LEWIS CUTLER T UORTICIAN. ft rVurl St . riin-1l White 'Phn - BLUFFS. CLOUD ON TELEPHONE TITLE Oomtj Attorney Ho'.da Nebraska Company Hai No Franchise in Oity. SAYS THE PROCEEDINGS WERE IRREGULAR Urlna-a I p Same Point of Law the Com pany Itself Raised Akalnst Validity of an Ordinance of City of Mlndea. . "Is the franchise tinder which the Na braska Telephone company operating in Council Bluffs a valid one?" This Is the duration which County Attorney Klllpack baa decided to ask the courts to deter mine. The county attorney contends tint the company has not, and. In fact, never did have, a valid franchise, and yesterday served original notice of aa action In quo warranto In the name or the state of Iowa against It. The notice of suit, which wsa served on A, P. Fair, local manager of the Nebraska Telephone company, yesterday afternoon, sets forth that action would be brought on tho grounds "that you are wrongfully and Illegally using and occupying the streets, alleys and public grounds of Council Bluffs with a telephone line and system; that you are asserting and exercising the rights and privileges of a franchise for a telephone, system in said city while In fact you have no franchise or light of any kind to use the streets, alleys and public grounds of said city, and plalntht will ask to have yeu ousted from such public grounds." County Attorney Ktllpack. when asked on what grounds he based his contemplated action, stated that he contended thft the ordinance granting the Nebraska Telephone company a franchise had not been passed In the manner required by law, and that, therefore, the franchise was null and Told. There was nothing, he said, in the rec ords of the city council to show that a roll call had been taken on the passage of the ordinance, and that there waa no record of the yea and nay vote as required by law. Mr. Klllpack said he had ex amined the records of the proceedings of the city council and that while the roll call may have been taken, and probably was, on the passage of the -ordinance there is no record of the vote. The failure to record the yea and nay vote, the county attorney holds, was fatal to the ordinance and the franchise granted by it. The or dinance conveying to the Nebraska Tele phone company a franchise for an Indef inite number of years was passed by the city council October 8, 1888. Hoist by Owa Petard. At the January term of the district court In this city in the case of the Town of Mlnden against Henry Hesley, In which it was sought to Impose a fine upon the defendant under an ordinance, the defend ant contended (bat the ordinance was null and void for the reason that the records of the city council failed to show the yea and nay vote at the time of its passage, aa required by law. Judge, Thornell sustained the contention and ruled that the ordinance had never been properly passed and, there, fore, was of no effect. . It is on this ruling that County Attorney Klllpack bases his action against the telephone company. When asked if this action was being brought at the Instigation of parties In terested In any of the proposed new In dependent telephone companies, Mr. Ktll pack said It was not, and that. he. had decided to bring the suit "tor the public welfare." He stated that the petition would be filed on or before Friday of this week, in time for the January session of the district court, over which Judge Thor nell will preside. "It will be no fault of mine If the suit is not triad at the next term," remarked Mr. Klllpack. He said further that he was determined to see whether the company had the right to con tinue to claim everything In sight and out of sight, and charge the public exorbitant rates for an Indifferent service. This' action on the rift of the county attorney at the time when the air It full of rumors of Independent telephone com panies proposing to enter Council Bluffs Is regarded as significant, and give rise to the suspicion that there are others In terested In the proceedings besides Mr. Klllpack.

DISCOVER DEAD MAN'S IDENTITY Richard Baker, Son of Former Well Known Cltlaen, Vlctli Wabash Engine. of The man run down and killed Saturday evening by a Wabash switch engine was identified yesterday as Rtchsrd Baker, who lived with hia mother, Mra. Eliza Baker, at 2205 South Tenth street. Baker had been working for several months for J. Katelman, a Junk dealer on South Main street. He wss the son of the late Dr. Bker and the family at ons time was In affluent circumstances. The Identity waa not discovered until after the Inquest had been held.

In addition to their testimony the written atatenient of C. D. McGhee, who, with his belongings, occupied one ot the cars being switched, enroute to Mont rose, Kan., waa presented to the Jury.

The Jury, con sitting of E. H. Ohlendorf. W. McFadden and M. S. Roop, returned a verdict of acci dental death and exonerated the railroad company and Its employes. Fine Art Bibles at Deloaaj's.

DISCUSS CONDUIT ORDINANCE Some of the Aldermen Suspicions There Is Some Hidden Motive Behind It. A petition urging the passage of the ordi nance providing for the placing of all tele phone wires In underground conduits, signed by over 100 of the leading business and professional men of the city, was pre sented at a meeting ot the city council last night and t-fee ordinance was informally discussed by the aldermen In committee of the whole, but no action taken. Aldermen TInley and Casper stated they were of the opinion that there was some hidden motive back of the ordinance and objected to any action being taken on It until they had time to further investigate it. Attorney Wadswortb, on behalf of Hoi lenbeck Bros., In whose Interest the measure was Introduced, explained the pur pose of the ordinance and contended that it was a good business proposition for the city, as the time would surely come when all wires would have to go under ground. Alderman Lovett spoke In favor of the or dinance and showed that In other cities the first wires to go under ground were these of the telephone companies. This, he ex plained, was because the telephone compa nies used a great many more wires thsn other concerns. Alderman Lovett also ex pressed the opinion that if the telephone company was willing to place Its wires under ground, as it was stated It would be, the ordinance would work no hardship on anyone and the city would thus be bene fited by the removal of part ef the wires Incumbering the streets. At the session of the eity council the resolution calling for the laying of six teen-inch sewer on Stutsman street, be tween Platner and Bloomer streets, was adopted. Cumlngs Bros, were granted a permit to conduct a saloon at 2040 West Broad way. The council adjourned to the regular meeting In January. a motion to adjourn to next Monday being defeated. - Danlah Bibles at DeLosg't, Large assortment ot Danish . Bibles and hymnals.

EXTRACT OF BEEF mams vii A J SMS OLMSTED KEEPS THE MOSEY Payment for Horse Killed in Military Serrioa Held to Have Been legal. INSURANCE TOPICS STILL UPPERMOST Report of Minnesota Department on Des Moines Concern Creates Mnch Excitement In Cap ital City. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Dec. 22. (Special.) Major J. A. Olmstead, commandant of the mili tary department of the State Normal school at Cedar Falls, today received in formation to the effect that he has again won his case in which the United States has been suing him to recover money paid him for a horse. The court ot appeals has affirmed the decision of Judge Mc pherson. ' Nearly seven years ago Olm stead was stationed at Fort Robinson as a major in the regular army. While on duty he lost a horse, which was his own property, but which was in use by him as an officer in the army. He filed a claim under the act ot 18S5 and after hla claim had gone through the usual routine he received 360 for his lost horse. Later the claims of this nature became so numerous that It waa desired some new ruling should be made, and the War department directed United States Attorney Miles to bring suit In the federal court here to recover the sum paid. It was set up by the gov ernment that the claim was Irregular, and that the act did not contemplate payment under such circumstances. Judge McPher son held that the payment by the comp troller was correct and In accordance with the law, and now the circuit court ot ap peals, sitting at St. Louts, has affirmed the McPhereon decision. Major Olmstead has since retired from the service and last year waa Inspector general of the Iowa national guard, but la now Instructor at the State Normal school. Insurance Matters. State Auditor Merrlam returned this morning from Chicago, where he had gone to see an uncle, who Is very ill. Attorney General Mullan also returned this after noon from Waterloo. It is expected the state executive council will Immediately take up the matter of complaints in regard to the alleged Illegal or Irregular examina tion of insurance companies In New York by the state auditor and his examiner. Thus far both the auditor and the other members of the council have hesitated about making a beginning In such an in quiry. Something of a sensation has been cre ated by the official report of the Minnesota Insurance department on the National Life and Trust ot this city, which his been doing business about three years and a talf. The report of the official examiner makes a bad showing of the company's ability to pay the extraordinary sums which have been promised, for of the $1,620,000 received by the company thus far only 318,657 has gone back to policy holders,' and there Is a surplus of only about $28,000 as profits. The examiner finds that the . company, through Its of ficials, professes , to be able to double an Investment In ten' years, but he points out that this will be Impossible under the showing the company was able to make to him.., Officers of the company claim that the. examination was prejudiced, but It is causing consternation. Internrbnn Promotion Wins. Thomas" J. Wilcox of this city has re turned from Clinton, where he has spent the major portion of the last season en gaged in promotion ot an lntcrurban electric railroad from Clinton to Davenport. The route secured will fellow closely along the river and will be of Immense advantage to both cities. The contracts have all been let for the construction of the road, prac tically all of the right-of-way has been secured and the preliminaries are arranged. The line met with some opposition because of a rival company organlred to build over the same route, and on several occasions there was a clash ot Interests. Work will be commenced In the spring and the con tracts call for completion by August next Swift Would Get Hew Trial. An appeal has been filed In the case ot George Swift, convicted In the district court at Avoca, Pottawattamie county, of breaking and entering a warehouse which contained beer. , He and Andy Sandiland were jointly Indicted for the crime and Swift was sentenced by Judge Thornell to fifteen months in the penitentiary on bis conviction. , Articles bf Incorporation were filed to day with the secretary of state for the Buland-Hlll company ot Cambridge, capital $10,000.

The coroner held an Inquest today on the body of Jerry Corcoran, who was found dead In his rooming house. The evidence showed the roan was the victim of mor phine, but whether administered by him self or by others could not be aacertalned. Two men. Burns and Beveridge, are being held for Investigation. The testimony be. tore the jury showed that the three men and perhaps others were together during Saturday night, drinking and carousing, and later that Corcoran went to bed. but that Burns and Beveridge had a check belonging to Corcoran, which they cashed. Corcoran was engaged In grading the Iowa Falls railroad and had been boarding In the city a few weeks. It is regarded as doubtful If his death can be laid to bis associates during the night, but the case Is regarded as susplciouh. Both Victims Dead. Information from Farmlngton la to the effect that Marshal Coulter and Justice Musgrave, both victims of the enraged George Stilwell. died on Sunday from their wounds. The murderer waa committed on Friday and on Saturday it was thought both men would get well, but on Sunday both died. Coulter and Musgrave were both well respected.
