SHERIFF'S RACE WITH COLORADO JUSTICE
Conalns Gets His Men on Train Jnst
Ahead of Habeas Corpus Papers
and Manages to Elade
Farther Pursuit.
After making a hard fight to prevent
their extradition. Leon Lotler and Ed
Moore, under Indictment on a charge of
conspiring to defraud Charles Gregory and
William Barker of this city out of io.000
on an alleged fake' foot race In Webb City,
arrived In Council Bluffs yesterday from
Denver, Colo., In the custody of Sheriff
Cousins, and were at once placed In the
county Jail. Later In the day Moore se
cured his release on a $2,000 bond fur
nished by his sister, Miss Anna Moore,
Daniel Carrigg and Attorney A. W, Ask
wlth. Lozler and Moore reported to every
means possible to avoid extradition and
Sheriff Couains only succeeded In getting
them away from Denver a few minutes
ahead of officers armed with habeas cor
pus papers. The train bad barely cleared
the platform before the officers reached
the depot with the papers to serve on
Sheriff Cousins. Lozler and Moore, Imme
diately on their arrest In Denver at the
Instigation of the authorities here, se
cured the services of attorneys, one of
whom was the county attorney of Arapa
hoe county, and when Sheriff Cousins
reached there with the requisition papers
for the two men he found It necessary to
also employ counsel. The arrival of Mr.
Barker In Denver with a bench warrant In
answer to a telegram from Sheriff Couaina
helped matters, and at the hearing before
Governor Orman Wednesday afternoon
the requisition was granted and Sheriff
Cousins given a warrant for the two pris
oners. Aa soon as he secured (he warrant
Sheriff Cousins lost no time in getting his
hands oa his men. He hastened to the
office of the Denver sheriff and handed
him the warrant. Just as the sheriff was
turning over tho two prisoners to Cousins
a telephone message from their attorney
to the Denver sheriff asked him, to delay
surrendering the men, as habeas corpus
proceedings had been begun. The Denver
sheriff replied that the message had come
too late, as the men were then In the cua-
tody of the Iowa sheriff. Realizing that I
no time was to be lost if he expected to
get out ot Denver with his men. 8berlff
Cousins secured a carriage, hustled Lo
iter and Moore Into It and made a dash
for the depot, which he reached just three
minutes ahead of the train starting. Sheriff
Couains said yesterday that the three min
utes while waiting for the train to start
seemed to him like three hours, as he ex
pected every second to see the officers with
the habeas corpus papers ahow up. and he

had crossed the Nebraska line.
At the time the Indictment was returned
by the grand Jury Judge Macy fixed the
bonds of Loiter and Moore at $2,000. Yes
terday afternoon County Attorney Kill pack
filed a motion to have - thla amount in
creased, alleging that If not the defend
ants would not be present when the case
would be called and the enda of Justice
would be defeated thereby. As Judge
Green had gone to Red Oak early in the
afternoon the motion could not be submit
ted yesterday, and during the afternoon
Moore succeeded in furniahlne- the 19 noo

Call It a
Conspiracy.
The majority of the members of the city
council do not place any credence In the
chargea of fraud brough against former
Street Commisaloner Taylor by Aldermen
Huber and Tinley. the i-ommlttee appointed
to Investigate hla books and accounts.
Mayor Morgan stated openly yesterday
that In his opinion the report of the com
mittee was but part of a conspiracy on the
part of Alderman Huber to injure Taylor.
Mr. Morgan stated further that It was no
secret that Alderman Huber bad declared
on more then one occasion "that he would !
get even with Taylor and would not rest
until he had downed him." This statement
is alleged to have been made by Huber at
the time be had trouble with Taylor and
sought to have him removed from tho
office of atreet commissioner in order that
the place might be given to 8. Avery.
Former 8treet Commissioner Taylor Is a
republican and Alderman Huber la a dem
ocrat and it is said that politics enters
Into the trouble between them. When
Alderman Huber was chairman of the
atreets and alleys committee last year
he bad troublo with John M. Hardin, the
; then street commissioner, and kept after
mm until be secured his resignation. While
Aldermen Huber and Tinley may take
their charges against Tavlor before the
Complete Relaying Gaa Mala.
The Cltlsens Gas and Electrle company
completed yesterday the relaying ot a gaa
main on North Main atreet which had been
out of aervlce for twenty yeara. During a
heavy flood In Indian creek the bridge on
North Main street waa aweot awav and
with It a section of the gaa main which
rrosaed the creak under the bridge. The
broken enda of the mala were sealed at that
time and were never re-connected until the
company a few daya ago decided to relay
the main. The pipe haa been carried acroas
the creek on top of the bridge Inatead of
under It as before.
In relaying the main the gas company
was obliged to take up considerable of the
paving on North Main atreet, and this was
found to be a difficult task. The street la
paved with home-made brick with cement
filler. "Tha "flllr" hl Mnn . l.

, effectively that the workmen found it al
most Impossible to take the brick up with
out breaking them and thla necessitated tho
use ot a large quantity of new brick in re
laying the pavement, which waa completed
yesterday afternoon, the work being done
by regular paving men In the employ of
Contractor Wlckham.
Street Sweeper lu Commission.
The city council met yesterday afternoon
and Inspected the aewer recently laid on

haa reposed tor two yeara In the city junk
pile, haa been provided with a aew broom
and put In commission again. U waa trot-
ted out yesterday afternoon for the edifica
tion of the aldermen and put through a few
turna on Bryant street. Last night the
sweeper, accompanied by the usual cloud
of dust, made Its appearance on Broad
way. Heretofore the fault has been
that the dirt swept up by the machine was
not hauled away, but Street Commissioner
Oulttar stated yesterday that this nuisance
would be remedied under his management
and that sufficient teams would be employed
to haul the dirt away each morning after
the night work of the sweeper.

man who was taken in charge by the po
lice Wednesday after he had tried to se
cure strychnine at three different stores
with the Intent, aa he admitted, of ending
his life, was committed to St. Bernard's
hosplstal for observation yesterday by the
commissioners for the Insane. To the
commissioners Poe told a different story
to that recited to the police. He said
that his home was formerly near Benton,
Ark., but that for some time he had been
working with a construction gang on the
Northwestern near Carroll, la. Letters
In his poasesalon corroborate this last
statement. Hie despondency, be said, was
due to a quarrel with his sweetheart In
Omaha. When ho visited her Tuesday she
Insisted on going to a dance at one of
the resorts. He protested, but in vain,
crossed over to Council Bluffs and after
spending the night brooding over bis
supposed troubles decided to end his life.
He told the commissioners that he had
gotten over the suicidal Idea. The police !

at Creston, whether Poe is the man wanted I
there to answer a charge of highway rob
bery. Two Games on Saturday.

Charles Scarber, commonly known as
"Shorty." He was for many years proprtc

DES MOINES, Nov. 6 (Special.) An
other turn was given in the fight of the
trick combine of this city against the
makers of asphalt paving. Some time ago

straining order to prevent the paving of
certain streets In East Des Moines with
asphalt, the reason being that it was al
leged the asphalt was made by a trust anl
the contracts were against public policy.
The property owners along the streets
who will have to pay for the paving bad
asked for asphalt and there was little op
position to It except among the makers ot
brick in Des Moines who act together tor
the purpose of controlling the paving busi
ness. They have been engaged In fighting
the asphalt movement from the beginning.
Today the matter came before another
judge ot the district court who dissolved
the Inlunction aa-alnst the council and the
asphalt people and permits the beginning
0( worK on tna contracts already let, but
not fullv .-ntnred into. The ravin mat.

the companies and the desire of each to
crowd the others out of the business.

ALASKAN BOUNDARY DISPUTE
Report Submitted to State Department
Probably Not Favorable to
United States. .
WASHINGTON, Nov. . Lieutenant
George T. Emmons, United States navy,
retired, haa made to the secretary of state
hla report upon the reaults ot hla Investi
gation along the Alaskan boundary ot
certain stories which have found frequent
repetition In late yeara to the effect that
monuments have been discovered, mark
ing the real boundary line between Alaska
and the British Northwest Territory at a
point many more leagues from the sea
than tbe British have been willing to ad
mit.
Lieutenant Emmons waa selected for tbo
work of Inquiry because he was thoroughly
familiar with tbe country In which the
supposed boundary atones exist. He spent
much of tbe last summer In tbe region and
now has reached a conclusion.
Tbe State department at this time will
not make the report public. The inquiry
Is regarded as but one chapter In a long
series of Investigations which have been
going on tor the last ten years under the
auspices of the State department. It la
said that the department has Investigated
promptly every rumor bearing on tbe ex
istence of boundary monuments, which
preesnted tbe least appearance ot plausi
bility. Lieutenant Emmona declares that ho
has not breathed a word ot the nature
of tie conclusions to anyone except the
officials here in Washington. Still, it is
regarded as a fair conjecture that he has
not found the atones that exist to be bound
ary monumenta, else the State department
would regard as Incumbent upon it to take
steps to bring that fact to the attention
of the British government, with a view
In securing a rectification of the present
temporary boundary.
Instead of doing thla, tbe report has
been referred to ex-Secretary John W.
Foster and Senator Fairbanks for their
Information. They are memebrs of tho
high joint commission, which was charged
with the settlement of the Alaakan bound
ary queatlon, among many other Important
matters.
