The people of that vicinity objected prl-
I vatcly Botne weeks ago to the board and

pel.tlon netting forth that the cow marred
the beauty of the place Attorney J. Q.

SHAW DECIDES NOT TOG 0
IDENTITY REMAINS UNKNOWN
.Nome of Mnli Killed .VnrtlMt eturli
Trfli'kn Is Inilli
covrroil. Coroner Treynor yesterday held an In
quest Into the manner of the death of tho
unknown young man who was killed by a
Northwestern train at Honey Creek and
the Jury, which consisted of 0. W. Graham,
I'red Peterson and A. H. Dillon, found that
the Identity of tho dead man wns unknown
nnd that ho had como to bis death by being
run over by a train.
The only witness nt tho Inquest wa9 I.
K. Smith, tho night operator nt the Honey
Creek stntlon. Hp related that on the night
of the accident nn old Bohemian tramp,
who had onco before shown 'up at Honey
Creek, came Into tho depot and asked for a
place to sleep. Ho was permitted to occupy
a chair in the waiting room during the
night nnd In tho morning when he started
out ho discovered the dead body on the
track. Three trains had been through
during the night No. 20 at 11:50; an en
gine nnd n wnycar at 12:50 and an oxtra
freight at 1:33; all eastbound. Tho main
portion of tho Jiody was found on tho ensl
bound track, but the lower limbs wore
near tho inner rail of the westbound track.
This and tho further fact that marks were
fcecn nlong thb ties on the Inner side of the
eastbound track the full length of the depot
as If a shoo had dragged heavily and the
appearance that the hend of the victim had
struck the planking on the crossing nt tho
far end of tho station led tho oporntor
to believe that the man had been riding
on tho break rods of perhaps tho 1:33 train.
Ho seem to have lost his balance at the
west end of the depot and hung on, par
tially dragging until his head struck the
planking nt the crossing. From the manner
in which a bundle of cigarette papers In
tho possession of the victim was dis
tributed nlong the tracks for a considerable
distance, It wns bollcved that the train that
killed him was going at u high rate of
speed.

The condition of W. E. Haverstock, who
was stricken with some malady not fully
defined while taking a bath Friday night,
wns little If any improved yesterday. Dr.
P. J. Montgomery, who is In attendance,
reported last night that Mr. Haverstock
seemed to movo himself n llttlo better nt
that time, but he was yet without tho uso
of his right side and still unconscious, al
though those about him Inst evening
thought he showed some signs of recogni
tion when spoken to. The doctor Bald ho
thought tho patient would como through
tho experlcnco all right.
Mlchnrl Burns la Hurt.
Michncl Burns, a section hand on the Illi
nois Central, made a misstep on a handcar
on a trestle Just north of Clara, a station
a short distance north of Council Bluffs,
nnd fell twenty-flvo feet to the ground.
No bones wero broken, but concus
sion ot the splno and base of the brain oc
curred. Burns wns picked up In an un
conscious condition and taken to St.
Frank Scngg was arrested nt Lnko Man
nwa Into Sunday night for being drunk and
disturbing the peace. Ed Wright, who Is
tho engineer on tho steamer Manila, was
also arrested for interfering with the of
llcor who placed Scngg under arrest.
They wero both put In tho county Jnll, but
Wright wns later released on request of
the motor company people. Scagg was
taken before Justice Bief of Manawa yes
terday and fined 13 and costs.

Powerful, Fascinating and Full of Life.
The author of "The Hlnck Douglns," "The Raiders,"
"The Lilac Sunbonnot," "The Stickit Minister," etc., never
penned u more thrilling tale than "The Firebrnud."
It Is a stirring, masterly story, niovlnf? In Spain nt tho time whea
the followers of Marin Christina nnd those of Don Carlos were con
testinti tho right of succession to the throne. Tho hero, Hlalr, a
lovable, ami hot-bended young Scotchmnn. appropriately ulcknnmod
"The Klrobraud," becomes involved with two friends In n Corllst
plot to ubduct tho Queen Regent and llttlo Isabella and dellvor
them Into tho hunds of General Kilo, representative of Don Car

Blair Is also drawn Into the plot, and gives many strlklug proofi
of a woman's devotion. ,
At tho palace of La Granjn, whero they had taken refuge from
the plaguo which wns devastating the surrounding country, Blair
rescues the Queen nnd her little dnughter from the vengeance of a
band of gypsies. Ho afterwards Iish some thrilling experiences In
freeing his royal charges from General Cabrera, n Carllst leader,
who Is bent on putting them to death. In this rescuo he Is nobly
aided by Concha, his little sweetheart, who rides madly In search
of General Ello to secure his help. By nccldcnr, however, she ar
rives at tho camp of General Espartero, Commander-in-Chief of nil
the Queen's armies, who conies to the relief of Blair nnd his friends
nnd defeats tho Carllsts' plans.
Blalr resigns his Carllst commission and is accused of being a
traitor to the cause. Ho Is rescued from tho rack by Concha, whom
ho afterwards marries. Hp Is finally appointed Governor of Val
encia by tho Queen in appreciation of his services.
"THE I'THEBHAND" is nil action, nnd its swiftly crowding
situations In, nil of which tho hero overcomes every obstacle, wheth
er in love or war, hold the interest of the reader to the very last
line of the last chapter.
