PATROL DRIVER DIRS OF INJIRIES
Chief of ' Police Richmond Pays
: Tribute, to Dead Officer.
Ch irles Plainer, police patrol driver, who
was accidentally shot by a fellow officer
while In pursuit of two burglars on Oak
land avenue early Saturday morning, suc
cumbed to his Injuries yesterday afternoon
at the General hospital.
Officer Platner showed that he was a man
of Indomitable courage to the end. When
Informed that a second operation would
be necessary Saturday evening and that the
chances of his surviving his wound were
very slight, he said to Dr. Macrae: "Go
ahead. I am not afraid to die. If this had
not happened we would have caught that
burglar."
A post-mortem held yesterday afternoon
showed that the 38-callber revolver bullet
had worked terrible havoc. It had lacerated
the left kidney, punctured the spleen and
perforated the colon, making recovery from
such wounds practically an Impossibility.
Chief of Police Richmond paid thla tribute
,to the dead officer yesterday:
. Charles Platner wss a man of unques
tioned courage and was never known to
shirk any duty. He died like a hero in
the discharge of his duty and Council
Bluffs and the police department lose a
brave and valued officer. While he was
a man who knew not what fear was. he
slways kept his head. Even when he real
ised how seriously he was wounded he
o.lled out to Officer Stone: "Never mind
me. Keep after that burglar and get him."
Charles C. Platner was probably the best
known police officer In the city, having
been born and raised In Council Bluffs. He
was the sen of Ira Platner. one of the pio
neer settlers of Pottawattamie county. He
was born Februsry, lRWi, and was conse
quently a little over 43 yesrs of sge. He
leaves a widow and one daughter, Mrs
Victor Iaustrup. who arrived last evening
from Colorado, where she recently went for
the benefit of her health.

"You can ask all the questions you want
to, but I am not going to get loose" was
the only statement which could be ob
tained from Dan Smith, who was found
last evening about 7 o'clock near the
Burlington tracks snd South Main street
ir a aeinl -conscious condition and with the
Mood pouting from a number of wounds
on his hesd and face. He was removed
to the Oenersl hospital, where his Injuries
were attended to. As far as the police are
able to learn, last night Smith and a com
panion had a tight. In which Smith was
badly beaten up.
Some years ago Smith wss employed In
this city , by the' Postal Telegraph com
pany, first as a messenger and later as an
oerator. He left Council Bluffs about ten
years ago. and was known to have gone
down hill at a rapid rate until he became
a regular tramp. He drifted Into the city
Friday and ' late that night was picked
up by the police for being drunk and beg
ging on the street. Saturday morning he
was given ten days on bread and water,
but later in the day was released on his
promise to leave town. He gave the name
of Pan Kelly at the city Jail.
Shortly before 7 o'clock last evening
"Doc" O'Leary. a Burlington flagman, no
tified tha police that a man had been shot

blood which was pouring from wounds In
his head. He refused to give any Informa
tion and Dr. V. L. Treynor. who was sum
moned, had the man removed to the hos
pital. Smith and another man,, who were said
to be quarreling, were seen to go towards
the rear of the Bradley company's ware
house and soon after, according to the
statements of O'Leary and Watchman
Lewis at the International Harvester com
pany's warehouse, one shot was heard.
An Instant later O'Leary saw Smith run
from behind the warehouse with blood
pouring down his face and fall down on ,
the switch track. He called the police.

wounds were clean cut gashes, while the
others were holes punched In the scalp.
Smith was badly under, the Influence of
liquor, and as soon as his wounds were
dressed fell asleep. The physicians who
attended Smith were of the opinion that
the wounds had been Inflicted with an Ice
pick.
As no weapon was found on Smith it Is
presumed that his assailant mutt have fired
the shot which Watchman Lewis and
O'Leary both heard. The man who Is
supposed to have assaulted Smith was seen
to run north on Sixth street until he
reached Eighth avenue, when he turned
Into South Main street and continued north.
Several persons who noticed the two men
tgether gave the police a description of
Smith's supposed assailant, but the officers
were unable to secure any trace of him
last night.

WANT NEW GRANDSTAND AND PAVILION
Sapreme CViart Docket for the Sep

of Cases of Important
Cha raster.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DE8 MOINES. Sept. l.-(Ppeclal.) Two
good sixed appropriations are to be asked
fr elth , b(. made by tne
legislature which meets next January or
...... . ..
one at that time and one by the legislature
. . . . ,, , -
which meets the yesr following. One of
... . . . , . . .
these will be for about $75,000, for the pur
pose of erecting a steel grandstand, that
will seat at least 15,000 people, and the
other Is for a large stock pavilion.
During the state fair last week not more
than about half the people who wanted
to get Into the amphitheater could get In
and the stock pavilion, where horses and
rattle are Judged, was so packed that on
most days of the fair one could hardly
enter the building and not half who wished
to see the stock In the ring could do so,
There was no opportunity whatever to
sen the swine judging
Small fears are entertained but that the
appropriations will be mode for the reason
that this year there were a large number
of senators and representatives In attend
ance at the fair, and a number of them
were caught 1n the crowds and were unable
to gain admittance either to the amphl
theater to see the races or to the stock
pavilion to see the stock judging.
Legislator aw for Himself.
Representative P. H. Powers of Floyd
county was rescued from the crowd by
Secretary John C. Simpson and taken to
the secretary's box In the amphitheater-
He declared himself then and there In
favor of an appropriation for a steel
amphitheater twice the size of the present
frame structure. Senator A. C. Wilson of
Oelweln was rescued In the same way by
Charles Phillips, superintendent of tickets
and taken to a box where he was able to
see, and he aUo became convinced. Both
have heretofore been quite opposed to
state fair annroDrlstlons.
It has become
evident that there will be
a profit of
about IJB.OOC from this year's fair. It Is
tne custom to carry a surplus of about
115,000 und the balance of the money will
be used In beautifying the grounds still
rPii,r nl,ir. ,..4 h..imi..-
more permanent walks and In erecting two
or more substantial barns for the cattle

Tile Balaree tp,
The tile at the state house on the first

siderable concern. With the change of
seasons the tile seems to swell and every
year at this time bulges up In spots and
must be relald.

A -change In the plans of the guard in
target practice Is likely to result because
of the Iowa guard getting fifteenth place
In the list In the contest that has just
ended at Sea Girt. N. J. Iowa men ssy
the guard should have done better. In the
slow firing, where the time allowed to a
shot was one minute, the Iowa guard kept
at the front and occupied about eighth
place. In the rapid firing, where the maxi
mum time was twenty seconds to flvs
shots, the Iowa guard fell down. Now
It Is proposed to select the team from the
home target practice of the companies and
then use the appropriation In getting tha
team together for a full month's practloe
on tha government range here. This ysar
the team waa selected In a week's pra

Major F. H. French. Inspector general,
completed his tour of Inspection at the post
on Friday, August 26. Considering the hot
weather and dust storms the commander
made an excellent showing. The Inspector,
Major French, found but few Irregularities
snd his report Is thought to be very favora
ble. He recommended, however, that sev
eral troop horses be condemned. In the
squadron and battalion drill in light and
heavy marching order, ths men were kept
rather busy. So much so, that all had a
good night's sleep without taking physical
exercise. Thursday, one tactical problem
was solved. Troop H, Tenth cavalry and
Company M. Eleventh Infantry marched
out of post early. About two hours later
Troop O, Tenth cavalry acting as advance
and rear guard with Company I, Eleventh
Infantry, left In searcTi of Troop H and
Company M. Troop H was located by the
advanco guard Troop G. and their posi
tion reported, but with tact, Troop II
made a flnnk movement and surprised and
captured Company I as a whole. Major
French left on the afternoon train Friday,
August 2B. 1905. All breathed more freely
after his leave.
