The nnxlously nwaltcd final report ot 1 former Sheriff Morgan wan filed with the Hoard of County Supervisors yesterday afternoon. A report for the full twelve months of 18D9 was also submitted by Mor i gan. No action was tnken on the reports i and none will be until the books and ac counts of the sheriff's otllco for the last two ! years have been checked over by expert ac ' countants. The notion of the board In de ciding to check over Morgan's books for his last terra was taken on the recommendation of thu committee , consisting of Supervisors Hanson and Matthews , whose duty It is to examine the reports of all county ulllccrs. This committee m dp the following tcpirt : "Your committee reports that the repnrc of the sheriff for the last seven months of the year 1899 and his annual rc-pt1 t not hav ing reached the- committee In time for ex amination and report nt this session of the board , the committee therefore rccom- mendH that action be not taken on such re ports until a thorough examination of the books of said sheriff , also thoce of the clerk of the district court relating to the accounts of Haiti sheriff has been made by a com petent persons to be designated by the board. " The report was concurred In and Spencer Smith and Thomas Bowman are to be em ployed to make the examination of the books and accounts. Smith and Bowman were on a former occasion employed to check up the accounts of all the county olllcors. Doth are former county ofllcem and consequently familiar with the work before them.

Morgan's report for the seven months from June 1 to December 31 showed that the receipt * of the office were $2,602.40. The receipts for the first five months of the year were $2,296.60. With these figures before them it Is not thought that the board will take any action In the matter of Sheriff Cousins' deputies until after the examination of the books and accounts of ox-Sheriff Morgan. The greater part of the morning session was taken up in the annual settlement with the county treasurer. Clerk of the District Court Reed filed hla port for the last ycnr , which showed that ho fees of the office amounted to f2,045.70. f this sum $1,913.82 was turned Into the . . ounty treasury , the minor expenses of the oinco amounting to J121.88.

The attorneys for the Independent School District of Council Bluffs and the Board of Education filed yesterday In the district " oi'rt an additional amendment to the answer In the Injunction suit brought by Slack Peterson. The case Is set for hearing at the January term. One section of the amendment is particularly Interesting , ns It states that owing to the decision in the appeal case of T. h. Smith the board has no Intention of appropriating any of the funds of the district for the purpose of paying for the Oakland avenue tract. The amended answer in part Is as follows : "Slnco _ the filing of their original answer , and since the dissolution of the temporary writ of Injunction granted herein , the ap peal of T. L.

"That said opinion revcrMng said action of these defendants was based upon no consideration of other testimony on said ap peal and upon no determlnatlrn as to the centrallty of tbo site In question or Its con venience or accessibility for the school chil dren of the defendant school district. "That since the said opinion was deliv ered , and In accordance with thu spirit thereof , and under the authority conferred upon them by law , these defendants , mem bers of the board of directors of the de fendant school district , have made selection . of another and different tract of ground as a tlto for the location of the High school building In question , lo-wlt : What Is known as the Ballard tract , adjoining u large seven-story hotel , known as the Grand hotel , and just across the street from a large and beautiful park , known as Ilayllss park , which kilo so selected Is as near the biulnrta and population center of the defendant school district as in their judgment It was possible to secure ground largo enough upon which to erect the building contemplated without Involving tbo defendant district In an expense for ground alone of between $100.000 anj $200.000 , which would be very much in ore than the amount ot money avail able to tbo defendant district for both ( be purchase of the necessary ground for the site and the erection of the building In ques tion. tion."That "That these defendants , as thu board of directors of the defendant school district , since the taking of said nppe.il of saM T. h.

( Special Telegram. ) The Sioux City police say they know now ' who is the murderer of John Robson , killed last Friday , but they will not make an ar rest for several days yet , as they have not ' in hand all the necessary testimony. The man Is said to be in hiding among one of the toughest gangs In the country , just across the Missouri In Covln ton , Neb. Karly this morning a number of Sioux City police and detectives , who had been deputized In Dakota county , Nebraska , went to Covlnglon to search the house of the notorious Billy Ncad. A secret raid was made In this opium den and some startling discoveries were made. In one room was | found a secret panel opening Into a tunnel to the cellar. Hero was a bed In a com partment about the size of two coffins. A water bucket and food box were bore. In the cistern at the rear was found a pile of straw , which also has been used for a hid ing place. Here the police think Robson's murderer has been hiding in the daytime. Covlngton Is Infested with some of the worst characters in the country nnd the police feel certain the murderer Is In the gang. The Sioux City chief of police had to threaten to shoot members of this gang , who resent'd the search of the resorts. Even the town marshal attempted to Interfere with the Iowa men. and was told to get out with his gang or he , too , would bo made a mark for .cold lead. One of these men has been In- I dieted fifty-four times for various crimes , | but never has been convicted. Every man j has a long record of crime and the facts | with reference to the place will be reported j to the governor of Nebraska before It becomes - comes necessary for Sioux City to cross the river and clean it out by force.
