The appointment by Mayor Morgan, at th request ot the management of Court land Beach, of aeven special officer to serv at that pleasure resort was hung up by the city council last night owing to the question of the eligibility of th men named being raised. Alderman Casper raised the question whether the mayor had the authority to appoint a special officer any but resident ot thl city and the state of Iowa. The men appointed are said to be resident of Omaha, but will make their homes at the beach during the season and this temporary residence was not consid ered sufficient by the aldermen to consti tute them residents of Iowa. City Attor ney Snyder, on being appealed to, recited from the Iowa code, which provides that all elective and appointive officer of the city must be qualified elector. Alderman Casper in raising th question suggested that In the event of one of the special officer being sued fqr Illegal ar rest the city of Council Bluffs would be held In all probability liable, as the bond furnished by the officer would be of no ac count If the officer' appointment by the mayor was not legal. The matter was dis cussed at length and finally the appoint mttala wer referred back to the mayor and city attorney to Investigate a to the eligi bility ef the men. Th men named were: J. H. Cuslck, Michael Cavanaugb, Thomas Carmlck. B. U Curtl. John Stdner, John O Donahoe and George Blake.

The building formerly used by th city a a jail at that place 1 practically derelict and occupied by a family. It is a mils away from the resort. Chief Ttbbtts suggested that a temporary structure could be erected t a coat not to exceed $150. Thl led to a dtacusalon as to what revenue the city derived from Cut-Off and Chief Tlbblts stated that at least nine saloons would be paying llcens. H said that one saloon had been runlnng for two months and had a city Ucene. Thl statement was que tloned by City Clerk Phillip, who said that In th last four years he bad only Issued one license for that section of the city and that was for t owwaek. Th matter of th jail waa referred to the committee on police and health, with power to act. The appointment ot F. L. Hayes to the police fore by Mayor Morgan wa approved. Hayea will serv at Cut-Off.

SELECT CARSON FOR JUSTICE .Vote of Board Waa I'aanliscs la Spite f Fact There Were Other Applicants. The Board ot County Supervisors con vened yesterday afternoon for the regular June session. The first business to be taken up was the selection of a justice of the peace for Council Bluffs to Oil the va cancy caused by the resignation of John W. Ferrler, who has gone to the Philip, pines. Hon. George Carson, former judge of the district court, was the unanimous selection ot the board. Former Justice Ovlde Vlen, Walter Joseph and Robert Green had formal applications before the board, while Attorney George H. Gable waa also after the position. County Attorney Killpack called the at tention of the board to the fact that con tractor on the Oreat Western railroad had driven piling in the public highway west ot tho city, where the railroad is constructing an overhead crossing over the tracks of the Rock Island road. He said no permission had been asked ot the county and that al though ordered to desist, the men in charge of the work claimed they had a per fect right to drive the piling where they were. The county attorney suggested that the matter be taken Into the courts and an Injunction suit brought and the board adopted a resolution giving the county at torney general authority to bring suit to enjoin railroads, their agent or con tractor from obstructing the public high ways. Mr. Killpack announced that such suit would be brought at once against the Great Western. It has developed that some thirty-four feet ot the lot recently turned over to the county by E. Huntington, now a resident of Utah, who was unable to pay the school fund mortgage on It, have been fenced in as part of Fairmont park. The matter was called to the attention of the park board by County Auditor Innes, who reported yesterday that the park commissioners had stated their willingness to buy the part fenced In provided It was shown that it formed a portion of the Huntington lot. The board will Investigate and It found that the part fenced in belongs to the county friendly proceedings will be brought In the court to reclaim It. The board expects to be In session the entire week. DEFENSE IN BALL1ETT CASE Expert to Be Put on to Show Mine Could Be Mad a Paylna; Pronerty. DES MOINES, June 3.

All the union machinists of this city went out on a strike this morning. They found that the employers had not agreed to their demands, and therefore acted in accord with their declaration made the last Friday tbat an agreement must be signed by Mon day morning or not a man would work. All the union plumber, ga and steam fitters ot the city are on strike today. They refused to go to work this morning unless the master plumbers signed a new scale. They had notified the employers ot a de mand several weeks ago, and fixed June 1 a the time they would look for an Increase. The plumbers want $3.60 per day for eight hours. The gas and steam fitters want the same wages. The differences will probably be fought, as the master plumbers ' say they will not give 13.60 per day tor I part of the men employed, though they! micht h wininir tn mv it fnr th lonriino- plumbers, who can take a job and figure on it and carry on the work without loss of time or money.

Cochran bad deposited In the bank at a time when It wa reputed to be solvent $2,139.93, as a trust fund, and he asked to have thl de- lared a, preferred claim. Judge Green held It to be a general deposit and the executor had no rights not common to all the cred itor ot the bank. In an opinion preferred by Judge Sherwin the Iowa supreme court today holds that as the deposit was ot a trust fund It was not a general deposit and should not have been mingled with the or dinary funds of the bank hence the claim should have been declared a preferred one.
