pany was taken out to view the crossing

Telephone Companies at War.
Attorney S. B. Wadsworth who appears
In the suit as a taxpayer and property
owner, secured In tho district court yester
day a temporary Injunction restraining the
Independent Telephone company of Council
Bluffs from setting its pole on South
Seventh street, south of Sixteenth avenue,
"outside of the curb line," While Mr.
Wadsworth appears as plaintiff, It Is ad
mitted 'that the suit Is really brought on
behalf of the Nebraska Telephone com
Iaay.
The ground for complaint Is that the In
dependent company ha set Its poles all
along the street south of Sixteenth avenue
two feet In front of the poles of the
Nebraska company. The street south of the
railroad tracks Is not paved or curbed and
the poles, of the Independent company are
now outside what Is the curb line. It Is
expected that when the street ts ordered
Improved that the width will be reduced
and this will leave the poles of the In
dependent company inside the curb line
and those 'of the Nebraska company on the
parking. When this happens. It may be
come necessary for the Nebraska company
to move Its poles closer to the curb and
this it could not do without taking down
11 of lu wires, provided the Independent
company was permitted to leave Its poles
where they now are.
C. A. Atkins, city electrician, la made
party defendant and the court Is asked to
restrain him from granting a permit to the
Independent company t-J place Its poles
where they now are. It was stated yester
day that Mr. Atkins had not Issued the
permit to the Independent company but
that he had signified his Intention of so
doing.
The date for hearing the application for
a permanent Injunction lias not yet been
by the court. '

onstrate Meed of rhaaftlna- Method
of Laylaar Cement Sidewalks
Around Hydrants.
Mayor Macrae Is expected to call a spe
cial meeting of the city council for Monday
night to consider the question of gates or
flagmen at dangerous railroad crossing.
The recent killing of Mrs. Mallack at the
Woodbury avenue crossing of the Oreit
Western railroad has again called attention
to the need of better protection at the rail
road crossing. Tho Burlington and Great
Western were ordered two month ago by
the city council to establish gates at their
crossings on Mnln street, but up to date
the railroads have taken no notice of the
order.
Another question which the mayor desires
to bring before the council ts that of t'e
cement pavement around the fire hydrants.
In the district court last week II. F. Knud
sen secured a Judgment against the city for
$700 for the flooding of his cellar, caused by
the frost raising the cement walk around a
hydrant, with the result that the supply
pipe to the hydrant was broken. As the
same thing is llahlo to occur again as soon
as a hard frost sets In Mayor Macrae is of
the opinion some steps should be taken to
prevent a recurrence of such an accident.
This can be done by loosening the cement
walk around the hydrants Jn the same
manner as around the trees on the side
walks around Bavllss park.

Coanty Attorney Hess Replies to
Letter of Governor Mickey.
County Attorney Hess received yesterday
morning the letter from Governor Mickey
of Nebraska In which the latter stated his
reasons for not honoring the requisition
for Pat Crowe at this time. Mr. Hess was
not disappointed, as he had not anticipated
that the Nebraska authorities would re
linquish their claim on Crowe until after
they had got through with him on tho
charge In connection with the kidnaping of
young Cudnhy.
Mr. Hes at once replied to Governor
Mickey's letter, suggesting that the requisi
tion be honored and sent to the judge of
the criminal court In Omaha or to tho
sheriff of Douglas county to be delivered
to the sheriff of Pottawattamie county If
It became apparent that Crowe would be
released In Omaha.
Despite the assertions of Pat Crowe that
the charge against him In Council Bluffs
has been trumped up. County Attorney
Hess states that he believes the evidence
he has Is sufficient to convict Crowe of the
street car holdup, and he sees no reason
why Governor Mickey should not honor
the requisition when the proper time comes.
Arthur Levi, whd was bound over to the
gra id jury under bonds of $1,000 for alleged
complicity In the holdup at Harden' sa
loon and who Is believed to have been Pat
Crowe's accomplice In the street car rob
bery, secured his release from the county
Jail yesterday on ball. Levi's mother fur
nished a cash bond In the sum of tl.ono In
the shape of a cashier's check Issued by
the State Savings bank of this city. Al
though a second information charging Levi
with complicity In the street car holdup
had been filed some time ago In Justice
Gardiner's court, no attempt to re-arrest
him was made yesterday by the sheriff's
