NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS
Exciting Experience of a Young Man Who
Had Peon to Sec Rh Girl ,
NEW FLEDGID POLICEMAN AND HIS GUN
OHIerr Culled on tlio Young Mnn to Throw
U | > Illii llumln nnd Thru Opened I'lru
on tlio frightened rugltltr , Who
Took Itcftigo In n Hotel ,
John Carll , a young man living at 330 High
School avenue , was on his wuy
homo from a rail on a young
lady friend yesterday morning nt
2 o'clock when he ran across Officer Autrey ,
n new member of the police force , who had
a gun and proposed to use It. Autrey saw
Carll ns he was passing an alley near the
Congregational church , nnd , taking him for
a burglar , called out for htm to hold up his
hands. Carll , who Is rather timid anyway ,
thought the officer was a midnight ma
rauder who wanted to get possession of his
valuables , nnd the way he trotted up street
would have robbed Allx of all the laurels she
has ever had or ever expects to , carry off.
When Autrey saw that his admonition
was unheeded he pulled out his six-shooter
and put It to work. Six reports rung out
on the air. Carll heard one of the hullctK
whiz past his head , but he paid no attention
to It , and only ran the faster , until he was
safe and sound In the Kcll hotel. Rushing
up to Henry Spetman's room , very much
out of breath and decidedly pale , ho asked
that he might lime a room for the night.
He gave the particulars of the attack that
had Ijccn made upon him.
The shooting had continued all the way up
Seventh avenue , and one of the bullets struck
a telephone pole In front of the Kcll. Sev
eral of the inmates of the hotel had heard
the firing and stuck their heads out of the
windows to sec what It all meant. When the
bullet hit the pole they suddenly lost all
Interest In the matter and pulled their heads
precipitately back Into their respective
rooms.
A few minutes after Cat 11 reached the
hotel Officers Autrey and Cousins also came
up , and the whole business was explained.
Autrey and Carll found that neither one was
a highwayman , nnd each was accordingly
relieved. Cousins dismissed Carll with a
suggestion thai hereafter he call on his grl |
a little oftcner and not stay quite so late ,
and when Carll finally started for home It
was with a smile on his face and both feet
In the middle of the street , overjoyed at the
generosity of the peeler who so kindly con
sented that he might live.

Benjamin M. Banks , as he now styles him
self , although he registered as J. M. Banks
when brought In by Officer Wolff Monday
afternoon on the charge of abducting n
feeble-minded girl from the Christian home ,
was given a preliminary hearing before
Judge McGee yesterday morning , and , as a
result , was bound over to the September
grand Jury. Ho was unable to furnish a
bond of $500 and was taken to the county
Jail for safe keeping.
Banks had among his effects a number of
railway passes which some of the officials
liavo a faint hope may assist In finding out
something more about the fellow. One of
thcso passes was In the name of B. M. Banks ,
wife and two children , Issued In 1894 ; a second
end was over the Northern Pacific , issued In
1893 , for Airs. Banks and two children ; n
third was over the Great Northern , Issued
In 1893 , for D. F. Banks. In his pocket was
also a postal card addressed to Mrs. B. M.
Banks , Lexington , Oklahoma territory , care
of Ed Egglcston.
Robert Brunger was fined $15.70 for drunk
enness , and , as he had no cash , will prob
ably have to live out the amount In the
marshal's custody. He was one of the In
mates of the Northwestern hotel when It
caught flro Friday night. He celebrated his
escape from a fiery grave and was landed In
the calaboose. Upon trial ho was fined
$10,70. He paid the amount and was re
leased with $5 left him. In a few hours
he had accumulated another Jag , but the $5
was miss ng when an officer bundled him
off to the station for his second temperance
lecture.
The police have been unable so far to
make a case of burglarly stick against D.
F. Rodgers , and ho was given n ten-day sen
tence upon the streets for vagrancy.
The case of F. E. Ktngsbury , charged with
assault upon Waldo Nason , was continued
until tomorrow morning. Yesterday's devel
opments showed that Mr. Klngsbury must
huvo done some very lively work In the
scrapping line In the few minutes he was
so engaged , One of the women was hit In
the breast and hurt so that she was kept up
all nlcht. Another Is wearing her arm In
a sling , whllo the third fainted away at
the first sight of danger. Add to this the
fact that Waldo Nason's face can hardly be
recognized on account of the lumps and
bruises It bears , nnd that Harry , his little
biother , Is still half dead from the fright
ho received , and It Is evident that Mr.
Klngebury created a great commotion In
the Nason family. Harry Nason denies that
he spoke to Mr. Ktngsbury when ho met him
on the street , or acted In any other Insult-
In K imuiirvr toward him. He says that he
had heard that Klngsbury was making
threats against him and when Klngsbury
suddenly popped Into view ho Jumped with
fright. This movement , ho thinks , ID what
Klncsbury must have taken to be meant
for an Insult , but he avers that It was not.

City Wlmckii Up.
The city council met as a committee of
the whole yesterday afternoon for the pur
pose of considering a matter with reference
to city bonds. It will be remembered that
several months ago an arrangement was
made by which the Citizens State bank
acreed to carry a certain amount of the
city bonds without the payment of Interest
by the city , la consideration of having a
portion of the city funds on deposit A shirt
time ago a dispute nrojc as to whether the
bank had agreed to carry $30,000 or $35,000 ,
the bank claiming the former and the
council the latter. There teemed to bo
about ns much evidence on one sld as on
the other , and , In fact , there was but little
conclusive evidence on cither. At the meet
ing of the committee yesterday It was de
cided thatrather than have a lawsuit over
the question a compromise should bo fixed
up and the difference rpllt. This sort of an
arrangement was agreeable to the bank offi
cials and will be entered Into.

BRET HARTE'S TRASH.
lite I'oct at 1'ovoity Flat Fools IMllnr
Lnbouclicrc.
Bret Harte's most famous London Joke
mcde a victim of a celebrated man. Dress
ing himself In the threadbare , frayed ,
fringed and faded garments which would
quiet likely be worn by a cross between a
Bohemian Journalist and a tramp , Bret Harte
visited the office of Labouchcre's Truth and
asked to see the eminent Journalist. He
was ushered Into the holy of holies , the
inner olfice of the newspaporlal M. P. , and
told him that he had a poem which he
would be pleased to sell , and asked Mr.
Labouchere to look It over. But the fn
mcus lance-hurler of the London press at
first refused to glance at the offering , but
upon Harte's earnestly pleading his Imme
diate need of money , Mr. Labouchero hastily
examined the production. Then he returned
It with the remark :
"I cannot use this trash. "
"But , my God , " exclaimed Harte , "I'm
starving ! "
"What do you want for it ? " Inquired
Labouchere.
"It Is worth a pound ? " said Harte , with
an expression Indicating that his heart was
crbwllng up in the vicinity of his larynx.
"What , a pound ! It Is not worth the
ppper It Is written on , " raged Labouchere.
"If you want charity , I can give you a
few shillings , but It would only be accom-
pi-rlcd by advice to the effect that a strong ,
able-bodied man like you can make more
money and give less cause of offense by
seeking employment at hop-picking or ship
ping before the mast. Instead of attemptIng -
Ing to worm your way Into journalism , why
did you not join the expedition for the re
lief of General Gordon ? Who are you , any
way ? "
"Bret Harto , " was the answer as the
major portion of the disguise was removed
and the astonished Labouchero beheld a
club companion whom he had known for
years. The poem , however , will soon be
published to the world , and It Is one of
Harto's greatest efforts. But Its Introduc
tion to the great world will not be through
the columns of the London Truth.
GIBBS WAS SURPRISED.
And the Telegram IMudo Mini Hurry Homo
on tlio Ociuhlc.Olllck.
Glbbs was a commercial traveler and had
gone on a journey to the north , relates the
New York Mercury. A few days afterward
the Glbbs household was increased by one
a boy. As the mother was very 111 the doc
tor was requested to write out a telegram
Informing Glbbs of the addition to his family
and also his wife's Illness , and asking him
to return homo with as little delay as pos
sible.
This was done and the telegram was
given to the servant to send off. That Intel
ligent girl , being unable to read , put the
message In her pocket and forgot all about
It. The nex * day Glbbs paid a flying visit
home nnd was gratified to find his wife and
family go.ng on nicely. After staying
home a few hours he took his departure
without anything having been said about the
telegram , which his wife naturally supposed
he hud received.
A day or two after ho had gone the serv
ant found the message In her pocket and
after consulting her favorite policeman she
decided to send It off at once without say
ing a word to nny ono about the delay.
That night Glbbs , upon returning to his
hotel , was horrified when the following tele
gram , bearing that day's date , was pladud
In his hand :
"Another addition , a son ; your wife Is
very 111 ; return at once. "
"Anotherl" he gasped. "Great Jupiter ! "
Ho rushed to the station and took the
next train home and dashing Into the house
In a state of frenzy , demanded to know
what had happened , The servant con
fessed all. The next day there was a va
cancy for an Intelligent , honest girl at
Glbbs' establishment.

PARIS , July 31. The police of France
arc Investigating whut Is probably one of
the most remarkable robberies on record ,
and It Is believed that the police authori
ties of the United States will be asked , It
they have not already been so requested , to
take a hand In the Investigation.
In some unaccountable manner a cask of
gold from New York , valued at $50,000 , has
been stolen while In transportation from
Havre to Paris ,
The French line steamship La Touralnc ,
Captain Santclll , left New York July 21 for
Havre , with forty casks of American gold on
board , valued at $2,000,000 , and consigned
to various concerns. She arrived here July
29. The forty casks of gold nrc believed to
have been safely landed nt Havre , and they
are also paid to have been placed , complete ,
on board the train running between Havre
and this city. Hut when the precious
casks were counted upon arrival here , there
were only thirty-nine of them ; one cask , con
taining $50,000 In American' gold , having
by Fem mean * disappeared.
The disappearance of the cask of gold has
given rise to a number of theories , the
strongest being that the gold was followed
from New Yoik by expert thieves , who pa
tiently awaited their chance to abstract
one of the casks. The police , pending the
termination of their Investigation , will not
give any particulars concerning the robbery ,
but It la believed several persons were con
cerned in the theft , fur the cask of gold must
have weighed nearly 200 pounds , and even
a very strong man could not have carried
puch a load alone for any great distance.
Among the theories being Investigated Is
one which may turn out to be correct. It Is
that the thief hid himself or themselves In
the car In which the gold was subsequently
placed , and that while on their way to Paris ,
one cask of gold was thrown out of the
train and the robber jumped after It. But
the fact that only one cask of gold was
stolen would scent to Indicate , according to
another theory , that only one person was
concerned In the abstraction of the cask of
gold from the train.
But the theroles arc many , and the facts
made public are very few , not even the
name of the consignees of the gold being
made known up to the present.
Although It Is positively asserted that
the cask of precious metal was stolen while
on its way to this city yesterday , there are
people who ask If a mistake may not have
been made In the counting of the casks at
Havre , and whether the gold was not ab
stracted on board the .steamer. The steam
ship company's officers reply that It Is Impossible
possible- for thieves to getjat the gold on
board ships , so closely Is It guarded. In ad
dition to the fact that thb small hold In
which It Is sealed Is situated In the most
secure part of the vessel.
In any case a most successful robbery
has been committed , and the police of
France are busily engaged In an attempt to
solve the mystery of the disappearance of
the $50,000 cask of gold.
NEW YORK , July 31. There were three
consignments of gold by La Touralne on her
latest trip. Two consignments of twenty
casks each , the value of which was $2,000,000 ,
were shipped by Lazard Frerts of this city and
were consigned to Lazard .Frcres of Paris.
One additional shipment of ten casks was
made by Messrs. Heldelbach , Ickelhelmer &
Co. to the Credit Lyonnals and was valued
at $500,000. , ,
No theory as to how the robbery was com
mitted , could be advancedby the , steams.lilp
"
agents. The specie they" say , Is Invariably
placed In the strong room , which Is really
an enormous safe. As to the theory that It
may have been thrown from .e train while
cnroute from Havre to Paris , nothing could
be said. In the absence of Information from
the home office.

Mr. W. W. Erwin of St. Paul , chief coun
sel for the American Railway union officers
on trial In Chicago , was not nursed In the
lap of affluence. Not many years ago a
dollar locked larger than a thousand now ,
and a $10 fee was an epoch. At one period
In his llfo pinching poverty compelled him to
ask a Mr. Ingersoll for a loan of$5. . Inger-
sell was rich , as well as a Sunday school
leader with a great weakness for prayer.
Ingersoll made no answer to the request , but
took Erwin down to a quiet corner of the
cellar , where ho lectured the young man
on the error of his ways and closed the dis
course with prayer for his redemption. As
soon as Ingersoll said "Amen" ho turned
to go away , but Erwin said : "Hold on , Mr.
Ingersoll ; you have been very kind to me
and I appreciate your prayers. Indeed , I
feel like praying now myself. Will you
kneel down with me ? "
Somewhat surprised , but delighted none
the less at the other's evident penitence ,
Ingersoll knelt again , with Erwin at his
side. With the advantage of an early re
ligious acquaintance , Erwin had the gift of
prayer himself , and he prayed BO earnestly
and eloquently , as long and oven louder
than his friend for the sound brought some
of Ingersoll's employes to the head of the
stairs.
"O Lord , " he said , "help me to feel my
wickedness and to appreciate all that this
good man Is doing for me. I realize my
sins , and I will bo a better man with Thy
help and his. But , 0 Lord , bless Mr. In
gersoll , too , and make him a better man.
Thou hast blest him with an abundance
of worldly goods ; thou hast blest him , as
the good book says. In basket and In store ;
thou hast given him more than his share of
the good things of this life. But , O Lord ,
than knowtst that ho has been unworthy
of the least of these thy blessings. Thcu
knowost that ho Is charged with grinding
the faces of the poor , and that the widow
and the orphan In his employ find It pretty
hard to have meat more than once a day
and pay their car fare. Thou knowest that
ho Is too apt to turn a deaf car to the cries
of thy suffering poor. Lord , make him a
better man , make him humble , make him
liberal , loosen the buviols of his compassion
and to show that our pruyers arc answered
let him look upon m ° 1 my poverty right
now and lend mo that $5 ! And tlilno shall
be the glory ! Amenl'i '
As they arose from their knees there was
a shout of laughter' frobi the head of the
stairs and a scurrylpfj ,0f the eavesdroppers
back to work before \\if\r \ \ \ employer could
Identify them. Ingmoll handed the young
man } 5 and went on hlsi way. It was a re
markable and Immqdlafb answer to prayer.
Some good stories' are going the rounds
concerning Sir Mat libv ? ' ' Ucgble , chief Jus
tice of British Columbia , who died the other
day. Here Is one of them' In 1883 a man
was charged In Vlotorln with having killed
another man with a Handbag , and In the face
of the Judge's summing 4ip the Jury brought
In a verdict of not &ulltyi This annoyed the
chief Justice , who at , puce Bald :
"Gentlemen of tlia Jury , mind , that Is
your verdict , not mine. On your conscience
will rest the stigma of returning such a
disgraceful verdict. Many repetitions of
such conduct as yours will make trial by
Jury a horrible farce and the city of Vic-
torla a nest of immorality and crime. Go , I
have nothing more to say to you. "
And then , turning to the prisoner , the
chief Justice added : "You are discharged.
Go and sandbag come of those Jurymen ,
they deserve 11"
An old newspaper clipping tells an Inter
esting story of the first law case handled by
the late William Walter Phelps. Ills client
was a pretty young woman who claimed that
the landlord of the houseIn which she
lodged had called after her one night as she
entered her room , "There goes a thief , " Mr.
Phelps failed to prove his case and It soon
became evident that the charge was ground
less. Then the opposing counsel began an
Insulting and tantalizing cfotexamln llon
that greatly Incensed not only the plain
tiff's attorney but the spectators In the court
room , and the young woman burst Into tears.
The Judge , with stolid Indifference , refused
to Interfere. The Jury gave n verdict In
favor of the woman for the sum of $50.
Later Mr. Phelps met the foreman of the
Jury who volunteered the Information :
"Wo didn't believe that he called her ft
thief , and we didn't believe that you ex
pected any damages , but you were so good
naturcd that we thought that we could give
you damage enough to make the costs. "
U Is related by Kate Field's Washington
that Lord Coleridge sprang Into eminence as
a lawyer by adroitly seizing a simple Inci
dent while ho was pleading the cause of a
man on trial for murder. In the course of
lila long argument a candle In the Jury box
flickered and went ou' , leaving the court
room In darkness. He stopped speaking ,
and the silence In court was oppressive. Th
scene , with Its dark shadows , Its grim faces ,
the scarlet robes of the Judge , nnd the hag
gard face of the murderer was worthy of
Rembrandt. The usher replaced the light
and Coleridge resumed his address. "Gen
tlemen of the Jury , you have a solemn duty ,
n very solemn duty to dis
charge. The life of the prisoner nt the bar
Is In your hands. You cnn take It by n
word. You can extinguish that llfo ns the
candle by your side was extinguished n
moment ago. But It Is not In your power ,
It Is not In the power of any of us of any
one In the court or out of It to restore
that life , when once taken , as that light
has been restored. " The tone In which the
words were spoken , the cadence of the
voice and the action of thu orator , with
the Inspiration of the bccno and the hour ,
produced a 'thrilling effect. The Jury ac
quitted the prisoner , and Coleridge's for
tune was made. He was never without n
brief after that.
The sarcastic Justice Maule , says the San
Francisco Argonaut , did not spare his Judi
cial brethren. "I do not believe , " he said
to the counsel once , "that any such absurd
law has over been laid down , although It Is
true that I have not yet seen the last num
ber of the Queen's Bench Reports. " When
a wltncbs was tolling an Impossible story ,
and declared that'he could not tell a He.
for he had been wedded to truth from his
Infancy , Justice Motile observed : "Yes ,
but the question Is , How long have you been
a widower ? " The counsel who objected tea
a bill of costs In n case before Justice Mnule
and a Jury declared that the account was n
"diabolical bill. " The Judge told the Jury ,
however , that even If the statement of the
counsel were true , It was still their duty to
"give the devil his due. "
Another I'lilliintliropUt.
Inventor I've got the model of a machine
here that will do the work of fifty men.
Capitalist How many men does It take to
run It ?
"Two. "
"Then every machine you build throws
forty-eight men out of employment. What's
to become of those ? "
Capitalist's Daughter Why , papa , let them
go to the seaside. They're needed there
awfully.
Tlio.v Stuck Out Too I.ont ; .
Texas Sittings : "Yes , " said the old trav
eler , "I was on n Jury In Callfornlai
once. I didn't want the fellow hung , , and
so stuck out against the other eleven for
nlno days , locked up In the Jury room , when
they gave In , and we brought In a verdict of
Not guilty. ' And then I was ready to stab
myself with spite. "
"What about ? "
"Cause the mob had hung the prisoner on
the very first day wo were locked up ! "
