RED OAR AFTER THE BATTLE
Oott of the Dennison Trial it Now Being
Cut Up for Settlement
BIG BILL FOR HARRISON COUNTY TO PAY
Thirty-Five Hundred Dollars for the
Tazpayers of Iowa to Furalsb in
Exchange for Civic. 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

. 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."

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.

CHICAGO. June 6-The Teamsters' Joint

Mayer, who, spenklng for the Employers'

more conferences would be held with 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. This attempt failed com
pletely, the employers having announced
that no separate settlements would be
made and that If the strike was declared
off It must be declared off In every direc
