Feder ation Endeavor. (From a Staff Correspondent.) RED OAK. la., June 6-(Speclal Tele gram.) Now that Tom Dennison has been acquitted of the charge of rec King and dis posing of the Pollock dlamondB, the next matter of Importance Is what It Is going to cost the county of Harrison for allow ing the Omaha Civic federation to manage and manipulate Its legal department In an effort to railroad Tom Dennison out of Omaha. District Clerk. Barnes of Mont gomery county has Just begun to figure up the witness fees and mileage, and as yet Is unable to estimate accurately the total cost to the county, but the lowest estimate Is placed between $3.0(0 and $3,5(10. So far fifty-two witnesses for the state have filed their claims for fees and mileage, while twenty-nine witnesses for the defense have filed. The county of Harrison will have to pay mileage to all of the witnesses for the state, whether they come from Iowa or from some other state, while the county will have to pay mileage for the witnesses for the defense from the state line or points In Iowa ohly. This, with the, costs of the Jury, extra deputy sheriffs and other incidental expenses, will make the total cost not less than $3,0u0, and prob ably the amount will be much larger. Boon to Local Boniface. While the trial of Dennison has been a losing proposition to the taxpayers of Har rison county. It has been a bonanze to the hotels of Red Oak. At the Johnson house, directly across the street from the court house, where most of those Interested In the case have stopped for the entire four teen days, every room has been occupied with from one to three persons. One day for dinner over 200 people were fed. To Red Oak the trial has meant much In money and much In enteralnment. Not a day has passed but what the court room has been Jammed and packed by the best people In the town, some of whom, while Dennison was testifying, paid boys to hold their seats during the noon adjournment, and not k person present but paid the closest attention to the testimony. Chancre in Public Sentiment. "It is a fact," said a local merchant, "that when Tom Dennison went to Red Oak he was already convicted in the minds of many people, but day by day, as the testimony was produced, sentiment began to change and this afternoon, when Dennison left Red Oak, In the minds of a large majority of the. business men here and In the minds of the society people, he Is an Innocent man. In fact, before Sher cliffe had completed his story, which stretched out over eighteen hours, four of the Jurors had been convinced that the story was too straight to be believed and it was told as though learned In a school from copy." It was during Shercllffe's testimony, too, that sentiment began to change In the city. As the trial progressed such men as Judge McPherson openly bhampioned the cause of Dennison, and the Judge made no effort to conceal the fact that he thought not only that Dennison was innocent, but that the prosecution was a conspiracy originated solely for the purpose of ruining Dennison. Today citizens of the town whom Dennison never saw before waylaid him on the streets and congratulated him and ex pressed their confidence In his innocence. These men. had heard the evidence In the case. One man, however, there is in Red Oak who professes to. believe differently. He was a man with long whiskers, rather aged, who accosted Elmer Thomas in front of the Johnson hotel this morning and told him that the Jury selected to try the case was not composed of representative men of the city, and had a Jury of representative men been selected that the verdict would have been different. Thomas readily agreed to the man's views. Such men as Judge Mc Pherson said the Jury was composed of honorable men, who stand high In the com munity. Other business men of Red Oak said the same thing to a reporter for The Bee. I'p to Civic Federation. By agreement this morning the .bond for $10,000 given by Tom Dennison un der the indictment for complicity In the Pollack robbery was reduced to $3,000. Whether Dermlson will be prosecuted un der the second Indictment Is not yet known. Elmer Thomas said It depended upon the Civic Federation. Dennison received a telephone message this morning from home that over 100 tele grams were awaiting him there He will leave for Omana on the last train this evening. Connell left this morning and the remainder of the visitors will get out dur ing the day. Connell. "There was never anything against Tom Dennison except rank preju dice. The case was worked up by Elmer Thomas and Other members of the Civic Federation, who were desirous of convict ing Dennison by perjured testimony. The penitentiaries were raked as with a flne toethed comb by Elmer Thomas, and then he objected to some of our witnesses for the reason that they had been associated with Shercllffe in the penitentiary. ills assoclats, as a rule, were not members of the Young Men's Christian association or teachers In Sunday schools. But, for tunately, we were not confined entirely to convict witnesses In the Impeachment of Bhercllffe, who is the worst criminal and the most complete degenerate in the United States. "The trial was full of startling and ex citing situations. I knew that Elmer Thomas and his associates expected to wring a verdict from the Jury on the score of prejudice. We proposed to turn the fables on them, and succeeded .fairly well In doing so. Before the trial ended It was quite apparent that Elmer Thomas and cer tain members of the Civic Federation were on trial. On cross-examination I succeeded in showing by Shercllffe himself that he had received large sums of money from Elmer E. Thomas, Harry Brome, the sec retary of the Civic Federation, and Lloyd Fallon, the county attorney of Logan. All this money was furnished by the federa tion to induce Shercllffe to gio perjured testimony against Tom Dennison. FIREMEN AWAIT THE GONG (Continued from First Page.) ABOUT THE SECOND CHARGE Mahoney Says It's ( p to Iowa, While Thomas Says It's I'p to Civic , Federation. "As to the prosecution of Dennison on the second Indictment, I cannot say; that is entirely up to the officers of Iowa." was the statement of T. J. Muhoney, president of the Civic Federation. "If the Iowa au thorities decide to prosecute the case I have no doubt that the Civic Federation will lend all reasonable aid it can, but I do not know that the federation will take any action unless the initiative Is taken in Iowa. However, the executive board of the federation hus not recently met and we have not discussed the matter." Elmer E. Thomas, the acting attorney for the federation, however, is quoted from Red Oak as saying that the matter is up to the federation. "As to the outcome of the Dennison trial, there Is nothing that I can suy, or that Is to be said, so far as I know," added Mr. Mahoney. W. J. Connell, Dennison' s chief counsel, who returned from Red Oak Tuesday morning, was not trying to conceal his feelings over the outcome of the trial. "You bet I feel good," he remarked to a number of friends who were extending congratulations to him down on Fur nam street. "That second charge? Oh, that will die aborning," he sententlously remarked. "No, sir, that will never come to trial. It's all over now." "The verdict of acquittal is the only legitimate outcome of the case," added Mr. hotel, these officials were selected for the firemen's contests: Judges, F. A. Wood, Cedar Rapids; W. N. Burns, Marion; G. B. Embroe, West Liberty. Timers, John Dl neen, Sioux City; Fred Johnson, Council Bluffs, and J. C. Loper, Des Moines. Colonel John C. Loper commanded the Fifty-first Iowa volunteers In the Philip pines and Is now serving as sheriff of Polk county. . Oldflrld Tries Out. During the afternoon yesterday between 300 and 400 persons went to the driving park to watch Harney Oldfleld "try out." The champion autolst drove twenty-five miles, clipping off the miles at an average of 1:05. Some of the miles were covered In 1:03. Last evening the champion said he was much pleased wlththe track, which he consid ered a fast one. "I was not trying to make any great speed this afternoon as I was merely trying the track, which Is, of course, new to me. In, my exhibitions, however, I shall try to beat one minute, and this I think ought to satisfy the people. As to being able to beat my record, I don't like to say anything about that in adavnee. There naturally must be a limit to beating my record," he said. Mr. Oldfleld Is accom panied by his wife and they are quartered at the Grand hotel. Old-time volunteer firemen were to bo seen last night gathered In groups talking over the old day when such a thing as a paid fire department was unknown or In fact unthought of In this section of the country. Some of the old timers wandered about the city with the purpose of view ing the, mementoes and relics of the old volunteer days. In the window of Zur muehlen and Gunnoude's store next to the .Grand hotel are displayed in the window some of the old hand equipment of tho Rescue Volunteer company of Council Bluffs and these naturally attract much attention from the old timers. In the win dow of the John Beno company the cham pion belt, now held by the Neola running team, Is on exhibition, while at F. Hahn's place Is the banner which was presented to Rescue company by the women of Council Bluffs on Its return from tho state tour nament at Cedar Rapids In 1879. The ban ner la of white silk and bears the Inscrip tion worked on It In silk "Rescue Hose company. Council Bluffs, la., November 22, 1879." The banner was presented to the company by Mrs. M. F. Rohrer on behalf of the women of the city. The Rescue com pany was organized In 1868 and was dis banded In 1X91. During its life it had more than a state reputation and many were the trophies it won. At the headquarters In the building opposite the Grand hotel are also to be seen a number of ancient pieces of fire fighting equipment, which today would be appropriately termed "Impedimenta."

COFFEE SNAP During a fight at the boarding house con ducted by Mrs. John McDonald, 1418 How ard street, about 8 o'clock Tuesday night, Officer A. E. Heller received a severe cut on the forehead Just over the left eye, and John McDonald, an expressman who has a Btand at the corner of Sixteenth and How ard streets, was shot In the breast, causing a flesh wound which It is thought Is not serious. The fight was the outcome of a quarrel which has been In progress for several days McDonald had been drinking, and when he came home to supper Tuesday evening was slightly under the influence of liquor. He at once began to quarrel with his wife, but this subsided for a time and after supper he again started his trouble, several times threatening to kill his wife and the whole family. He assaulted the women several times and, finally Policeman Heller was called. When he entered the house Heller found McDonald In an ugly mood and ho told the officer If he started to make any trouble he would kill him as well as tho family. "Take him away and make him stay away," said Mrs. McDonald, and when the policeman started to arreBt McDonald the latter immediately showed signs of fight. and made a grab for the policeman's club, which he succeeded In getting, striking Heller over the head twice with It. Mc Donald got Heller down and began choking him. Heller felt his strength fast giving way, and warned McDonald that he would shoot Is he didn't let go, and the latterfiay lng no attention to his threats, the officer drew his revolver and shot, striking Mc Donald in the right breast, the bullet tak ing an upward course and lodging "under the right arm. After his wound was dressed by Drs. Wlg tnn and Kennedy at the police station, Mc Donald was removed to St. Joseph's hos pital, where he was resting easily at a late hour Tuesday evening. There was no witness to the affair ex cept John Mahoney, a 15-year-old boy, the son of Mrs. McDonald. He tried to get the club away from his stepfather and did all he could to stop the fight, but was unable to accomplish much. McDonald and his wife were divorced last April, but on account of his love for his 6-year-old boy he begged the mother of his boy to let him opme and board at the house so he could be with his child. Policeman Heller is practically a new man on the force and was not aqualnted with McDonald, who has a bad reputation among the officers for his fighting qualities. Mistakes Friend for Burclar.

June 6-The Teamsters' Joint Counril tonight appointed a committee with full powers to settle the strike and tomor row a conference will be arranged with the employers. The appointment of the committee fol lowed the announcement by Attorney Mayer, who, spenklng for the Employers' association, said two days pgo that no more conferences would be held with the men, unless tho committee came to the meeting with full power to act and this power must be explicitly stated In writing. The teamsters promised to appoint the committee lust night, but Instead of doing so sent a committee to arrange Individual settlements with a number of the largo dry goods houses.
