tribute 16.000 from the road fund toward
the cost of paving lower Broadway, Mayor
Macrae, several cnuncllmen and members
of the Commercial club waited upon tho
Board of County Supervisors at Its sec
tion yesterday. In the party with Mayor
Macrae . were Coundllmen Maloney, Olson
and Smith, comprising the special com
mittee appointed by, the city council last
Monday night; Councilman Younkerman,
President C. W. McDonald, Victor fe. Ben
der,' J. P. Qreenslelds, f. R. Davis, II. M.
Van Brunt, F. T. True, O. it. Mayne. rep
resenting the Commercial club, and the
recently organized-Council Bluffs Develop
ment company.
In support of the application of asolst
ance from the country fTOid.fund, It was
pointed out to the supervisors that Broad
way, being the main thoroughfare between
Council Bluffs and Omnha, was entitled
to the aid asked from the. county, as It
was used largely by the farmers, truck
gardeners and others living outside the
city.. The supervisors declined to make any
promises and questioned their right 'o use
the county roaf fund or any part thereof
for the purpose suggested. They gave at
tentive ear to liie arguments made by the
city officials and members of the Com
merclat club, but announced., they could
not give the matter any consideration, until
they had consulted with trie: 'county at
torney as to the legal status of the propo
sition. The committee was obliged to be
content with the statement of the board
that It Would talk the matter Ovr with
the county attorney and would announce
Its decision In a few daysJ " - '
The supervisors' yesterday awarded the
contract for furnishing the county, with
books, blanks and printed supplies to More
house A Co., their bid being the Kiwest

pany was the other bidder. The Nonpareil
company declined to submit any bid and
It Is understood will endeavor to hold the
board tq Its former action when It awarded
It tfie contract at the prices' which had
prevailed for several year's pa-t, without
advertising for bids. Supervisor 'Baker
alone voted against awarding the contract
to Morehouse- A Co.. explaining that he
did so because "the contract had already
been entered Into with the New Nonpareil
company." It was stated that a com
parison of the prices of Morehouse A Co.
with those paid the Nonpareil company for
several yeasa past, showed that the county
would snve from JO to 80 per cent on tho
cost of such supplies under the new con
tract. For Instance, one Item., that of the
hook for "account of warrants," used In
the office of the' county auditor, was men
tioned. Heretofore the county had been
paying. It was stated. 128 for this book to
the Nonpareil company, while under their

gestion was that no warrants be Issued In

Defendant Alleges Presiding Jodsre Is
Prejudiced.
It now looks as If the. second trial of
Leon Losier and E. Moore, charged with
separating Charles Gregory antf William
Barker of this city from $5,000 of their
hard earned money In connection with the
fake fodt races at Webb City, Mo., some
years ago, will not be held at this term of
district court, despite the fact that Cmmty
Attorney Hess was ready to proceed. A
new phase was put on the case yesterday
when counsel for Losier filed an applica
tion for . fc change of venue. It happens
that Judge Thornell, who la on the bench
here this term of court, presided over the
former trial which resulted In tbe convic
tion of the defendants and their sentence
to three years each In the ' penitentiary.
The application seta forth that the de
fendant, Losier, Is of the belief that Judge
Thornell is prejudiced against him and he
therefore asks that the trial be held be
fore some other Judge. s there Is no al
legation of local settlement being unfavor
able to the defendant the case can be tried
In this county, even though tbe-change of
venue be granted. The application If granted
will be on the bench here.
Judge Thornell made the fifth and last
assignment of Jury rases for the January
ternr' yesterday. Several criminal cases,
Including thoso of Mrs. Emily Wadsworth
Bresee, charged with practicing medicine
without a license, and that of E; 8. Jeffrey,
charged with embesslement of funds of the
