The petition In the county supcrlntenJcnt mandamus case was not completed until late last evening , Just a few minutes too late to * permit filing. It will be filed this morning In the superior court nnd will come up to day The members of thu county board are Just as anxious as the two candidates and their friends to have tbr > matter settled and will give all of the assistance possible In hastening the hearing. There was a report curtent around the court house yesterday afternoon that George Cooper , the republican election Judge In the Second precinct of the Sixth ward , whose failure to sign the election returns was one of the chief reasons for the rejection ot tiio count by the .board , had stated tbat he had not neglected , but hid rclused to sign the poll book for the icason that he know the retutns were wrong and because the election had been Illegally conducted all day. It was Impossible to find 'Mr. Cooper yesterday afternoon to verify this statement , but the men who know him and Hie attorneys for Prof Sawyer warmly deny this story and point to the affidavit made by Cooper and the other judges and clerks and assert their be lief that he would not deliberately commit perjury , as ho would have doue If this story was ttue. The petition Is very lengthy and goes fully Into tl'c general election laws of the state anJ the supreme court opinion In slmllat crscs After reciting all of the facts con nected with the election in the precinct and setting out the fact that Hugh W iSawyerand W S Paulson were the duly accredited can didates on the democratic and republican tickets for the office of county superintendent of bdmolb , and that of all the votes cast in the county Sawyer received 4,078 votes and Paulson 1,673 , and that the canvassing board wrongfully refused to count the vote as re turned by the competent officers in the elec tion precinct named , and by ho doing his wrongfully made a return of the whole vote showing the election of Paulson Instead of Sawyer , the petition adds Th it said rc-fii = il and neglect to so count sild vo o and canvass said returns i.vas mmle and done bv slid defendant boird over the protest and In spite of the demnnds then nnd there- made by thU plaintiff , tint this plaintiff personally appeared before this bo.iiil at a time when they were eontetn- p'atlng 'he matter of leeclvlng or rejecting the votes cast In said precinct , and can vassing the icturns as certified ftom said pteclnet , and fien and there made a formal demand upon s lid defendant board of cin- vasseid that they conn , tabulitc and nb- sttutt the vote of b lid Second precinct ac cording to and In pursuince of the retuins nude and dellvetcd to the audltoi by the election boird of nld Second precinct ah aforesaid , which ild dem mil was ihen and theit refused by said defendant boird of canvassers WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED Th.it had said defendants sitting as the boird of canvahbcis .is afoiesild done and perform ! d th lr whole and olllclal duty , they would have opened , received can vassed nnd counted -Mid returns ftom bald Second precinct ; would have tabulated the same as provided by law ; would have cred- i cd the add Hugh W. Sivvver with twenty- seven votes 113 shown byaid returns , W. S. Paulson with six votes as shown by bald ie- turns and Ch ipmanwith three votes ns shown by said tetuins , for the aforesild olllce of county superintendent of public schools In nnd for Pottawattamle county , i Iowa , for the term commencing- January 3 , 1S9S , and ending December 31 , 1903 Tint lvlth such credits and counts made and given by said defendant board to b ild can didates respectively this plaintiff would have been credited. In all , with 4 C7S votes , the sjld Paulson 1,073 votes and the said Chipman vith 14G votes for said olllce of county superintendent as aforesaid ; und that by reason of such misconduct on the p.irt of said defendant bo ird and of their failure , neglect and refusal to do and per form their duty as provided by law , and by icibon of their failure , neglect and refusil I to open , receKc and canvass said leturns from said Second precinct of snld Six h I ward of bald city , and to count and credit the vote theieof , this plaintiff was cheated ' and defrauded out of the tv % only-seven i votes from said pieclnct that should have been crccli ed in hlb total aggregate num ber of votes cast In Bald county at said election for said olllce , and that said de fendant board , by such fraudulent failure , neglect nnd refusal to peiform netr said duty , thereby i educed the aggregate num ber of votes to be credited 10 this pHlntift from 4 GTS to 1,631 , and reduced the aggre gate number of votes to bo credited to the bald W. S Paulson from 4 G71 to 4.CG7 and to the Eald Chapman fiom 14G votes to 14J votes Plaintiff further states that said defend ant board so bitting as a board of can vassers have by said falbe and fraudulent count and canvass unlawfully and fraudu lently declared mild W S Paul son elected to said ofllco of conty superintendent of schools for the ensuing term as aforeHald. That pi ilntlff Is credibly Informed and be lieves and therefore charges the fact to be that said defendants have Issued a certifi cate of election to raid office to the said W. S. Paulson , said certificate being based I upon said faults and fraudulent count and canvass of votes aforesaid , and that by reason the-reof they have unliivv fully and unjustly deprived this plaintiff of said of llco and of his rights to be declared elected thereto , and of reaping the benefits there of foi tlu > teim to which ho has been In law and In fact elected The petition ends by the assertion that the defendant board has Issued a certificate of election to Paulson upon the fraudulent count , and U osks th\a \ certificate to bo annulled and the beard compelled to make a recount of Hie ballots that will show the counting of all of the votes cast In the second precinct of the Sixth ward , which will give Sawyer a majority of eight votes on the face of the of ficial returns , If the mandamus Is granted and the board makes the correction It Is Intimated that the case will not bo finished , for the attorneys of Prof. Paulson arc satisfied that In a con test they can beat the count and show a clear majority for Hie present superintendent. Over n MmPIIIUC , The time of the district court has been taken up moro or less for the last three days with a line fence controversy between two farmers , Smith and Evans , llvlcig a few miles northeast of the city. The amount Involved was the value of a narrow strip of land acrofs a forty-acre tract. At ono end the strip was admitted to bo forty feet wide by all of the patties in the contro versy , but there was a serious dispute as to whether the other end was twenty feet wide or came to a point , Less than cmu- tnmrter of an acre llcv , within the disputed borders and Us value Is less than $7 In the neighborhood there has recently oc curred a school house fight which has greatly stirred up the community and 11 so happened that Smith and Hvana were prom inent In the opposing factions , Naturally they had many friends who were anxious to aesUt the'in by giving evidence In the fence case and the consequence vvas that It required three days to hear the testimony After the case was submitted It required Judge Green Just two and one-half minutes to reach a conclusion. He rendered Judg ment for the plaintiff , The costs will amount to almost as much as the value of cither ot the farma , < : iol.iI'arllallj The liond of Receiver Chase of the Globe Publishing comi ny vvas not filed until yesterday afternoon , and the doors of the establishment were not opened In itlmo to do any business.

The regular weekly meeting of the Council Bluffs Transmltdlsslppl Kxposltlon associa tion InHt night was attended by the largest number of the members who have been pres ent at any of the recent gatherings of the association. The question of asking the city and county ( o make appropriations for the city and county exhibit was talked over at length. I. M. Trcjnor brought up the question of the power of the city council and the Hoard of Supervisors to make such an appropria tion. He doubted If such power existed City Attorney Hnzclton was present and stated positively that no such power was vested In the city council by the charter of the city. He believed that the city or county could only do so by a special act of thu legislature. Senator N. M. Puscy paid there was no doubt about the matter , and that neither the city nor the county had such power , but ho believed that the legislature could he Induced to pnpn such an act. He doubted , however , If It could be made to apply to Pottawattamlo county only , for such an act would bo special legislation. Ho believed that It would bo much easier to pass such a bill than It would bo to get one large appropriation from the state , and ho also thought that many of the counties besides tht enc would be anxious to make Individual exhibits Ho promised to tiso his Influence toward getting such an act passed. The discussion of the subject of an appro priation brought up another matter which the association took up It was called up by the Introduction of this resolution by W. II. Lvnchard : Resolved , Thnt It Is the sense of this com- mlttoo thnt the management of the Trans- inlsslrslppi Exposition Is pursuing a policy that H antagonistic to the success of the enterprise by insisting upon charging the Iowa commissioners J" > ,000 , or nny sum whatever , for a site for fnc state , building proposed to bo erected by the Iowa people. Insistence upon sucli n ch.irgs will , we be lieve , seriously Interfere with the prospect of seeming1 the large appropriation for a state building deslrid by all Hesolvcd , That we request the exposition management to consider this nritter with n vlovv of preventing the exaction of tills un popular charge. It was the first Intimation that Senator Puscy had recclveJ that the exposition man agement had decided to make Iowa pay for the ground upon which it proposed to erect a $3" , 000 building for the purpose of main taining a costly exhibit , and he was heartily In favor of the passage of the lebolutlon. In discussing the matter he made the signif icant remark that If the management had determined upon such a course he would say without hesitation that It would relieve the Pottawattamle delegation cf all future labor In the effort to procure any sort of an appropriation from the legislature. There were several seconds to the motion to adopt the resolution and It carried without dis sent At the suggestion of one of the mem bers a committee was appointed to present the resolution to the management and secure a reconsideration of the determination to exact the charge for a building site. The committee selected consists of Senator Pusey , I. M. Troy nor and WlU'am iMoore The } were Instructed to present the matter to the muiagement at the earliest pcsslble moment and get the favorable reply that is anticipated Jlr. Treynor stated that Secre tary Chase of the Iowa commission liad In formed him that he had looked up the mat ter and had discovered that no charge had been made at any of the other expositions for bites for state buildings. At the Colum bian fair Iowa was not enl > given a free building site , but was given the use of Inc line park building without charge. The committee appointed at a previous meeting to decide upon the style of exposi tion button to bo adopted for the purpose of securing money for the erection of the big tepee presented several hundred designs and specimens andi Introduced a representative of one of the largest emblem button factories In the world. The task of selecting the most desirable of the lot was too much for the en tire executive committee and a special com mittee , consisting of I. 01. Treytior , Dr. Hanchett , William Moore and Secretary Judson , was appointed to conclude the buai- ness and to have full power to act la the matter. The committee appointed to look after the work of securing the meeting of the Na tional Educational association at Omaha next year reported through Its chairman , Prof. Sawyer , that a large amount of printed mat ter had been , sent out all over the state , and an effort was being made to secure a mem- beiEhlp of several thousand among 'the ' Iowa teachers , whose Influence would all be directed toward bringing the next national meeting to Omaha. 300 tons tiay for sale , $2 50 per ton , in stack near Crescent.

The Board of County Supervisors yester day spent the greater part of the day In the work of reading , examining and allowing the bills that have been presented agxlnst the county since the last meeting It was expected that the wolf scalp hills would bo ' reached and discussed , but these will probably - , ably como up today with the Justices' fees and both will be given careful consideration. j The fee bills presented by the Justices all I over the county have alwajs been the cause | for plenty of objections and aa the board at i all recent iic.st.lons hah hhown a disposition to cut down the bills It Is expected that there will bo lees trouble this time In de- 1 termlnlng the amount that each Justice is i entitled to. A number of the bills of Judges 'and ' clerks of election were presented and j the board was willing to allow them , but | was prevented by a resolution adopted last , January deferring this action until the Jan- 1 uary meeting. It was the opinion of many of the members that this delay was unneces sary and waa needlcbsly keeping the election officers from receiving the money they had so well earned. At the January meeting this year a resolution will bo adopted requir ing thcbo bills to bo picscnted in time for allowance at the November meeting. Considerable difference wet ; found In the bills presented by the various township 'clerks ' for theli services during the jear. ISomo of them were as law an $17.7 ! > and oth- ' ere reached close to J50 The board Is anxious I to Inquire Into the matter and discover why ono man's bervlccs were so much more val- | imblo to his fellow citizens than another's 'when ' all had substantially the same duties I to pel form. The township clerk of Norwalk cent In no hill at all , but gave a circumspect I and apparently honest btatcment of the time ho had given the county and the board flg- | ured out his claim with as much liberality as could bo shown , i The board found some reason to criticise i the bills presented by the township roud I supervisors. The general average was about $50 , which has heretofore been paid out of the general tounty road fund , Hereafter i this fund will all be expended by practical roadmakers under the supervision of the 1 board , and much moro substantial benefit j will be deilvcd from It than 1ms ever yet occurred. In the line of good road-mailing ] James Evans presented a special bill for cutting down and grading a hill on the , Crescent City read , The work was not done properly under the supervision of the board , \ | but It was well done and very much needed , i The matter was referred to Supervisors I Baker and Hanson to fix up so that Mr. Evans could bo legally paid for his work. In the early days of Council Itluffs the 1 titles to tlio property In a large portion cf the city got Into such a tangle that an act of congress was required to etralghten them out. This act gave the county Judge the power to grant deeds to the holders of prop erty In the original town plat , and In this plat all of the tlth's run back to these deeds A reminiscence of this came before the board In a ( letltlon from W , H. Robinson , stating that his original deed to lot 79 , original plat , hod been lost or destrojed The board In structed the auditor to give him a quit claim deed from the county , which In reality bus been holding the title to his property all of these years.
