Made Against Former Street
Supervisor Will Not
Stick.
John Thordsen entered a plea of guilty in
district court yesterday to breaking Into
the premises of Mrs. Susan Thome on the
night of January t last and stealing eighty
five chickens and a set of harness. Judge
Wheeler sentenced him to two years in the
penitentiary at Fort Madison. In passing
sentence Judge Wheeler stated that he un
derstood that Thordsen had confessed to
enough, robberies, all committed within a
period of six months, to have kept him
behind the prison bart for the term of his
natural Uf almost, but he had been In
formed that his (Thordsen's) career of
crime had started from the time he had
taken up with the woman now under arrest
and who had admitted being responsible for
his downfall. This being the case and in
consideration of the prisoner' previous
good character. Judge Wbeeler said he
would only give him a light sentence. There
is another tnilctraent pending against
Thordsen, but this will be dismissed.
John S. Heller, charged with robbing a
companion, Dee Wbelan, while the latter
was asleep In the railroad yards at Neola,
also pleaded guilty and was sentenced to
ten months In the penitentiary. Heller tee
been two months in the county Jail and the
court took tbie Into consideration In pass
ing sentence. Heller and three companions,
one of whom was Whelan, started from
Avoca, where they live, to go to Omaha to
see the sights. They had all been drinking
and on reaching Neola Wbelan fell asleep
and was robbed. The money was found on
Heller when arrested In this city the same
night.

tenced and hat served his term in the pen
itentiary, but Sadowskl has succeeded In

Taylor Gets Bis Salary.
Last night the Jury in the district court (
onore wmcn me suit or O. C. Taylor
against the city of Council Bluffs was tried
exonerated the former street supervisor
of the charges brought against him, that
he had defrauded the municipality by falsi
fying bis pay rolls and vouchers, in return
ing a verdict for him In the sum of $59.60.
Taylor tued for $68, the amount of. his
last month's salary, which the city coun
cil had refused to pay alleging that Taylor
was In debt to the city. The city first
filed a counter claim of $100 but subse
quently Increased it to $260. The verdict
Is for the full amount of the month's sal
ary and Interest to date leas one Item of
$8 which Taylor admitted In court might
have been charged In error.
W. C. Utterback, a former saloonkeeper
on Broadway, filed original notice of suit
In the district court yesterday against A.
A. Wells, local agent of an Omaha brewery,
to recover $681.40 which he had paid out for
beer purchased from the defendant be
tween July 10. 1902 and April 2. 1903. The
right to recover money paid for Intoxi
cating liquor Is one of the peculiar pro
visions of the Iowa mulct lsw.
The Foster & Williams Manufacturing
company of Racine. Wis., began suit
against David Bradley & Co. to recover
$59.72 claimed to be the balance due on a
shipment of 150 seeders to the defendant
company In the spring of 1898.
Jennie Frawley and her two sisters, heirs
of the estate of Mr. Margaret Fox. ves-
terday filed ' objections to the final report J
of J. P. Oreenshields. In his final report I
the administrator recommends that the
legal firm of Saundert Stuart be paid a
further sum of $200 for their services In
addition to the $900 already paid Aem.
This the heirs object to. They contend
that as the administrator has been allowed
$500 for special service In addition to
$187.49, his statutory compensation, he
should pay the attorneys If they per
formed any special services.

Pickpocket Safe for a Time,
The authorities have learned that Charles
Lee. who was indicted at the September
term of district court for attempting to
pick the pocket of Charles A. Beno at
Lake Manawa, and who jumped bis bail
bond, Is under arrest In St. Louis. Leo,
whose right name Is said to be Knapp
O'Brien, and under which he waa arrested
In St. Louis about two months ago, is now
serving a sentence of one year In the work
house in the World's fair city. Ills term
will expire February 13. 1904, and It Is
doubtful If be will be brought back hre
before then, although requisition papers
have been applied for.
Lee skipped from Council Bluffs the day
following bis arrest .at Lake Manawa, after
his attorney had secured his release on a
$300 bond. When he was Indicted and his
case called In district court last September
he failed to put In an appearance. The
day after he left Council Bluffs the local
authorities learned that his right name
was Knapp O'Brien and that there was a
reward out for his- capture. If the St.
Louis authorities will surrender him he
will be brought back here at once.

The South Omaha packing house have
notified the butchers of this city that, be
ginning Monday, they will cease their
wagon delivery of meats to Council Bluffs.
In place of the meat being delivered daily

Dea slelnaa Sot After School.
Tha report that the Commercial club of
De Moines was agitating tha removal of
the Iowa 8chool for the Deaf from Coun
cil Bluffs to that city Is denied In a letter
received yesterday by Commissioner Loom is
from Commissioner Mllo Ward of la
Moines club. Mr. Ward, after saying that
there it no foundation for the report, con
cludes his letter as follows: "So far as the
Iowa School for the Deaf is concerned, the
Commercial exchange of Dps Moines Is tak
ing no action whatever. We realtie fully
that this Is a matter which we could not
influence if we took hold of It. While, of
course, there are many reasons for believ
ing that all our state Institutions, If cen
trally located, could be handled more eco
nomically, yet there Is no such wild no
tion In our head that this can be accom
plished, or ever will be accomplished."
GIVEN A BATH OF HOT SOUP
Waitress Comes Bark at m. Boarder
Who Knocks Her
Down.
The boarder at the Tremont house ou
West Broadway were treated to a lively
scene at the dinner hour yesterday, in
which Hans Jurgensen, ono of the boarders,
and Susan Swisher, a waitress, played the
stellar roles. Incidentally a number of
dishes were broken, some good viands
spoiled and the law governing the kind of
language permissible In public fractured.
Mr. and Mrs. Jurgensen are not only
boarders at the Tremont house, but also
own the furniture and culinary equipment
of the house. These they leased to Mr.
and Mrs. Solomon, who conduct the hotel,
Mr. and Mrs. Jurgensen receiving, part of
their pay in the shape of their board. This
contract had led to a disagreement and
Miss Swisher, the dining room girl, was
ordered by Mrs. Solomon not to wait upon
Mrs. Jurgensen.
When Jurgensen ordered Miss Swisher to
take his wife's order Miss Swisher refused,
and, according to Jurgensen's story,
"sassed" him. Tbls enraged Jurgensen and
be is said to have so far forgotten him
self as to strike Miss Swisher and knock
her down in front of the other boarders.
Miss Swisher, however, being a young
woman of athletic build, soon regained her
feet and at once came back at Jurgensen
with a bowl of hot soup, which she planted
quarely on the top of his head. This
took Jurgensen by surprise, and while be
was wiping the steaming liquid nut of his
yes Miss Swisher followed up the attack
by burllug all the plates, dishes, cups and
saucers she could lay her hands on at him.
Several of the diners were forced to duck
under the tables to escape the flying crock
ery. Jurgensen and his wife beat a hasty
retreat, leaving Miss' Swisher monarch cf
aii sho surveyed.
When Miss Swisher had picked up the
pieces of crockery and restored things as
far as possible to their normal condition,
she donned her hat and Jacket and hastened
to the office of Justice Ouren, where she
filed an Information against Jurgensen for
assault and battery.
Jurgensen gave ball for his appearance
and Justice Ouren will arbitrate the case
this morning.
Railroad Withdraw Claim.
The -Chicago & Northwestern Railroad
company has withdrawn its claim for $25,
000 damage for the Pigeon creek drainage
ditch proposed in Rockford and Crescent
townships. A compromise has been reached
between the railroad company and the com
missioners whereby a change will be made
In the course of the ditch so that it will
pass beneath an already existing trestle and
thus avoid the necessity of the railroad
constructing a new bridge.
VALUABLE PACKAGE STOLEN
Robber Hold Ip tha Express Asreut
at Brltt, la. Ten Thousand
Dollar ia Missing.
f
BRITT, Ia., May 1. Outside of the
statement of a farmer's wife living a lew
miles north cf Brltt, that she aw a man
answering the description of one of the
men whom Agent John Peterson of the
United Slates Express company claims
robbed him of a package containing $10,
000, not a single clue has been obtained.
Detectives cf the express company and
local police officials have been scouring the

have made no progress. Not a breath of
suspicion has been aroused against Peter
son, who i 70 years of age and ha the
contract to carry the malls from the train
as well as the express packages.
His son, only 12 year of age, found him
gagged with a gunnysack over his bead
and unable to peak. The express office
Is right In the heart of the town and busi
ness stores throiig on all sides. To the
right of the store Is a bowling alley and
It Is believed that the noise from this place
deadened that made by the robbers when
they held up Peterson and compelled him
to open the safe containing the package.
Peterson In his description of the two
men declare that both were 50 years of
age and that one wore a gray overcoat
with a blue striped suit. Not a train had
Entered the town from the time of the
robbery until Peterson was discovered. The
whole affair is shrouded in the deepest
mystery.
DES MOINES, Ia., May 1. Inquiry at the
United States express division offices In this
city leads to the information that the
amount stolen by the robbers at Brltt was
$4,000 Instead of $10,000.
Fully half a dozen package were taken
and no suspicion is entertained against the
agent. The belief Is expressed that some
person In town committed the deed.

NO FURTHER INJURY IS ANTICIPATED
Fifty Candidates for Admission to

In ST Board at Its Neat
Session.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, May l.-(Spoclal.)-The
damage to fruit and crops In Iowa by reason
of tho frost was not quite as great as
had been expected by the farmer and fruit
growers. Director Sago of the Iowa crop
bureau stated today that he believes there
will be practically an average fruit crop
In Iowa, though of course no such crops
as there would have been If the frost had
not come. But the records show that there
has not been a season for many years In
Iowa without a frost that Injures the fruit.
Henry Wallace estimates today that at
least 25 per cent of the fruit In Iowa was
killed by the frost. Secretary Greene of
the Horticultural society make an esti
mate very similar in character. The prin
cipal fruit to be Injured here Is cherries
and plums. The apples in southern Iowa
are reported Injured much more than In
the central end eastern parts of the state,
where there are many scattered orchards.
The danger from further Injury I now re
garded SB past.
Many Would Be Lawyers.
The next class for examination by the
State Bar commission, which meets here
May 12, will be the largest since the new

mission for the examination of those who
would be lawyers. The applications must
all be In by tomorrow and are. filed with
the clerk of the supreme court, and are
afterward passed on by the attorney gen
eral as to their correctness. The commis
sion will have a class f about fifty for
examination, most of them being fresh
from the law schools.
Secretary Kennedy of the State Board
of Medical Examiners has Just returned
from Keokuk, where he conducted an ex
amination for the board of those who
would be certified for the practice of medi
cine lu this state. About thirty took the
examination.
Will Tax Frelarht Lines.
Blanks are being prepared for the reports
from the freight lines doing business In
Iowa, such as the refrigerator lines, stock
car lines and fast freight systems. These
have heretofore escaped taxation and the
last legislature provided that the state
executive council should secure from them
reports of their business and assess them
on the value of their property used in the
state. The taxes are to be paid direct to
the state, as It would be Impossible to ap
portion this to tho various taxing districts
through which their- cars run. The com
panies have never reported and the state
does not have any list of them, but will
proceed at once to secure this Information.
Kew Plana for a Flshway.
New plan are being prepared for tho
flshway proposed over the dam In the Dcs
Moines river at Bonaparte. , The dam has
been a source of contention for years. It
was offered to the state for $25,000 and
could have been purchased for much less
and destroyed by the state. But the legis
lature proposed to put a flshway over the
dam and condemned the right to do this.
The sheriff's Jury fixed the award at $40,
000, which the state will not vr A new
plan for a flshway will be prepared and
condemnation proceeding commenced over
again. The last award will be appealed
to the district court.
