Judge Thornoll handed down his decision
In the district , court yesterday morning ,
overruling llu > 'demurrer of the city to the
jietltlon of Intervention filed by Forrest
Smith In the Injunction case of Krvln Dryer
against the City of Council Bluffs nnd
Thomas u'owman. Dryer brought suit to re
strain the city from entering Into a con
tract with' Bowman for supplying the city
with electric lighting. The city demurred
to the petition on the grounds that Dryer
was not a. taxpayer nor a resident of the
city and therefore had no standing In court.
The dumurrer of the city was sustained , but
in the meantime Smith Intervened and set
ting up substantially the- same ground as
Dryer nnd claiming In addition that the city
had no right tp enter Into a lighting con
tract for n longer period than one year.
The city demurred to Smith's petition of In
tervention on the grounds that It ought to
Ktnnd or fall with Dryer' * original petition.
This the court now overrules and unless an
appeal Is taken the case will now have to
bo tried on Smith's petition of Intervention.

VERDICT IN GREGORY CASE
Jurj Finally Agrees to OompromUo After
Being Out Two Days.
ASSAULT COMMIT GREAT BODILY INJURY
Dili ? Yenr In Jnll llvnvlrnt Sentence
tluil Can llo InllliMiMl for Mliiiiit-
lut Countable Moan TulU
of .liirx llrllilnic.
J. A. Gregory , the desperado and horse
thief , who has already served three terms
In the penitentiary and who shot und nar
rowly escaped killing Constable Hardln Moss
of Lovcland , will not be called upon to ex-
plato his crime by a severer penalty than
one year In the county Jail. The Jury bu-
fore which he wa tried on this charge In the
district court , alter being out nearly two
days , arrived at a compromise verdict yes
terday afternoon , finding him guilty only of
assault with Intent to commit great bodily
Injury. The Indictment on which Gregory
was tried charged him with nsmult with In
tent to commit murder. The verdict Is the
same as that returned by the jury before
which Gregory was tried for shooting at
Chief of Police Albro and under It Gregory
cannot be sentenced to more than one year
In the county Jnll In both cases and It rcstw
with the court , whether these terms shall
bo concurrent or cumulative. In the latter
case Gregory will have to spend the next two
years In the county Jail. Judge Thornell will
not pass sentence until some day in the
early part of next week.
The case against Gregory In which he was
Indicted on the charge of stealing a mule
belonging to a mat. named Laughlln at Ash
land , Neb. , will not bo taken up at this
term.
Whinner * of Jury IlrlliliiRT.
The finding of the jury has caused much
comment , the more especially aa the evidence
against Gregory was positive and In fact
there was no denial on the part of the de
fense as to the shooting of Moss. The fact
that both juries returned verdlctn In a lesser i
degree than the crime charged has caused j
rumors that Improper Inlluonces were j
brought to bear upon some of the members i
of the Jury. County Attorney Kllpack j
has been Informed that during the progress !
of the trials a stranger , supposed to be a |
friend of Gregory , was hanging around the |
court house corridors and displaying a large
roll of bills. This man 1 said to have de
clared that Gregory would never be con
victed. At the tlmo of Gregory's arrest It
was reported that he was a member of an
organized gang of horse- thieves and that a
desperate attempt would be made to get
him fre < ? . Gregory himself said he never
would be convicted and that he had plenty
of friends. If he could get word to them , \
who would supply him with all the money he
needed. Gregory's attorneys , however , say
that their client had but little money at his
disposal.
Gregory yesterday morning was feeling
very much elated over the verdict. He
bousted that hereafter if an officer in uni
form should ever come toward him and he
had reason to believe he was to be arrested
he would shoot to kill without waiting to
ask the officer what his business might be.
Shlerlff Cousins and his deputies do not relish
having Gregory aa a boarder at the county
jail for two years , as a close watch will I
have to be kept all the time over him , as
they feel sure ho will make an effort to
escape some day.
Other Cnnex.
Frank Paul was yesterday tried on the
charge of breaking and entering n caboose
In the Burlington yards and nteallng an
overcoat belonging to one of the train crew.
The jury brought In a verdict of guilty as
charged after being out less than an hour ,
but recommended him to the mercy of the
court , Paul , who claims to bo from Creston ,
la. , admitted stealing the overcoat , but de
nied breaking Into the car. He said the car
was open and ho entered with the Intention
of necurlng a ride to Pacific Junction. FindIng -
Ing no oneIn the car and weeing the coat
lying there , he decided to take It. The evi
dence of the train crew was to the effect
that while the doors of the car were not
locked they wore shut.
The case of Fred II. Hanson , charged with
the burglary of Albln Hunter's residence ,
will be left open for a few days , ns It Is
understood that ho desires to enter a plea
of guilty. Ills friends , however , are op-
pc cd to this and wish to have h'a sanity Inquired - !
quired Into.
This completes the criminal calendar for
this term and Judge Thornell will take up
the civil docket again this morning , the flret
case assigned being that of E. W. Slgler
against Nora Murphy. Judge Thornell will
pass sentence this morning on Jesse Thomp
son , who pleaded guilty to the larceny of
Jewelry and other articles from the resl-
dencn of the ( Clapping family near Neola.

Blutff , has completed Its work. The fol
lowing rnlra drafted by the committee will
bo submitted to the city central committee
at a meeting to bo called by Chairman
Harry Brown for next Tuesday evening :
1. In all cauciD-es held for the selection of
delegates to any convention It t > hall bo the

J ixills be closed until all present liuvo been
„ I given an opportunity to voto. In any case
whoru all huvo voted the jwlls shall close

These rules , If adopted , will do much
toward doing away with the disorder and
Irregular methods that have heretofore pre
vailed at the caucuses In this city. Thry
will also prevent the stitlllng of ballot
boxes and the Introduction of outsiders
having no Ipgal right to vote In the pre
cinct. They will also bo the means of
preventing any one faction taking snap
judgment on another by opening and clos
ing the caucus at such time as the dominant
friction may see tit. These rulcu , If prop
erly carried out , will give every voter In
each precinct an opportunity to fairly cast
his ballot. The rules h.ivo bcon Eilbmltte' ' .
to several of the members of the republican
city central committee and they have all
expressed themselves strongly In favor or
ndopllng them as they arc.

panies In repealing the 1 per cent state tax

erty should be. taxed by the county as that
of Individuals. The bill was Introduced by
Dews of Linn and was recommended by the
house committee on Insurance , it met lit
tle opposition , passing by n vote of 81 to fl ,
after explanation had been offered by

state tax would suffice and later being sub
jected to another by the decision of the supreme
premo court.
Another two hours were devoted by the
