them. They were brought back to Council
Bluffs yeaterday afternoon and lodged In the

Captain Maltby, acoompanied by George
Nleman, on of tha boy kidnaped, traced
th tw men as far as Crescent City Tues

After resting soma hours In Cresoent City
Captain Maltby at midnight took the train

rest. They offered no resistance and ad
mitted they were tha parties sought for.
Young Nleman spent th night In Cres
sent City and returned to Council Bluff
yesterday morning. The report that bis

correct. He and Captain Maltby traood It
as far a the orosslng of th Illinois Cen

desperate character, but his. companion, I.
S. Robinson. Is not much more than a
youth. They readily admitted having held
up Fisher and Nleman and foroed them to
aoocmpany them, but claim they were drunk
and did not exaotly realise what they were
doing. They claimed they did not Intend
to In any way harm th boy. They ald that

VALVE IN THE GASOLINE TANK IS TURNED
Express the Opinion that Act Waa
with tha Plaat, Possibly a
Discharged Employe.
What Is believed to" have been an at
tempt to blow up the gas plant of the
Citizen' Oa and Electrlo company was
mad Tuesday night by unknown parties.
The apparatus was tampered with In such
a. way that had not the fact been dis
covered at the time It was, serious damage
would undoubtedly have resulted to the
plant. The discovery that tb apparatus
had been tampered . with was mads by
Dsn Driscoll, the foreman, early yeater
day morning. When be read the big
meter at tha work be at once noticed
that something was amis and Investiga
tion disclosed the fact that ths "by pass"
valve and a valve In ths gasoline tank
had been opened and tb apparatus other
wise Interfered with during the night.
In Foreman Drlscoll's opinion, ths work
was that of someone familiar with the
apparatus and Interior of the building.
Officers of ths company believe that a
discharged employe waa responsible for
the attempt to wreck the plant.
The Citizens' Oa and Electrlo, company
ts experiencing trouble with ths men em
ployed In digging trenches. Yesterday
afternoon thirteen men engaged In digging
a ditch on Avenue B and Tenth street de
cided to strike if their demand for an In
crease of wages from II. 50 to $1.75 was
not complied with. Manager Fritchman,
learning of their Intenttona, decided to
nip the strike In ths bud. When the men
completed ths work of. digging the treneh
on Avenue B, Instead of sending them to
another place to work, he Informed them
that there waa no mors work for them
at present and told them to go to ths
office and draw their pay. This fore
stalled ths men In their proposed walkout
for Increased wages.
Some of the men who had planned to
strike were seen and said that while they
bad Intended to ask for an increase to
$1.75 a day, what they objected to most
was Manager Fritchman standing over
the ditch tha entire day watching them
work. This duty, they asserted, belonged
to the gang boss and not ths manager of
the company,
Manager Fritchman stated that he could
secure all the men Jae wanted, and that
the Intended strike would not interfere
with the work Of tne company lu iaius

doubt but what ths suggestion will be car
ried out, that Oenoral MacArthur and other
vialtlng generals bs tendered th uss ot
ths Elks' handsome clubhouse as - head
quarters during their stay la ths city. It
baa been proposed to turn over to their
use the spacious lodge room and large

There Is no discounting th great crop
that Is being harvested In this county st
ths present time and there Is not the
least question but ths crop of 1891, which
Is regarded as ths best that th atate
ever raised, will be surpassed by at least
85 per cent
The crops of rys and barley, which have
already been harveated. Indicate somo
thing of what can be expected ot the
wheat crop. At ths present time ths far
mers havs Just got a good start on thslr
wheat and It will take nearly two weeks
before the crop Is finished being cut. Ths
weather that has led up to ths harvest
tlms has been as near perfect as pessible.
That It will be a marvelous crop there
I now no . question. In this immediate
vicinity there hava been no storms in ths
last two months to do any particular In
jury to ths growing crops.
Ths ost harvest Is practically finished
and ons ot tb best crops that has ever
been raised in the stats was harvested.
The yield' will be heavy beyond any ques
tion aa soon as ths threshing will begin.
Corn is making a splendid growth and
It Is gaining on Its stand of a year ago
at the same period, taking Into considera
tion ths setback It bad early In ths spring,
but there doe not seem to be any reason
now why corn should not develop Into a
splendid crop, if the conditions rsmaln as
tavorabls now as they have been In the
laat six weeks, during which time the
cereal ha attained its greatest growth.
