and Calvin KO < HO and as a result of the swln
dlo has ECO acres ot worthless land lylnj ,
north of Council Bluffs , for which he paid
$11,000 In epot cash and assumed mortgages
to the amount of $13,800. He says In a poll
tlon which was fl'eJ in the district court yes
torday that the defendants combined togethei
to Induce him to buy the property at an ex
orbltant figure. They represented that Falk
had a perfect Mile , when his title- was de
fectlve ; that it was high ground , not subjec
to Inundation , free from gumbo and sultubk
for stock raising , when It is low and so we
that cattle cannot graze upon It , bcaldes
being plentifully supplied with gumbo.
Uartlett says he had known llceso a long
tlmo and It was arranged that Ileeso shoul
poio as a disinterested party , looking only to
his best Interests. The conspirators took him
over the ground hurriedly and gave him ni
chance to examine it closely. It looked al
right to him and he agreed to pay nearly
$50 on aero for It , when It was not worti
moro than $30. Ho asks that the $11,000 h
hai already paid bo given back to him anu
the contract by which ho is to assume the
$13.800 In mortgages bo declared null
void.

As oclnllon'n MUIIGJN
More than one-half of the members of the
ederal court Jury apparently are having their
first experience at expert accountant work ,
nd more than eleven-tweltttit. of them arc
finding It cxceullngly dry work. Several of
hem arc caught nodding occasionally , as the
evidence In the Illchmond case progresses ,
ind oao man , who occupied a conspicuous
losltlon In the front row , spent most of yes-
.crday afternoon In cat-naps. Almost the enf
: lro day was passed In going over the asso
ciation bookn , the receiver , \V. W. Wllcoxen ,
and his booklcecpr , R. H , Lyman , being upon
the stand In behalf of th'e government.
It was shown that Richmond took advantage
of his position as secretary to Issue $13,000 $
worth ot stock to himself and paid for It
from the loan fund. Then the stock was
withdrawn , and he pocketed the money. He
also borrowed $10,000 of the association and
! 2cured It by mortggC3 on land , supposed to
situated In Dakota. The mortgages arc
missing , and the land Is Mid to have no cx-
stcnce. With the $10,000 he paid for a lot
of stock In the association , which he then
withdrew and put the cash In his own pocket.
Some discussion arose over the source of
LymanH figures. He iald ho took them from
: he ledger without comparing the ledger with
.lie cash book and other books of original
entry. I'oorman , on the cantrary , presented
Igtlres which disagreed with hlB. The ques-
: lon was : Where lay the discrepancy. DIs- ,
: rlct Attorney Fullen asked Lyman how long
t would take him to make a thorough check-
; ng up , and he replied ho thought he could
do It In a couple of days.
"Very well , " remarked Judge Shlras. "we
will do It If it takes a week , If the attorneys
for the defense Insist. "
"We Insist , " said Mr. Prouty , and It looks
as though the casa might drag along Into next
week.

ATTACK ON MANAVVA'H EXISTENCE
Sutti liegnn tuMimr that the Town In Not n
Town nt .Ml.
John Tobln , who really represents some
bigger man , proposes to find out whether
Manawa Is a town or only a summer watering
place , and that desire for Information is the
cause of the filing of two petitions In the
superior court yesterday. The difficulty In
fact arises from the recent action of the
Manawa council In putting a $150 a month
tax on saloons , with power to remit It where
thought advisable , their Intention being to
freeze Colonel Reed out of the business ,
Reed now comes back at them and chal
lenges the right ot the town council c !
Manawa to pabs an ordinance or anything
else , even a saloon.
In the first suit W. H. Beck , mayor ; Wil
liam liallou , recorder , and U. Thomas , C.
Bartlow and E. T. Wright , trustees , are
made defendants. It sets forth that In 18S9
Ballou and twenty-seven other men claimIng -
Ing to be residents of the territory which
was to be Included In the corporate limits
filed a petition asking that they be allowet
to Incorporate as the town of Manawa. F.
C. Reed , Mark DeLlsle , Charles O. Maloncy
and W. II. Beck were appointed commis
sioners , and their report was filed In August
1889. The petitioner alleges that this In
corporation was lllegel , on the ground that
there were not twenty-five voters living In
the territory at the time the petition was
filed ; eleven of the names signed to the peti
tion were names of non-residents ; the peti
tion was false and fraudulent , and known to
bo such when filed ; no certified copy of the
petition and no certified transcript of the
piocecdlnga connected with It were ever
filed with the secretary of state ; by the dis
trict court the land Included In the town
limits has been reduced to eighty ficroes , o ;
which a third Is In the lake , and cnly ten
voters reside In the town.
As further grounds of his action Tcbln
relates that the defendants are claiming to
hold city offices , when as a matetr of faci
they have no right to do so , because the
town has no corporate existence. Ho asks
that the town and Its officers be required to
show by what right they claim to bo per
forming their functions , and that a judgment
be issued forfeiting the franchise and ousting
the officials from their positions.
The second petition contains many of the
same allegations and makes II. Stelnburger
defendant. Ho was elected treasurer In
March , 1895 , The petition states that no
convention was held to nominate him , no
nominating papers were filed with the re
corder , no election board was appointed prop
erly. Sixteen votes were cast , and twelve o.
them were for Stelnburger. Of the twelve
eight are claimed to have been cast by men
who were not qualified voters , but were pro
cured fraudulently to vote for the defendant.
Tobln wants him ousted , too.

Robfrt Stewart and Minnie Bird , young
people living In Garner township , visited
Council Bluffs Wednesday -with the Intention
of having a matrimonial knot tied befcre they
went away , but the bride's mother dawned
upon the scene a lltlla ahead of them snd
InUrposed a veto , which has proved effective ,
at least for the present. She did It by calling
at the office of the county clerk and Instruct
ing him not to Usue any licence , claiming her
daughter was In poor health. This the clerk
conildered a valid objection. When the
young people came he told them the mother
had been there first , and they tatd they would
if ? whit they could do In Omaha. But Mn
Bird hid been there too , and they found an
other avenue out of single blessed now boarded
up. Finally Emll Schuri was called In ai an
arbitrator , and h" arbitrated all night at hard
at ho could. The young people begged and
stormed , the arbitrator looked thoughtful , but
Mrs. Hlrd remained Inexorable. When morn-
ng arrived , Mrs. Bird had won , cards , ipadei
and four aces , and the game was hers. Her
daughter and the man she wanted to marry
had decided to postpone the wedding until
next fall. In the hope- that by that time her
lealth will bo better and her mother's objec-
Ions weaker.

Jease Dungan , son of the hardware mer

,
. forgery. A few evenings ago he called al
Marks Bros. ' store on Lower Broadway and
isked one cf the men to cash a $5 check for
him. They did not have the amount In the
drawer at the time , but took him acrois the
street and Introduced him to a friend named
Banks , telling him that the check was all
right. The money was produced and that
was the last seen of the young man. His
father states that he never signed the check.
An Information has been filed and a warrant
Is now In the hand : of an cfil er , who Is
yearning tor a chance to level nls 6pt'lcs on
the young man.
Dungan Is said to have played a trick on
S. M. Williamson a short time ago that cost
that gentleman several dollars. He bought
a bicycle , but paid nothing for It. A short
time afterward Williamson found on Investi
gation that the wheel had been deposited with
A. A. Clark as security tor a loan of $18. He
paid the amount and took his wheel back to
his store.

Last night the audience at the Plerson
meeting at the Presbyterian church was
larger than any evening since Sunday. The
Interest Is Increasing dally , and every night
some are professing conversion. Besides
being a thorough organizer , Mr. Plerson Is
an eloquent , earnest preacher , and a firm
bollever and teacher of constant prayer. The
"after meetings" are fraught with even more
Interest than the preaching service. Mr.
Plerson never Indulges In sensationalism. He
snld last night that nothing could be more
disastrous to the cause than to have a big
bonfire of religious enthusiasm , and then have
It all die out , leaving nothing but ashes
which would be blown away by the first wind.
As has been announced by hand bills , no
building In the city is large enough to hold
the crowds who would like to hear Mr. Pier
son , so Saturday night at 8:15 : o'clock It has
been arranged to hold a big out-door meetIng -

All members tf the city council were pres
ent last night at llig _ speclal meeting. But
Ittle business was transacted outside of the
settling of the occupation tax against the sa-
eon keepers and the hearing of the remon
strance against the granting of a saloon
Iccnse to Frank Humpert.
At the call for reports of committees Wal-
crs , chairman of the Judiciary committee ,
reported adverse to the suggestions of the
nayor that were made nt the time he asked
hat the ordinance bo reconsidered and steps
> s taken In accordance with the rccommcnda-
lon In his annual message that a tax of
; 200 bo placed upon the saloon keepers. The
report was signed by the full committee and
tated that after a full Investigation the con
clusion had been reached that $100 was a sum
as large as the saloon keepers would bs able
o stand owing to the present condition and
outlook for business. The rulesvere sus-
> ended and the ordinance was read for the
lilrcl time. It was pasied by the council ,
nit two members , Hyland and Mies , voting
against It.
Walters made a motion that the saloon
{ eepers who had made application and those
contemplating doing so and who were run
ning saloons at the present time , be compelled
o deposit the full .1 mount of the license with
.he treasurer on or before May C , at noon ;
those falling to comply with the order to be
closed by the chief of police. The motion
carried.
The city engineer was Instructed to prepare
an ordinance levying a special tax against
, ho p'roperty on Thirty-ninth street to cover
the costs of the condemnation proceedings
which were made necessary by the opening
ot the street from Q to S streets.
The taking of testimony In the remon
strance of The Bee against the granting of a
saloon license to Frank Humpert on account
of his not having advertised In the paper
having the largest circulation In the county
was heard. The evidence Introduced showed
: hat the applicant had not used good faith In
advertising In a Iccal paper. Attorney Sim-
eral for The Bee urged that from the testi
mony of Councilman Walters It was shown
that the city had a population ot 15,000 or
10,000. The Slocumb law required that all
such cities should not Issue a license for
Ic-'s than $1,000. He also stated that upon
this line he proposed to flght the matter In
the district court and felt It his duty to In
form the council of the fact.
At the conclusion of this statement a reso
lution was passed declaring against The Bee ,
Walters being the only ono who voted against
It , taking occasion to show that he had voted
consistently with the evidence Introduced. A
notice of appeal was Immediately served on
t the council , after which an adjournment was
taken until next Monday night at 7:30. :

ST. PAUL , May 2. The niipatch this
afternoon will say. If rumor be true and
the object which called Precldont J. J. Hill
to London so hurriedly be not aurcessfully
accomplished , Mr. Hill may then have suffi
cient time on his hands to attend to ( lit
Northern Pacific , with which his name hat
been recently connected. Mr. Hill's control
of the Great Northern comes through the
consolidation of his own and Sir Donald
Smith's Interest In that property. The latter
represents all the Montreal Interest In the
road , Sir Donald has backed Mr. Hill In
bringing about the realization of his trars-
contlnental dreams. As long ns Mr. Hill was
able to keep the support of Sir Donald Smith
he was able to swing the road according to
his Ideas. Once Mr. Hill had been attacked
In that quarter , when the late Allen Manvet
was vice president ot the road , but Hill cime
cut victor. Through the same Inter.st Mr.
Hill Is again attacked and It Is stated that
ho felt the effects so much that .he hurried
off to Europe to endeavor to co'ver before
It is too late. It Is also openly slated that
the Vanderbllts , appreciating the value of
the Great NoitHefn , have secured n hold
upon these Canadian holdings and are pre
paring at the annual meeting to relieve .Mr.
Hill of control of the system. When Mr.
Hill went to New York so hastily he paid a
hurried visit to Montreal , where Sir Donald
Smith resides , and Immediately afterwards
took the steamer abroad. The Vanderbllts
now control the New York Central , Lake
Shore , Michigan Central , Northwestern ,
Omaha and Ulkliorn lines. Their coast
connection Is through an Ironclad agreement
with the Union Pacific. If the Vanderbllts
can secure control of the Great Northern
they will have a line of their own to Pugel
Sound from New York which will Interfere
with the Southern route via the Northern
Pacific. The Great Northern needs money
and can cut no further In pay rolls. Traffic
has reached Its minimum , and hard times
have had their effect so that there Is every
ground for believing that the Vanderbllts , If
It Is true they are seeking control of the line ,
are In n better position to secure their ends
now than they would have been five years ago
or will be ten years hence.

WASHINGTON , May 2. In the course of
a report to the State department on the rail
ways of Egypt , United States Consul General
Pcnfield , at Cairo , asserts that that country ,
in proportion to population , has more rail
road mileage and better bervice than Hun
gary , Austria , Spain or Portugal , and It Is
all In government property with the excep
tion of a few short lines. The roads arc
very profitable , although the Income of gov-
einment lines Is pledged to European credit
ors of the company as a partial consequence
of the prcfllgatc extravagance ot the khcdlve ,
Ismail. Expenses of construction are low ,
owing to the nature of the country , and
working expenses are much below the
European standard as a result of the mod
erate bpeed and cheap motive labor. Ancient
Cairo Is to have a trolley line next year and
Alexandria Is expected to follow suit. Bids
have been made for a trolley line from
Cairo to the pyramids , ten miles , and a
Frenchman has seriously applied for per-
mlsblon to build a funicular railway to the
top of the great pyramid , though this request
has not been considered.

DEVIL'S LAKE , N. D. , May 2. Marshal
Cronln , with twelve deputies armed to the.
teeth , left here today for the Turtle moun
tains. They expect to await the arrival of
troops from Fort Buford before making any
arrests. Major Ralph , the Indian agent at
Fort Totten , accompanied the marshal from
thera , and there may be a clash of authority
between the two. The Indians claim that the
deputies have been trumping p charges
against them for years to get the fees and
mileage.
