People Not Homly.
\ The county supervisors met at the court
house yesterday and spent all day In routine
matters which had been left over from lasl
meeting. It had been expected that the
officers ot the Council Bluffs & Manawa Elec
tric Railway company would be present for
the purpose of urging their claims to a right
of way along the county road between
Council Bluffs and the lake , but none of then
appeared. An Investigation elicited the fac
that the company has not been entirely suc
cessful In securing property along the roat
sufficient to make the road 100 feet wide
throughout the quarter of a mile that Inter
venes between the two towns. Some of the
property owners agreed In the flrst place to
let the company have enough of their property
to make the dcalrcd width without money
and without price , but later on they rnlset
the price. While this has not knocked the
company out ot the box by any means , I
has caused considerable confusion and wll
take more or less time to fix up satlsfac
torlly to both parties. The company wants
the matter postponed again until the January
term , In the hope that by that tlmo the
difficulties v-l > l have been surmounted. The
board , however , has agreed to spend a lo
of tlmo next term In hearing the multltudln
ous cases that are arising under the mule
law , and there Is a fear that things may
be crowded along about that time. It Is
possible that the railway company may ge
Its matters adjusted In time to have Its pe
tltlon acted upon before the board adjourn
nt this session. _

Illnton's station , on the Chicago , Burling-
on & Qulncy railroad , a dozen miles south
f Council Bluffs , was a point of more than
ocal Interest yesterday , owing to the an
nouncement In The Dee that Frank Quan-
clla's sand bank had been yielding petrified
men. A number of newspaper men drove
down during the day and examined the
ocallty and the queer product with con
siderable Interest. When the reporters ar
rived the stone Image had been taken from
ts sandy bed and placed In a rude box , sur
rounded with straw , and hauled up to the
louse. The Image Is a remarkably well
preserved cast of an absolutely nude man
of ordinary stature. He reclines on his
back , with hit head turned slightly to the
eft , his hands crossed over his breast , and
tils right leg drawn up and crossed over the
eft below the knee. There Is scarcely a
part of the skin broken except over the ab
domen , where n great cavity has been torn
out. The configuration of the skin Is as
distinct as If It was a cast made from life
with materials as plastic as putty. The
wrinkles around the knuckles and backs
of the hands are Us startllngly distinct as If
It was a statue carved by a master from
solid stone. The eyes and mouth are closed
and the face Is full and round , and the
checks not at all sunken. The nose Is large
and well formed , although a trllle too thick
to be admired as a thing of beauty. The
neck and Jaw are those of an athlete and
the shoulders and biceps those of n prize
fighter. All the muscles ore full , rounded
and remarkably well developed. The mus
cles of the legs were not in a flabby condl
lion when the man was turned Into stone ,
but are drawn up and flexed like ho felt
Inclined to kick at something or other. TIi
feet are very Interesting and suggestive
The thick skin of the heels retains all of the
original corrugations. Prominent bunions
mark the largo Joints of his big toes , anc'
there are still unmistakable traces of thf
old corns on his second and third toes. I )
getting him out his left arm was broken a'
the elbow and his left foot was knocked off.
Otherwise It Is without a blemish , and looks
like a man who might have lain down la ?
night In rugged health and went to sleep
and was turned Into stone by the horrors
of a bad dream.
The locality where he was found Is of greal
geologic Interest. The hills are of most
remarkable formation , piled In Irregular form ,
one upcn another. Beside ledges of ret !
quartzlte lie streaks of hornblend am !
gneiss that have for Immediate neighbors
old sandstone and granite. Layers of lime
stone In all stages of formation Jut out every
where , and mixed with conglomerate masses
of sand and gravel as hard as cement arc
streaks of pure gypsum , while on every hand
are great masses of Iron ore. Half way up
one of the hillsides , fifty feet above the rail
road tracks , Is a stratum of coarse sand and
; ravel , so heavily charged with Iron that
t looks llke'a mass of Iron rust. In this sand ,
about three feet from the top of the stratum ,
the man was found , surrounded by loose ,
dry material , and very easily exhumed. The
outside Is , of course , stained by the Iron.
The discoloration does not extend below the
surface.
The petrifaction will be brought to town
today and will bo subjected to the Inspection
of scientists.

advantage of the cpportunlty afforded them
of using their sh.ortthand , by taking down
evidence. It was proved by Mr. Schaeffer
who keeps a tpyewrttlng establishment In
Omaha , that Chrlstfellow called on him th
morning after the burglary and tried to set
him a typewriter. Detective Davis also sad
that ChrUtfellow struck him with the sam

OMl'LAIN OF Till ! COST Of LIGHTING.
Itlzcns limlut that the I'.lcctrlo Light Com
pany Auk * Ton Much for It * Srr\lco ,
The contract for lighting the city has not
ct been signed , and the question has arisen
vhether the mayor Is compelled to sign It
t the direction of the council , or has the
eto power the same as In the case of ordl-
ances. The mayor placed himself on rec-
rd at the last meeting of the council as
rmly opposed to making n contract to run
or more than two years , but the aldermen ,
egardless of Ills suggestion , awarded II
or another five years. Now It U claimed
ho mayor will refuse to sign the contract
nlcss ho learns that the council can compel
Im to do so.
The citizens are loud In their complaints
nt the council for affording them no protcc-
ton against the high rates charged by the
ompany. Many are talking seriously of
aklng out their arc lights and using gat
ext year , simply because the charges are so
ilgh. Even at the high rates now charged
or gas , It Is cheaper for lighting purposes
han electricity , and the prospect Is that In
a year or so the city will be about the only
atron the electric light company will have.
The fact that the company agrees to fur-
ilsh the city arc lights at a cost of $31 per
annum Is an eye opener to the citizens. They
reason that If the company can afford , to
urnlsh lights for that pries at wholesale ,
hey ought to bo able to furnish them at r
slight advance at retail. While the city Is
paying $81 per annum for each light , the
irlvate consumer will be paying from $115
o $157 per annum , according as his light
uns until 10 o'clock or midnight. One
Broadway merchant , who runs a 12 o'clock
Ight , paid $15 a month for threa months ,
! 13 a month for six months , $11 a month for
wo months , and $12 for one month , a total
of $157. Ho used the lights on nn average
about six -hours a day , and every hour was
paying just twice what the city pays for the
same sort of service.
The council has decided to take no actlot
for the benefit of the private property owner
ami any concessions that are obtained fron
the company ! wl.l have to be secured by the
efforts of the citizens themselves They nr <
gradually waking up to the fact that they
are being charged exorbitant prices for thf
< lnd of lights they have been getting , and
the next year Is likely to see quite a change
n the method of lighting business houses.

MOKE THAN HAl'trAllD IMPLICATED.
Four Men Salt ! to Ho Interested In Alias
( ilng'n Death.
MINNEAPOLIS. Dec. 12. The Journal
says there are probably more arrests to
come In the Glng murder case. From the
flrst It has been regarded as well nigh.In
credible that Harry Hayward , used as he
was to playing for high stakes , a man who
had often bet $1,000 on the turn of a card ,
should enter Into a conspiracy against this
Irl's life for u share of only $10,000 Insur
ance. It has been considered of paramount
mportnnce that the man \vho sent a note
: o Miss Glng on the morning of the murder
from outside the West hotel should be
identified. The view has been taken that
; hls man was a commercial traveler who
md nothing to do with the tragedy what
ever , but In such an event It would cost the
man nothing to set official doubt on the sub-
lect of his Identity and purpose In sending
that note at rest. The fact he has not
come forward has Inspired the authorities
with a belief that he had an Important con
nection with the case. It has leaked out
that the sender of that note has been Identi
fied to the satisfaction of detectives , and
that his arrival Is likely to occur at any
moment.
Hayward had a greater Incentive than has
tiltherto been supposed In desiring the death
of Catherine Glng. The young woman Is
said , on very good authority , to have had
live Insurance policies Instead of two , .and
each of them was for $5,000. Three other
nersons besides Hayward were In the plan
for bringing about her death , and these men
have not yet been taken Into custody. One
of them IH the man of dark complexion
who- sent Miss Glng a note from the West
hotel on the morning of the assassination.
That no report has been made of the ex
istence of other policies on Miss Glng's life
Is not surprising , for the reason that pre
sumably the conspirators are afraid to de
mand settlement of their claims. A dili
gent search is going on to discover with
what companies the remaining Insurance
was placed , but no trace of It has been dis
covered. Evidence Is now pretty well In
hand that Hayward was the local member
of nn Insurance gang. The plan to murder
Catherine Glng was developed by four mem
bers of the gang , of whom Hayward was
one. These four men were In Miss Glng's
room holding a conference with her on
Sundav afternoon , the day before the mur
der. The grand jury has finished Its Inves
tigation of the case , but no Indictments
hove yet been found.
A bundle of clothes which may belong to
the murderer of Catherine Glng was found
near the spot where she was murdered
The clothes were found under a brush
heap , where they had evidently been placed
recently. The shirts presented the appear
ance of having stains resembling blood
which had been washed.

Sentence Which Miiy IIuvo n Tendency to
DiscotmiRci the Industry.
TUCSON , Ariz. , Dec. 12.-A special to the
Star from Florencs says that Judge House
last night sentenced Oscar Rogers , con
victed of train robbing , to be hanged on the
8th of February. The crime for which ho
has been sentenced to suffer the death pen
alty was perpetrated on the 30th of last
September , when three men , Oscar Rogers ,
rank Arner and John' Donovan , held up
the eastbound overland nt Marlcopa station.
They secured about $ CO from Wells-Fargo's
box and the messenger's gold watch. Arner
was captuied the following- day near Phoe
nix , after a desperate light with the sheriff
and posse. He was wounded , but has fully
recovered. Rogers was captured near Yuma
and was brought to Tucson. Donovan Is
still nt large and officers have about given
up hope of ever tffectlng his capture. Last
week Arner pleaded guilty ami was sen
tenced to thirty years at Yuma penitentiary.
Rogers declared himself Innocent and the
trial resulted as already stated. An appeal
will bo taken. The general opinion of the
lawyers of the territory Is that the law
making train robbing a capital offense Is
unconstitutional and that the supreme court
of the territory will order a new trial of the
on a simple charge of robbery.

the Citizens Commltttc.
'
SIOUX CITY , la. , Dec. . ( Special Tele
gram. ) The Jury In the Supervisor Walter
Strange Impcactinient case 'returned a ver
dict of guilty at 3:30 : this afternoon. The
charges were obtaining money under false
pretenses , extortion and wilful maladminis
tration.
The Strange partisans had boldly declared
that the Jury would never agree , and looked
confidently to a disagreement. Ugly rumors
had been afloat to the effect that two of the
Jury had been fixed , and , as the defendant
has had previous notoriety as a Jury manipulator
later , people generally believed the Jury would
hang. The fact that one Juryman , Mike
Kccgan , the one who was known to be hangIng -
Ing out for disagreement , had been seen
under the Influence of liquor with Strange
strikers was commented on as very sus
picious , and It was known that another of the
twelve good men and true , Juror Haaklnson ,
had openly declared that the Jury should
never convict Strange while he was on It.
So , although there has never been the
slightest doubt In the mind of the public of
the guilt of Supervisor Strange , there was
little hope of a conviction.
This Is the second victory ot the citizens'
committee , the body which prosecuted the
case. The criminal case ngalnst Strange
on Indictment brought by the grand Jury on
charges Involving extortion and blackmail
ing will be pressed at the January term of
the district court.
The cases against the other supervisors It
Is thought will not be pushed , as most of
them have retired to private life. Strange
was considered the arch malefactor , and his
conviction Is regarded as attaining the ma
terial ends of Justice.
Walter Strange has been prominent In
business aul politics In the county and city
for many years. Two years ago he was the
republican candidate for mayor. He was the
organizer of the Central Stock Yards com
pany , which was absorbed by the Union
Stock Yards company.
Ex-County Auditor J. J. Jordan , Indicted

DES MOINES. Dec. 12.-Speclal ( Tele-
gram. ) The supreme court today made a
number of decisions affecting Iowa's mulct
law. One of the points In the case of the
state against 11. M. Vanvllet Is that rem
edy by Injunction still exists , and the bur
den Is upon defendant to plead and prove
happenings of those conditions which con
stitute a bar to proceedings against him.
In another decision , state against Hart let

Investigation of points In the law , imd this
leads to the belief that the supreme court
Intends to hold that the law Itself Is consti
tutional when that point comes up , as It
will.

"The motto of modern medicine , " says a

It la not nn racy motto to spell , but any

Ills wound weakened him for life.
So , and attack ot disease may , and fre
quently docs , leave malignant affects long
after the doctors say It has been cured. The
\\rltcr Just quoted says that the wisest plan
Is to keep the body so strong that It will
throw off slckncscs of Its own accord. Never
let the pyttcm run down.
If there Is a liability to lake cold , n dis
position to sneeze and to cough , and A stiff
ness of thn muscles , you may know that the
bodily forces need stimulating , to meet a
danger so common In this cllmato at this
season. Duffy's 1'ure Malt Whisky Is made
to meet such emergencies. U Is In line with
the most advanced thought of medical au
thority. Prepared for medicinal use only , It
Is the prince of preventives , I'coplo who

and thus keeps rheumatic twinges at a dis
