as a result of the proceedings brought
by Attorney Fremont Bnnjumin to enjoin
the sale of lliur In the saloons owned
by the Blori Brewing company of Omaha
in Council Bluffs a general warfare on
all of the a.iloons of the city tins ensued.
Yesterday the forty-three saloons owned
and conducted by others than the Stors
Browing company were nerved with origi
nal notices of Injunction suits. Attorney
8. B. Wadsworth, who Is credited With act
ing on behalf of the Omaha company, ap
pears as plaintiff In each suit. The serv
ice of the notices has created considerable
excitement among the saloon men of the
city, as they are at a Ions to understand
the animus of the sulfa.
Following up the injunction nulls brought
against the Blue Ribbon saloon at the
corner of Broadway and Scott street and
the Plnnell saloon at the corner of Broad
way and Tenth street. Attorney Benjamin
yesterday caused notice of injunction suits
to be served cm the saloons operated by
Jena Hansen at 230 West Broadway; John
Brennan. at 823 South Main street; Frits
Rapp, at Willow aVenuo and South Main
street, and' M. OConnor, at 823 South Main
street With but two exceptions these
comprise the list of saloons owned by the
Stors Brewing company in this city.
Reminder of Prohibition Days.
Taking up the gauntlet thrown down by
Attorney Benjamin, Attorney Wadsworth
at once served notice of injunction suits
against every other saloon in the city, some
forty-three in number, and the force of the
sheriff's office waa kept buay all day aerv
ing these notices. No such wholesale pro
ceedings against tho saloons of Council
Bluffs has been started since the memorable
flays when the Anti-Saloon league of Iowa
attempted to enforce the prohibition law
to the letter and every saloon In the city
Lad injunction proceedings hanging over it.
The trouble was started when Benjamin
began suit against the Blue Ribbon and
Plnnell saloons and it waa then intimated
that if he persisted in bringing the cases
to an issue, the owners would . retaliate
with like proceedings against all the sa
loons in the city. The hearing on the ap
plication of Benjamin for temporary in
junctions against the Blue Ribbon and Pln
nell saloons waa set for yesterday before
Judge Preston in the district court. Fol
lowing the filing of the suit the Slora
Brewing company moved to hava them
transferred to the United States court,
but this Judge Preston yesterday . denied.
The hearing on the application for the teni-:
porary Injunctions, however, waa post
poned, with the understanding that if will
be taken up some time during the present
term of court.
The notices of suits brought by Attorney
Wadsworth yesterday against the forty
three saloons recite that applications for
temporary Injunctions will be made on
November 1. November 18, November J
nd December 4, a batch being listed for
each of these days.

Bcnjiimln against the Stora Brewing com
pany's saloon Is not made public, Mr. Ben
jHtnln In answer to all Inquiries states that
"he Is simply acting In the Interest of hla
clients." but who his clients are he de
clines to divulge. On the other hand. At
torney Wadsworth says he assumes all re
sponsibility for the suits brought in hla
name and that at this time he has no ex
planation to make. That he is acting In the
Interest of the Stors Brewing company he
declines to affirm or deny.
The Blue Ribbon and Plnnell saloons,
against which Attorney Benjamin first
brought the Injunction suits, are still
closed and in the hands of tho sheriff under
the landlord's attachment proceedings
brought by Mrs. Maggie Buck, the ostensi
ble owner of the buildings, late Saturday
night.
The outcome of the fight is being looked
for with more than ordinary Interest, es
pecially by the owners of those saloons who
have been dragged into it unwillingly
through the controversy between Attorney
Benjamin and the Ston Brewing company.
In the district court yesterday County
Attorney Killpack dismissed the injunc
tion proceedings brought against Mithen
& Kroll, proprietors of the saloon at 1112
West Broadway. The docket shows that
the case was settled out of court and the
costs paid presumably by the defendants.
The suit was brought against Mithen &
Kroll after the county attorney learned
that they had violated his Sunday closing
order.
A divorce was granted to Laura Adklns
from J. C. Adklns.
Tho grand Jury is booked for a trip today
to Minden, Neola and Underwood to inspect
the Julls at those places. Complaints have
been made that the Jails in these towns
are not as they should be. It Is expected
the grand jury will conclude its delibera
tions about Thursday and make Its final re
port. The petit Jury will convene today, when
the law asslgment will be taken up.

Investigating- Swamp Land.
Fred Holslngton, a special agent of the
United States general land office, is In the
city investigating the claims of Pottawat
tamie county to swamp lands originally
deeded to the state of Iowa by the govern
ment. Under the swamp land act of 1R50 certain
lands were deeded by the United States to
the state of, Iowa, the apportionment of
Pottawattamie county being about 400 acres.
Part of this apportionment had, previous
to the passage of the act, been Bold by the
United States and Agent Holslngton's visit
here is to Investigate the county's right to
demand from the government the amount
paid by the original put chasers.
The amount Involved Is small and as the
county would have considerable difficulty
in proving that the lands alloted to It under
the swamp act of 1860 were really swamp
lands, the County Board of Supervisors
will sign a waiver to all claims and thus
relieve the government from any further
liability in the matter. The Investigation
being made by Agent Holslngton in no way
affects the title to the lands, but ia simply
to aarertaln what claim the county may
have if any arise against the government
In respect to the original grant of swamp
lands which had been sota by the govern
ment prior to the award to the several
states. . ,
- As. the swamp lands were sold bv.' the
government at $1.26 an acre, and as Potta
wattamie county waa only apportioned 400
acres, much of which owing to defects In
description was located on high land, the
county would at this date have great diffi
culty In proving, as required by the law
that twenty-five out of forty acres so an-
portioned was really swamp land. The
greater part of the land claimed under the
swamp land act la now good farming land.
me waiver which the county board is
asked to sign will be presented by Agent
Holslngton at Its meeting today.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Nov. 9. (Special.) A call
has been Issued for a conference of the
high school principals, normal school heads
and college men generally, to be held In
Dea Moines on November 27, for the pur
pose of considering secondary education,
and the relations between the secondary
schools of the state and the colleges and
universities. The conference will be held
at Drake university, and the call emanated
from a committee; of tho Southeastern Iowa
Educational association, with President
MacLean of the State university: The con
ference will be for ther purpose of planning
more completely the alliance between all
classes of schools In the state, and pro
viding for admission of graduates to the
colleges direct from the high schools and
academics. It Is in line with the work
commenced at a meeting In Chicago re
cently on the same subject. I
Candidates for Places.
Already candidates for various positions
In the gift of the next general assembly
are appearing. It is announced that
Colonel S. A. Moore of Bloomtleld will be
a candidate for sergeant-at-arms of the
house. He was the veteran member of
the last house, and Is now 83 years
old. He was a member . of the senate
thirty years ago. In the last house ho
waa highly popular, and he desired re
nomtnatlon, but was defeated In the con
vention. It is regarded as certain he will
bo elected. The struggle for committee
chairmanships has already begun. It is
now believed that Senator Dowell of this
city will be at the head of the committee
on Judiciary In the senate, and that N. E.
Kendall of Albla will be at the head of
the judiciary committee in the house, the
two most Important committees of the
legislature. The large number of new men
In both houses makes it certain that there
will be more of a shifting about of chair
manships than usual.
' Refused aa Injunction.
Aa lc junction has been refused the Iowa
Ice company In the matter of condemnation
of Its property for park purposes. The park
commissioners had condemned the prop
erty about three years ago and the owners
were awarded $10,000 for the same. This
was abandoned and Just after the flood last
spring, when the Icehouses had been washed
away, another condemnation was taken and
$2,000 awarded. The ice company refused
to accept this and asked for an Injunction
to prevent the park commissioners continu
ing the suits. The court refused this today.
The fight for possession of a large tract
lying along the river has been going on for

dition to Union park.
