resulted , and ho died on
the dock a few Jio'urs after the light.
Clarke , Woedou , and several others
wore sent to the penitentiary at Tren
ton for their work in this light. Wee
don died of consumption shortly after.
The last fatal fight before the one
under consideration took place near
Fort Hamilton about a year ago between
Swipes , the newsboy , and young Swee
ney. A coroner's jury investigated the
case and found that Sweeney had died ,
not from the beating ho had received ,
but from heart disease , and Swipes was
released from custody.
