PAT CROWE ON TRIAL AGAIN Thla Tim lbs tier ii Boldiic Up a Vottr Car at latt Ind f Bridge. TROLLEY CANNOT IDENTlfY DEFCNOANT Oae Wltaeee Bveeara to Beelaaj Crowe 4 Levi Hear the Bceae of tk lloldep m Bkort Tisse Pre vloss te Oocsrreaee, The trial of Pat Crowe, charged with holding up and robbing the crew of two street cars at the east end of tho bridge on the night of Sunday. July . 1W6. was begun In the district court at Council Bluffs yesterday morning. The Jury was secured by noon and after four witnesses had been placed on the stand at the afternoon session, the state waa compelled to as for an adjournment until today, on account of the failure of other witnesses to show up. The following compose the Jury: George T. MUler. J. N. Casady, Jr.. F. G. Knowlrs, P. F. Pryden, M. C. O Donald. C. J. Stll well, Forrest Smith and C. B. Howard. With the exception of F. G. Knowles of Lewis township and M. C. O' Donald of Haaei Dell township, the members of the Jury are residents of Counotl Bluff. Owing to the personal Injury damage suit of Mrs. Millie Kosky against the Nebraska Telephone company having been specially assigned for Monday morning, It waa ex pected that the Crowe case would have to go over until Tuesday, but the Kosky suit was settled out of court and thus made way for the trial of Crowe. Arthur Levi was jointly Indicted with Crow, but they elected to be tried separately and County Attorney Hess decided to trr Crowe first. Crowe Is being defended by Attorney 8. B. Wadsworth. The first wltnesa placed on the stand by the state was John Raph, a conductor. Th specific charge on which Crowe Is being tried Is the holding up and robbing of Raph, although Conductor William Matheson and Motorman Henry Leuch were also victims of the holdup. Motorman Welch, the other member of the two train crews held up managed to give the bandits the slip. Coad actor Hot Certain. Raph was tha conductor of the second car. He told how his car came to a atop by reason of th car ahead having been atopped. He and his motorman, Leuch, obeyed the order of the bandits to step down off the car and were conducted Into the brush alongside where they found Matheson, who had already been relieved of his money. The bandits took their watches as well as their money, but later returned th timepieces. Raph could not Identify Crowe as one of the bandits be cause the latter wore masks over their faces. The testimony of Conductor Matheson, who followed Raph on the etand, was sub stantially the same, except that he told of hla car being brought to a atop by run ning over something which In th dark looked somewhat like the body of a man or woman. Matheson and his motorman, Ed Welch, got oft the car to Investigate and found that It was a large gunny sack filled with hay which had een placed on the tracks While Investigating the bandits fired over their heads and ordered them to hold up their hands. Matheson obeyed, but Motorman Welch took to hla heels and e soaped In the darkness. Matheson said he was robbed of 138. R. G. Clover, an elderly man and a black smith by trade, who resides In the western part of the city, positively Identified Crowe as befng the man he met with Levi at John Crowe's aaloon on the night of the holdup. Clover' a testimony waa to the effect that he and a neighbor, George W. Shaffer, had been to Omaha to aee th steamer start up river. They walked back across the bridge and at Shaffer's suggestion, seeing a light In the rear of Crowe's saloon, went to get a drink. Aa they entered the fenced enclosure at the rear of tKe place a man whom the witness Identified as Pat Crowe, thrust a revolver under their noses and asked them 1f they were looking for trouble. Th witness said he answered that they were not. that they were merely looking for a drink. At this, the witness said, the other man, who from his voice he recognised as Levi, spoke up. saying: "These men are all right; If a Clovar and Bhafrer.- The man Identified by Clover aa Crowe then lowered hla weapon and the witness and his friend entered tha saloon and got their drink. Clover testified that he eould not be mistaken as to hla Identification of Crowe, as he had seen him several times during the two years preceding that. Deputy Sheriff McCaifery testified to see Ing Jim Callahan and two men resembling Crowe and Levi going- weat on Avenue B, near Twenty-alxth street, between 7:40 and I o'clock on th evening of the holdup. Callahan Is the man who was saM to hav been Implicated with Crow In th kid naping of young Ctidahy. Following th testimony of Deputy Sher iff McCaffery an adjournment waa taken until thla morning. Beach Warrant for Witness. Mrs. Lillle C. Dai ton, on of th princi pal witnesses for tha state who had been subpoenaed, failed to appear and a bench warrant waa Issued for her. At the time of the hold-up she lived at 18 Eighth avenue and rented part of her house to a man named Wilson and hla wife. Crow and Levi are alleged to have been In th Wilson part of thla houae the momlng fol lowing th hoM-up. Mrs Dalton In her evidence before the grand Jury testified, among other things, to hearing the man said to be Pat Crowe say to Wlleon, "W held up two atreet cars last night." Mrs. Dalton, who now resides In South Omaha, was In Council Bluffs Friday last, when aha waa served with the subpoena and at that time aha atated her willingness to be on hand Monday. From the police of South Omaha County Attorney Hea learned yesterday afternoon while making Inquiries concerning Mrs. Dalton, that Pat Crowe had been at har house for a con siderable time Sunday afternonn and even ing and again at an early hour Monday morning.

As had been announced It would the Council Bluffa City Water Works company submitted to ths city council last night an ordinance granting It a franchise for twenty-five years, Whll the provisions of tha ordlnanc are based to a consid erable extent upon ' th ordinance sub mitted by the company In Peoember, 1906, the ordinance Imposes a number of new obligations upon the company In return for the franchise. One of the principal new obligations Imposed upon the company Is that It shall reinforce Its mains In the Implement dis trict and that failure to do so within a reasonable Mm will act to annul th char ter. Other provisions require the company to extend Its mains wherever ordered, pro vided the city pay for one fire hydrant for every (CO feet of main so laid, supply pipes must be laid for consumers upon the or der of the city council provided two ad ditional bonaflde consumers are obtained to every 100 feet of pipe so laid, and the company shall from time to time take the necessary measures to secure the purity of th water aa shall be necessary for the preservation of the ' public, health. The ordinance provides for an extension of the franchise for twenty ysara and gives the city the right to purchase at any time. The ordinance after being read was re ferred to the committee of the whole with out comment. The awarding of the contract for the printing and binding of 280 copies of the revised ordinances brought on the expected contest over the union label. Councilman Maloney took the position that despite the fact that the New Nonpareil company, be ing considerably higher In Its bid than Alnsworth dt Woodford, should have the contract because It waa a union shop. In support of their position they cited an old city ordinance requiring all city printing to bear the union label. Mayor Macrae gave It aa his opinion that that ordinance In question waa unconstitutional aa being class legislation. The amendment to give the contract to the New Nonpareil company failed to carry and the contract waa given to Alnsworth St Woodford, Councllmen Fleming. Hendrlx and Maloney voting against It. Mr. Alnsworth In reply to Man ager Bender of the New Nortparlel com pany, who asserted that If the contract waa given to Alnsworth Woodford, the work, or at least two-thirds of It. would be done out of town, assured the council that every bit of th work would be done by Council Bluff taxpayers. Pr. D. Hamilton, a resident of Oakland avenue, asked that an Inspection be made of the electric light tower on that atreet. This brought on a protracted and some what heated discussion of the towera. Councilman Maloney precipitated matters by auggesttng the hiring of an expert to examine all the towera. Thla was opposed by Counollman Wallace, who called at tention to the faot that City Electrician Bradley had given It as hla opinion that the towers were unsafe. Judging from the condition of the one recently dismantled at Broadway and Eighth street. Council man Maloney ultimately won hla point and the fir and light committee waa au thorized to employ auch an expert. The request of the 8treet Railway com pany that It be permitted to replace Its trestle at the approach to the east end of Its bridge with an embankment waa referred to the committee of the whole and city engineer. A reaolutlon vacating tha alley between the Grand hotel and the annex adjoining was adoptad and the Grand Hotel company waa empowered to cloae the same.

GLENWOOD GETS THE COUNT Sipremt Court Dtolloat to on afarit of Controversy Over Enumafttioa. CASE GETS INTO COURT IN WRONG MANNER tote RM era y Commission Most Wednesday lor th Par sees of Tnhlngt If tk Joint Rnte natlen. (From a Btaff Correspondent.) PES MOINRS, May JO.-(Spolai.-Th supreme court today refused to aay whether or not It I Illegal for an assessor to return ths names of the children In the state Institutions as children of school age on which the school fund should be apportioned. The case was appealed from Mills county whers parties living outside of Glehwood complained because the chil dren at the School fof the Feeble Minded were enumerated aa children living Inside the corporation of Olenwood and the ap portionment of the school money on that basis gave the district of Olenwood more money than It was entitled to. A ault waa brought In tha district court thera to enjoin tha county auditor from making the apportionment on that basis on th allegation that Olenwood waa not en titled to It. There waa a demurrer filed and the district court sustained the de murrer. The supreme court affirms thla action of the district court without .passing on the merits of tha controversy. Th supreme court holds that the action to enjoin the auditor la not the proper ac tion. It claims that the law provides that the assessors shall return the en urn era Mon of the children Inside the district to the county superintendent and" that th auditor ahall make the apportionment of money on that basis. The supreme court holds that th auditor haa no discretion In the matter and that his duty Is merely a ministerial one and that auch an act cannot be enjoined In tha courta. The court today ruled on sixteen casea on appeal and overruled nineteen pe tltlona for rehearing that had been acted upon at previous sittings of the court. Among the rehearlnga overruled were thoae of Lafe Toung, who was eued by the state to recover an alleged overcharge while Mr. Toung was atate binder. The district court action resulted In Mr, Toung'a favor and the supreme court over ruled It and ordered a new trial. The ac tion In overruling the petition for a re hearing meana that the case muat now go to the district court for a new trial. The court overruled the motion for a rehearing In the John Walker caae. Walker was convicted of the murder of laaao Flnkelstnln and on the first appeal got a reversal and a new trial at which he was again convicted. This conviction waa af' firmed and the petition for a rehearing now Is overruled, which exhausts the en tire machinery of Justice and Walker must now serve hla sentence. The court affirmed the case of Emma Smith et al, appellants against Lewis Ryan, appealed from Fottawattamle oounty, be Ing an action to have tha probate of a wtll aet aside. The court reversed the case relating to the listing of property by Shields Brothers, appealed from Pottawat tamie oounty. Connections at Comforts. The negotiations are In a fair way for settling the troublet, at Carnforth Junction ao that the Rock Island and the North western wtll make connection there. For some time th time of two of the Important trains haa been four minutes apart. One train usually Is Just disappearing from th depot as the other pulls Into the corpora tion limits.

The State Railroad commission will meet Wednesday, when It will formally take up the question of putting In a Joint rate schedule. It Is understood that parties from Council Bluffs and others from Shenandoah will appear before the commission on the Joint rate question In the Interests of the shippers of those places. The nursery ship ments from Shenandoah are very large and the shipments Inside the atate of Iowa being very large, the question of Joint rates Is an important one. Dnnknrda to Des Moines.
