GREGORY TRIAL COMMENCES
Indicted for Thre * Separate Offenses Under
Three Different Nomw ,
H4S DECIDED EXCEPTIONS TO A JUROR
I'rotoMn to Ills Ciituiii * ! VKIIIIH | ( .VI-
I'd It to Ser e I'nrnier
Admit" He Wn *
Senrod.
J. A. Gregory , the desperado and horse-
thief , was placed on trial yesterday morn-
I UK In the district court on the charge ot
shooting at Chief ot Police Sam Albro with
Intent to murder him. Albro , who at the
time was a patrolman , assisted by Harry
James , then patrol driver , effected the cap
ture of Clrcgory after he had shot Con
stable Moss nt Lovcland and escaped In
Moss * wagon , taking with him Jon Morgan ,
whom he compelled to drive the team under
penalty of having bin brains blown out.
The Intention of County Attorney Kllpack
had been to first try Gregory on the charge
of shooting Moss , but young Morgan , one
of the principal witnesses for the state ,
could not be In attendance until today.
There Is still another case against Gregory ,
that of stealing n team of mules belonging
to n man living at Ashland , Neb. U Is the
present Intention of the otate to try Gregory
on all three indictments.
Gregory's attorneys filed a motion for a
continuance and In support at It submitted
affidavits from their client In which ho al
leged that the testimony ot Frank and
Joseph Sharp , living near Papllllon , and
Cal Smith , living at Jackson , Neb. , was ma
terial , and that ho had made diligent ef
forts to secure their attendance , but had
failed. The affidavit also contained a
statement to the effect that the night be
fore ho was ariestcd Gregory had called
on Hardin Moss to doctor a mule , but that
Moss waa in such an intoxicated condition
that he could not do the work. What bear
ing on the case this allegation had was not
shown by the affidavit. The st&to elected
to admit that the witnesses named In the
affidavit , If present , would testify as set
out , nnd because of this election Judge
Thoinell overuled the motion and the work
of securing a jury was commenced.
Trouble CrtMtiir 11 Jurj.
There was considerable trouble in securing -
curing the requisite number of Jurors , both
sides challenging for cause , and the regular
panel being exhausted , by agreement It
was decided to complete the requisite num
ber by taking from the bystandeis In court.
In all twenty-six men were examined before
the jury was secured. The jury finally se
lected is as followsW. . II , Wallace , L.
Dunlap , J. S. Smith , C. S. Hubbard , Lafay
ette Brown , W. A , Wilbur , Henry Blumer ,
A. H Smith , Clark Petit. Henry Clark ,
Thomas Eaton , G. C. Taylor.
Juror Clark Petit was a member of Com
pany L , Fifty-first Iowa , and for some
reason Gregory strongly opposed his being
put on the jury. He told his attorneys he
was sure he had met Petit somewhere , and
oven after Petit had stated that he only re
turned to this city last November , several
weeks after the shooting scrape , Gregory
would not be satisfied. When his attorneys
passed Petit for cause and the latter took
his seat In the box Gregory expostulated ve
hemently with his counsel , and for a while
It looked as If there would be an open
breach between the prisoner and his legal
advisors.
The first wltncfB called for the state waa
Chief of Police Albro , who graphically de
scribed the capture of Gregory after a run
ning fight on South avenue. Harry James ,
the patrol driver who was with Albro , was
tbo next witness and his testimony was
about the same ns the other officer.
Henry Tlarks , the farmer who was driving
Gregory into town at the time the officers
overhauled them , caused considerable
amusement by his description of the en
counter and the court was compelled to rap
for order several times during the giving
of his testimony. Tlarks detailed very
graphically and minutely the encounter be
tween Gregory and the officers and how he ,
when the first shot was fired , jumped out
of the wagon to bold the horses. As the
bullets commenced to fly pretty fast ho de
cided the safest way was to lie on the
ground , which ho did , wrapping the lines
around his waist.
( iiiarilliiK the I'rlxoiior Carefully.
Gregory , when handcuffed at the county
jail preparatory to being taken to the court
room , olfercd no resistance , but Instead
assisted She ) iff Cousins In placing the cuffs
on his wrists , His familiarity with the hand
cuffs showed that ho was no stranger to
such oinanients. Special precautions were
taken In the court room to prevent any at
tempt at escape on the pail of the prisoner.
Sheriff CuiihlnH sat in close proximity to
him nnd Bailiff Peterson was stationed at
the doors in tbo northeast corner.
The trial Is attracting more than usual
! attention and the court room was crowded
> all day , among these in attendance being
j many of the residents ot Lovcland and vi
cinity , where the shooting of Hardin Moss
took place.
In this case Gregory Is being tried under
the nunio of A. J. Gregg , under which be
I was Indicted. In the Indictment on the
I' charge of stealing tbo mules he Is named
ns A . ' . Williams Gregory has persistently
refused to tell what his correct name In.
Jofi.c Thompson , Indicted on the charge
of stealing a quantity of Jewelry and other
articles from the residence of L. P , and A.
I P. Klopplng , near Neola , entered a plea of
I guilty and Judge Thornell set Saturday
| morning for passing sentence. The case
against Thompson for breaking and entering
the Klopplng residence will be dlemlsscd.

sion overruling the motion of thn plaintiffs

The regular monthly session of the city
council was held Monday night nnd con
siderable business transacted.
Secretary Tlnlcy In a communication noil-
fled the council that the Council Bluffs ,
Lake Manavva and Uast Omaha Construc
tion company had on November IS , 1S90.
assigned to the Omaha , Council Bluffs K.
Suburban Railway company nil Its rights
under the franchise granted by the people
at a sreclal election held December 6 , 1S07.
Following this notification came the follow
ing request from the Omaha , Council Bluffs
ft Suburban Hallway company , signed by
W. S. Heed , secretary.
"To the City Council of Council Bluffs ,
la. Gentlemen : You arc hereby requested
to determine nnd fix the value cS the pav
ing upon the streets hereinafter named ,
upon which the. undersigned proposes to lay
down Its street railway tracks under the
provisions of an ordinance pasocd by the
city council of the city of Council Bluffs , en
titled , 'AH ordinance authorizing the Coun
cil Bluffs , Lake Manawa & East Omaha
Construction company to construct and
operate a street railway In the city ot Coun
cil Bluffs nnd defining the powers nnd duties
of said company. ' Approved December 7 ,
180" .
"Tho streets for which wo desire you to
fix and determine the cost and value of the
paving are as follows : Broadway , from
Thirteenth street to Main street ; Main
.street , from Washington avenue to SU-
tcenth avenue ; Sixth street , from Washing
ton avenue to Eighth avenue ; Washington
avenue , from Eighth street to Main street ;
First avenue , from Ninth otrect to Main
street , Including all intersections with alt
streets named , the same being streets named
in section 2 of said ordinance , which nro
at this time paved. This you are requested -
quested to do under the provisions of sec
tion 833 of the code. "
The request waa referred to the com
mittee of the whole , which will meet tomor
row morning at 10 o'clock to go over the
streets named and ascertain the value of
the paving nnd the amount that the com
pany shall pay for some If it elects to lay
He tracks on such streets.
The ordinance regulating- the placing ot
water gas or other stop-boxen In the pave
ment was passed with a few minor altera
tions.
The introduction of an oidlnancc regu
lating the election of park commissioners
came as a surprise to the aldermen , noth
ing have been mentioned about Its prepara *
tlon by the city attorney , who had drafted
it at the request of the mayor. The code
provides that the city council may regulate
the election of park commissioners and In
order to Insure the election of one commis
sioner every second year -when the city
election Is held , it was found necessary to
have such an ordinance. Two of the com-
miEsIoncra go out of office this spring , leav
ing one , whoso term will not expire tot
four years. The ordinance provides that
ono commissioner , to be elected this spring ,
shall be elected for a term of two years
and the other for six years , the regular
term. By this arrangement one ot the com
missioners will have to be elected every
two years. Alderman Chrleteuscn alone
objected to the ordinance , which was passed
on the suspension of the rules.
The report of City Solicitor Wadstvorth
recommending that the city settle with
James Henry bis claim for damages for In
juring his foot against a stop-box on Broad
way for $30 was referred to a special com
mittee consisting of Aldermen Casper , John
son and Metcalf ,
On the application of a number of Inter
ested property owners , City Engineer Et-
nyre was directed to erect the necessary
dams In Indian creek between Bryant ami
N'orth Second streets to prevent the wash
ing away of the banks.
The report of Chairman Test of the com
mercial committee for January was read.
Among other things the committee suggest
ed that the real estate men of the city form
an organization , that the city make an ef
fort to secure at least ono of the four state
conventions to be held this year ; that Ad
miral Dewey bo invited to include Council
Bluffs in his western trip this summer.
A petition signed by tl" officers of all the
abor organizations of the city , asking that
: ho council pass an ordinance prohibiting
the opening of barber shops on Sundays
was referred to the committee ot the whole.
August Lotz , a member ot the Barbers' Pro
tective association , spoke in support ot the
ordinance. lie said that while there ore
[ orty-ono shops In the city , there are only
four which persist In keeping open on Sun
days. Ho referred to the cases brought by
the association against the Sunday working
barbers , and that In every Instance the
judge of the superior court had fined the
defendants $1 and costs , and that the county
imd not been ono cent out by such cases.
These cases , however , had been appealed
to the district court , and there were
now feovcnty-eight pending , Jt was to stop
this litigation thai organized labor requested
that the council pass an ordinance prohibit
ing the opening of barber shops on the Sab
bath , said Lotz.
In answer to questions from Alderman
Casper , Lotz said he did not believe the
closing of the barber shops on Sunday would
Injure the trade of the hotels , or that trav
eling men would prefer to stop in Omaha
where the shops are allowed to bo open ,
Lotz said further that n move waa now
on foot to close all the shops In Omaha on
Sundays , and that It would soon bo carried
Into effect , Lotz also said that the asso
ciation had nothing to do with the bill that
Senator Hazelton had Introduced at the
present session of the legislature providing
for a state law prohibiting the opening of
barber whops on Sundays.
The council passed K resolution accepting
the three fire escapes which J , C. Bl\by had
erected under the ordinance on the Shugart ,
Everett and Masonic blocks. Chairman
Atkins of the fire and light rommlttco had
objected to the escapes an not being accord
ing to the specifications provided In the or
dinance. Ho and Alderman Brough alone
voted against the acceptance ot the es
capes.
Bids for the city scavenging were re
ceived from John Nelson and Sam Dobson.
Nelson bid as follows' Removing cattle
and horses , $1 ; dogs and horsis , . ' .0 cents ,
cats and fowl , 5 cents ; refuse and manure ,

Justice Vlen's coutt was the scene yes
terday afternoon of an exciting scrimmage
between Constable Albcrll and a prKoncr.
IM Jackson. Inwhich the 'squire himself
nnd several bystanders wcro called upon
to lend n hand. Jackson was arrested at
his home on Sixteenth street between Ave
nue A and Broadway to answer to a charge
of brutally assaulting J. O. Kelly. At the
house ho showed fight , being somewhat under
the Influence of liquor , but was finally per
suaded to accompany the constable to Jus-
tlco Vlen's court. Justice Vlen , when ho
saw the condition Jackson was In , ordered
him taken to the county jail to sober up ,
saying he would hnvo him brought Into court
Wednesday on the assault charge.
Jackson became ugly and refused to ac
company the officer. Ho made a desperate
resistance when nn attempt to-Omndcufl him
waa made. Seeing that Constable Albert !
alone was no match for Jackson , Justice
Vlen decided to take -hand , He caught
Jackson by the leg nnd threw him to the
floor. Ho then knelt on the prostrate man
while the constable succeeded In placing
the handcuffs on. 'Squire Vlen weighs In
the neighborhood ot 230 pounds and Jackson
strongly objected to htm kneeling on his
stomach. "Get oft my stomach , 'squire , "
ho called out "You are crushing the life
out ot me , " but the justice kept kneeling
on him until the cuffs wore on.
This did not end the fight , however , ns
Jackson refused to go down the stairs with
Albcrtl nnd braced himself against the ban
isters. The ofilceis were obliged to drag
him head foremost down the stairway onto
the street , when they picked him up and
throw him into a , buggy. At the county-
jail ho again showed fight nnd had to be
choked before the officers could get him
into a cell.
Fiank Jackson , a brother , also wanted
for the assault , managed to skip to\vn on
a freight train before the officers reached
the house. He has only icccntly completed
serving a sentence In the penitentiary for
complicity In the minder of "Texas" Baker.
The Jacksons are regarded as a danger
ous outfit by the authorities. Kelly , the
assaulted man , was badly beaten up and
but lor the timely arrival of neighbors
would probably have been Killed The wlfo
of Ed Jackson , who tried to interfere and
save Kelly , was badly beaten by her hus
band.

prominent man of this stntu the appoint
ment of chairman of the Slnto Hoard of
Control , to succeed ex-OoNemor l.nrrabcc.
Ho b.ii written the gentleman and aunlta
hl-i acceptance. Today tile governor rcfuncd
to dlvulgo the nanio of the appointee , but
slated that ho expected to hear from his
candidate within twenty-four hours. It an
acceptable answer Is received his name will
KO to the senateWednesday. . Krom the
ntrfti'iit Indications It matters little who the
governor nnpolntw. The opposition , or the
Cummins faction , will line np with the
democrats and defeat Shaw's man. ThlH li
generally conceded. The Cummins forces ,
nlth the democrats , have It In their power
to tnko the appointive pone. ' from the gov
ernor and place. It In the hands of the legis
lators tbemsches. Whether or not they
will do this dcpcndn on a bill now pend
ing before the house.
If the nomination Is not accepted , the
governor utnnds ready with another man , to
whom It will bo tendered Immediately. This
much the- chief cxecutho Is willing to state ,
but refuses to disclose- the Identity of the
person to whom the second nomination haa
been offered , thereby Indicating his deter
mination to carry out the policy which he
announced last week of making his second
nomination without the assistance of the
press of the state. There Is much specula
tion an to who the person may bo who has
the appointment under consideration at the
present moment , but no one seems to bo
ready with acry good guess , further than
that It has gone outside the ranks of these
mentioned prominently In connection with
the appointment heretofore.
The Sweet bill In the house , to take the
nppolnth e power for this position from the
goNcinor and senate and place It In the
handn of the general assembly , Is still a
topic of general discussion. .Mr. Sweet de
clares that the bill is his own , and was In
troduced by him with the avowed Intention
of taking the entire Board of Control ap
pointments out of politics.
