NO SETTLEMENT AT MANAWA
Reinstatement of look Proea to

At the meeting of the Council Bluffs
Trades and labor assembly lust night the.
committee having the matter In charge re-
tempted to take her own life since being ported that It had been unable to arrive at
committed to the county Jail three months
ago, at last sees a chance to secure tier
release .pending her second trial on prac
tically the same charge on which she waa
acquitted once by a Jury lrf 'trie' Hfstrlct
court, and Which cannot ,be held until
acme time ,ln October.
The position of tho unfortunate woman,
whom the county physician, Dr. N..J. Bice,
has stated ought to be In a hospital where
she could secure treatment for the ail
ment' from which - she. is suffering and
which is rapidly' undermining her system
ao long as she remains In the county Jail,
has attracted the attention of several char
itably Inclined persons. The facts have
been laid before the county attorney's office
and yesterday the authorities were at last
induced to consent to permit the woman
bing releabed on a $300 bond provided her
father, who resides on a farm at Charter
Oak, would go her surety. Tho authorities
dicllned to have the amount of the bond
reduced from $5(X) to $300, but it Is believed
that the father will go security to the ex
tent of $600, and the woman will at last
be able to leave the county Jail and seek
a hospital where she can receive the treat
ment she la so badly in need of.
Interested In Woman's Behalf.
The case of Mrs. Thordsen has attracted
more than usual attention, and since her
hearing before the Inxanlty commissioners
many have Interested themselves in her
behalf. Dr. N. J. Rice, the county phy
sician, who has dpne all in his power to
give, the woman the medical attention that
he needs, has been outspoken in his criti
cism of the county attorney's office in keep
ing her confined in the county Jail when,
as he states, she ought to be In a hos
pital. Dr. Itlce, when conferring with the
commissioners for the Insane, denounced
her case as one of persecution more than
of prosecution.'
Hon. A. T. Fllcklnger, chairman of the
Beard of Insanity Commissioners, has in
terested himself in the woman's case and
had not the county attorney and hla dep
uty finally consented to accept the woman's
father on her bond he would have brought
the matter to the attention of Judge
Wheeler of the district court with an, ap
plication that she.be admitted to a 'hos
pital and let out of the county jail on her
own recognizance.
Mrs. Thordsen was placed on trial for
complicity with her husband in the theft
f chickens and harness from the premises
of Mrs. Susan Thoma. i The Jury acquitted
her, but Assistant County Attorney Hesa
had the woman held on another charge
connected with tin ame robbery. a -

Lake Mnnawa of the controversy over the
employment of nonunion waiters and bar

that a settlement seemed further off than
ever.
During the afternoon the committee had
a conference with Caterer Keymer at Lake
Manawa and at first the latter, it la aald,
appeared willing to make concessions.
When the committee Insisted that the
union cook who had walked out when or
dered be reinstated Mr.' Keymer flatly re
fused to take him back. The committee
says he told them that the cook "coulu not

The Trades and Labor assembly, after re

to defer action until It was known what ac

Bis Crowd Going; to Game.
Hundreds of little white ribbons bearing
the Inscription, "Golng7 Sure!" were to be
een on the streets yesterday, and they In
dicate that the ball game at Lake Man
awa this afternoon between the county
and city officials will be attended by a
crowd which certainly will break the rec
ord for thla season. The fact that tho
game Itself will bo better than any 10-cent
circus and that it is for the benefit of
the Woman's Christian Association hosp
ital building fund, is proving sufficient ad
vertisement.' The banks and wholesale
houses will close promptly at 2 o'clock in
order that their employes may help add to
the crowd. The game la the talk of the
city.
v The flrat Innings promise to be the funny
feature of the game. The lineup of both
teams will be confined to city and county
officials exclusively. After the first Innings
the picked teams will endeavor to play ball
and as there are some really good players
on both sides good amateur ball may be
looked for. But the first innings, a good live
rlrcus with two rings and a platform show
all going at the same time would not be
In- It with the exhibition that is promised.
Wth Alderman Casper on flrat base for
the city and County Attorney KUlpack on

County Attorney KUlpack has agreed to
act as "water boy" for the players, while
Alrtersian Casper will coach the city team
from the side lines on h a automobile. Chief
Of Police Tlbbits has declined to act as
Catcher for the city team, fearing that by

any individual member.

Bonaparte' Dam Destroyed.
It Is announced that because of the re
cent floods In the Des Moines river the
famous Bonnparte dam In Van Buren
county was almost entirely destroyed. The
dam Is really three parallel dams Joined
together, and therefore very wide. ' The
surface waa of gravel and stoile. The dam
Is 660 feet long and of this the surface for
nearly 600 feet was washed away. A part
of the material is lodged at a bridge a
short distance below tho dam. The state
condemned for a right-of-way over the dam
for a flshway and a Jury awarded $40,000
damages. This hae been appealed to the
district court and it is possible that be
cause of the destruction of the; dam the
state can secure the right to get over the
dam with a flshway that will probably
cost H.OOO without having to pay the dam
ages awarded. The owners of the dam
announce their Intention of commencing the
reconstruction of the dam and making It of
solid concrete. '

bends. He Immediately went to San Fran
cisco, whero he reopened hla office and
ever since has been engaged In business,
notwithstanding the Postofflce' department
had issued an order forbidding him the
right to use the mails. An investigation
has been started here to see if there has
been any corruption In connection with the
business and the officials here are indig
nant that the Postofflce department should
have allowed Balllet to continue after he
had been shut out of the malls for fraud
and convicted.

Property owners along the Des Moines
river In the southeastern part of the city
are causing a survey to be made of the
river lines and comparison with the original
plats to determine how and to what ex
tent the channel of the river has been
changed. They allege that the river has
been diverted from Its original channel by
reason of the dumpings from many fac
tories along the river banks, and that be
cause of this the river, during the flood,
caused great destruction that would not
have been possible If the channel had not
been changed. They will bring suit for
damages against a number of factory con
cerns for having Illegally changed the
channel of the river, causing the overflow.
