OBJECT TO f AYING FOR DEAD HOUNDS
Large Samher of Dormant Cnaes
Stricken from the Docket and
Others Assigned loir
Trial.
Although it died a natural death ten years
ago, the Council Bluffs Wolf and Pox Hunt
ing club, or at least memories of it, were
, . . . . . , w
orougni to me yesierasy in m buh m iu.
district court. In the suit In question Lewis
Hammer, who was formcly in the lumber
tuslncss in addition to being a member of
the city council and a blue-blooded sports
man, is seeking to recover on a note given
by certain members of the hunting club in
payment for lumber used In the construction
r.f Ana kennels. Ben Marks, who rode to
hounrl. hls youth in the old country, and
' .. ..
Attorney W. H. Ware, who would rather
drive or ride a horse any day than attend
court, are the defendants in the suit. They
were leading members of the WoH and Fox
Hunting club and as members of the com
mittee attached their signatures to the note
for $128.38 which Hammer now seeks to re
cover on. The note Is dated Ostober 9, 1891,
and the interest has been piling up ever
since.
The original members of the Wolf and Fox
Hunting club were W. H. Ware, Ben Marks,
U C. Besley, E. M. Hunter, Lewis Hammer,
W. L. Paxton, F. W. Spetman, Colonel W. H.
Beck and William Maloney. The club started
out with a grand flourish of trumpets, a
pack of hounds was secured from some of
the best kennels east and kennels were built
at Lake Manama. The mounts of the local
spcrtmen, however, were not hunters and
the riders bad a hard time keeping In sight
of the hounds. The stock of coyotes be
came exhausted and interest in the club
commenced to lag. Finally the club was
only a club In name, the dogs were disposed
of and Lake Manawa ceased to resound with
the crack of the huntsman's whip or the
merry sound of the huntsman's horn. The
members of the club had arrived at the con-
elusion that Council Bluffs and vicinity was
not a hunting country and was not adapted
for erc.veou.tr, riding on steed, which had
never been trained to Jump anything except
a board bill.
The defendants Marks and Ware resist be
ing made liable for the payment of the note
OH the cT9''3e43 thst tby lrnel It simply as
a committee of the club and that Hammer
should sue every member of the club and
not single them out.
The hearing wa. not completed yesterday
and will be resumed thts morning.

Mayor Martin and a number of other cltl

his way to the home of his daughter In
Boston, Mass. He has been a resident of
this town for over a year and has at
tempted to make a living selling books.
He failed to make a living and when
bills were pressing he told a pitiful story,
which drew sympathy from all who heard
it. Not many years ago he was president
of a bank at Newburyport, Mass., and vice
president of another bank. Telegraphic In
quiry developed the fact that what the old
man said was true. Enough money was
raised to carry him to Boston, and he
started with a light heart. His daughter is
quite well to do and will make htm com
fortable for the remainder of his days.

WHY THE GATE STANDS AJAR
New Reason Assigned tor Opening;
Denver Passsa-e to Other
Roads.
Railroad men have found another reason
for the opening of the Denver gateway by
the Union Pacific to the Rock Island and
Burlington. It Is that an alliance was be
ing brought about between the Clark and
Moffat t people which would connect Sena
tor Clark's San Pedro line at Salt Lake
City .with Moffatt's Denver, Northwestern
It Pacific.
Whether thts alliance will be consum
mated or abandoned, now that the gateway
has been thrown open, is a matter of con
siderable speculation! It Is generally sup
posed that the Moores made some pledges
to Harriman as to the relations with Mof
fatt's line when completed, which had s
great deal to do with the concessions ac
quired by the Rock Island.
In connection with the Moffatt line and Its
relation to the Union Pacific, a report comes
from authentic sources that the survey
which is now being made from Grand En
campment, Wyo.. to Hog Park, via South
Fork, by the Union Pacific will not be
stopped until the line reaches Steamboat
Springs, where It Is proposed to make the
connection of the Union Pacific branch and
the Moffatt line. Such a route would af
ford the Union Pacific a short line to Den
ver, traversing a country rich In mineral
deposits and covered with valuable timber.

FIERCE WORK OF MOUNT PELEE
Professor Ilelnprln llencrloee the I.nst
Eruption ot the Vol
cano. FORT DE FRANCE, Martinique, Satur
day, Sept. 6. Prof. Angclo Holprln, presi
dent of the Philadelphia Geographical so
ciety, who Is In Martinique In the Interests
of the National Geographical society, has
made the following report of the recent
eruptions of Mount Petee:
"The scene of destruction in the last
eruption of Mount Peloe far surpasses in
extent that of the eruption of May 8, when
St. Pierre was destroyed, and includes the
broad area lying between Macouba and Bar
bet, and Involves Haut Tours de Bourdon,
Basse Polntc, Morne Balll and Ajupa Bouil
lon, where upwards of 300 persons were
killed, as well as Morne Rouge, with a
death list of probably not less than 1,100
persons, Morne Capot and the heights
somewhat this side of Fonds St. Denis, the
blast, however, leaving the last place un
touched. Great cinders fell over the region
of Grand Rlvierre, and Le Precheur Is cov
ered deep with, ashes. In Carbut the eahs
lie a foot deep and nearly the same amount
cover, the ruins of St. Pierre. The whole
of Morne Rouge, with the exception of
about four houses and the beautiful church,
has been swept to the ground and the
greater, part of the town has been burned
up- .
"The recent phenomena were precisely
like those ot May 8, death resulting In most
cases from contact with the terribly swift
and hot blast, which burned and which
suffocated. The sulphur emitted from the
crater during the recent eruptions was com
paratively insignificant, although it densely
permeated the ash cloud which fell over
Precheur. The electrical illumination dur
ing the storm were wonderful and greatly
surpassed those of July 9.
"There was no barometerlc disturbance
to Indicate a coming eruption. During the
time I was on the volcano on the afternoon
of the eruption Mount Pelee was In terrible
activity and refuge from flying bombs bad
to be sought in a hole. The great cone
could not be seen. On the way down the
mountain the party was enveloped in mud
and ashes, the renter of ashes and steam
clouds being almost vertically over us.
"The destruction ot the several towns
and localities was simultaneous, occurring
st 9:10 In the evening.
"There Is much uneasiness all over the
Island of Martinique and this Is Intensified
by the knowledge that La Soufrlere, on
the island of St. Vincent, Is again in full
activity.
"The Illumination of the eruption on
St. Vincent, as seen from here the night
of Wednesday, was most terrifying, and on
Thursday morning the ash cloud from the
St. Vincent volcano carried darkness to
Fort de France for a period of nearly six
hours. No details of the casualties on
St. Vincent have as yet been received
here."
Chun ore la Mall Schedule.
LONDON. Sept. 12. After October 1 malls
for White Star line steamers will not rarh
Quecnstown until 10:15 a. m., Thursdsys,
Instead of 7 a. m., as at present, thus con
siderably delaying the departure of those
vessels. The reason for the alteration in
time Is the refusal of the White Star line
to further co-operate with the general post
office In accelerating the mall boat s rv ce
from Euston station, London, to Dublin.
The company has hitherto contributed
130. COO yearly toward the acceleration, but
it now says It feels it is no part of Its duty
to continue such sn outlay, and the post
office therefore Is reverting to slower trains.
People ot Dublin Protest.
DUBLIN, Sept. 12. At a meeting of the
corporation today, called to deal with the
action of the government In proclaiming
Dublin under the crimes set, a resolution
was adopted protesting against the "out
rage and Insult offered the citizens ot
Dublin In proclaiming the city. In which, In
proportion to the size of Its population,
there was less crime than In any other city
in the world."
