On Thursday afternoon J , T. Mclntosh , a gray-haired old man , enjoyed a spirited colloquy quy with tlio members of the County Hoard of Supci visors nnd County Attorney Saunders \\lillo negotiating a sale to the board of n batch of nlno wolf scalps. The members ot the board Indulged In a good deal of dialling and Intimated their belief that the old man was engaged In the work of Importing wolf skins from Wjomlng , Dakota and other western slates v-hcro there Is no bounty cr it Is very small nnd presenting the scalps to the Iowa board omd chiming the large bounty offered here. Events that transpired yester day Droved that the humorous allusions to the origin of the scalps presented by Mc lntosh were ell true and that ho has been an active member of the enterprising band of Importers who have been following the busi ness for many years. Mclntosh was ar- resled and Is now In the custodj' of Sheriff L. M SHIIman of Madison county , who will take him to Wintered for trial on the chat go of having Imported ? SO worth of scalps Into Madison county nnd colle'ctcd the bounty. Last fall when joung Ilaph was discovered to bo In the business of Importing scalps the county authorities leanncd enough to convince them that there was an organized crowd en gaged In the work , and there were reasons for the belief that they were operating all over western nnd northern Iowa. The In formation obtained Uicn led to Inquiry being made In numerous counties and the suspicion beeamo a conviction that every county In the western part of the state had been pajlng largo sums < is bounty on wolves that weio killed In Wjomlng. Many men were sus pected , but none were arrested until the Madison countj officer made the discovery that a colony of the importers hnd invaded that county Tor several dajs a party con sisting of three men and ono woman had been camping on the Coon river. They were living In a tent , and the story they circulated that they were engaged In making a livelihood by following the profession of trappers was generally a edited. Suspicion was first cast upon them when they received n number of consignments from various points In Wjo mlng. About the same titno a largo number of wolf scalps began to bo presented to the countj auditor. TRACKED THEM DOWN. A wolf wus a great rarity In the country and the largo number of scalps excited coti- s'ldcr.ablo discussion. In the fore part of last week another consignment came from Wjo mlng. It remained In ( tie express ofllco near a Etovo for tevcral dajs and its presence be gan to bo noticeable by a disagreeable odor. The box wus called for bj Mclntosh and It vvus delivered to him. He was followed to his camp on the Coon river arU the two men with him wcro recognized as the persons who collected bounty for scalps presented at the auditor's ofllco a few dajs before. Mclnlosh wn'i also recognized as the third person ' .ho delivered scalps and eollected money. Ifao Investigating partj quietly returned to town aril warpjnta wcro sworn out for the arrest of the crowd. They were not berved until the next dujMclutash had In the meantime returned to Council Bluffs , accompanied by the ivonrin. The two lemalulog men were placed under arrest and their tent searched. The search resulted in the discovery of fifty-eight wolf ecalps , mnnj of them still in the orig inal packages lo which they .hud . been shipped by express. The men were placed um'er ? r- rest and lodged In the county Jail ot Winter- set. They gave the names of Thomas Jeffer son and Arthur Grosvenor , and both claimed to llvo In Omaha. The men tiad collected tlio bounty on sixteen scalps at $5 a scalp. In quiry developed the fact that the nun had delivered on equal number of scalps ut Da Soto. the countv scat of Dallas county , and fuithcr Inquiry at the auditors' oinccs In all counties north and wcstsboncd that the same pirtlea had presented a. varying number ot scalps aud collected two bounties. la nearly all of the counties express packages had been received bj the meii , all coming from Wyo ming. The Madison county Information charges Melutosh and the others with obtaining money under false pretense ? , aiU Sheriff SI1I1- man followed him to Council llluffs. He reached hero Sunday evening and with the assistance of the Council Bluffs ofllcers traced Main let ; h to Omaha. Ho was found at the former homo of the Grosvenors on Nlio-oenth street. Olrs. Grosvenor was also taken into custody and brought to this side , both con tenting to come without a requisition. Tlicro was no warrant for the woman and she vvaa permitted to go free , but expressed her de- slro to return to her husbanj. The worn' n was sent to a hotel acid Mclntosh was taken to the county Jail for the night. They will leave on the early train this morning for Wintcrset. Tlio Investigations have not been discontinued and will probably be pushed Into W > omlng and Dikota and the swindlers at tint end of tbo line captured and punished. Itinl INInlr TriiiixfrrN.

Try lo Apportion Money for Hie Vnrl- oiis Cl < 3 rnnils. The special meeting of Hie council ap pointed at the last meeting to consider the matter and decide upon the amount of money that is to be apprcprlateJ for the various clly funds for use during the fiscal jear which will commence April 1 met in the city buildIng - Ing last night and spent an hour In discus sion. The commltteo Is composed of Alder men Pace , Sayles and Atkins and by rc&olu- tlon the council added Major Carson and City Attorney Hazelton. Tiie discussion last even ing related chiefly to the new law which re quires this procedure. Tncre are several In- 'congrultlcs ' in It which the committee de cided to endeavor to have corrected and will ask Senator Pufcey arU the Pottawattamlc representatives to try to have some modifica tions of the law made by the legislature this winter. The new law requires the council at the beginning of each fiscal year to make estimates of the amount of money that will bo required for expenditure in each fund dur ing the jcar. The law allows 90 per cent of the anticipated 'Income for the year to bo ap propriated for use in all cf the funds , but when the appropriation Is once made it can not bo changed during the year , and not a dollar In auy fund oin be expendeJ beyond the amount appropriated. Nor can a balance In any fund be w Ithdravv n and used to fill out a shortage in another. The income that ds giving the most trouble Is the amount de rived from the police fund. This comes from . fines and licenses , the bulk of It from the saloon licenses Owing to Uio peculiar condi tion in which the paloon keepers are now placed it Is Impossible to tell how many of them will ctntlnuo In business throughout the jcar. The aldermen considered the plan last night of Issuing warrants against this fund In the old way. Whether such action would bo legal remains to bo determined by further discussion and inquiry. The modlllca- tious of the law that will bo asked for will chiefly rc'ato ' to the disposition of this fund. The committee will hold frequent meetings between the present and April 1 and no action will bo taken except after the most caieful consldcrattcu and Inquiry. o 'Water itl u IIoHpltnl.
