Set Cost of the Property- to the Board to Be s)10,900 Indrr the Amrsdfd Proposition of Sir. Shagart. . Unless the unforseen happens the Carne gie library building will be erected on the northwest corner of First avenue and Sixth street, the board of trustees of the free public library having- by a vote of 6 to 3 decided laat night to close the deal with E. L. Bhugart for his property. The site selected by the trustees has a frontage on First avenue ,of 100 feet and on Sixth street of 192 feet. It lies Immediately south of the postofflce building. Tha price to be paid for the property Is 111,000. to which must be added $1,084 special Improvement. assessment, which the board assumes. In " event of the trustees being -nable to dispose of the buildings on the property at. a figure sufficient to reduce the actual coat of the site to $10,900, Mr. Shugrat will either pay a sufficient sum for the. build ings to enable it 'to do so or else make a corresponding reduction In the price. The motion to authorize the president and secretary to close the deal with Mr. Shugart was made by Trustee Bender and seconded by Trustee Balrd.

The board, however, declined to consider It. Trustee Tyler, In declaring his Intention to vote against tha Shugart site, .declared he was .now In favor of the Pusey corner. Trustee Burke urged that the board give, the matter further consideration. ' , . There '.was . a large number . of .citizens present and they were given an opportu- nity to address the board. Attorney John M. Galvln made an eloquent plea for the j Pusey site, speaking as a citizen and tax payer and not as the attorney of any per son or body of persons.

CONCLUDE FORNEY INQUEST 1 Jury Recommends That Suspect Rogers Be Held for Farther Investigation. The coroner's Inquest over Albert H. Forney, who waa shot and killed in his salcon on West Broadway Friday night, was completed yesterday morning and the Jury brought In a verdict to the. effect that Forney came to his death from gunshot wounds Inflicted by a person or persons unknown to the Jury. To the verdict was attached a rider recommending that W. C. Rogers, alias Frank Parsons, the suspect under arrest, be held for further investl- J gatlon In connection with the crime. Two new witnesses were Introduced at the inquest yesterday by the' authorities for the purpose of further establishing Rogers' alleged connection with the shooting of Forney. Mrs. Addle Powers, living at 1003 Brcadwav, testified that she went to the saloon at about 10:30 the night of the mur- , der and noticed two msn peering nio inn front window. Che particularly Identified j Rogers as one of the men and said that as she was about to enter the door of the salcon, the man who resembled Rogers stepped back, thus enabling her to secure . a good look at him. Richard Organ, son . of Attorney J. P. Organ, testified that on last Friday after- noon as he and a companion were passing 1 the Northwestern depot on Broadway, he noticed three men sitting on the chsln fence lust east of the depot platform. He I was positive that Rogers was one ot tho j three men. Organ's testimony was In con traventlon of Rogers' assertion that he did I not arrive in Council Bluffs until Satur day morning, the morning following the murder of Forne;-. The third and last witness yesterday was Will Chownlng, a cook employed In the restaurant a few doors east or Forney a saloon. He said that he beard tbe three shots and ran to the rear door ot tha res taurant and looked out Into the alleyway but did not see any one run from the saloon. He ran down the alley to the sa loon and looked In threugh the rear 'Win dow, but could not sea any one ' in the plare. . It had been expected that Rogers would have been arraigned yesterday afternoon following tha Inquest, but Assistant County Attorney Hess, who baa tbe case In charge, stated that he did not expect to arraign him before Friday. PROTEST FROM CLERK REED Asks Board to Rescind Reaolatloa, bat the Sapervlsprs Decline. Freeman Reed, clerk of the district court, filed with the Board ot County Supervisors yesterday a protest against the resolution adopted by it Tuesday relative to tbe print. Ing of tbe bar dockets, coupled with the re ouest that the resolution be rescinded. The beard declined, however, to take It back. The protest was as follows: I wish to protest against the feoljtlon adontt-d by yojr honorable body,1 on April 7. 1C"3. concerning the printing uf the bur docket, for the Avoca court, and this fur the following reasons: 1. The attorney general of Iowa haa given an opinion that It Is the duty of the clvrk to furnish the bar docket In the ful'swtng lansuaaa; "The clerk la directed to Iixr- nlsh printed calendar.". Vnless some statute direct." how these calendars are to be pro cured b the clerk. cr who in to print the BHine, he h'l an Hhf .i.ute illfcrellnn In the matter which cannot I p controlled by any one. I tlnl nothing In the statute which authorizes the board ol supervisors by any resiiliitlun, or by any vote, or In any man ner whatsoever, to Interfere with the ex ercise of this undoubted discretion given to the clerk. It Is true the lto.ird ot Super visor must order the payment for them, and It has the right to Insist that the cost of the printing stall be reasonable, but In my Judgment, has no power given It by law to Interfere with the discretion of the clerk In having sjch calendars printed, where, when, and by whom, his good Judg ment may dictate." II. The county attorney who Is my legal adviser as well as yours, had advised me and you. that this la mv duty and not yours. III. The district court has twice held In this judicial district that the printing and distribution of bar dockets Is within the control of the clerk. IV. The supreme courts of Wisconsin and New York, under statutes like ours, have held the sntue. V. You admit In your resolution that It Is my official duty to control the printing of ine oar uocaei. VI. This contract was let bv me to the Avoca Trlbjne. at a saving to the county of more than 20 per cent, for a calendar superior to any heretofore obtained for the Avoca court. VII. Your resolution Is wholly beyond the cope of your offlcl.-l duty. VIII. The statement contained In your rerolutlon that the supervisors h.ive exer cised this authority for the last twenty years : erroneous. Fnr f,ie Nainni T Biihvnt. .lint ia(ii resolution does me a greut injustice and , scouin De rescinded. Yesterday's session of the board was de- vo,ed 10 examining and allowing the usual are grist of claim, against the county. One claim which caused considerable amusement and was rejected was that of E. H.

CHANCE FOR TWO CONVICTED OF MURDER Prosecntlon of Prof. Pike Likely to Be Dropped. Provided He Will Not Start Dsmsge ' Salts. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES. April 8 (Special.) The Iowa supreme court held a session today, adjourned from January, and delivered number of opinions In appealed case. Among them were a number ,of criminal cases and the proportion of cases reversed I wai unusaally largo. In the case of the State against Jack Phillips, from Wapello tounty, the court was compelled to .pass on an unusual question, - Phillips was town marshal at Eldon and made an arrest of Clarence Debard, who was drunk. Debard would not travel easily and the officer struck him with his club and repeatedly struck him over the head. Debard's skull was "Belted and he died and Ph ilips was indicted for murder lit the .first degree and convlctod of mansulaughter. On appeal the case was affirmed, but on rehearing a new question was raised anil It waa shown that at the poet mortem examination ,of Debard It was shawn that ' his skull waa abnormally thin. It was therefore con tended that It was, the thinness of his skull and 'not the severity with which he was struck that- caused "his death, and the court goes' to tar as . to at least admit that this question should have been turned ovpr to the Jury. The case Is reversed on he ground that this defense was proper and was not properly lven to the jar?. In the 'case of .the Slate against W. W. Ames, who was convicted at Dubuque of embezzlement, there waa reversal because the indictment was brought under one sec tion of the statute and by the Instructions of (he court the conviction was made under an entirely different section But tho evidenco In the case Is also reviewed and It Is pointed out that there wa no embez- zlement In fact. Ames was engaged In 1 winding up the affairs of a building and ; loan company and had trouble with a cer tificate holder, who brought suit. Did IV ot Perfect Appeal. The case of M. O. Clemona of. Union, who was Indicted for murder in the first de gree and convicted of manslaughter, was eaullv ritannaoH nt The court found that J "' - th"e Proper appeal, no Indictment, , Palld "e court waa absent during a, part of the trial dictating Instructions, but the .appellate court decide that this was hardly true, as the Judge stood In the doorway and dictated . his, Instruct 16ns to a 'reporter In the next rootn. , The' cose was affirmed. Insanity Cas 'front VMllsca. ' i I L. i -i .In the Thlele- tiaatU from Montgomery county, 'there wSa' errr'ln the instructions of the Judge as lQvkaily. which was tbe defense, and- on this the traversal was made. Thlele had been separated from hla wife and as she passed his 'house In Villisea he rushed out Into then street aad atabbed her three times wHh? a knife, from , which she died In a? few minutes. It was shown he had talked a great deal about his right to kill his wife and-there was certainly support of his Insanity plea. Edward Dennis,, who was indicted wlth Wesley Irwin and Eupene Mason far killing Oscar Miller; a tramp., at Shenandoah, does not get a new trlcl. '.The three men put up a Job to -kill the tramp and Irwin and Dennis were copvleted,,and given long terms. In the case against UMark Vance, who was convicted of a most repulsive crime, er rors were found. In the matter of admissions j by tbe lawyers and In Instructions regard ing the statements of tbe case aa made by both sides. ' ' . One civil case decided ,1s ot more than ordinary Interest. It is that ot tbe Na-' ttonal State hank' against the city of Bur lington Involving the question of deduct ing value of government bonds from, the as sets of a bank In determining the value of its stock. Tbe court holds that no such deduction Is possible. The case does not Involve assessment of government bonds. Death of Veteran Minister. Rev. E. B. Vail, for more than forty years prominent In the Methodist ministry In Iowa, died at the Methodist hospital in this city this morning. He was nearly 80 .years old and for many years was pastor ot the Orace Methodist Episcopal church in this city, but was also on the circuit tor a long time. Some years ago he gave (10,000 to the MethtAllat hospital and as he left quite an estate it Is believed that in his will be left other charitable bequests. Insurance Case Decided. An Important question in Insurance mat ters was disposed of In the district court In the case of Jennie Tuttle against the Iowa Traveling Men's asioclatlon.

The practice of ringing the cerfew bell at 9 o'clock to warn the young people under It years of age to be home and off the streets that was so popular all over the country last year, was used by the officers of Creston and proved very beneficial, and served its purpose well, but during ' the winter months the practice was discon tinued.
