In Justice Court.
Among the Indictments leturned yester
day by the district court grand Jury In Its
final report were two against the Mason
City at Fort Dodge Railroad company for

township. The Indictments are the result
of a controversy between the Board of
Supervisors and the railroad company. In
constructing its overhead orosslnga over
certain roada the railroad, by driving pil
ing on both aides of the highway left a
driveway which the county authorltlea deem
Insufficient for ordinary traffic. A remon
strance was made and the piling ordered
removed, but the railroad paid no attention
to the demands of the county board. The
piling la said to be of a permanent char
acter and not a temporary superstructure
during the construction of the roadbed of
the Great Western. The obstruction un
der the criminal proceedings can be ordered
removed by the court and the railroad com
pany fined $1,000 in each case If found guilty
of the offense charged.
A number of other Indictments were re
turned by the grand Jury, but only those
affecting persons In custody were made pub
lic. These made public yesterday were:
1 Some Other Indictments.

The grand iury In Its report again calls
attention to the uncleanly condition of the
city Jail. Its report with respect to the
county and city Jails and the insane de
partment of St. Bernard's hospital follows:
We find the county Jail In a neat and
cleanly condition and In good condition in
every respect, excepting the cylinder cell
In said Jail, which turna too hard and
should be repaired at once.
we nnd the city jail In fairly good con
dition, but not ao cleanly aa it should be

methods employed and care given the In
sane patients Irt said hospital confined.
We are also Indebted to Dr. J. M. Bars

COMMERCIAL CLUB IS BORN
Largre Xnniber of Representative Bus
iness Men ln the Member,
ship noil.
The mass meeting last night decided on
the formation of a commercial club prac
tically upon the plan outlined by the com
mittee of fifteen. The meeting was one
of the most enthusiastic of Its kind ever
held In the city and the city council cham
ber was packed to the doors, many having
to stand out In the hallway during the
proceedings. At the close of the meeting
over 100 representative business and pro
fessional men signed the membership roil.
The organization will be known as the
Council Bluffs Commercial club and will be
Incorporated under the laws of the state I
governing organizations not Incorporated
for pecuniary profit. The entrance fee will
be $5 and the annual dues $12, payable
quarterly in advance.
The governing body will be a board of
fifty directors, to be selected by ballot,
each of whom shall pay $25 annually In ad
dition to the regular entrance fee and an.
nual dues. The working bod) will consist
of an executive committee of five members
elected by the board of directors. The
amount that the members of the executive
committee shall be required to pay and the
compensation they shall receive will be de
termined by the board of directors.
The organization of a buildlug associa
tion to erect a building for the use of the
club was not favorably received, the opinion
being that this waa a matter to be taken
up later after the club had become fully
organized and In working order.
The question of the social features of
the club, including a monthly general meet
ing, accompanied by a banquet, waa left
to the board of directors to decide. The
question of the appointment of a secretary
and a commissioner was also left with the
board of directors to report at a subse
quent meeting. These matters cannot be
determined until it is ascertained what
working capital the organization will re-
ceive from the membership dues, etc.

poration and report same at the next meet.

RENEWS FIGHT ON SALOONS
Injunctions Asked for Against Two
for Attested Violations of
the Law.
SIOUX CITY. Ia., Jan. 21. (Special Tel
egram.) A second anti-saloon camjjn
has been started In Sioux City by the Anti
Saloon league. Since the retirement of T.
E. Carter from the active aervlco of the
league the fight against the saloons has fal
len Into abeyance and the saloon men have
been quick to take advantage of the lull.
Now Rev. C. F. Williams and Rev. F. F.
Day, both members of the Anti-Saloon
league, have renewed the fight, and the
first frulta of their activity were shown to
day In two suits for Injunctions brought
against J. H. Young and J. F. Wheelock.
Many of the saloons are keeping open all
night and the league proposes to wage ac
tive warfare from now on. At the time of
the last campaign nearly all the saloons
ware enjoined and fairly strict1 observance
of the Martin law was had for a time.
Count? Rejects Gift.
CRESTON, Ia., Jan. 21. (Special.) By
the actloa of the Board of Supervisors of
Union county that portion of the old road
bed of the Burlington road between Afton
and Creston will revert back to the orig
inal owners and will not be used for road
purposes, aa was the intention of the rail
road company when it gave rbe county a
deed for the ground last December. The
company gave the county a deed which
conveyed all the old roadbed between Afton
and Creston to Union county to be used as
a wagon road and the Board of Supervisors
accepted the gift at Its December meeting.
There waa a condition to the gift that if
any portion of the bed was ever used for
the right-of-way for any other steam or
electric railway that the title should revert
back to the company and the county should
pay $15,000 for the culverts and bridges
that were In the right-of-way. After the
board had accepted the deed It found that
the law provided that after the old roadbed
had been abandoned by the company for the
period of eight years that any other com
pany could acquire the same whether the
.county was willing or not by condemnation
proceedings, and for fear that this might
happen and the county would have to pay
the $15,000, they reconsidered the former
action and returned the deed and contract.
The company will sell what portion of the
roadbed it can and allow the remainder to
revert back to the original owners.

SUPREME COURT HARD ON ONE MURDERER
Twenty-FlveYear Seateace Xot Too
Much Removal of Rork lalaad En
gineering Depart meat Iowa
Fraternal t'anress.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Jan. 21 (Special.) It has
been definitely learned that ex-Deputy
United States Marshal Richards of Creston
Is a fugitive from Justice and has gone to
Mexico to escape prosecution for vsrlous
offenses. Sheriff Anderson of Audubon,
who is president of the Sheriffs' Associa
tion of Iowa, wrote to the sheriff of this
county today stating that he had been in
vestigating the lllrhards caso nnd had def
initely learned that Richards bought a
ticket In Omaha, January 9, for El Paso,
Tex., and started on that day for Mexico.
Richards waa last acen In Dre Moines Jan
uary 7, and later was seen In the western
I rt of the state. Then It was asserted he
was out looking for Carnes, who shot Sher
iff Strain, but this was denied. A letter
was received today from Mrs. Richards by
the agents of the bonding company which
bonded Richards In an estate matter, and
she refused to make any statement as to
where Richards Is now. The bonding com
pany has investigated ar.d finds that Rich
ards Is short possibly $2,000 on the estate,
but may have some property to partly
cover this. Ho procured some money
from the sheriffs of the state with which to
pay his expenses in connection with looking
after Carnes, and this amounted to about
$600. Now that It Is known that Richards
has fled and that he has thus virtually con
fessed complicity in the Hamilton robbery,
the belief obtains that for a number of
years he had been In fact shielding some
of the criminals in the southern part of the
state he was supposed to be engaged in
prosecuting. The evidence against him In
connection with the robbery of Sullivan at
Hamilton was regarded as strong and it la
believed also that ho took with him prac
tically all the money which waa secured.
His friends think that he would hardly have
engaged In the robbery If he had not be
come involved In the embezzlement from an
estate and realized that he would soon be
brought Into court on that charge or some
other.
Confirmed Lone Sentence.
The Iowa supreme court this morning
passed Judgment on another Iowa mur
derer and determined that the sentence of
twenty-five years in the penitentiary, which
he received at the hands of Judge Dewey
at Sioux City, waa warranted by the evi
dence and not at all excessive in his case.
Ben McKnlgbt had on several occasions
brutally assaulted and abused hia wife and
on February 14, 1901, he had assaulted her
and inflicted upon her terrible wounds,
from which blood poisoning followed and
her death followed nine days later. Mc
Knlght was convicted of murder in the sec
ond degree and sentenced by Judge Dewey
to twenty-live years imprisonment. The
court was asked to state that thla sen
tence waa excessive, but declares, in an
opinion written tjC,Juitlce Weaver, that
the crime, as the evidence tends to estab
lish, was a peculiarly brutal and heartless
one, and that the defendant could not Justly
complain of any penalty' less severe than
tne extreme limit provided by the laws.
The chief reliance for a Reversal waa on
the allegation that the statements of the
murdered woman admitted In the case were
without warrant, Blnce It was not shown
that she realized her impending death. Tho
court finds that she fully realized her con
dltlon.
Argue Phllllpa Case.
The case of the State against Jack Phil
lips, convicted of manslaughter, was ar
gued on rehearing before the supreme court
today. Phillips, while acting as a special
policeman at Eldon, clubbed Clarence
Debard so severely that he died. I. M
Tomllnson, for the defense, today argued
that the killing of Debard must be held to
have been accidental, because the autopsy
had shown Debard's skull to bo abnormally
thin, and that It Phillips misjudged the
thickness of the skull and Inflicted blows
that ordinarily would not have caused
death to a man, he should not be held re
sponsible.
The court held in the case of McMInlmee
against Smith from Crawford, In which a
Judgment for $500 on account of slanderous
words had been entered, that an open ac
cusatton of theft is actionable without
proof of special damages and the Judgment
waa proper.
In a damage rase Trom Burlington, where
one Richard T. Barry was killed by a street
car the lower court had decided that there
was contributory negligence shown and that
there was no showing that thd motorman
could have prevented the accident. The su
preme court holds that the Jury should
have been allowed to decide this.
In a tax ferret case from Story county
the county auditor instead of the county
treasurer had performed the act of making
the assessment against property turned up
by the fer-ets and tho court holds this was
without authority. -
