able diamond, whic h he had reset In a ring.
Bunting's Indictment like thst of Harry

LAST OF OLD BOSD ISII2 PAID
RlafTa Interested la Horse Show.
Council Bluffs people are taking consid
erable interest In the forthcoming horse
show at the Auditorium In Omaha and the
more so since a distinct compliment has
been paid by the management to Mr. W.
F. Sapp of this city in requesting Mm to
act as master of ceremonler.. This com
pliment, however. Is well deserved, as Mr.
Sapp is well known In Omaha and this city
as one of the leading amateur horsemen of
this section of the country- Mr. Sapp has
for years been a familiar personage at ail
driving meets and other horse events In
the two cities, there being few occasions

(From a Staff Correspondent )
PES MOINES. Sept. St. (Special. ) The j
supreme court of Iowa today tiled the nrai i
opinions for the present term of court,
tnoluding three criminal cases. In the
case of William Fuller, who was con
victed In Monroe county of manslaughter i
on an Indictment for murder In the first
degree. the. sentence of five years was
affirmed. In the case of Frank Puffy
from Fayette county a new trial waa
granted. He - Is serving fifteen years for j
robbery and the court erred in failing to ;
Instruct also as to assault and battery and '
assault with Intent to rob. A case from :
Mahaska county involving a house of 111
fame was affirmed.
A remarkable libel case waa reveraed.
being a case in which an Insurance agect
sued the Marshalltown Times-P.i public an
for libel, and the court threw it out be
cause the article was not libelous and no
damages were rliown. The higher court
says the article, which was a facetious
writeup of the escapades cf the plaintiff, j
was libelous per so and the Jury should
have leen allowed to decide whether it
was Justified and whether or not there
was -actual damages.
Iowa speakers Wanted nisewtaere.
The republican state committee Is com
plaining because of the drafts of other i
of the kind In which he was not asked to I states on the Iowa contingent of orators
act In some official capacity. The fact
that this compliment has been extended to
Mr. Sapp by the management of the horse
how will undoubtedly attract r large at
tendance from Council Bluffs, at what
promises to be the society event of the
season.

The last of the special assessment bonds
Issued by the city from 18M to l.Hii waa
taken up yesterday by City Treasurer True.
The bond retired was for 1100 and waa held
by a New Hampshire bank.
Between the years 1884 and 1896 the city
I Issued special assessment bonds for paving,
r grading, sewering and curbing amounting
I to 717,90(i. carrying .interest at C per cent. J
i These bonds were Issued against the abut
tlug property benefited by. the lmprove
i menu and although the city was In fact
primarily responsible for this indebtedness
' the property benefited had to ber"the as-
sessment, and as a result many property
'owners were completely swamped, this
being particularly true In the case cf the
owners of lots on lower Broadway, hun-
! dreds of which reverted to the city by
foreclosure for nonpayment of these spe
cial Improvement assessments.
The Issue of J717.300 bonds was made tip
as follows: Paving. 1503.100; grading. 1117,-
1 306; sewer, $!!.?00; curbing. 4.200. Of the
I amount -expended In paving 190.000 repre
sented the pavjng of.Bcoadway and Main
.street with granite block.-which Is wtUl
Serviceable, although badly needing relay
ing. The large sum of 1313 represented the
expense of the "cedar block" pavements,
which have proven a total loss to the
property owners who. were called upon to
bear the burden.

Kidnaping Story Flattens Ont.
The sensational story of the young wife

setback yesterday evening whenfThe young

i night camping on the outskirts of the
j town In a covered Wagon,
j The young woman when brought back
I last evening by Detective Callaghnn de
manded that she be booked on the police
register as Mary Rutherford and to the
surprise of Chief Richmond asserted that
she waa not Coffin's wife, as she had neve.
been married to him. When Coffjn -called
at police headquarters to see the young

young woman was telling the truth. The
young woman declined to give any reason
