NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS
MoAten Appears to Have the Lpnd in the
Treastirership Contest.
CLAIMS OF FRAUD ARE BEING MADE
florlinm'ft Attorney * Itufnso to Tnko Any
l' rt In the Second Recount of tlio
JlallotR .Judge McOeo Taking Kitrrt
Precaution with the Halloti.
For the first time the attorneys for J. A.
Gorlmm , republican candidate for city treas
urer In the last city election , c.ime out yes
terday , and , without beating around the
bush , declared that there had been u fraud
committed by some one on the other side.
As already mentioned In these columns ,
Gorham's attorneys objected to a second re
count of the ballots on the ground that they
had not been kept carefully since the first
recount and there was a strong probability ,
therefore , that the ballots had been tam
pered with , The judge decided yesterday
morning that this claim was not well
founded and commenced another recount ,
whereupon Oorharn and his attorneys gave
notice that they would not have anything to
do with what they termed such a high-handed
outrage , ' and left the court room. JiuUe
McGee and Attorney Shea , representing Me-
Alee , proceeded With the recount.
"After a ballot had been discovered which
had not been endorsed with the Initials of
one of the Judges , " said C. G. Saunders ,
one of Gorham's attorneys , yesterday , "Mr.
Shea nskcd that the ballots be gone over
with once more for the purpose of ascot-
tainlng If there were not other ? In the Fame
fix. The court granted his request , when ,
Instead of confining his attention to 'he
back of the ballots , he turned them over and
suddenly discovered other mistakes. In the
Second precinct of the Second ward a ballot
was found among those counted for Gorliam
which should /have been counted for Mc-
Atee , and a Gorlmm ballot was ul-so found
which had not been counted at all. This
made n net gain of one for McAtee. Then
in the First precinct of the Third ward u
ballot was found In which the names of Gir-
hnm nnd Klnnchan had both been checko'l.
It should have been thrown out , but It was
counted for Gorham. Hi-re , also , there was
a McAtee ballot found In Gorham's pile.
This made a total net gain of four for Alc-
Atce , which was enough to declare him
elected.
"It Is my firm belief that a fraud has
been committed In this case. It would have
been the easiest thing In the world for some
unprincipled fellow to change Mi3 ballots.
Two scratches of a pencil would do It , and
there was very little care taken to irevent
It from being done while the count \\as
actually In progress. There Is not the slight
est possibility that there was a mistake in
the first recount , particularly In the Fl-st
precinct of the Third , for In that precinct we
made a gnln of ono vote over the oflloUl
count , and Shea would be most llk ly to
make a thorough search for mistakes. As
ho did not find It , the natural conchM'on Is
that It was not there. In every precinct
where there was any deviation from the
official returns ho went over the count from
two to flve times In order to Insure against
mistakes. If McAtee takes the office now
ho will simply be profiting by the fraud of
some one. "
Precautions that were entirely wanting
during the first recount were taken yestar-
ilay , to see that none but those who had
the right should have a chance to get hold
of the ballots. Around the table , at a dis
tance of eight feet. Judge McGee drew a
magic line and Instructed Bailiff Baldy to
chaseup hill and down dale all who dared
to step but one foot across It. The judge
himself counted the ballots , and no one was
allowed at the table excepting the court re
porter , the judge , Attorney Shea and the
bailiff.

The annual contest between the dog
catchers and the owners of canine pets com
menced yesterday morning , and the pros
pects are good for the usual amount of pullIng -
Ing and hauling on both sides. During the
day more than fifty owners of dogs railed
nt the city clerk's office and dropped their
coins Into the slot , receiving In return the
bits of brass that entitled their pets to
life , liberty and the pursuit of happiness for
another year , This makes about 150 In all
who liavo paid their taxes. One of the dog
catchers attempted to carry off Constable
Baker's dog during the morning , so Bukcr
claims , after his tax had been paid. Baker
promptly swore out an Information charg
ing with larceny , and he la how In the
county jail.
G. W. Headloy , who lives at 105 Broadway ,
filed an Information In Justice Field's court
charging Fred Bates nnd Herman James ,
two other members of the nntl-canlno brig
ade , with larceny. They will have a hearing
this afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Dan Cairigg's big Newfoundland dog was
landed In the carryall amid the frantic pro
tests of Its owifer , and will have to bo re
deemed In the usual way. The dog catchers
prefer blooded dogs to any other kind , for
they are more likely to bo redeemed.

Committee * Sllll l > lctiMlngthc t'neinploycd
Situation.
Another meeting took place nt the council
chamber last evening between the council
nnd the citizens' committee which Is trying
to get employment for the laboring men.
But little was accomplished beyond deciding
to take more time for consideration before
doing anything. The matter of paving Hast
Pierce street came up to be talked about ,
and the committee said It had been unable
to get the consent of the property owners
to the plan. Some of them thought , how
ever , that It was a matter of such public
necessity that the council should take the
matter Into their own hands nnd order the
street paved , Just as they did years ago ,
when Oakland avenue was paved against the
will of the property owners In order to
furnish easy access to Falrvlew cemetery.
The question of paving Oakland avenue
was also discussed , but to this plan J. C. De
Haven of the committee objected. He did
not want the street paved until the sewer
had been down a year at least. In order that
the period for settling might be over. He
afterward admitted that he did not care
about the sewer being put down at all.
After the committee had left the council
resolved Itself Into a board of equalization
and continued Its labors. The personal as
sessments of the various wholesale liquor
dealers were touched with an unsparing
hand , nearly etfery one of them being raised
anywhere from $500 to $2,000. The banks
were assessed as follows : State Savings
bank , $15,300 ; Cattlemen's , $2,000 ; Officer &
Pusey , $30,000 ; Council Bluffs Savings , $30-
400 ; Citizens. $4GfiOO ; First National , $27,400.
The board struck out on a new tack In
assessing F. T. True of the city treasurer's
office In the sum of $3,000 for the city war
rants he has In his posseslon. For a num
ber of years past True has been engaged In
buying up the warrants at a generous profit ,
but hitherto he has been allowed to go un-
taxed.

Fort-en to thn Clty'n Outskirts.
General Kelsey of Omaha and General
Duff of Lincoln arrived In the city yesterday
afternoon at 5 o'clock at the head of 150 In
dustrials on their way to Washington. At
the motor bridge they were met by Chief
Scanlan , who rode nt the head of the col
umn and escorted the army out Broadway ,
North First street and Graham avenue to a
beautiful glen just east of Falrmount park.
Kelsey Informed a Bee reporter that ho ex
pected to break camp as early as possible
this morning and start for Glenwood. "We
expect to follow the line of the Burlington
road as nearly as possible , but we don't ex
pect to try to capture .any trains. If we
can't get the farmers living along the road
to give us teams we'll walk. If these other
armies had put In their time walking Instead
of hunting about for trains they would be a
good many hundred miles further on their
way than they are. It doesn't pay to waste
time that way. We have provisions enough
to last us a day and a half yet , and don't
want any more just now. "
Held Up a Mall Train.
Four tough looking citizens , two of them
black nnd the other two wlilte , undertook to
hold up the fast mall on the Burlington
road yesterday about noon. They stationed
themselves at the crossing of the Burlington
and Wabash roads and pulled three guns
on the train crew when the train stopped.
The crew were not Intimidated , but at once
started off and left the quartet behind. Dur
ing the afternoon the two' white men were
caught at the Milwaukee oil house , but they
had gotten rid of their revolvers. The col
ored men' were seen and talked to by the
officers , but before It was known that they
were the parties wanted they boarded n
freight train nnd left for me east.

cided the famous Joint rate case , alllrmlng
the Shelby district court In sus
taining the claims of the railway
company and knocking out the rail
way commission , which claimed that "the
celebrated joint rnte schedule was an amend
ment of the original schedule of 1S88. The
court holds that the district court was
right In ruling the Joint rate an Independ
ent schedule , and the commissioners were
required by law to give ten days' notice
to make the rate operative , which they did
not do , believing It to be an amendment ,
which requires no notice , and the court
holds that the rate Is not valid on that ac
count. Judge Deemer took no part.

nilOOKKIKM ) , Mo. , May H. Reports
today from Drowning say that William and
George Taylor , the murderers of George
Mccks and family , took breakfast this morn
ing with n farmer near Wliinegan , In Sulli
van county. The officers arc positive that
the murderers arc still In the Wlnnegan
neighborhood , whom they have relatives
and friends who arc assisting them to elmlo
arrest. Sheriff Barton has offered a reward
of $200 for each of the Taylors taken , deader
or alive , and Governor Stone hits been
nsl.ud to offer a reward by the state. The
capture of the fugitives Is said to bo certain
within a short time.
Word was received here from Drowning
al 10 o'clock saying four men tracked Wil
liam and George Taylor , the murderers of
the Mcoks family , several miles to the
house Of Jim Taylor , their father , three
and a half miles southeast of Browning ,
this afternoon. Jim Taylor refused them
untranco to the house and \surne.l them
to not come around the house tonight. Thin
word was brought to Drowning by P rry
McCollum , n reputable farmer. McColltim
measured the tracks and they rorrevpomled
exactly to the Taylors' feet. Sheriff llarton
of Lynn county and Sheriff White of Mncon
county , with largo posses liavo evidently
been misled and are all searching the
Charlton hills , In the southwest corner of
Adalr county , \\hlch Is fully thirty mles !
from Jim Taylor's farm. Most of the avail
able men from here and the surrounding
towns are already out , but u small party
will leave Laclcdo In a short time to meet
a party from Browning and they expect to
meet near Jim Taylor's and have the house
surrounded by daylight. Bill Taylor re
turned to Browning this afternoon from Jim
Taylor's and was accompanied by u ) ounicr
brother of the Taylor brothers. After get
ting n few things from Bill Taylor's house
he started to return home , but wai arrested
and locked up. It now seems Impossible for
the murderers to escape.
CAUSED BY GASOLINE.
An KxiilcMUin that Nunrl ; Coil u Voting
. Man 111 * I.lfc.
At G o'clock last night lire did about $100
damage to the residence of .Mr. W. II.
Hyaclne , 2101 Miami street.
The cause of It was another gasoline
stove explosion. Supper was being prepared -
pared on the gasoline stove , and a second
burner was about to be lighted when the
whole thing blazed up. This was followed
by a shock , which was caused by the llamo
reaching the tank , and the force of the ex
plosion overturned the stove , Igniting the
carpet.
A sou of Mr. Hyaclne , who was In the
yard , heard the oxploslon and ran to the
house. Ho saw that unless the stove \uts
removed , the chances were good for the
house to burn up. He picked up the Move
and ran Into the yard with It. Some oil
from the tank dripped on his hands and a
slight wind blew the llamc toward him , and
both hands wcro horribly burned.
Gasoline Move explosions have been the
cause recently of quite a number of fires ,
and In sonic Instances persons liavo had
narrow escapes from burning. One case
of this was about three weeks iigo , when n
gasoline stove exploded In the residence of
Ir. ) Neville , 2902 Dodge street. In this In
stance the life of the hired girl was only
saved by the prompt action of Mr. Arthur
Partridge , who went to her assistance. ? he
was enveloped In a sheet of Unities when
ho reached her , but they were extinguished
before sha received very serious -Injury.
Another was out near the Deaf and Dumb
Institute about six weeks ago. This one
proved fatal , the occupant of the house ,
Mrs. Slosely , whose husband Is a professor
at the Institute , receiving burns from
which she died.
The most recent was Sunday morning.
A gasoline ntcve explode ; ! In the residence
of Officer Hoff , 1708 Jackfcon , and Mrs. Hoff
had a narrow escape. The force , of the ex
plosion nearly tore the north end of the
house away , and aroused people living In
adjoining houses.

Justice Ilarlan Has Sninrthlng to Say on
the Alattcr of Hall.
WASHINGTON , May 14. The appeal of
John Y. McKane to the United States
supreme court was decided against McKane
today , Justice Ilarlan delivering the opinion.
McKane In his appeal contends that ho
should have boon allowed to go on ball
pending the appeal , as the constitution meant
to confer that right In all but capital cases.
The Justice held that the matter of ball
In such a case was entirely within the Juris
diction of tuo state court. Also that the
warden of. Sing Sing prison had no right to
return McKane to the sheriff of New York
pending the appeal , as the appeal had no
effect upon his imprisonment in SJng Sing
prison.
McKane Is overruled at every point , with
out a dissenting opinion from any of the
Justices.

Its value can only be suggested

Language shapes itself readily
