child is bhttlly whippf.i
Tied a ad Lambed with . Strao by
Snsa Brother.
' Stripped of her clothing, with her hands
tied behind her back snd whipped with a
leather strap by her brother, a man of
S years of age. was a sample of the cruel
treatment which little Christina Romeo, a
child of 11 years, had undergone, aa brought
ont In the hearing before Judge Wheeler
yesterday morning In the Juvenile division
of the district court.
Neighbors had complained to Rev. Henry
Deling, court probation officer, of the
treatment which the child, It was alleged,
received at the hands of her parents and
other members of the family, and he had
the girl brought Into ceurt.
"If you were berore meass a prisoner and
not aa a witness I should feel prompted
to send you to Jail for thirty days." said
Judge Wheeler to the brother, when the
story of the whipping waa detailed. The
brother,' In excuse for his treatment of his
little sister, testified that the girl waa In
corrigible and persisted In Staying out with
companions of the other sex, contrary to
he orders of her father and mother. There
was no evidence, however, to substantiate
this charge against the child, and neigh
bors declared it false.
It developed during the hearing that little
Christina, although not IS years of age,
was compelled to get up at 4 or I o'clock
in the morning. Work In the garden and do
the washing of the entire family without
assistance. After . the whipping by the
brother Christina fled to the home of a
neighbor, Mrs. Peters, who iestlfled to the
girl's body, arms and legs being covered
with big welte from the blowe of the strep
and that the marks on her wrists showed
plainly where her hands .hsd been tied
with a rope while the whipping waa being
administered.
When Judge Wheeler decided that; It
would be best for the girl to send her to
the State Industrial school at Mltehelt
Vllle the parents broke out Into a loud
walling and begged te be permitted to take
their daughter back home with them, prom
ising to treat her differently In the .future.
The court, however, declined to change his
decision.
The Romeo family came to Council Bluffs
last October from Omaha and reside on
Elliott street. Neither can speak English
and Samuel Mancuao of Omaha acted as
Interpreter.

Get Jo for. Erecting .ew Building
of th Carpenter Paper
Company.
The Carpenter Paptr company has let the
coiittact 'for the erection bf Its building at
the southeast corner of Ninth and Harney
streets. The contract went to an out-of-town
concern, whose name the Carpenters
decline to give. It Is thought by local
contractors that It was let on a per cent
basis, the owners to buy all material and
the contractors lo erect the building for
certain fraction of the entire coat. This
belief grows out ot the fact that the Car
penters have been figuring closely on brick.
lumber and other material since bids wete
submitted by various builders about
month ago. At that time a number of
local concerna entered bids, but the figures
were evidently considered high, for the con

Member Lindsay vnlred the first objection
lo accepting the report. He said the county
had Just obtained a price of t:.ffS for nut
coal and that the usual margin on lump
coal was only 40 cents more, making it
seem thnt Sunderland Bros., who made the
county hid, could furnish lump coal for
13.38 and still make money. Member Kee-
nlg pointed out that the Havens company
had bid :.R5 for nut roal to the county and
13.tl3 to the board, and that steam coal had
been offered to the county lower also.
It took the members a long time and with
considerable talk to determine what to do,
but the plan of getting new bids Anally was
s greed to.
Printing, stationary and Janitors' sup- ;
plies were apportioned among various bid
ders according to the lowest bids. j
rettlbono Brothers Manufacturing com
pany of Cincinnati again submitted the low.
est bid for cadet uniforms complete. HfS5.
There were four other bidders and the pro
posals were referred to the supplies com-
nilttee.
E. A. Zartment was elected head Of the
commercial department at the High school
at a salary of 1110 a month.
Fifth Ward Fire House.
Member Lindsay found cause for appre
hension ot danger to children that would
be Incurred by the location of the new
Fifth ward engine house near the Lake
school at Nineteenth and Lake streets. On
his suggestion the board decided to ask
the city to keep the station as far away
from the school as possible.

JUNIOR YELLOW IS HARD HIT
Fake Interview Vrlth Miss Wheeler Is
I'tterly Repudiated by that
Woman.
What Is good for a man once accused
of murder has proven bad for a tinhorn
yellow paper convicted of unadulterated
faking.
James Dlggs, the negro who was charged
with the murder of Frank Wheeler, but
was discharged aome time ago, as no evi
dence could be found against him, prob
ably will be tried on a charge of robbing
Wheeler'a house sometime before the mur
der, on which charge he was arrested Sat
urday. County Attorney Slabaugh de
clares he haa evidence that Dlggs did the
work and he feels confident he can secure
a conviction. f
County Attorney Slabaugh as ye the ar
rest of Dlggs the second time has no con
nection with ths murder case, nor with
the visit to Omaha of Miss Wheeler, sister
of the murdered man. Miss Wheeler called
at the county attorney's office Monday and
repudiated statements Imputed to her In
a sensational evening paper that seeks to
Justify one of Its characteristic fakes. Un
less new evidence conies to light Dlggs
probafbly will not be tried on the murder
charge, as an acquittal would make it Im
possible to try him In the future should
new evidence turn up.
