The city yesterday came out victor In the second suit brought to wrest' from It part of the land comprising Lake View park around Big lake In the northern part of the city.. In the suit brought by J. P. Oreenshields against R. C. Howell and the city of Council Bluffs. Judge Macy yester day granted the plaintiff a foreclosure on tha lots owned by Howell, but denied the claim of the plaintiff to the strip of land forming part of Lake View park.- which It was claimed by Oretnshlelds belonged to the Howell lots by accretion or re liction. In finding for the city Judge Macy held that the evidence failed to show that the land claimed was formed by slow and Im perceptible action of natural forces, as distinguished from artificial means, and that the character of the land In question was not sch as to make it a part of the main land. It Is stated that an appeal will be taken from Judge Macy'a ruling on this point. The plaintiff filed a dismissal In ha suit of J. L. Price' against Jamea Coyle which waa tried by the court Thursday and taken by Judge Macy under advisement. It la understood that the case haa since been settled out of court.

Leave the City. "Tee, I will Indeed be rood If you will let me go to my mother In Omaha," pleaded Bertha Libbecke yesterday afternoon. "Please don't send me back to the hospi tal. Anyone can aee I am not craiy." Once again tha young woman with the fainting-" proclivities succeeded In winning over tha authorities and she was allowed to go her way on condition that she left Coun cil Bluffs. When Bertha snade her escape Thursday afternoon from St. Bernard's hospital, where she . had been placed pending the hearing of her appeal from the action of tha local commissioners in adjudging her Insane and ordering her committed to the state asylum for the insane at Clarinda, little or no effort was made to recapture her. All that the authorities desired was that she keep away from the city, as they did not wish to be burdened with her. Fate, however, prompted Bertha to re turn to Council Bluffs yesterday morning and Officer Smith spied the young woman as sho waa' In the act of regaling herself with a melon In a Broadway grocery, pre paratory to doing one of her fainting stunts and relieving the proprleter of the store of hla valuables. The officer took her Into custody and escorted her to the city Jail, where she was- permitted to roam at. large until It was decided what should be done with her. The county authorities apparently were not over-anslous to receive her; the sisters in charge of St. Bernard's were glad to be rid of her, so Chief Richmond, after a conference with Bertha's attorney. H. J. Chambers, and the young woman herself, decided to release her on her promise to at once cross the river to Omaha. When Bertha escaped from the hospital Thursday afternoon by locking the sister In charge In her room, It ta said, she was practically penniless. When taken Into custody yesterday she not only had several silver dollars In her pocketbook, but dis played a roll of blUs. She had on a new picture hat, white ailk shirt-waist and bla:k silk skirt and presented k very dif ferent appearance from her condition when brought over by the Omaha police a few weeks age, after she bad spent some time in the Douglas county Jail. Bertha appeared to be much struck with the appearance of James Nichols, the handsome sergeant at police headquarters, and felt somewhat offended when the offi cer declined her Invitation to psrtake as her guest of a champagne luncheon at a well known Broadway restaurant.. Ser geant Nichols pleaded the excuse of a prior engagement. . - Abaadaa One School. At a special meeting of the Board of Ed ucation yesterday arternoon it was decided to close tha Ounn school and transport the pnpils at tha expense of the district to the Pierce street school. Thera were fourteen pupils at the Ounn school, which Is located on East Broad way and they were under one teacher, Miss Hoffman. These fourteen pupils were divided Into seven grades, which made It very Inconvenient for the teacher and gave tha Individual pupil but a few hours' schooling each day. By transferring the pupils to the Pierce street school and as signing them to the grades to which they belong: each pupil will secure a full day's schooling each day. Not only will the change provide better facilities for the pupils, but the district will be benefited financially, aa It la estimated that a aavlng of at least 1300 a year will be made by the new 'arrangement. The children will be transported to and from Pierce street school dally Jn a carryall at the expense q the district. This makes the third small outlying school in tha district to be closed and the pupils transferred' to lafger buildings'. The other schools so closed were the Woodbury avenue and the Clark i 'hool, located near Oram's packing hause. Milk Dealers Say Kat Gallty. A. C Ellsworth snd George Sherer, two of tha three local dairy owners charged with selling adulterated milk, entered pleas of not guilty in tha superior court yester day morning and the 'further hearing: of their cases was continued until Monday. Mrs. Sophia Leonard, tha third dealer charged with a similar offense, haa not yet been railed Into court. The attorneys for Ellsworth and Sherer declared their , ability to prove that the milk sold by the defendants waa not adul terated and that thera was no formalde hyde In It-snd If thara waa tha qnantlty used was an undoubted benefit to tha con sumer. Prof. Crowley, who made tha analysis of the samples of milk, has been subpoenaed to testify In court Monday. CAR RIB SATIO AT WATERLOO Addreeses Meeting af Fifteenth Dis trict Tempera are t nlna.
