HCII SCHOOL BUILDING SITE
Qnarrcl as to Location is Becoming Mixed

ANOTHER INJUNCTION AGAINST THE BOARD
CrnilliiR of Onklnml Ave
nue Site ntnl ( oniplctliiK I'uruhnno
of ( he l'roirry Until lloiidn
Are UlniioMcd Of.
The opponents to the selection of the Oak-
and aveiiun site for the new High school
building are evidently determined to leuve
no stone unturned In their effort to defeat
ho action of the Board of Education. Fear-
ng that before the courts would dispose of
ho matter the board would go ahead and
complete the purchase of the site , an amend
ment to the petition of Slack Peterson , In
which an injunction is asked against the
board , wnn filed In the district court ycster-
ay. In the amendment a temporary in
unction is asked for restraining the board
rom proceeding with the grading of the
property and from completing the purchase
ot the site until the bonds have been Issued
and disposed of. Judge Smith declined to
ake any action himself in the matter , but
gave the plaintiff permission to apply to any
other Judge In the district for a temporary
vrlt of Injunction. It Is understood that the
nttnfnnfa fet * t Jl n nlfltntlff U.'tlt m nt O t ) l O
application to Judge Green , now holding
court at Avoca.
In the amended petition It Is alleged that
he bonds so ordered by the defendant di
rectors have not 'been ' ordered Insued or
sold , but disregarding the proposition voted
on providing that the site should bo pur
chased from the proceeds of the sale of the
bonds and from no other source , they are
about to order the purchase money for the
site out of the general schoolhouse fund ot
the district.
Also , that in violation of the expressed
provisions of section 3779 of the code , and
without advertising or soliciting for com
petitive bids , and before acquiring the tltlo
o the site , they have begun work on the
nilldlng and grounds , have let or pretended
o let a contract for grading to E. A. Wick-
ham & Co. for a stipulated sum ot 7 cents
icr cubic yard ; that said contract for grad-
ng Is In excess of $300 , and because of the
failure of the board to comply with said
section of the statute is illegal , null and
void and of no effect , and unless the said
Board of Directors and the said Wlckham
& Co. arc enjoined from proceeding with
said grading the same will be proceeded
with and a liability against the taxpayers
of the district Incurred therefor.
And further , that on the 24th day of
April , 1899 , one T. L. Smith , and others ,
taxpayers of said district , under and by vir-
tuo of section 2818 of the code , apppealcd
from the order and selection of a high
school silo as made by said defendants on
April 17 , to the county superintendent ot
1'ottawattamie county , la. ; that said appeal
has been In all respects perfected and Is
now pending before said county superin
tendent for final determination.
The allegation Is also set up that the de
fendants , In violation of said appeal , art.
proceeding without respect to the pendency
of the same , and causing the site referred
to to be graded and made ready for the
erection of a building thereon , and also
are about to close the purchase of the said
site by receiving a deed and paying the
purchase price therefor ; that unices re
strained by Injunction the said defendants
threaten to involve the taxpayers ot said
district In the cost of the slto aforesaid , and
the excavation thereof and to deprive them
of any benefit they may derive from the re *
suit of the appeal pending and great and
Irreparable Injury will bo caused thereby ,
for which the plaintiff has no speedy rem
edy at law.
In conclusion the plaintiff prays , in ad
dition to ttoo relief asked for In ills origi
nal petition , that a temporary Injunction
issue to restrain the defendants from the
purchase of said school bouse slto until the
bonds voted therefor have been sold by said
district ; that they be further restrained
from proceeding with the grading of the
site and from doing any act In the prcmiscn
until said appeal hoe been finally deter
mined.
President Sims , in nliose oliargo the mat
ter was left by the other members of the
board , denies that any contract hns been
yet entered into with Wlckham for Ihe
grading of the Oakland avenue property.
The grading Is being done , but it Is nt
Wlckham's own risk. Ho needed the dirt
for his grading contract with the Fort Dodge
and Omaha road and was given permission
to KO ahead and remove the earth from tht >
Oakland avenue tract , the understanding
being that he would not receive any pay for
it In case Iho board failed to secure a tltlo
to the property. Although the opponents
have taken' the matter of the selection of
the slto Into the courts , no order so far
has been Issued In nny way restraining the
board from proceeding with tlio grading.
U Ic understood that Contractor Wlckham
1-ad secured permission from the owners or
the jiroperty , so that In the event of the
'
scho'ol board falling to get tltlo to the lots
ho would not ho liable to them.

1'roneeute Her.
Although the case of Ida 'Mitchell ' , the
negrcss charged with robbing a guest nt the
Grand hotel , has buen continued In police
court until Monday , there neems to be little
chance that she will bo prosecuted. The
man she robbed , 'who ' gave the assumed name
of R. W. Brunner , IB R , W. Blorwlth , an iu-
fiuranco adjuster of New York , and ho has
llatly refused to have anything more to do
with the case now that 'ho has recovered the
larger part of hl money. From here ho went
to Omaha , whore ho was located at a leading
hotel by otllcors from thlo city. Ho declined
to hand buck the money to be used as evi
dence against the ncgress and refused to re
turn here to prosecute. When Chief Blxby
learned this he bad nn Information filed
against JllerwlUh charging him with "ob
taining money under false pretcnsea , " bas
ing the complaint on the ground that Bler-
wlth had been pormlttcd to retain his own
money after It had been recovered. A war
rant wan Issued for his arrwt , but the Omaha
police absolutely refused to take Blorwlth
into custody on such a charge.
The facts of the case are that on the night
of the robbery , after the negroes and her
lover , Tom Sawyer , had been placed under
arrest , Blerwlth Induced Captain Denny and
Oillcer Plnnell to accompany him back to the
place where the woman was found and con
tinue the search for the money. Blerwlth
promised the officers $50 if they were suc
cessful In recovering his money for him.
While searching In the debris at the foot cf
Uho covered stairway leading to the rooms
where the -woman was found Officer Plnnell
kicked open a roll ot newspaper , disclosing
Blerwlth's money. The latter promptly and
naturally seized It and the officers nt the
time made no objection to his taking it. It
Is presumed ho paid thorn thq $ ' , 0 that ho
promised.
Sawyer was released yesterday morning ,
as the police claim there was no evidence to
connect him with the robbery.

DR3 MOINES. April 23. ( Special Tele-
Bram. ) "Wo find for the state In the sum
of $1,419 , " wan the verdict of the Jury in
the suit of the state of Iowa against ex-
Secretary of State W. M. MeFarlnnd and his
bondsmen which was returned shortly be
fore noon after the Jury had been out for a
lltilo more than nn hour. The amount re
turned In the vordlct was exactly na figured
up by the attorney ceneral In his closlnc
arguments ns what should bo found on the
questions that were leit by Judge Holmes
for the Jury to decide.
The vordlct was not ft eurprlso , as it waa
Ronorally considered that the number of
farmers who were on the Jury would look
with horror on the action of MeFarlnnd of
levying on the clerks for political purposes ,
and the testimony bearing on the points to
bo decided by the Jury was too direct tind
convincing to look for any other Issue. The
stnto has won on the minor portion of the
suit and it Is now considered certain that
had the court sustained the motion of Mr.
liomlcy to direct the verdict the Jury would
have returned a verdict for recov
ery in nn amount probably In the
neighborhood ot $5,000. This being the case ,
it Is probable the state will appeal. A mo
tion for a now trial was filed by the defense
this afternoon on the particular and specific
grounds that "neither the allegations nor
the proof showed that the conditions of the
bond of the defendant had been broken. "

operators for putting non-union miners at

there was no trouble. The eighteen men

as the mine ordinarily employs 300 men or
more the strikers consider it their victory.
Ono of the leaders of the strike said today
that the 1,000 miners on the strike nro be
ginning to suffer and that It is very prob
able that unless there are developments the
strikers will go back to work some day next
week. They simply cannot stand the stiuln

liquor and bar fixtures sold to William Wise

claim that that part of the claim presented ,
pertaining to the liquor , has no standing In
court , Inasmuch as the plaintiff has not
complied with the Iowa mulct law. The
Judge made a ruling to that effect and the
case will be appealed. Should this decision
be sustained by the supreme court every
