NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS
Numerous Tramps Oauslng the Inhabitants

POLICE REPEATEDLY APPEALED TO FOR AID
Other Ton-mi In tlio Wmtcrn I'nrt of town
Suffering from tlio Same Cnine forty

strcl Show.
People living In the northern part of the
city are complaining on account of the large
number of tramps that Infest their neighbor
hood. The whole city Is alive with them
now , large numbers being ordered out o
town every day by the police. The North
western yards and round house have been n
favorite camping ground for them , As soon
as they arc ordered out of the yards they
strike off In a northerly direction , and for
the past two or three days they have been
camping around Big Lake. The people who
live there profess to bo afraid to stir out ol
their homes day or night and have imploret
the police for more protection.
Other towns In this vicinity seem to be
suffering in like manner. Sheriff Campbcl
of Mills county sent word to the police thai
on Thursday several stores In Glonwood were
broken Into by professional burglars and
about $1,000 worth of silks , boots , shoes and
the like wore taken. The same night a
store nt Henderson In the same county was
entered and about $250 worth of property
taken. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

The "Ebony Warblers , " heretofore known
ns St. Paul's guild , gave a minstrel per
formance at Dohany's opera house last Fri
day evening. The novel spectacle of forty
society beauties , who had temporarily for
saken the rouge box for the stove polish ,
was tremendously Interesting to the public ,
and when the curtain rose the forty darkles
on the stage and something like 1,000 spec
tators In the parquet and balcony , viewed
each other with mutual Interest. Miss May
Davenport ocupled her share of the center
of the stage and took the part of the Inter
locutor , showing all the Ignorance -nnd
curiosity which an Interlocutor must have
In order to give the end women a chance to
perpetrate their jokes.
McMlamcs Cummlngs and Mullls manipu
lated 'the bones , and Mrs. Bovver and Miss
Grace Doming thrummed the tambourines. To
these four Is duo the credit for the success
of a largo portion of the entertainment , for
they had spent many sleepless nights In col
lecting a store of witticisms whoso whiskers
should not bo gray , and their labors had
been crowned with success. While a chest
nut could now and then be heard drop on
the platform , for the most part their "gags"
were new and good. The hits which they
gave almost every one of any local prom
inence were highly enjoyed by every one ,
with the possible exception of three or four
society youths , who had rented a box and
como armed with a telescope , n greased pig
and other things , which were calculated to
disturb the serenity of the brunettes before
them. To them It was a most funereal
affair , and one of the best parts of the enter
tainment was the mortification which hung
about that box In great chunks.
Two of the other boxes contained a partv
of eight > oung men , who had made special
preparations to bo there. They wore full
dress suits , scarlet neckties , and plate glass
diamonds that might have been used for
paper weights during business hours. The
complexions and general bearing of these
young men Indicated that they might bo
the proprietors of prosperous crap Joints or
that they might have made their millions
as porters on board a Pullman sleeper. But
It It was a mistake. They were Hon.
Thomas Bowman , T. E. Casady , E. A. Trout-
man , F. T. Seybert , E. A. Wlckham , Perry
Badollet , F. II. Evans and L. Zurmuehlln ,
Jr. Their entrance threw a shadow over the
audience , and many thought It would rain.
But It merely thundered.
The young ladles devoted considerable at
tention to the occupants of the boxes , and
the bcnuel showed that the young men who
hod had the forethought to blacken their
faces had decidedly the best of It. for. as
Is well known , a darky never blushes. The
following was the piogram presented by the
young ladles :

AVlll lime Now Oti.irlori.
C. A. Atkins , manager for the Nebraska
Telephone company , has the promise of new
quarters and a brand new multiple switch
board. The latter Is now being-constructed
In Chicago by the Western Electric com
pany. C. E. Yost , president of the Ne
braska Telephone company , has decided that
Council Bluffs Is deserving of bettor tele
phone service. In order to furnish this It
will be necessary to have larger and better
quarters. The Baldwin block has been se
lected , and work will begin at once getting
the rooms on the fifth floor ready for the
now switchboard , which will probably bo
delivered by May 15. It will be first-class ,
finished In mahogany nnd will have the very
latest Improvements. There will necessar
ily be many such In the way of new
cables and poles. When all complete Mr.
Yost says the Improvements will cost about
$10,000. Mr. Atkins says he believes that
with the new office and system he will have
500 subscribers before May 1 , 1895.
One thing about the now system which
will meet with the hearty approval of all
who use the telephone is that "Central" will
do all the ringing after the subscriber gives
the first short ring. Any ring after the first
will be taken as a signal from the subscriber
for disconnection , and he will bo discon
nected whether he wants to or not. He will
have no trouble , however. In calling up cen
tral again and getting another connection.
Under the present system a great deal of
Inconvenience has been caused the public by
the Inability of the girls at the central of
fice to tell whether the subscriber was ring
ing for central or for the man at the other
end of the line , and it must be confessed
that they usually appeared to give them
selves the benefit of the doubt. Now all
rings are Intended for central , and there will
consequently be no reason for the delay that
has heretofore been such a drawback to the
constant use of the telephone.
Settle Don n.
Now 'hat Kelly's army has come and gone
and none much the worse off for their
visit , let us settle down to business once
more and profit by the great lesson they
have taught us. There is no doubt that a
great deal of poverty nowadays Is brought
on by extravagance , and oh , there's the
moral : Don't be extravagant , but go to 919
Main street and T. B. Hughes will show-
you how to save your money , whether It's
shoes , furnishing goods or hats you want.
I'uriiHfo Work.
Mr. W J. Lauterwasser , well known to bo
one of the best furnace men In this section ,
has engaged with P. C. DeVol. He and John
Scott will work together , and It goes with
out saying that whatever they do will be
perfectly done. Now Is a good time to look
up the furnace question.

COUNCIL BLUFFS , la. , April 27. To the
Editor of The Bee : Your headlines to the
dispatch from Atlantic April 26 , "Woodmen
Advance Agent Weakens Graham of Coun
cil Bluffs Says Kelly , Baker and Spead Arc
Sharpers , " do mo and also the Woodmen
of the World an Injustice. I said nothing of
the kind. I did say , "They were bharp ,
shrewd men , " In fact , the entire dispatch
In regard to what Is attributed to me Is
distorted wl'h the Intention of putting a
different meaning to what I really did say.
The reason why I came homo was because
my business demanded It and not because
I was becoming "disgusted. " I have only
very little more to bay In recard to this
matter , and that Is that If the Rock Island
roud wishes to retain the friendship of the
business men and shippers throughout tills
section .of the country It had better call
General Superintendent Dunlap In and let
some one else attend to the business of the
road , for If one-tenth of what I have heard
Is true his only object Is to Incite Kelly's
men to do some unlawful act that there
may bo an excuse to arrest and Imurlson
or to call upon the mllltla of the state , pri
marily to protect their property , but In real
ity to create a riot. Now. only ono thing
more. Why does General Superintendent
Dunlap travel with an armed body of men
from station to station without having them
icgularly commissioned and sworn as peace
officers ? V < > ry respectfully yours ,
R. 0. GRAHAM.
Death Is an unb'dden visitor. Will ho call
tomorrow , next week , next month , or next
year ? ask yourself. If so , have I made
such provision for those depending on mo as
I ought ? The Bankers Llfo association of

by the officials ot-tno Chicago , Milwaukee &

track senseless. The side of his head was
terribly mangled 4nu covered with blood , and
ho presented a ghngtly appearance. It was
thought at first tBat lie was dead , but an ex
amination showed''tlmt the pulse was still
beating. The body was picked up nnd car
ried In the patrol wacon to the Woman's
Christian association hospital , and , three
hours after being put In one of the beds
there , ho was Just beginning to move his
limbs , but was still unconscious. Ills phy
sicians stated that his chances for recovery
were very slender. Nothing was found on
his perron by wRTeTi he could be positively
Identified , although it Is thought that his
name Is Raph , nnd that he lives on the
farm of George F. Wright , east of the city.
Up to a late hour last evening all at
tempts to Identify the unfortunate man pos
itively had failed , but It Is thought that
something will be found out about him
today. He had not recovered consciousness ,
and so was unable to furnish nny Information
himself as to cither his Identity or the
cause of his Injuries. Ills physician stated
last evening that ho did not consider his in
juries dangerous , although It might take
him a long time to get well.

Smith , Illakcly , Hook , or whatever name ho
may be going by now. It will be remem

REPRESENTATIVE NOTIONS.
Magulre , California They should bo
treated with humanity and respect. It should
not bo assumed that they are coming for un
lawful purposes. Their financial condition
should not be counted against them , and they
should have that respectful consideration
that American cltlzbns are entitled to who
pet tlon for law a they think will Improve
their condition.
McCall , Massachusetts The Coxey army
ought to be given a pleasant reception.
Coombs , New- York I do not bt > lleve that
Co\ey will attempt , to violate the law. His
scheme Is visionary enough to the Intelligent
masses , but I have never thought ho would
attempt to commit any violence.
Dartholdt , Missouri They are misguided
but earnest men. They should bo treated
kindly and furnished shelter , but congress
can do nothing for them
, and cannot bo ex

Cannon , Illinois I think congress should

MISSOURI VALLEY , la. , April 28. ( Spe
cial Telegram to The Bee. ) As the result of
a battle with burglars In this city this mornIng -
Ing one man was Instantly killed , another
was fatally hurt and n third received n flesh
wound. The dead and Injured are : .
AIWA WHITNEY , city marshal , dead.
PETER JOHNSON , fatally wounded.
J. B. LYON , shot In the side.
The tragedy was the most terrible ever oc
curring In this vicinity. In the last few-
weeks many petty burglaries have been com
mitted here , the latest being that of J. B.
Lyon's grocery store Wednesday evening.
William Henderson was shortly placed under
watch nt his residence , where two strangers ,
named Johnson and Davis , have been stay-
Ing. Certain biisplclous appearances led to
the swearing out of a search warrant by Mr.
Lyon to find the stolen property.
The warrant was placed In Marshal Whit
ney's hands. After keeping the building
guarded during the night , he with a posse
entered the Hem'crson house at G o'clock this
morning. The occupants offered resistance
nnd opened fire , which was returned by the
olllcers , there being thirty or more shots
fired. One of the burglars' bullets pierced
the breast of Whitney , killing him Instantly ,
Johnson received four bullets , one In each
thigh , one In the shoulder and another
through the lungs. Ills wounds are doubt
less fatal , although ho still lives.
Davis broke and ran and a dispatch from
Love-land says that a man partially an
swering his description boarded the train
nt that point this morning. This vicinity
Is nevertheless being thoroughly scoured.
Henderson and his wife are under arrest
having waived examination , and have been
sent to the county Jail at Logan.
Excitement Is at fever heat and there Is
much strong talk of lynching , as Whitney
was a popular and most efficient officer. A
reward has been raised for the capture of
Davis.
Davis Is supposed to have come from
Grand Island or Fremont , Neb. , and John
son's homo is supposed to be Rock Island ,
III. Both are desperate characters , while
Henderson Is on ex-svvltchman and does not
bear a savory reputation , having been Idle
for six months and more.
The plunder stolen from Lyon's store was
found concealed In and about the Henderson
residence , so that no doubt exists that the
searching party were on the right track.
Being armed with the search warrant , the
officers of course hod a right to enter the
house , and the reslstenco offered by the
men when they knew this fact shows their
desperate character.
Whitney was about 35 years old and un
married , living with his mother and sister ,
who are prostrated with grief. The entire
community Is wrought up , and If opportunity
offered would no doubt do violence to the
perpetrators of the violent act.
Lynching has been talked strong this after
noon notwithstanding the removal of Hender
son to the county Jail at Logan , but It Is
likely that calm counsels will prevail. Whit
ney's popularity as an officer extended
through all classes of citizens except the
extreme tough clement.
A report came In from a searching party
at 3 o'clock p. in. that several farmers north
of town about six miles have seen an armed
man corresponding somewhat to Davis' de
scription , and that he had drawn nnd threat
ened to use his gun If not permitted to pass.
The farmers are aroused and out on his
trail. A large reinforcement left here
within half an hour , and will search till
dark. There is a fence north of hero ten or
twelve miles to which this man Is doubtless
heading.
A coroners' Jury was empanelled this
morning and heard the testimony of several
eye-witnesses to the affray , but reached no
conclusion , and adjourned until Monday
afternoon In anticipation of effecting the
capture of Davis. A largo reward has been
subscribed by the citizens , In fact , If money
can effect the capture of Davis it will bo
forthcoming by the citizens here.
