MAY CHANCE LIBRARY SITE
Doubt Whether O'.esr Title Can Be Secured
to the Ehngert Property.
QUESTION ABOUT CONDEMNATION
Oae Waa Formerly Favored tho Loea
tloa Qaoted as Saylag Ho How
Doabted Expediency ef
Balldlagr There.
The Inability of the library board to
obtain a clear title to the property will. It
la said, prove an Insurmountable obstacle
to the placing of the Carnegie building on
the Shugart site at the northwest corner
of First avenue and South Sixth street.
It was stated yesterday that the board
has practically abandoned all hop of being
able to secure a title to the Shugart prop
erty, such as would prevent all possible
future litigation.
After the board had selected the prop
erty In question It developed that E. L.
Shugart only had a life Interest In It and
that at his death it passed to his children
and their children. The fact that Mr.
Shugart only had a life interest In the
property precluded him from giving a clear
title to the board, and It was suggested
that the trustees acquiro title through
condemnation proceedings. Now It Is said
by attorneys who have been consulted In
the matter by the board that It would be
doubtful If even condemnation proceedings
would result In the board securing a title
such as could not be attacked at some
later date.. The possibility of other heirs
to the property being born. It is said,
makes thla doubtful.
It Is understood that the members of the
board have legal advice to the effect that
In order to avoid any possibility of future
litigation It would be better to selcet some
site the title to which cannot be ques
tioned.' One of the members of the board who
voted for the Shugart site said yester
day: "It la true there appears to be se
rlou4 difficulties In the board securing a
perfect title to the Shugart property, which
Is very disappointing and exceedingly an
noying, as It will neeeesarily cause a de
lay In getting the building under way.
Rather than pay $12,900 for a site, the title
to which,' after wa had erected a $70,000
building, might be attacked, I would be
tn favor of choosing some other location,
and this I understand the board will prob
ably have, to do. We were not aware at
the time that we selected the Shugart
property as the site for the Carnegie
building. that Mr. Shugart only had a life
Intereat In It. Had we been, I do not be
lieve this site would have been selected."
The library board Is scheduled to meet
Saturday evening, when it ia said this
matter will be definitely disposed of. Many
are now hoping that the board will de
cide to erect the building at the southwest
corner of Pearl street and Willow avenue,
1 the.W. H. M. Pusey homestead.

MATHESON LOCATED AGAIN
Latest riaee Where Man Resembllag
Faritlve is Seen is Slaty
Kl!ea East.
A report waa current at a late hour last
night that George Matheson. who shot
Deputy Sheriff Baker, had been located
sixty miles east of Council Bluffs. Deputy
Sheriff Knox returned yesterday morning
from Monona county, having been forced
to abandon the pursuit of the suspect
t;.oualil tu bo M;on, owing to tht
heavy rains having raised the rivers and
creeks out of their banks. After following
the trail all Tuesday Deputy Knox failed
to catch up with the covered wagon sup
posed to contain the fugutlve.
Word waa received yeaterday morning at
the sheriff's office that a young man an
swering the description of Matheson had
been seen at the home of Eli Jones near
Underwood. As Jonea la a near relative
of the fugitive, there were strong hopes
that the clew might result In something
and Deputy Sheriff Groneweg hastened to
Underwood. Jones said he had not seen
young Matheson for two or three years,
although he was an uncle of the young man
and that under no circumstances would
he harbor him.
Deputy Sheriff Baker took a change for
the worse last evening and his fever in
creased. He had been getting along nicely
but the arrival of a sister Is thought to
have excited htm and caused a rise In his
temperature.

Maud Stone died there and he waa con
victed of murder In the second degree for
being the cause of her death. At the same
time it was shown that he had been once
convicted In Missouri of an offense against
the United States laws. The Btata Board
of Medical examiners revoked his certifi
cate to practice. In order to get ball while
securing an appeal to the court for a eee
ond trial It became necessary to change
the laws of the stste and this was done
and he gave bail. Then he demanded re
instatement as a physician and thla was
refused, but he returned to tho practice
of i his profession. Today the case came
before the court on application for a new
trial on several important grounds of gen
eral Interest In all criminal cases. Crofford

of counties, he said, were under water.
Much of the land which It is expected to
