The hearing of the charges preferred
against T. C. Jackson , overseer of the poor
for Kane township , before the county super
visors yesterday , attracted considerable at
tention , nnd when the board convened In
the morning the room was well filled with
Interested persons and spectators. The
hearing failed to develop anything of a
sensational or oven uerlous nature and the
Investigation throughout , except for the oc
casional sparring of the attorneys , proved a
decidedly tame affair and after hearing all
of the evidence , the case was taken under
advisement. The complainants who had filed
the charges with the board were repre
sented by Attorneys L. W. HOBS and Spencer
Smith , whllo Overseer Jackson's Interests
were looked after by Attorney John Llndt.
Most of the morning session was taken up
by the attorneys on discussions as to the
manner In which the Investigation should bo
pursued. In consequence only three wit
nesses , Dr. F. 8. Thomas , Chlof of Police F.
A. Blxby and Dr. T. B. Lacey , city physi
cian , were examined. At the afternoon ses
sion Mrs. nycrson , superintendent of the
Woman's Christian Association hospital , and
Mrs. O. H. Lucas , president of the associa
tion , wcro the only two witnesses examined.
In his opening address to the board , Spen
cer Smith called attention > to the particular
charges filed against Overseer Jackson ,
which he urged showed that Jackson did not
exercise a wise discretion In the discharge
of his duties , and that as h Is a creature
of the board and therefore subject to the
board , the supervisors should see to It that
his duties be so defined and restricted that
In future the acts complained of will not
occur ag ln. He urged that the want of dis
cretion shown by Jackson was such as to
Justify the board In no longer retaining htm
In the position of overseer of the poor , con
tending that Jackson has shown a lamenta
ble lack of discretion In dealing with emerg
ency cases and Insisting that the county
tihould care for such cases unless the board
decides that the doors of the hospital are
to bo closed against all unfortunates whoso
needs demand prompt and Immediate at
tention until after such time as the over
seer has investigated 'and passed on the
case. This he said It not humanity and
contrary to the methods adopted In other
large cities. In support of the charge that
Jackson acted 1n an arbitrary manner in
connection with emergency cases taken to
the local hospitals. Mr. Smith Introduced
in evidence a letter from Jackson written
last July to the superintendent ot the
Woman's Christian Association hospital.
This letter was as follows :
Mrs. Ryerson : Please receive no one un
less vouched for by our county physician
or mysolf. If city physician sends patients
you must hold city for pay unless other
wise ordered. T. C. JACKSON.
Overseer "of " the Poor for Kane Township.
This letter brought Attorney Llndt to his
feet and ho entered a protest against it be
ing accepted in evidence. He contended that
the letter was written In a kind , gentle and
courteous way nnd that the charges filed
were simply "tomfoolery" nnd the board
ought not for a moment to pay any atten
tion to them. As to the beard dismissing
Jackson from the position of overseer , It
could not If It wanted to do so. Jackson
had been appointed for one year and even
If ho was guilty of all the crimes In the
calendar the hoard had no authority to dis
charge him.
Continuing , Mr. Llndt said Jackson had
saved the county thousands of dollars and
the reason there were complaints against
him was because ho had practiced the strict
est economy in the expenditure of the tax
payers' money and would not permit the po
lice authorities to dictate to him how to
run his ofTlce.
Later during the hearing Mr. Smith re
tracted his statement that the discharge of
Jackson was nsked for and stated that the
desire of the complainants was that the
board would more clearly define the duties
of the overseer In regard to the emergency
cases so that in the future there would bo
none of this friction between the city and
county authorities.
On behalf of Overseer Jackson a resolu
tion adopted by the board at Its meeting
last September was Introduced as tending
to show that In regard to the emergency
cases In which his conduct had been crit
icised he had no discretion.
The evidence of Drs. Thomas and Lacey
and Chief of Police Blxby was mainly di
rected to emergency cases and the lack of
proper provision and responsibility for the
prompt attention which they demanded.
The statements of these witnesses wcro fre
quently Interrupted by Jackson's attorney ,
who Insisted that the hearing should be car
ried out as If In a law court and that he
should be permitted to make technical ob
jections when ho deemed It necessary. Chief
of Police Blxby disclaimed any pertonal
feeling In the matter , but Insisted that some
better provision should bo made for the care
of emergency cases. There are no "city"
cases he said , as the poor fund is derived
from taxation all over the city as well as
the county it Is the county's duty to care for
such emergency cases as arise within the
city whether the unfortunate patients are
transients or residents.
Dr. Lacey was more emphatic In his state
ments as to the behavior of Overseer Jack
son than any of the other witnesses. Ho
testified that as a surgeon , In emergency
cases , ho had not felt It right to watt upon
a technicality and on every occasion had
at once sent the Injured persons to a hospi
tal nnd had then notified the overseer and
requested him to care for the cases. The
treatment , however , that he had received
from Jackson had been such that he had
made up his mind not to have anything
more to do with him. On one occasion
Jackson had Insultingly told him "ho need
not como down there" ( meaning the over
seer's office ) to tell him his business. Oc
. I another occasion when he bad refused U
have anything to do with the patient h <
bad told htm ( Dr. Lacey ) that ho ought tc
take the man to his house If he wanted fain
to be cared for.
During Chief Blxby's testimony he re
ferred to one emergency where a man wh (
was practically bleeding to death had beet
kept waiting for two hours and twenty mln >
utes before either the county physician's 01
I overseer's permission could bo got to taki
ilra to a hospital.
The testimony of Mrs. Ryerson , the su
pertntendent of the hospital , was to thi
effect that while Jackson had never bcei
Insulting In his manner toward her his con
duct to the patients when he called to se <
them bad been far from right. She cltcx
Instances In which after Jackson's visit tin
n J patients bad become hysterical and had i
" Telapue after bis inquisitorial visits. Shi
stated that In all her varied experience li
hospital work In many ot the largo clttea .
this was the only place where n man holdIng - '
Ing Jackson's position was permitted to visit
and cross-question patients , no matter how
desperately HI they might be.
Mrs , Lucas' evidence was mainly on the
line to show that tbo relations between the
hospital management and the overseer ot
the poor were not such as they ought to he
and that his manner In dealing with cases
brought to the hospital was arbitrary ami
In many Instances opposed to every sense of
humanity.

The question of whether the city council
had the authority to grant the Fort Dodge &
Omaha railroad n right of way through Lake
View park Is still agitating the minds ot
the municipal authorities. Moro espeolnlly
as the opinion has been advanced by many
that such authority Is vested under the laws
of the state exclusively in the park com
missioners. This Is the view maintained by
Gilbert Brothers , the Ice dealers , who have a
lease of the Ice privileges in the park for
a term of ten years. This lease was granted
to them by the Board of Pork Commission
ers May 21 , 1805 , they In return for the Ice
privileges paying $100 per annum nnd $5 per
month townrds the salary of the park police
man. The lease gives them the right to lay
down a sldo track along the cast side of the
lake , and they by Its terms were compelled
to excavate eight acres to make an artificial
lake , which they did. The right of way
granted the Fort Dodge & Omaha road , they
claim , will seriously affect their interests ,
and It Is said they are preparing to take
the matter Into court. Oilbert Brothers eay
they have already spent several thousands of
dollars In Improvements at the lake and
that they contemplated further increasing
their plant so as to handle 320,000 tons of
Ice per annum. The right of way granted
the railroad company crosses the lake and
will , they claim , seriously Interfere with
the building of a chute which they proposed
erecting In the near future.
The opinion of several lendfng members
of the bar Is that the city council ex
ceeded Its right In granting permission to
the Fort Dodge & Omaha road to lay Its
tracks through the park and that the proper
course would have been to let the railroad
company condemn a right of way as pro
vided by the law. Under condemnation pro
ceedings the railroad company would have
been compelled to pay certain damages for
such a right ot way , but as it now stands it
the city had the authority to grant the right
of way as It did , the city has practically
waived Its right to any damages.
The park In question was acquired by the
city , partly by purchase from W. S. Mayno
and A. S. Hnzelton , and partly from the
United States. The deed from the United
States to the city shows that that portion
was conveyed to the city authorities , but it
is questioned whether that gives the city
council the right under the state law to
grant any right of way through It , euch giv
ing of a right of way being virtually deed
ing away such portion of the park.
The records in the county recorder's offlco
show that at the second session of the forty-
sixth congress in 1880 an act was passed
deeding to the city a portion ot the present
park. The act was as follows :
"An act to grant to the corporate authori
ties of the city of Council Blurts , Iowa , for
the public use a certain lake or bayou sit
uated near said city.
"Bo It enacted by the senate and house
of representatives of the United States of
American in congress assembled , that there
shall bo and Is hereby conveyed to the
corporate authorities of the city of Council
Bluffs In the state of Iowa and their suc
cessors in office the title of the United
States to the meandered lake situated In sec
tions 11 , 13 , 14 , IE , 22 and 23 , in township
5 north , range 44 west , of the fifth prin-
Ipal meridian of Iowa , upon the express
ondltlons that the premises shall bo held
'or public use , resort and recreation , shall
time but leases not
> e Inalienable for all ,
jxcccdlngs ten years may bo granted for
portions of said premises , all Incomes de
rived from cases ol privileges to be ex
pended In the preservation and Improve
ment ot the property or the roads leading
thereto , the premises to bo managed by the
said corporate authorities or such commls-
loners as they may elect and who shall
ecelvo no compensation for their services. "
This act was approved Juno 9 , 1880. Judge
Duncombe , president of the Fort Dodge &
Omaha railway , when before the city couu-
that the park belongs
: ll , took the position
longs to the city nnd that therefore the
city and not the park commissioners had
the legal right to grant the prlvlleg * of
crossing the park.

Richard A. Bada , the farmer living near

atlllcted with lumpy-Jaw , had a hearing be
fore Justice Ferrier yesterday afternoon.
The trial resulted In his discharge , as there
that the animal
was no evidence to show
had been suffering with the disease as
charged.
The beef In question had been sold to Louis
ureel , but the complaint was filed by a third
party on Information received from persona
living In Silver City. The evidence at the
hearing showed that Qreel purchased the
beef In the ordinary course of business and
without any Idea that It was not as repre
sented. The testimony also showed that the
sale had taken place last November. Creel
received a letter from Bada in which hi :
asked him : "What will you pay me for
one good fat steer , dressed and delivered at
Council Bluffs ? " Greel answered , offering
the market price , and the beef was delivered
to him the following day.

Attorney John M. Oalvln appeared before
the Board of County Supervisors yester
day afternoon -with a request that it take
some action to prevent old Mr. and Mrs.
John Short of this city from losing twelr
property. The property In question , which
Is situated on Broadway Just west of North
Eighth street , rwas sold at tax sale for
$ , " 31.29 delinquent taxes and will go to
tax deed March 12 next If not redeemed.
The property is all Mr. and Mrs. Short
have to support them In their old ago and
If they lose It they will become dependent
on the county. Mr. Galvln suggested that
the board make a loan out of the school fund
sufficient to redeem the piopcrty as It was
In his opinion good security for the amount.
Ho was asked by the board to file a proper
petition when It will bo considered and
he agreed to do so today. John Short Is
ono of the pioneer residents of the city and
has been a well known character around
Council Bluffs for many years.

SIOUX CITY , la. , Jan. 19. ( Special Tele
gram. ) Considerable surprise was expressed
In Sioux City when word was received of the
conviction on thirteen , counts for fraudulent
banking of F. M. Dorsey , ex-cashier of the
Ponca , Neb. , First National bank. The
general Impression was that he "would " get
through on some technicality or there would
bo a disagreement , as in the first trial.
Judge Carland , who is in Sioux City , was
Informed of the verdict by reporters , but ho
declined to say where judgment will be
passed in the ue. He expects the filing ot
a motion for a new trial. Dorscy's wife and
five little children are at home In Sioux
City , and the general sympathy seems to be
with them.
Postpone Trial of
CRESTON , la. , Jan. 19. ( Special. ) It Is
likely that D. R. Keever , the muchly mar
ried man , who has been In Jail since No
vember , will spend a couple ot months
more In prison. He will be compelled to re
main uhero unless ho can secure bonds as his
case lias been continued until the March
term on motion of the prosecuting attorney.
The case was called yesterday morning ,
but did not come lo _ trial , although a num
ber of witnesses were here and ready to give
their testimony. It seems the county at
torney recently discovered three new wit
nesses , who , he bollvos , will ho able to give
Important testimony. These witnesses were
not before the grand Jury , and In order to
have them testify It would be nocesjary to
give the defense four days notice. But they
were not discovered by the county attorney
| In time to give tbts notice and the defense
objected to their being placed on the stand ,
hence , the county attorney rather than try
his case without this evidence asked that the
cose bo continued until the March term and
the court so ordered. Carrlo Keever , wlfo
No. 2 , has been placed under bonds In the
amount of $200 to Insure her appearance
when the case comes up for trial.

CRESTON , la. , Jan. 19. ( Special. ) The
magnificent new passenger station being
erected at this point by the Burlington route
Is fast assuming proportions. It was origi
nally Intended that the building was to coat
$30,000 , but several thousand dollars in ex
tras has already been added. The station
will probably not bo ready for occupancy
before June 1. The Interior walls are
enameled brick. It is a two-story edifice ,
with office rooms on the second floor. In
point of architectural design It Is a beauty ,
and In durability and permanency the most
substantial In the city. The erection of the
building has bad a tendency to strengthen
priced for city property. The citizens are
feeling grateful to the Burlington for the
elegant passenger station , nnd now the only
complaint that has ever existed against the
railroad has been removed.
