Judge Green beforo leaving here for Red

motion of the motor company to dUsolvo
tho temporary Injunction Becured by II. I.
Forsyth restraining the company from tear

company on South Sixth street or Avcnuo
C. No order to tills effect has been re
celvod yet from Judge Green; neither docs

porary restraining order bolng dissolved.
Tho motor company placed a largo force
of men at work last night tearing up the
tracks on Avenue O and expected to com
plcto tho work by this morning.
Tho efforts of Thomas It. Senior's attorneys
to pi event him being taken to llluo hartli,
Minn., failed. Governor Shaw refused to
withdraw his consent to the requisition from
the governor of Minnesota, and Senior was
turned ovor to tho custody of Deputy Sheriff
llort Davis of Blue Earth, who at once
started north with his prisoner.
Shortly before noon yesterday Sheriff
Couolns received tho following telegram
from W. II. Fleming, prlvuto secretary to
Governor Shaw: "Ojvcrnor directs surrender
of Palmer, alios Uo3H, on rendition war
rant." Sheriff Cousins lost no time- In turn

who had everything In readliic9. Scnter
wns hastily driven by Deputy Sheriff Davis
over to Omaha, as tho latter was anxious
to get his prisoner out of tho Jurisdiction
of tho lown courts, as ho anticipated Sen
ter's friends would inako nn effort to secure
his rclcnno on a writ of habeas corpus. The
Minnesota olllcor did not got his man out
of tho city any too quick, for ns soon as
Sentcr's local attorney learnotl that Gover
nor Shaw had refused to withdraw tho ro-
nulstlon, he went beforo Judgo Aylcaworth
of tho suporlor court, who promptly Issued
n writ of habeas corpus. Armed with tho
writ, tho attornoy hastened to tho court
houso nnd demanded that Sheriff Cousins
deliver Scnter to him.
" I would bo very glad to," replied
Sheriff Cousins, "but tho fact is that Senter
Is not In my custody. Ho left hero a short
while ago In charge of Deputy Sheriff Davis
and is now on 1i1b way to Minnesota."

An offort was niudo to Intercept the Min
nesota olllcor and his prisoner beforo they
crossed tho bridge into Nebraska, but it
failed. It Is not known for certain that
Sheriff Davis took Senter Into Nebraska.
All that is known hero Is that as soon as
Sheriff Cousins surrendered him tho Min
nesota officer hustled Scnter Into a two
ecatcd carriage with a double team and
drovn rapidly awuy from the county Jail.
Ab ho was on tho point of leaving ho told
Sheriff Cousins that Sontcr's attorneys
would havo a hard time now preventing him
being taken to Bluo Earth. Senter was
much put at tho unceremonious way In which
ho waa hustled out of town without being
given (i chanco to speak to his wlfo or any
of his friends who aro hero from his homo
town In Missouri.
Scnter was represented nt tho hearing be
foro Governor Shaw yesterday morning by
his attorneys from Missouri. IIo waB evl
dently greatly disappointed nt their failure
to havo tho requisition withdrawn.
Senter is being taken to Bluo Karth,
Minn., to answer to n chargo of swindling
J. A. Van Slyke, a real estato and loan
broker, out of $1,000 on a deal similar to tho

Alderman Boycr'E ordinance fixing tho
compensation of tho city officers, whereby
it was contemplated to rulso tno salaries
of tho members of tho pollco and fire de
partments from fi0 to $05 per month wns
defeated at tho meeting of tho city council
last night. Aldermen Hammer, Huber,
Lougoo and McDonald were responsible for
Its defent. When tho ordlnnnco waB called
up on Its third reading Attorney Ilnjclton
nsltcd permission to mnko a few state
ments on behalf of tho members of tho
flro department in support of tho pnssngo
of tho measure. IIo showed that tho nro
men formerly received $65 a month, but
tho pay wns reduced a few yenrs ago, when
tho ordinance now In forco was passed. On
behalf of his clients ho argued that thc.
worked practically twenty-four hours each
day and thirteen days out of every fourteen.
IIo suggested that as objections had hcon
raised to tho ordlnnnco on the grounds that
tho appropriation for the department had
been made for this year, that tho measure
not tako effect until the commencement
of tho next fiscal year on April 1, 1001.
Acting on this suggestion Alderman Boyor
moved that tho ordinance bo amended to
tako effect on nnd lifter April 1, 1P01, but
tho amendment failed to carry. Alderman
McDonald then gave tho ordlnnnco Its death
blow for tho present by suggesting that

DES MOINKS, Dec. 17. (Special.) The
Stato Board of Control has lot tho con
tracts for tho meat supply for tho various
state Institutions under tho care of tho
chnscd at an agreed prlco per pound, and
then the superintendents of tho Institutions
buy what they need, approvo tho bills and
scud them to tho board for final auditing.
Tho coutrnctor has only n general Idea of
how much meat ho will furnish the stato
under his contract. Only tho very best
meals nro purchased. Somu of tho samples
submitted to tho board by the bIx or bovcii
packers who made offers wero of Inferior
grade meats. These packers supposed that
uny kind of meat would bo considered good
enough for tho convicts and Insano peoplo,
but In this they misjudged tho Board of
Control. Good meats wero bought, even If
tho prlco was higher. Tomorrow tho su
perintendents of Institutions will bo In Des

with thn Ilnnnl nf Cnntrnl. nnd llinv will
might bo materially reduced in cormin i bo Hnown tho samples of meat offered nnd

tho ordinance ought to bo amended bo as
to raise tho aalarlcs of tho captains of the

and Alderman Ilubor expressed tho opinion
that If nny salnrlcs wero to bo raised that

Tho passage of tho ordlnnnco was then

On tho report of tho city engineer on tho
tabulation of tho bids for tho paving with
nsphaltum of First avenue, Sixth, Soventn
nnd Eighth streets wns read, showing that
tho bid of tho Barber Asphalt company was
tho lowest, Alderman Brown moved that all
bids bo rejected. This was strcnoilsly op
posed by Aldorinnn McDonald, who ventured
tho opinion that the opposition to nsphal
tum waB simply an effort to prevent th
paving of theso strcots nt all. After moro
or less desultory discussion tho matter of
awarding tho contract waa laid over on
motion of Alderman Lovctt for two weeks.
City Solicitor Wndsworth submitted n
form of waiver to bo signed by the motor
company In connection with tho distribution
of tho money paid In by it for tho paving
of South Main street, but it did not seem
to satisfy some of tho aldermen and It wan
referred back lo him without explanation.
