Dick Uoberts , who has been helping the county Jail prisoners to Dr. Plnney's wine for a number of days past , called nt The Bee ofllco yesterday morning and asked that r. correction of the story published In The Dee yesterday bo made , Ho iiald that the liquor had not been stolen from the doctor at all , but was his own prlv.no property , to do with as ho saw fit , although ho admitted that ho had stepped over the bounds of decorum a trllle In giving cuunty prisoners wine. On leaving The Dee office ho went to Iho ofllco of Dr. Plnnoy , where he found Sheriff Hazen in consultation with the doctor. "I've Just been to The Boo ornco , " said he. "and they promised to correct that article that said I stole the doctor's wine. For I didn't It was my own ; It didn't como from the cellar nt all. " "Well , I didn't know before whether 1 ought to have you arrested or not , " ejacu lated the sheriff , as ho seized his hat , "but this settles It ; If you're going to try to lie out of It , wo may as well sift the thing to the bottom. I'll go and Hie an Informa tion now. " Ho got as far as the door when Roberts found breath enough to call out : "Hold on , sheriff , hold on. I'll confess every thing. I stole the wlno from Dr. I'lmiey'a cellar , " At this stage of the game a correction hardly seems necessary.

A Unlit took place Sunday forenoon In Sil ver Creek township , Inhlcli I ) . M. McKIn- zlo anil his son , I ) . M. McKlnzIc , jr. , were on one side , ami llnrry Larlson. and John tllshop were on the other. All four arc well known both In and out of the township where they reside , and the McKlnzlcs are well-to-do farmers. There has been a grudge between them and Larlson for some time past , and they claim LarUou has threatened to do them up repeatedly. Sunday afternoon they were riding along the road on horse- hack when they saw Larleon and Bishop standing In front of their gate walling for them to come up. Just before they drove up one of their frlcmlu heard Larjson tell Bishop that this was his chance , and he would "do" botli of them. Young McKlnzle thereupon picked up a generous sized stick and prepared to defend hlmxelf. In passing BIsliop'K house , which r.tands close to the scene of the encounter , McICInzle saw Mrs. Bishop run down to the road and hand Illshop a revolver. Ho con sequently placed himself behind his horse as a screen. The elder McKlnzle had not taken part In the dllllcnlty up to this point , but Larlson suddenly turned and II red In hl di rection , but failed to hit. At this young McKlnzle left his horse to take caic at him self and Jumped at Larlson. A rough and tumble fight between the two occurred , In which hnrlson was finally vanquished and compelled to give up the revolver , but Mc- Klnzlo shows several scratches as the result of the encounter. In the meantime Bishop had also mixed himself nil In the light and had struck the elder McKlnzle over the head with a board several times , breaking the tmrd and almost breaking the head as well. Yesterday the two McKlnzlcs visited Council Bluffs and filed an Information against Bishop and Lar lson , charging them with assault with Intent to kill , and the pair will , no doubt , be ar rested today. _ roi : IIITTIK : MAIL snitvici : . Agltiitlou Now ( tiling nil' Aiming Council IllulTrt luminous -Men. An agitation has been commenced among the business men of Council Bluffs with a view to secure better mall facilities from Council muffs to Chicago. Under the recent schedule thu llrst mall eastward leaves Coun cil Bin ft' 3 about 8:30 : In the morning , but makes FO poor tlmo that It reaches Chicago at the same time as the mall that leaves at 1:30 : In the afternoon. As a consequence , the business men of Council Bluffs and Omaha are unable to get word to the Chicago firms with which they do business with anything like the promptness which the size and im portance of the two places Justify. Congressman linger of this district has been requested to secure the passage of a law by congress Instructing the postmaster general to make a contract with some road , preferably the Hock Island , for a fast mall service leaving Council Bluffs for the cast about 9 o'clock in the morning. Ho has signified his willingness to do all In his power. An effort Is being made to enlist the people of Omaha In the movement , for they would be fully as much benefited by the change as those of this city. As the trains are now run all favors the railroads have to grant are bestowed upon Chicago. The Chicago papers reach Council Bluffs about the same tlmo as the Council Bluffs and Omaha papers are reaching Des Moines. With a mall and passenger fervlco In the early morning It would be possible for the people of Council Bluffs to go to Des Moines , spend four hours , and return the same day , without staying over night , as Is now ncossary. _ TIIKV iv 1 1. 1 , siir : , ON SUNDAY. Saloon Keepers Do Not All Keopcct the Jliiyor's Orilois. The order of the mayor. Issued about a month ago , forbidding saloons from running on Sunday has been more or less strictly enforced , and yet some of the saloonlsts have found It possible to quench the thirst of their patrons at so much per quench In splto of the order. All the saloons that have been opened on Sunday , however , have been run very slyly , for It was well un derstood that the order of the mayor was not meant to be for purely ornamental pur poses. Yesterday something over half a dozen saloon keepers stood up In police court to answer to the charge of keeping open 'saloons on Sunday In violation of law. None of them have had their hearing yet , but will probably have one this morning. The names of the saloon keepers under arrest are as follows : Hermann Bros. , corner Broadway and Bryant street ; Gus Bergman , 118 Broadway ; Jacob Neumayer , 208 Broad way ; Jack T. Lcutz , Eighth avenue and Twentieth street ; Koch & Conley , Eighth avenue and Twenty-first street. Thin I Wlmt Wo Are I ) < iliij.

M. > jf\v , iiTO > ' I IAO : PITTS , AVmiU the .School Ilimril to .Make Up to Him Wlmt Ho Lint. The regular meeting of the school board took place last evening with President F.old and Member ! Moore , Fonda , Brldcnsteln , Snyder and Thomas present. Ux-Siipcrlntcmlent McNaughton stated to the board that when he left the city ho left a show case containing a number of valuable stuffed birds In one of the rooms In the Washington avenue school building for safe keeping. Recently ho had looked tor the case and was unable to find It. One of the ex-members of the board , Mr. John Schoent- gen , had looked over the High school mu seum wh lo on the board and fjpund that It contained more bird ) than the district was entitled to. He would like the board to give him an equivalent of the birds he had lost , and reimburse him for the missing CIRC. Mr , Thomas did not think the board could be held responsible for the birds. The matter was referred to a spcc.nl committee consisting of Messrs. Snyder and Fonda. Dr. Snyder recommended that a building bo rented for the Cut-Off Island school at $22 per month. Superintendent Sawyer thought It might be better to divide the school so as to suit the people living In the north end of the Island. On Fonda's motion the secretary was Instructed to ascertain as POOH as possible the number of pupils and report at a called meeting , so that the board might bo In a position to dccldo what was best to be done. Dr. Sawyer reported that the Second avenue building Is sinking and cracking all over on account of the weakness of the foundations. Chairman Brldcnsteln of the committee on teachers reported that three of the teachers engaged at the preceding meeting. Misses Viva OMIIlaml. Koto Shepler and Frances Dalley , had tendered their resigna tions. He recommended that Misses Anna Stevens , Nellie Jacobs , Slna Groom and Kato Heed bo engaged to fill the four vacancies now existing. Dr. Snyder pro tested against the engagement of the last named of the young ladles on the ground that the p'acc should bo given to n Council Bluffs girl. A little spat between Snyder and Brldcnsteln was quickly choked off. The superintendent reported that It was very dllllcult to get teachers to take up the work of the grades In which the vacancy had occurred. The report was adopted , Snyder alone voting no , Chairman Thomas of the financa commit tee recommended that bonds In tha sum of $10,000 , drawing G per cent Interest , bo is sued to ral e money with which to redeem the $10.000 worth of 7 per cent bonds Is sued October 15 , 1893. The recommedaton : was concurred In , and the secretary was instructed to notify the bondholders of the proposed redemption. The salary of the Janitor of the High school was put on a par with that of the Bloomer school , and all others were fixed at the same figure as last year. Superintendent Sawyer called attention to the fact that If the board cared to use the pictures of the Madison avenue , Harrison street , Avenue B and Thirty-second street buildings In the forthcoming annual report cuts should he secured at once. The matter was referred to the committee on buildings and grounds with power to act. The superintendent stated that at the next meeting he should ask the hoard to pass a resolution allowing those pupils of the High school who would not graduate until January on account of failure to pass examinations , to take their places on the platform and take part In the regular graduating exercises In June , without re maining In school until the end of the year. The superintendent reported that $31.15 had been paid to the treasurer as a surplus from the commencement exercises. Ho recommended that this amount , together with the surplus from former years , all amountIng - Ing to $ SO.CO , bo put Into the contingent fund. _ IIOSS WOHKii : > AVITII CHECKS. Ho Is Alxo Accused of Having Forced n HuslnoHf MIIII'H Check. A. P. Ho s. who formerly kept a hotel In Lewis , la. , Is wanted badly to answer to the charge of forgery In this city. He.spent a few days In this city , claiming to ren.re- sent the firm of Wiley , Brown & Co. of Chicago. While hero ho apparently became short of funds and presented a check to Conrad Gelse & Son In payment of a bill of $25 , which he ran while In the hotel busi ness. The check was for-$15 , and when the dlfCcrcnco was called to his attention he explained It by saying that he had lost some cash In a poker game and would like them to cash the check , giving him the balance. Ho then visited Metcalf Bros. ' store and bought $20 worth of goods , tendering a check for $20 , s'gned by himself , In payment. This was refused , and ho mentioned the fact that ho know Fremont Benjamin , and asked if his endorsement would go. The storekeeper replied that It would , and Ross left the store , returning a few minutes later with Benjamin's endorsement on the check. This turns out to have been a forgery. It is laso reported that Hess passed a check In Chicago bearing the forged signa ture of Conrad Gelse & Co. He was last seen here on Saturday. Sheriff Hazen lias sent out cards offering $25 reward for his apprehension. Real estate Is cheap In Council Bluffs. Wo can sell you a homo , a vacant lot , a fruit or garden farm cheaper than over.
