they will not contain the provision com
peMtng tbo companies to furnish space In
tbetr conduits for the wires of the city's
Are and police alarm system. Under the
ordinance granting the Nebraska Telephone
company Its franchise In Council Bluffs the
company Is required to allow the city to
use its poles for Its fire and police alarm
sysem wires. - This provision la not In the
other companies' ordlnanoes and for this
reason tt was deemed necessary to draft
separate ordinances for the placing of the
wlrea In underground conduits.
a When the ordinance providing for the
placing of telephone wires underground was
Introduced, several of the aldermen ex
pressed themselves In favor of making
this requirement general on all companies
using electric wires. It is understood that
the telephone company will not make any
great objection to putting Its wires under
ground, aa It will tend to Improve the ser
vice, but It Is said that the telegraph com
panlea and the motor company will vigor
ously protest against the passage ot the
ordinance affecting them.
When the ordinance relative to the tele
phone wires going underground waa first
Introduced Into the city council, business
men generally favored Its passage and a
petition signed by 100 ot the leading bual
neas men and firms was presented to the
council urging Its passage. It Is believed,
that In view of the general sehtlment fa
voring a start In the direction of getting
the wires underground and the unsightly
poles off the business streets of the rlty
the aldermen will take favorable action on
the telephone ordinance at least, Monday.

Vet Judgment on Breurh
ot Contract.
WEBSTER CITY. Ia., Jan. 1. (Special.)
Judge George W. Dyer has Just rendered
hid decision la the famous case of C. J.
Sherman and John Hanfeldt et al against
Archbishop John J. Keanc ot Dubuque. By
the terms of the decision the plaintiffs are
entitled to recover from the Catholic church
In Williams the sum of S2.430.10, with In
terest at the rate of 6 per cent.
The rase arose over a church row sev
eral years ago. In 18! the church was
destroyed by a cyclone and later subscrip
tions were started for the erection ot a
new church. The plaintiffs In the raise
subscribed liberally, giving $2,430.10. Their
subscription, however, wss made condi
tional upon a (iual language speaking
priest being sent one capable of apeaklng
both the Oerman and the English languages.
This waa under the regime ot Archbishop
Hennessey, now deceased. The church was
built, but no dual language apeaklng priest
appeared Archbishop Hennessey died and
was aucceeded by Archbishop Keane. The
latter held thai he might send whatsoever
kind of priest would serve best the people
from his point of view. The plaintiffs
then began action against th church
through Archbishop Keane, the. custodian
ot Us funds, to recover their contributions
because ot a breach of contract.
Judge Dyer, In his decision, holds that
the contract was legal and that by the
death ot Archbishop Hennessey It passed
to hi successor, snd thst through It be Is
holdcn. Tfct decision further states that
Hennessey failed and Ktene itlll refuses
to carry out the contract, ard that there
fore lb plaintiffs ar entitled to recover
their contribution. Th coets In the esse
are taxed to Keane snJ the Judgment la
made a lien on th property, and the same,
or so much of it s way be necessary. Is
ordered to be sold to satisfy the Judgment.
The case will probably be appealed.

The news from down the Pes Moines river
Is to the effect that the tee In the river
formed a big gorge below the Bonaparte
dam and this backed the water up so that
fish have been coming over the dam In
large numbers. This Is the dam over which
the state, has been quarreling for a long
time with the ownera. Last winter the
legislature authorized the construction of
a flahway over the dam, but when a Jury
was called to fix damages for the same the
aum was fixed at 140,000. This blocked all
proceedings. Now the Ice baa accom

WAS FUNSTOITS ASSISTANT
Filipino Sentenced for Mnrder Is He
Who Aided la the Capture
of Aanlnaldo.
DENVER, Jan. 1. Manila advices re
ceived at the headquarters of the Depart
ment of tbe Colorado stats that Hilarlo
Placldo, a Filipino who aided General Funa
ton In the capture of Agulnaldo, has been
sentenced to life Imprisonment for mur
der. Details of the crime are lacking, but
General Funstou and other army officials
here who know the scout believe that tha
rrlme was committed since he left the
Island, as 'It dors not seem possible that
Placldo would be called to account for
something he was engaged in during the
revolution.
Speaking of Placldo, General Funston
said :
"He was never my spy and the only
money he received from the United States
was for the part he took In the capture
of Agulnaldo. In 1899 he was severely
wounded, being shot through tho lung. He
recovered and again took an active part
In the war. The following year ho sur
rendered at the same time that General
Garcia did. He was a prisoner for about
three months and then I released him. He
took the oath of allegiance and oftentimes
ot his own volition gave me Information
regarding the enemy. He was not a spy
in the sense ot the word that he was In the
government's employ, nor did he ever go
Into their lines for Information for our use.
"When I arranged the plan for the cap
ture of Agulnaldo I took him along. He
did not know the object of the expedition
until we were well under way. I then ex
plained ray plans to hlra snd he agreed to
help me. He became the nominal com
mander of the expedition, aa It waa neces
sary to make natives believe that we Amer
icana were prisoners. When we reached
the csmp of Agulnaldo Placldo rushed in
and threw his former chief on the floor
of the hut and held him there until we
made him prisoner. 7or his part In tbe
work he was paid by the government.

CREAT SKILL AT SHOOTING
George Tower Mat! Remarkable Scores at
Dickey Gnu Club.
NOT A MISS IN LIVE BIRD CONTESTS
Seven Men Divide the Money In Ten
I Ire-Bird Event, with Klchtcrn
Entries Two flood Tursrl
Attn Ira,
Everything seemed to combine to make
the New Years day shoot held by the
Dickey Gun club at the grounds of the
Omaha Oun club across the river a grand
success. The day was Ideal for the sport,
the attendanro was remarkably large, the
entries were numerous and enthusiastic and
finally the birds themselves were of tho
gamest sort, there being not a single "sit
ter" out of ncsr 400 that were trapped.
Easily the feature of the day was the
shooting of George Toozer of Omaha, who
Is comparatively a new man at the traps.
Mr. Toozer started the afternoon by shoot
ing five birds straight In prartlce. Then he
entered upon hla match race with Will
Sherwood, twenty-five live birds, and
dropped every one, defeating his opponent.
Next Toozer entered the ten live bird
event snd made another perfect score.
That made forty live birds straight, hut
the number was not the prettiest part of
Toozer's work. His every shot was said by
the old timers to be as well timed as thy
had ever seen, and he centered his blrds In
a way which many said hsd not been
equalled here. Tho scores In tho match
race between Toozer nnd Sherwood gave the
former the victory by 25 to 21, as follows:
Tooier (301 12222 1 2212 22121 22212 1112225
Sherwood (301... 2oll2 2222 1U220 1211 1212121
l'.lHbteen entries Here.
No better evidence of tho enthusiasm
displayed by the trigger artists could be
had than the fact that eighteen entries re
sponded to the call for the ten live bird
event. Four men, Tooier, Morrill, Wagner
and Fogg, shot clean cards of ten kills each.
Rogers, Gallagher and Johannes made nino

Slddons. who closed fast. Lord Badge tired
and nnlshed third. Articulate stopped very
badly and tlnlilied In the ruck. The winner

siderable support.

and ten youngsters went to the post for the
first time. The honor of winning the Initial

WEINIG STAYS TWELVE ROUNDS
Jack O'Brien Finds In Him nn Oppo
nent ot 'Whom He Cnnnot
Easily Dispose.
BUFFALO, N. Y., Jan. 1. It took Jack
O'Brien twelve rounds to dlsjposo of Al
Welnlg before the International Athletic
club at Fort Erie today. The Buffalo man
went down and out In the middle of the
twelfth, after receiving a ttrritlc right
uppercut nd a shove which banged his
head against the floor and made hi aris
ing within ten seconds an Impossibility.
The contest was one-sided all the way
through. Welnlg did r.ot land a score of
good blows, while O'Bnen, with cutting
swings, planted on the Buffalo man when
ever he pleased. But Welnlg' well
known powers of recuperation and abil
ity to stand punishment enabled him to
stand on his feet and take all the gruel
ling without going down until the fin
ishing punch.
O'Brien fought the fastest twelve rounds
ever seen before the Fort Erie club. He
was In action every second, feinting, shift
ing, dancing In and out and piling In the
blows on the husky "biker" and although
he landed a sufficient number of times on
Welnlg's jaw to win a doxen flyhts ha
seemed to lack a blow powerful enough to
knock him out.
Welnlg waa knocked down clean In the
first round and was hanging on the ropes
in the second and fourth rounds, but his
strength held him until O'Brien had liter
ally cut his face to rlbbonsr closed both his
eyes and wore him down until he was
unable to protect himself or do damage
to his opponent.
O'Brien did all the fighting. Welnlg sel
dem attempting a lead. O'Brien finished
without a scratch, and Welnlg was all out.
The betting was at prohibitive odds In
O'Brien's favor, though much money was
won on Welnlg staying ten rounds, which
he had backed himself to do.
Three thousand people saw the fight.
Three local preliminaries were put on.
One resulted In a knockout and the other
two were stopped by the referee.

peatedly warning Gus Gardner of Phila
delphia. Referee John Willis gave Joe Guns
of Baltimore the decision In the eleventh
round of a bout scheduled for twenty

several good blows on Gardner with telling
effect. In the sixth Gardner came back
with the tactics which characterised the
first few rounds of the bout and relied on
his footwork to escape Gans. The referee
repeatedly warned Gardner, who clinched
at every cpportuulty, but with little effect.
