EXCHANGES CASH FOR HAT AND REVOLVER Itch ford Plrea Three Shola and In dlcatlons Are That the Robber la Woanded, Though lie Escapes. Charles W. Letchford was held up and robbed In his butcher shop at 607 South ; Main street, by a lone highwayman shortly after 8 o'clock last evening. The thief es caped with between 850 and $60, but left his hat and revolver. The revolver was secured by Letchford after a struggle with the thug and with It Letchford fired three shots at his assailant. He believes the second shot took effect. Tho fellow after the second shot Implored Letchford not to shoot again, as he was mortally wounded. Letchford, thinking he had the fellow safe, left his shop to get assistance. When he returned he discovered the fellow had made his escape with the money by break ing out a rear window. Letchford had counted up his cash for the day, placing ISO In silver In a sack, and was sitting In the middle room of the shop with the sack of money on the bench beside him when a man with a handker chief over his faco entered the front door. Letchford thlnkirg he was some friend who was attending a masquerade dance in the neighborhood ope.ied the glass door Into the middle room, calling out to the fel low: "Hello, there." Letchford was soon made awsre that his visitor was no friend, as 'he fellow walked straight Into the room and thrusting a revolver In Letch ford's face, ordered him to hold up his hands, at the same time telling him he wanted his money and wanted it quick. Letchford protested and the fellow again ordered him to hold up his hands. "I don't want to kill you, but If you don't hand over your cash without more ado I will have to." When the fellow said this Letchford reached over and handed the man the sack of silver and a 85 bill from his pocket. Fight for Revolver. The visitor then ordered Letchford to go Into the rear room and He down, other wise he would kill him. Letchford again proteated, but when ho felt the cold muz zle of the gun against his face he de cided discretion was the better part of valor, and went into the rear room. The fellow. Instead of leaving, followed Letch f:,rd Into the room, 'but as he paesod through the door, Letchford seized the re volver and succeeded In wrenching It from the grasp of the thug. As quickly as he could Letchford fired three shots and then the revolver failed to work. At the second shot the fellow staggered and fell over the sausage bench, calling out: "For Ood'.j sake, don't shoot any more. You've killed me, anyhow." Letchford, thinking the fellow was mor tally wounded and - believing he had him safo want to tho front of Ms shop to get assistance. It was two or three minutes before anyone came and when Letchford re turned to the back room the man was not to be found. The window into the alley was found forced upen, showing how he had managed to get away. Blood on tho floor and the window casing led Letchford to the belief that he had wounded his assailant. The police think It possible that Che thug feinted be'ng wounded In tho expecta tion that Letchford would cease shooting and that he would then get a chance to close In and regain possession of his gun. The thief, when he fell over on the sausage bench, dropped his hat, a soft black fedora. This and the gun are the only clues the police have to work upon. Letchford described the fellow as being slim and tall and dressed In a dark suit. It Is supposed that the man, after Jumping through the window, ran south to the rail road yards. N. T. Plumbing Co..

Mayor Morgan attended the meeting yes terday morning of the Ministerial associa tion at the First Baptist church and after listening to an arraignment of the city ad ministration by Rev. A. E. Buriff, paator of Trinity Methodist church, seized the op- , portunlty to reply to the reverend gentle man's criticism. Rev. Buriff read a paper entitled, "Responsibility for Local Law lessness," and quoted copiously from data which he had secured during a recent In vestigation of the methods pursued by the city authorities In dealing with saloons, the social evil and other moral problems. In opening Rev. Buriff said that the re sponsibility for local lawlessness rested primarily In public sentiment and those who had Influence in moulding public opin ion, namely, the ministers of the different churches and the editors of the dally news papers. At the same time, he asserted, the city authorities elected by the people were the ones legally responsible for the condi tions of which he complained. The Sun day theater and the open saloon, he said, were a desecration f the Sabbath and both were permitted in violation of the law. Hia remarks concerning the Ones Im posed monthly by the city on fallen women were particularly cauatlc and he Insisted that the sooner the city washed Its hands of this nefarious business the better. Rev. Burlff's remarks incited considerable dis cussion among the ministers present, who, while taking exception to some of them, endorsed them aa a whole. At the conclusion of the discussion Mayor Morgan addressed the meeting in answer to the general criticism on the city ad ministration. He explained that there were conditions with which the ministers were probably not conversant. One of these con ditions, he explained, was that of Insuffi cient revenue derived from the 10-mlll levy, all that ia allowed by law. with which to carry on the affairs of the city and provide for the fir and police depart ments. The revenue derived from the sa loon licenses and Ones in police court wsa absolutely necessary in order to maintain the several city departments. Gravel roofing. A. H.

At the meeting of the city council lost night a committee, consisting of Mayor Morgan, City Solicitor Pnyder and Alder men McDonald and Casper, was appointed to Investigate the alleged abandonment of Council Bluffs by the Union Pacific railroad as Its terminal. This committee Is to re port at the next meeting and on its re port will depend whether the city will take the matter Into court. Congressman Wal ter I. Smith, whose assistance had been asked by the city council In this matter, replied yesterday, stating that hi could do nothing personally. He called attention to the fact that In the case of Hall & Co. against the Union Pacific the United States circuit court Issued a writ of man damus compelling the railroad company to operate Its road to and from Council Bluffs as one continuous line and that this Judg ment was affirmed by the supreme court. If the action of tho Union Pacific com plained of Is a violation of the railroad's duties under the Judgment, Congressman Smith suggested that on application to the circuit court of the United States It would enforce the Judgment. The Commercial club, through Chairman Van Brunt of the executive committee, ad dressed a communication to the city coun cil urging that steps be taken at once to have the Union Pacific operate Its line under the authority of Its charter. The Keellne heirs and other owners of property on East Pierce street filed a protest against the assessment fcr the grading and paving of this street, on the grounds that their holdings are used for agricultural purposes only and further that the thoroughfare was never dedicated as a street.
