JOTS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS , i
Justice Patton's ' .R-.signnton ! Still a Sub
ject of Public Discussion ,
WHO SHALL RECEIVE IT THE QUESTION.
Township Ofllecrs Hunt Up tlio Ija\v
on ttio Snlijjut He'll Have
to ItcMi-i ) Once
In connection with the resignation of Jus-
tlco Patton and the agitation of the subject
of a successor , the point Is raised by certain
attorneys that there Is in reality no vacancy
at all at present and therefore the township
trustees will bo relieved of the trouble of fill
ing one. It Is claimed that Patton was never
elected to the ofllco In the first place , on ac
count of the provisions of the law thut regu
lates the election of Justices. This law fixes
the number of Justices in any township at
two , but any township that includes in its
HinlU * an incorporated town or city may elect
not to exceed two others , provided the trus
tees post notices at thrco of the
most prominent place * In the towushlp.
The ground for the claim that Patton
was not elected is that the notices wcro not
posted according to law. by the trustees. If
this view of the case Is the correct one It fol-
ows that at the last election Hammer and
Jones were elected , but Patton was not , the
oto being as follows Hammer , 2,100 ; Cones ,
, UIS ; Patton , l.bTi.
.1. P. Lnt7 , clerk of the township , was
shed yesterday what the facts were as to
his matter of the posting of the tiotljes. He
aid that the notices were properly posted ,
no in front of the government building , an-
5thcr at the corner of Main and Hroacuvay.
md u third in the country. Ho bald that
lie legality of Patton's election was beyond
luestlun.
While the question was undecided it made
quite a ( lurry of excitement among the at-
orneys. Homo of them saw \ \ here there was
an opportunity of throwing a largo Job-lot of
cases out of court entirely , which had been
decided adversely to them by a Justice who
md never properv ! been the owner of his
itlc. Their Joy was short lived ,
lowi-vcr , for these who looked up
the matter to any great extent
discovered that the lust legislature had
passed a law to lit Just such cases. In a
lumber of townships throughout the state
.ho extra Justices have been elected without
going to the trouble of posting notices , c.\-
: ept for the first election after the increase
md been made in the tit inber. The law
which was n.isseil by the legislature pro
vided that all the acts of Jnsttces wholir.d
tiecii thus elected shoulu bo legal as though
the notices had been posted. This settles the
question of the legality of Patton's otllcml
acts , but does not decide whotlicr or not ho
was really a justice of the peace , This ques
tion , toge'thcr with the ono whether there is
n vacancy to be filled , will bo settled by the
trustees at some time in the future.
After Patlon had handed in his resigna
tion to the township trustees , it was found
that the statutes were n trlllo ambiguous on
the subject of whether the resignation should
go to the trustees or to the board of super
visors. There was no desire to have any
hitch in the proceedings on account of any
uncertainty , and so it was decided to request
Patton to nuiUo out another resignation for
the board. This was done , and yesterday
afternoon the second resignation was handed
in , and the thing was clinched.

PF.OIIH , ill. , Apill 15. Tub annual meet
ing of the whlstty trust , fcgnUy known as the
"distilling and cattle feeding company , " was
held In this city today. Somewhat contrary
to expectation the meeting did not altogether
ignore the reports of a plot by the trust's sec
retary , Gibson , to blow up the big anti-trust
Shufcldt distillery with dynamite. In the
nniiuni report of the president of the trust ,
as laid before the meeting , the concluding
paragraph has the following regarding the
peculiar circumstances now being Investi
gated by the federal grand Jury at Chicago :
"In conclusion I wish to say that inasmuch
ns the papers have been teeming with what
is commonly called the 'Gibson case , ' the
stockholders of this company would naturally
expect from tlio board some reference to the
matter. Gibson declares tons his innocence ,
and after an Investigation of the matter as
far ns lies 111 our power wo have no reason to
doubt his .statement nor to change our views
as expressed through the press heretofore ,
and further , that as long as wo tire connected
with the affairs of this company wo propose
that it shall bo run as straight ami upright UB
has characterized our business iroin the be
ginning ot the organl7atlon. "
Is'o action was taken on the subject by the
meeting. A full board of nine directors was
elected. Eight of the old directors wcro
chosen and ono now one , as follows : Joseph
B. Grccnput , Adolph Woollier , Warren H.
Conning , for three years ; William H. Hooart ,
Lewis H. Greene , Herbert L. Terrell , two
years ; Peter J. Hcnncssay , Nelson Mor
ris , Julius E. French , ono year. The
newly elected director , French , Is a promt- .
nent and wealthy business man of Clevo
laud , O.
The sales by the company for t ho past year
aggregated H.7l\171 : gallons , tin lncrcr.se of
nearly -1,1100,000 gallons over thu sales of the
preceding year and of nearly 9UOI00 ( ( gallons
over the sales of the twelve months ending
two years ago. Kegrmllng the tests with
the new Japanese method of distillation the
president's report says the preliminary Indi
cations are very favorable , and If confirmed
by later developments will revolutionise the
business with advantages to the trust which
are incalculable. The trust has exclusive
control of the patent and pays therefor noth
ing except oiio-IUlh of whatever saving is
made. The trust has In addition to the re
bate fund a surplus of $3 ,771 , after paying
dividends during the year amounting to
{ "l'JNi.V " ! ! nnct expenses of $ lt'iO,7ll. : The
trust's property Is absolutely unencumbered
and there is iio floating or other debt ' .vhat-

Alfred Freed , his wife and four children
went to the police station last evening about
sundown and requested lodging for the night.
Freed is on his way from Falrbury , Jeffer
son county , to Eldora , la. , and when ho
reached thU city his funds were entirely ex
hausted , and as" there was no other course
open to him he had to apply to the police for
temporary aid. The family have lived on a
claim near F.ilrburv for twelve yrars past.
He kept getting poorer every year until when
absolute starvation was staring his little
: mes in the face ho decided to give up his
Uomo nnd get back to friends. The family is
certainly deserving of help from any kindly
disposed persons.
