The lease against Guy E. Moyes, the Illi
nois Central fireman charged with con
tracting a blgamout .marriage with Miss
Grace Waltermlre, was dismissed yesterday
morning In Justice Carson's court on mo
tion of County Attorney KUlpack and
Moyes was at once released from custody.
Mrs. Moyes1 No. 1, .who filed the Informa
tion against her husband, charging him
with bigamy, hat left the city and returned
to her former home in Illinois. Moves' at
torney submitted to the court statement
Igned by her setting forth that she did not
lsh to further prosecute the case and ask
ing that it be dismissed. Thlt Justice
Bryant declined to do at the time, stating
that the state of Iowa was prosecuting the
esse, but when the county attorney tiled a
motion to dismiss tht cats Justice Carson
sustained ll.
Assistant County Attorney Kimball, who
had been in charge of the prosecution up
to yesterday, refused to take the responsi
bility of dismissing the case In view of the

to prove it without the testimony of Mrs.
Moyes. Mr. Kimball stated that it would
have taken but a few days to have secured
from Illinois a certified copy of the mar
riage between Moyes and his wife, while
the records here and the evidence of Rev.
Henry DeLong, who performed the cere
mony, would have been sufficient to have
proved the marriage of Moyes and Grace
Waltermlre here a few weeks ago.

An l'p-to-Date Establishment.
Many people in Council Bluffs are pos
sibly not aware of the fact that this city
can now lay claim to possessing the finest
equipped undertaking establishment in the
state of Iowa or the entire west. Such
Is the case and so quietly has this been
accomplished that but few people knew
of It until within the last day or so.
Reference la made to the establishment of
Charles Lunkley, 226 West Broadway, who
may properly be called the veteran un
dertaker and embalmer of Council Bluffs.
Mr. Lunkley started in the undertaking
business here fourteen years ago, being
first associated with Mr. B. S. Porter in
a small building nearly opposite his pres
ent location. At that early day the work
ing up of business was an uphill affair,
as there were several undertakers here
who practically monopolized the trade of
the city In this line. The new firm man
aged to hang on and in time Mr. Lunkley,
who had never lost faith in his ability to
acquire his proportion of the trade, pur
chased his partner's Interests and went
It alone. He later purchased the building
of his present location, which was but a
small one-story structure, and opened up
for business there with a small stock of
goods. People soon became convinced that
Mr. Lunkley was a man who thoroughly
understood his business and in a i abort
time it was evident that the new location
would bave to be enlarged. Accordingly
another story was added and the building
was enlarged otherwise by building an
addition to it, which seemed ample room
for many years to come. In this Mr.
Lunkley did not reckon aptly, for his
business steadily grew to proportions be
yond his anticipations, and another en
largement of his location was decided
upon. Plans were made and workmen en
gaged, with the reault that he now has a
building for his undertaking business only,
with a floor capacity of 2,820 feet, besides
having large, commodious living rooms in
the same building on the second floor.
The structure it practically new through
out. Opening upon the street Is the pri
vate office. Adjoining Jhls Is the chapel
room, with a capacity of holding 300 peo
ple. The chapel It for the purpose of hold
ing funeral services, for which it is well
appointed. The beautiful decorations of
this room make it the equal, if not the
superior, of any parlor In the city. The
ceiling and walls are Anlshed in the finest
wallpaper dealgns to be had in Council
Bluffs and the artistic handiwork of the
artists makes the room a bower of beauty.
Upon the celling are three panels and the
beautiful colors blend in perfect harmony
throughout. The floor Is covered with light
tile pattern linoleum, purchased for the
purpose In New York City through the
Stockert Carpet company of Council Bluffs,
and required 100 yards to cover this one
floor. In the chapel' a nicely designed ros
trum for the pastor has been provided and
an organ will be placed In proper position
so that the services In the chapel may be
held with all the conveniences of a church.
This room le also supplied with fine chan
deliers, giving the room a beautiful effect
when illuminated at night. In this spacious
room all the finest caskets and smaller
goods are kept. There are twenty-six cab
inets made for holding the caskets, which
are nicely adjusted to the walls and re
quiring but a moment's time to show any
casket desired. Cabinets are also provided
for showing smaller caskets. The cabinets
are elegantly finished in white enamel and
the nicety of the whole adjustment of the
chapel room Is in conformity of the most
modern styles.
Adjoining the chapel room on the first
floor la the morgue. It Is sate to say that
It Is the equal of anything of the kind to
be found la the metropolitan cities of the
east and is certainly surpassed by nothing
of Its kind In the west. Its Interior is
finished in the best cement to be had and
covering this is nicely decorated enameled
paper, making the morgue absolutely water
proof. Its appearance Is anything but that
of a gruesome place that one would natur
ally expect to see, as those usually are la
concerns like this. Mr. Lunkley states
that a body can be kept In this morgue for
any length of time In a perfect state of
preservation so that it Is presentable to
the friends at all times.
Mr, Lunkley's two ssslstants, Mr. Henry
Bcheldle snd Mr. Esty Woodring, are both
state licented e tubal mers and undertaken.
In connection herewith mention of the ex
cellent funeral equipments of Mr. Lunk
ley will not be out of place. Besides far
ing out of tht finest funeral cart possessed
by any similar concern In the west he also
has a modern brohme, ambulance and Stan
hope buggy, every one of which are thor
oughly up to date. He haa also, provided a
lowering device for each of the cemeteries,
Falrvlew and Walnut Hill. These are the
latest snd most modern equipments to the
undertaking bualneas and are used for low-
erlg the eaaket Into tht grave.
Mr. Lunkley's son-in-law, Mr. Henry
Bcheldle, will become an aeaoclate In the
business and will henceforth be actively
engaged with the establishment.
To the people of Council Bluffs and
vicinity air. Lunkley sxltnds cordial la
vltstlon to call and Inspect his new build
ing and t hearty greeting will be given
every visitor.
