Special Venire Called for the Trial of
W. C. Rovers on Charge of Mar.
de-rlna Bert Forney While
Holding; I p Saloon.
By an agreement reached with Assistant
County Attorney Hess yesterday afternoon
Neley Zimmerman and George Burke, the
negroes charged with attempted criminal
assault on Mrs. Mary Stark and her daugh
ter, Mrs. Harry Sanders, will plead guilty
and take sentences of twenty-five years
each In the penitentiary. Judge Thornell
was so notified yesterday afternoon and he
ordered that the prisoners be brought be
fore him this morning at 9:30 o'clock for
sentence. y
Ever since they were brought back here
from the Fort Madison penitentiary, where
they weret aken for safety, Zimmerman and
Burke have been dally In fear of mob vio
lence and have expressed considerable anx
iety to pet away from Council Bluffs.
Through their attorney yesterday morning
they offered to plead guilty If given sen
tences not to exceed fifteen years each.
This In view of the serious character of
the charge against them Assistant County
Attorney Hess refused to entertain. Later
in the day the negroes offered to take
twenty-five-year sentences rather than
stand trial. After consulting with the
proserin lng witnesses Mr. Heoa agreed to
this providing Judge Thornell would give
his consent, which the latter did.
There are five Indictments against the
negroes, three being connection with the
assault on Mrs. Stark and Mrs. Sanders,
while the fourth was for holding up and
robbing Miss IJxzte Morris, and the fifth
for assaulting with Intent to rob Miss Mar
garet Morris, sister of Miss Lizzie Morris.
The following- special venire of twenty
five Jurors was drawui yesterday on order of
Judge Thornell for the trial of W. C. Rog

AWARD THE COUNTY PRINTING
eol. Paper Loses Out by Belnsj Too
l.ate In Getting Is Hi
Bid.
The publication of the board's jroceed
ings was yesterday awarded by the county
su,erviHors to the Council Bluffs Daily
Nonpareil, the Avoca Journal-Herald and
the Oakland Acorn on the showing that
these three papers had the largest circu
lation In the county. The Neola Reporter,
which is conceded to have the largest cir
culation next to the Council Bluffs Non
pareil, lost out In the contest by falling
to file Its sworn circulation by the time
specified by the board. According to the
notice Issued by the board at Its January
session all sworn circulation lists of the
papers seeking the publishing of the
board's proceedings had to be filed by
2 p. m. Wednesday. February 10. That of
the Neola Reporter, which had been sent
by express, did not reach the board until
twenty minutes after the time specified
and the supervisors refused to regard the
paper as an applicant for the contract.
i ne l ouiKii Hiurrs Nonpareil claimed a
circulation outside of the city of 1,400. the
Avoca Journal-Herald a circulation of 969
and the Oakland Acorn a circulation of
S19. The Avoca Tribune placed Its clr
rulstlon at 612.
While the Avoca Tribune failed to se
cure official recognition at the hands of
the supervisors. It will, however, publish
the board's proceedings for the year. In
order to avoid any litigation on the ques
tion of their respective - circulations the
Avoca Journal-Herald, the Avoca Trlbuna
and the Oakland Acorn agreed to divide
the compensation allowed for the publish
ing of the proceedings. Euch official paper
is allowed 33V4 cents per ten lines brevier
and this Is the amount which the council
Bluffs Nonpareil will receive. The other
three papers will divide the 66H cents,
which would otherwise have been paid to
the Journal-Herald and the Acorn as fol
lows: Journal-Herald. 26 cents; Tribune,
.0 cents, and Acorn M rents. This ar
rangement, while satisfactory to the sup
crvlsnrs, was not officially endorsed by the
board. By a resolution passed by the board
the proceedings must be published within
two weeks of receipt of copy from the

Rev. J. O. Lemen of the Christian Home
refuted the statements of Rev. A. W. Lnn
ingham, agent of the ' Iowa Children
Home society at Des Moines, that he had
on several occasions refused to take those
children Into this Institution which had
been turned over to the Des Moines so
ciety. In order to set himself right with
the county authorities. Rev. I.emen signed
the following statement to the board:
Anv child or children not fit subjects for
hospital or Insane treatment and upon
whom there Is no Just clulm of other
parties which they are unwilling to re
linquish, I stand ready to receive at any
time free of charge.
In view of this statement from Mr.
Lemen the board rejected the claim of
Rev. Lanlngham for $100 for taking the
six Kutl children and If the sentiment
of the supervisors as expressed yesterday
Is nny criterion of their future actions, the
Iowa Children's Home society will not
receive many donations from Pottawat
tamie county.
Supervisors Baker, Brandes and Dryden
were appointed the committee on build-.
Ings and grounds and authorised to pur

SAYS BROWN HAD MUC MONEY
on of Dead Man Makes F.ffort to IO
cate Fonds, bat Wltbont
Result.
That his father, John David Brown, who
died suddenly about two weeks ago at tho
home of Mrs. Ida Stowe on Third street,
had considerable money was the statement
of C. E. Brown of Melbourn, la., son of
the deceased, who arrived yesterday to In
vestigate the circumstances of hi fithcr's
death. The son readily Identified the body
of David Brown as that of his father.
Mr. Brown said he had not seen his
father since the early part of 1900, when
he was living at State Center, la. At that
time his father had $.1,400 In cash, $3.1(0 be
ing In bills and $300 In gold. The money
was the proceeds of the sale of a farm.
His father also owned some personal prop
erty at that time In the shape of wagons
and teams. The last time the son heard
of his father the latter was working for a
railroad contractor at Jefferson, la., and
at that time was known to have had $3,300,
and It Is known that as late as last fall
Brown had over $3,000, but since his death
no trace of the money has been secured.
When asked If his father might not have
dissipated the money Mr. Brown said:
"Father never spent a single dollar but
what he expected to make $1.25 from It."
Coroner Trey nor. who was appointed spe
cial administrator of Brown's estate, has
made a search among the banks for the
money, but without success. The son and
Constable Albertl mode a visit to the
Stowe home and made another fruitless
search among the effects of the dead man.
Mr. Brown said his father's second wife
Is living near Lacoma, la. His mother
was divorced from Brown anu, wu l n s
vouncest sister, makes her home with
him at Malbourn. The eldest daughter,
Mrs. Maggie Leonard, ilves at Fowler, lnd 1
Coroner Tteynor Is awaiting the result ot

quest. Tho son. while in the city ysstarday mado

DES MOINES. Feb. 10-(8pclal.)-An-other
bill that will meet with the serious

a mile for all persons under 12 years of age.
It also prohibits the Issuance of passes,
free transportation, rebates or any dis
crimination by railroads. The bill Is made
universal in Its application as far as the
state is concerned and Is not limited In
refusal of passes, as the Hughes measure.
Senator Stlrton Introduced a second
measure of Importance, providing that in
cities nnd towns where mulct saloons are
operated L'O per cent of the mulct tax shall

The net legalizing- the action of the In

Supreme Court Decisions.
The supreme court. In reversing a dam
age case from Jones county, involving the
right of a city to excavate a street, called
attention to the necessity for all proceed
ings of a city council to be properly rec
orded. Damages were claimed on account
of cutting down a street. The city relied
on evidence that the street was cut to
grade. But the supreme court found that
the record of the city in regard to the or
dinance establishing ihe grade, at ' that
plare was defective. In that It failed to
show that the ordinances considered at the
time were adopted, each one separately, by
yes, and nay vote, and the court will not
presume that a mandatory provision of
the law has been complied with.
The court's decisions were:
John E. Woods against Evalyn Allen, ap
P I II" nt ; Polk county. Judge Prouty; af
'Irmed by Deemer.
Francetown Havings Bank, appellant,
