ASSAULT WAS UNPROVOKED
Companion of Roderick Says Mojer
Had No rart In Quarrel
Beforo Being Struck.

erick and John Williams, charged with
causing the death of Railway Mall Clerk
Moyer, will. It is expected, not be had be
fore Justice Bryant before Saturday. Wil
liams has made a statement to Chief of
Police Tlbblts which In part la contradic
tory to that Of Roderick and Indicates that
Moyer was the victim of an unprovoked as
ault. He said that Moyer took no part In
the quarrel In front of the C res ton House
saloon and made no attempt whatever to
strike Roderick. Moyer, accbrdlng to Wll
llama' statement, was standing apart from
the other men and was apparently consid
erably under the influence of liquor. Wll
. llama said he slapped the man who made
the Insulting remark to him and that Rod
erlck went up to Moyer and dealt blm a
. terrific blow in the face, the force of which
lifted the unfortunate man clear off his
feet and hurled blm backward to the pave
tnent, his head crashing against the stone
sidewalk. The rest of Williams' statement
was substantially the same as that of Rod
erlck.
From Williams the police learned that
the three young men in Moyer'a company
at the time of the assault were Frank
Cook, Roy Keller and William FrUby. The
residences of the three young fellows is
known to the authorities and they will be
called as witnesses at the preliminary
hearing Saturday. Up to last evening the
police had mads no effort to secure any
statements from the three young fellows.
The remains of Clark Moyer were shipped

BLUFFS.
HARD TO PICK THE WINNERS
Republican Situation, to Far ai Tws Of
ficer! At Concerned, ii Mixed.
FIVE WANT TO BE CLERK OF THE COURTS
One Less Entry la the Race for
County Attorney, bat Form Play
ers Are Fully as Mack
In the Dark.
The arproachlng republican county con
vention, which will be held next Tuesday,
Is causing but little stir in local political
circles, although several of the candidates
are said to be making fairly active can
vasses. Chief interest centers in the nom
inations for county attorney and clerk of
the district court, as there are several
candidates for each of these nominations.
Things are badly mixed up and It would be
hard even with the convention as close as
It is to pick out the winners. This is the
opinion expressed by many leading mem
bers of the republican party In Council
Bluffs yesterday.
There are five active candidates for the
nomination for clerk of the district court,
Freeman L. Reed, who, seeks a renomlna
tlon and, according to his friends. Is sure
to get it; H. V. Batter, deputy clerk at
Avoca, who is sanguine of success and
says he will go into the convention wun
solid delegations from Knox, Layton and
Lincoln townships aa a starter; O. O.
Balrd, deputy clerk at Council Bluffs,, who
is an old-time republican war horse and
party leader in the' Second ward and who
undoubtedly will have a strong following
In the convention, especially among the
city delegates; Harry M. Brown, deputy
clerk of the superior court and chairman of
the city central committee, whose friends
assert be will be heard from in no uncer
tain terms when the roll is called, and K.
E. Sayles, assistant ticket agent at the
Union Pacific transfer depot and former al-dertnan-at-large.
.
Fonr for County Attorney.
For the nomination for county attorney
the present incumbent, W. H. KUlpack, la
willing to accept a renomlnatlon and has
so declared himself, but is not making a
very strenuous campaign. His friends
and be baa a large and powerful following
in the county precincts are sanguine that
the nomination will again fall to him.
Clem Kimball, assistant county attorney,
wants to drop the "assistant" from bis
title and is making an active but dignified
canvass. John M. Galvln Is regarded as a
strong candidate and bis friends and sup
porters see no reason why the lightning
should not strike his way. There is some
talk of J. J. Hess' name being brought be
fore the convention In connection with this
nomination, although up to date Mr. Hess
has declined to be considered as a candi
date. R. V. Innes has a clear field for renom
lnatlon for county auditor, no one having
appeared yet as willing to contest It with
blm. Elmer E. Smith will, It is generally
conceded, receive a renomlnatlon . for
county reoorder, although D. H. Bailey,
ticket agent at Loveland, has announced
himself as a candidate.
Allan Bullls, who was appointed to fill
the unexpired term of Supervisor B. G.
Auld, and Henry Brandes are both candi
dates for the nominations for members of
the county board and aa yet have the field
all to themselves.
For the township nominations It is be
lieved that Justice Carson will be nom
inated by acclamation for one of the can
didates for that office, while Justice Bry
ant will have an opponent in the person
of Ovlde Vlen, who held the office before
him for four terms. Lee Albert I and
Hiram Balrd, the preaent incumbents, are
the only two candidates mentioned to date
for the nominations for constables. It is
likely, however, before the convention rolls
around that there will be other aspirants
In the field.
Mayne for Temporary Chairman.
County Chairman Wright announced
yesterday that George H. Mayne would
be temporary chairman, of the republican
county convention next Tuesday. Mr.
Mayne is one of the younger members
of the bar, who has the reputation of being
quite an orator.
The primaries to select delegates to the
county convention will be held Saturday
evening, and as far as appears on the
surface, they will be entirely devoid of any
exciting contests.
The democrats of Pottawattamie county
will, it Is said, inaugurate a new policy In
the conduct of their campaign this fall
The nominations for the several offices
will be tendered to candidates willing to
accept them on the express understanding
that they will not be asked to contribute
to a party campaign fund. In other words,
the candidates will be left to their own
resources to make the campaign as they
deem best. Louis Zurmuehlen, Jr., It Is
said, Is willing to accept tha nomination
for clerk of the district court on thess
conditions. T. E. Casady is talked of as
the likely democratic nominee for county
attorney. As yet candidates for ths other
nominations have not made themselves
known.

time In two weeks the residence of J. W,
Peregoy wss visited by a thief. Ths fam
ily bad not retired tor ths night when a
noiss of someone moving about In Mr. Pere
goy's bedroom wss heard. One of ths fam
ily went to investigate and as hs did so
the thief made a dash down the ball and
out of the front door. It was found ths
thief had secured a gold watch and chain,
but had overlooked a valuable Masonic
ring with diamond setting, which was on
the table beside the watch. It Is thought
the thief entered the house by unlocking
the front door with a skeleton key and left
the door open in order to facilitate his es
cape In the event of being discovered.

Artlaelal Ice Plant Burns.
Tbs artificial lee plant at Mynster
springs, north of the city, was burned to
the ground Monday afternoon. Ths build
Ing was formerly used ss a bottling works
and the machinery la said to bave belonged
to William Crauss of Omaha, who rscently
purchased tbs plant and business from
Henry Saulsbum. The machinery consisted
of a gaaoliae eagiae, ammonia compressor
a number of tanks and vats and coosldsra-
bl piping. According to the men at work
the fire started at the Ignltor of the gaso
line engine. It spread with rapidity and In
a few seconds the entire building, an old
frame structure, was In flames. When the
flames reached the ammonia tank there was
aa explosion and the machinery was blown
to pieces. Insurance of $2,600 was taken
out on the contents of the building last
Saturday. The building was insured for
1200.
OBJECT TO CIVIL MARRIAGES
Ministerial Association Discusses the
Prevailing Favoritism for
Justices.
While the pastors of the city forming the
membership of the Council Bluffs Minis
terial association Insist that they do not
look with covetous eyes upon the fees, they
are firmly of the opinion that "the cause of
religion and the sanctity of the marrlags
Is greatly lowered" by so many wedding
ceremonies being performed by the Justices
of the peace. In other words, they protest
against the prevalence of civil marriages.
The subject was discussed at the meeting
of the Ministerial association Monday and
Pastor Calfee of the Broadway Methodist
church was outspoken in his arraignment of
civil marriages, the prevalence of which he
attributed to the low fee charged by the
Justices of the peace. After stating that
the general Impression that the ministers
were lining their pockets with gold per
forming the marriage ceremony for the
hundreds of people who made Council Bluffs
a verltablo Mecca for weddings was er
roneous, be said: "Most of the marriages
are civil marriages, performed by some
godless old Justice of the peace, who baa
no more reverence for the sacredness of
matrimony than he has for the divorce
court. Why, It has gotten so that these
Justices of the peace are invited out Into
the country to perform this sacred and holy
service."
Justice Bryant, when told of Pastor Cal
fee's arraignment of the Justices of tho
peace, denounced it as uncalled for. He
said: "I marry people who apply to me,
providing they bave the properly issued
license from the clerk of the district court,
and I charge them the statutory fee. The
law empowers me to perform the marriage
ceremony and I shall continue to do so as
long as I am Justice of the peace. Mr. Cal
fee's attack on the Justices is entirety un
called for."
Judge Carson, when asked for an opinion,
declined to express himself, but said he did
not think when a couple applied to blm
with the regularly Issued certificate to per
form the ceremony that he would decline
to act and refer them to some minister of
the gospel.

Iowa Crops Are Menaced,
CRESTON. Ia., July 1. (Special.) The
farmers are beginning to feel apprehen
sion for the condition of the crops In this
part of ths state. The continued cold,
damp weather is making its impression on
the corn, which Is now at a standstill and
showing signs of falling vitality, and is
full of weeds. The hay is almost ready
to cut, but it is Impossible to get in the
fields on account of the wet condition of
ths ground. Many fields of oats have
fallen down, so it will be hard work to
harvest them, and signs of rust are de
veloping. One of the heaviest rains of
the season visited this county Saturday
night and continued all day Bunday. So
much water fell that it was Impossible
for the sewers to carry it all away and
tha streets were turned into rivulets. The
rain was a cold one, the thermometer
dropping to within a few degrees of freez
ing point.
Menace Temperance Editor.
CRESTON. Ia., July 1. (Special.) What
appears to be a manifestation of ths dis
pleasure of the saloon element of the
city over the policy of the Searchlight, a
new prohibition paper of Creston, has Just
come to light. The paper has been in op
eration for three weeks and has been
bitter in its attacks, causing much com
plaint among the saloon men. When tha
editor, E. R. Button, went to open his
office today he found a rope tied to the
doorknob with a noose In the end of It snd
a brick lying on the threshold. This was
taken by the temperance people to be a
covert threat of violence on the part of
the whisky element, and they have taken
steps to havs the property of the paper
and its editor guarded.
Iowa Crops Hot Injured.
DES MOINES, July l.--With reports from
ninety-seven counties out of ninety-nine
Director Sage of the Iowa bureau and crop
service declsred this morning that the Iowa
crops were standing ths cold weather and
heavy rains remarkably well and that the
predictions of damags and loss were purely
visionary. He declares that the bulk of the
corn crop Is below ths averages, but be
lieves that good weather will bring it out.
The yield will be all that could be asked.
Iowa Stat News Notes.
Travelers reDort much Injury to corn In

Harvest Is on In southern Iowa. Ths
grain is considerably lodged in places, but
ths yield Is at least fair, and in many
places strong, and at the prevalent prices
and on the basis of the world prospect for
a crop, it is going to make money tor us
growers beyond the ordinary profits on
bumper crop. It Is not always ths heavy
yield that brings tne money.

CLARKSON MAY GET PENSION AGENCY
Governor Cummins Appoints Two
Oil Inspectors, Leaving One
Vacancy oa StaffPrepar
ing for Encampment.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, July 1. (Special.) Tbs
last of the supplementary reports of ths
railroad companies doing business in Iowa,
as required under the request of the State
Executive council in conformity with a law
passed at the last session of the legisla
ture, were received by the secretary this
morning. These were the reporta of the
Northwestern and the Milwaukee com
panies. The supplemental reports had been
delayed because the request was not made
until a part of tbe year had elapsed.
The information desired covers the In
tricate matter of the relative proportion of
the business in Iowa and outside of the
state on the various systems, the exact
proportion of the business which origi
nated In Iowa and terminated elsewhere and
the proportion which originated outside of
tbe state and terminated in Iowa.
It had been currently reported that the
companies would not make these reports,
at least not this year, but they bave been
filing tbem one at a time.
The reports, however, are far from com
plete and will be of little actual assist
ance to the council In the matter of fixing
the assessments. The new law has now
gone Into effect and the companies will
have a full year In which to prepare this
part of their reports.
A classification of business Is what is
called for In the blanks sent out by the
counoll. Four schedules are asked for, one
relating to the business done exclusively In
Iowa, another to the business orlglnsttng
in this state and terminating in some other
state, a third to business originating in
other states and terminating in Iowa, and
a fourth to business passing through the
state and neither originating nor terminat
ing in Iowa.
The Northwestern complied with the pro
visions of the law in every particular as it
referred to railroad business, but was un
able to make a division of express and mall
business. This is because the road makes
contracts for the hauls In Iowa. The busi
ness Is charged as Iowa Income and can be
assessed accordingly.
Tha Milwaukee claims that Its books bad
not been kept In a manner rendering It pos
slble to furnish the four schedules, but a
complete statement Is made of tbe business
accredited to the state.
No disposition baa appeared Indicating
that the roads Vrill make a fight on the law
and from appearances an effort will be
made to reconstruct the plan of bookkeep
ing In order to meet the new requirements
of the law. The members of the council are
pleased with the result of the law so far as
It has operated and It Is believed the as
sessment will be more equitable by reason
of these reports than It baa been for many
years.
St. Loals Exposition Commission.
