Five or six young men of Council Bluffs
paid a largo sized luck bill yesterday mornIng -
Ing under circumstances they are trying
Jiard to keep from being made public. Dut
a dozen or two bright young women luve
obtained all the facts and secrecy Is no
longer among tbo possibilities. On Tuesday
James II. Harrington , one of the attaches
of the Crelghton theater , was married to
Miss Helen Lacy , daughter of ex-Alderman
Lacy. Mr. Harrington icturned to his work
In Omalm and was not expected homo until
after the close ot tlio theater , but It hap
pened that he was fortunate enough to be
able to get away early In the evening , and
reached home by 9 o'clock. The young men
arranged to give him n reception that would
inako the wedding night still more memor
able. The plan was to meet him at the
street car when ho alighted , conduct him
to a hack In waiting , which was to be filled
Vvith half a docn of his stalwart friends In
\vhltccap masks and attire , and entertain him
In various ways until morning. They ex
pected him to return on the 11 o'clock motor ,
and when It reached the juncture of Pearl
and Main streets , where he was expected
to get off , they were there with their hack ,
masks and a lot of Instruments of venge
ance that looked terrible and gruesome In
the dim light. They waited until the last
motor came over , about 2 o'clock In the
morning , and almost froze to death. In the
meanwhile Harrington was at the homo of
nln , bride , enjoying the society of a brilliant
< ; rftv > d ot friends and a sumptuous wedding
supper. ' The whit-caps did not learn the
true stnto of affairs until long after the
lights were out and the family had retired

' Siinnttrr Sovereignty.
I. . P. Judson commenced a suit In eject
ment In VIen's court yesterday In which a
man named C. C. Carter was made defend
ant. Judson owns several thousand acres
of valuable lands near the mouth of the
Doyer river , three miles from Crescent City ,
In the Missouri river bottoms. Three days
ago Carter went on the lands and hastily
elected a log house , Into which ho moved
his wife and baby before the doors and windows
dews were In. Ho purposed to hold 160 acres
of the land upon the theory that It was all
the product of evulsion and not accretion ,
an.l that It laid In Nebraska , Instead of Iowa ,
arid that the only trim title , laid In the
federal government , Instead of L. P. Judson.
Jrdtou took prompt steps to protect his
rights and the suit was started. It promises
to bo one of the most hotly contested land
cases that have comr > up for several years.
Many Important law points are Involved , and
seme of the best legal talent In the city has
been retained on both sides to help solve the
problems Involved , The amount at stake Is
several thousands dollars In the present case ,
and there arc at least 10,000 acres of the
same kind of lands subject to the game con
ditions.

In the police court yesterday morning
Judge McGee was hearing the charge of
fighting mndo against L. M. Neally and
Clarence F.'elds , two 'negro boys , who got
Into a quarrel In the gallery of the New
Dohany theater Tuesday night. Ono of the
witnesses was a boy named I.d Roads. When
the judge asked him to tell what he knew
about It he shoved hs ! hands Into his pocket
up to the elbows , rolled a big quid of tobacco
around In his mouth until It assumed the
proportions of a small base ball and swelled
out his cheek Ilko a tumor , and coolly In
formed the court that ho didn't "know' '
nawthln , " and If ho did ho "wouldn't glvo
away a pal , " but If tlio court Insisted he
would "Just tell a. . pack of lies on' nothln'

to give proper testimony were unavailing , unj
as a last resort tlio boy was sent to jail until
tills morning on a dirt of bread and water.

The republican city convention , held at
the court house yesterday afternoon , was
largely attended , there being no breaks in
the ranlts of tlio delegates elected Inst Satur
day night , and an exceptionally large repre
sentation of republicans In the lobby to
\\ntcli the making of the city ticket. The
utmost bnrmony prevailed , and \\hlle , ulth
one exception , there was a lively contest on
e\ery nomination , there wns an absence of
any apparent soreness or feeling among the
candidate * ; and tlu-lr champions.
It was but a few minutes after 2 o'clock
when the convention was called to order by
Chairman Turner of the city central commit
tee , and C. M. Harl was named by acclama
tion for temporary chairman. Mr. Harl
briefly addressed the convention and urged
the convention to work together In harmony
for the nomination ot a ticket that would
be elected and give the city a clean , economic
and bulneJllke administration of municipal
affairs.V. . C. Hendrlcks was made tem
porary Hocretary of the convention.
T. J. Rvans offered a motion that the con-
vcntlcn proceed by formal ballot to nominate
candidates for various offices.
A. N. Lund amended that the ballot be an
Informal one , and the roll was called. The
motion to nominate by Informal ballot was
carried , although a change of five votes In
one of the Second ward precincts placed the
total vote against the amendment , but the
secretary and chairman called It the other
way , and It went.

The work of the committees was brief nnd
eon accomplished. The committee on cre-
Jentlals reported no contests and seated the
lelegatlons having the proper primary cre-
lentlals. The committee on permanent or-
janlzatlon reported In favor of Mr. Harl for
permanent chairman with William Arnd as
eeretary and E. S. Allen as assistant sec
retary. Both reports were adopted.
The committee on resolutions prejcnted the

without a dissenting1 voice :

CARSON FROM POST TO WIRE.
That cleared the way for the real contest
of the convention and the call was made for
an Informal ballot for a candidate for mayor.
The roll call developed an unexpected
strength for Judge Carson and ho received
enough votes to nominate him. The vote
was- Cleaver 13 , Carson 27 , Metcalf 12 , nnd
Jameson 1.
It was expected that there would be a
radical switch on the first formal ballot , hut
there was not. Carson lost two votes ,
Cleaver gained three , Metcalf held his origi
nal dozen and Jamc on dropped out. On the
second formal ballot Carson had twenty-
three and Metcalf and Cleaver each fifteen.
The vote by wards and precincts on that bal
lot was us follows :
In iholce , t nty.tf\tn.
There as no marked change In the suc
ceeding ballots until the seventh formal
and then the flrs't precinct of the Klrst ward ,
which had been casting four votes for Clea
ver , changed to Carson and that was the
signal for a general change all along the
I'ne. When the total was made It was
found that Carson had received 39 votes ,
Cleaver 6 and Metcalf 8. Judge Carson'H
nomination was then made unanimous , and
ho HUP called before the convention nnd
br't'lly thanked the dele-gates , and promised
to give all his time and his be.t efforts to the
duties ot his cilice If he were elected ,

formal ballot made but 1'ttle ' change and
then , for six ballots every candidate got
clcse , but none of them quite near enough
to get Iho nomination. Mr , Wheeler
leHcbi-d the 25mark and Mr. Snyder was ! n

Former round 1 lIlulTH Mun.
Word has ben received from Mount
Sterling , la. , of a tragedy ( n which two
former Council Bluffs men figured , one. as a
murderer , and the other as a victim. For
a'number of year prior' to January 1 , 1895 ,
Isaac Klrby lived.In . thlsi city and was em
ployed as a salesman and mechanical expert
for Russell & Co. He was a married man
and had a family living on Fifth avenue ,
near the Northwestern tracks. Klrby was
a first-class salesman and mechanic , but had
a villainous temper , and his employers found
It very difficult to get along with him. He
was quarrelsome In the extreme , and finally
on January 1 , a year ago , was dismissed by
Manager Clark. He made some threats nt
the time , but no attention v.-as paid to him
and ho left the city.
Nothing was heard directly of Klrby since
bo left Council Bluffs until a short time ago
H. M. Smith , a nurseryman living at Mount
Sterling , wrote to Mr. Clark making Inquiries
concerning him. Mr. Smith said that Klrby
had applied to him for work , but Ire was
afraid to employ the man , as ho seemed to
be Impudent and too familiar with people on
alight acquaintance. Mr. Smith bad formerly
lived In Council Bluffs , and had been In the
nurs-ry business here. Mr , Clark answered
the letter and refused to give Klrby a recom
mendation. That started a row between
Smith and Klrby , and It culminated In a
meeting at the Mount Sterling postofflce last
Friday , when Klrby drew a revolver and shot
Smith , killing htm Instantly.
Klrby Is In jail at Mount Sterling awaiting
trail on the charge ot murder.

On Sunday night the drug store of Allcs-
house & Harrison was entered and goodt *
jaken to the amount of about $50. Entrance
was effected Into the store through a broken
front window , which the burglars am ashed
In an artistic manner without attracting
attention. Thtlr booty consisted of n lot of
watch chains , bleevo buttons , collar buttons
and homo watches , besides a box or two of
cigars , The Ccuncll Bluffs police depart
ment was notified and when an officer picked
up a tramp yesterday begging on the Directs ,
who had a en , II consignment of chains and
buttons In his pockets , there were good rea
sons for believing that he was wanted at
Pacific Junction. The drug store firm was
notified and yesterday afternoon Mr , P. 0.
Alleshouso came to the city. The Jewelry
found In HIP pon-esnlon of the tramp was
carefully examined , but did not prove to be
the stolen property , .
The charge on the police blotter watt
changed from burglary to vagrancy and \VI1-
Hani ! ) will be held for a few days. He has
told several contradictory stories before and
after his arrest , twice admitting that ho had
passed through Pacific Junction to his way
to Council Dluffs. He had $2.25 In cash In
addition to jho new jewelry and a bath houye
ticket ficni the government free bath house
at Hot Springs , Ark , , bearing the name of
John Williams. The ticket was still good
for fix baths. Williams said ho had a part
ner whom ho was to meet In Omaha last
night , The jewelry found In his possession
was all new.

The second meeting of the Retail Mer
chants' a.scclatlon of Council Bluffs was held
In the council chamber of the city building
last night , with J. ll. Bell In the chair. The
minutes of the last meeting were read and
apploved , arid the reports of the committees
called for. The executive committee , to
which the work of getting up n constitution
and by-laws had beSn delegated , was not
ready to report , for the season that A. White-
law , the chairman , had been called out of
the ctly. J. C. DeHaven reported that the
Committee had held ono meeting and par
tially completed Its work , but was not ready
to make Its report.
Speeches were made by several members
of the association upon Its work , tin objects
and Its possibilities. W. II. Bradley moved
that the chair appoint a committee of three
to solicit membership , and the chair ap
pointed Bradley , Frank Peterson and H. N.
151 IK *
H. A. Cole suggested that one thing that
the association could accomplish without
much trouble way the Investigation of the
excellent plan followed by Jhe merchants of
Hod Oak several year * ago , when corn was
selling at as low n price as at the present time.
The lied Oak men , he said , got togsther
and created a homo mnrkql for all of the
ccrn raised In a large portion of Montgomery
county. He made a motion that the chair
appoint a committee of three to make this
Investigation. The motion prevailed , nnd H.
A. Color J. Zoller and Mr. Johnson were
named.
LITTLE HOME MARKET NOW.
Mr. Gilbert referred to the necessity for
a better home market. At the present time
there was scarcely anything of the kind here ,
when a few years ago 200 or 300 loads ot corn
and thousands of bushels of wheat and oats
found a ready sale every day In the week.
Mr. Ucllavcn spoke of the elevators at Ne-
ola. Weston , nnd other small vlllace ? . wh'ch '
afforded a market for all the grain raised In
a larce portion of the county , and where
the farmers could market quickly. Here
there was no market beyond the lUtlpEae _ !
for stuff aiound the city .scales. Farmers
would bring In a load of corn and have to
wait all day for a buyer. He thought there
should be an effort made by the merchants
to get foreign capital Interested In the
matter nnd secure the erection < ? I elevators
easily accessible , where th.c ; .farmers could
drive up and unload and get iaway w'thout
waiting. Mr. Bradley thpught. there was
abundant capital In the city igrtpush through
such an enterprise , and that lt'fould be un
necessary to offer any extra , Inducements In
the way of rebates of tajfes , Bonuses , etc.
The merchants should get JQgetjier and pro
vide a market , and pay a.HtHe \ more than
other towns were payingifoptthe , farmers'
products. What they wouli ] lose In that
way would be more than mjade'VP by the In
crease of business. 4 ,
Charley Beno thought that one
of the secrets of , | Council Bluffs'
poor markets was thpi bad coun
try r.ads. A farmer tqd ) him the other
day that , the changes nmdy-ij | the roads dur
ing the lasti few yeari had added ten mllc
to the distance he had to , 'rnvel to , reach
the town , and that the mndfi-Hgadlng , Into

valuable lands the road- had been run
through the worst places possible and oven
the worst hllla. Ho thought the roads should
bo shortened and the hllla' cut down as a
"first step' toward Inducing the farmers to

Cole moved that a committee of five be ap
