The search for the deaperado who Sun
day night shot Detective George Wilson
and Patrolman W. H. Richardson, killing
the former, haa been abandoned by the

yesterday evening, after being In the Held
continuously since early Monday morning.
Sheriff Canning returned late Wednea lny
nlnht, bringing m-Jth him the bloodhounds,
which were taken back to Beatrice early
yesterday morning.
While tha local officers have beon with
drawn from the search, the hunt for the
desperado will be kept up by the marshals,
constablea and other officers of the sur
rounding towna. The atonn of Tueadsy
night spoiled the trail which the offlors
had hoped would have resulted In the cap

fellow the opportunity he waa seeking to
get away from this vicinity. Despite their
failure to capture the fugitive. Chief Rich

captured. C. J. Stlllwell, Ovlde Vlen and
E. B. Gardiner were Impaneled as the
Jury by Coroner Treynor. and they viewed
the body of Detective Wilson before the
funeral Wednesday morning.
Patrolman Richardson, according to a
late report from the Edmundson hobpltal
last night, waa still gaining strength, and
the chances for hla recovering were grow

The slate of Iowa will offer a reward
for the .vrest and conviction of the des

Governor Cummins, who took aupper In
Council Bluffs last evening enroute to
Austin, Minn., to 011 a chautauqua en

Cummins and Major George H. Richmond,
chief of police, talked the matter over

Governor Cummins while at the Grand
hotel met and chatted with the member
of the executive committee of the Com

CAMPAIGN AGAINST FRANCHISE
Botchers and Grocers Disown One
Circular.
Attorney Thomas Q. Harrison waa the
principal apeaker at the open air meeting
In the First ward held last night by the
opponents to the propoaed new water
works franchise. Councilman Wallace had
Intended to .be present and. In fact, got
near enough to listen to Mr. Harrison for
a ahort while. Mr. Wallace had taken
Governor Cummins to the depot In an auto
mobile and forgetting that the present cam
paign againat the franchise, according to
the declaration of Attorney Harrison, was
one of "the hayrack against the auto
mobile," started to the meeting In the chug
wagon. A friend meeting him asked the
councilman from the Third ward If he waa
not afraid to go to the meeting In an auto
mobile, aa if he did he would al once be
claased with the aristocrats who were said
to favor the granting of the franchlae. Mr.
Wallace, saw the point and stopped the
machine about a block from the meeting
place, where ha sat and listened to Attor
ney Harrison's appeal to hia audience to
vote down the proposed franchise.
A similar meeting waa held in the county
building at Avenue B and Twenty-fourth
atreet, at which the residents of that sec
tion of the city were addressed by former
Councilman W. C. Boyer and othera.
Thla evening the opponenta to the fran
chise will hold a meeting In the club houe
of the West Council Bluff Improvement
club at Broadway and Thirty-fourth street.
Prominent speakers from the ranks of the
opposition, including Spencer Smith, are ex
pected to be present.
Within the last few days copies of a
four-sheet circular Urging the people of
Council Bluffs to vote down th proposed
water works franchise and purporting to
be signed by, R H. Huntington and Otto
Skodsholm, special committee of the Coun
cil Bluffs Retail Grocers' and Butchers'
association, have been distributed broad
cast over the city. Several member of
th association, which held Its regular
meeting last night, disclaimed any au
thority for th nam of tho association
belng signed to th circular.
It waa stated after the meeting by John
T. Mulqueen. prualdbot of th annotation,
that th organisation denied the parentage
of the pamphlet and that no one had been
authorised to Issue the same In the nam
of the organization. Th committee con
sisting of Mr. Huntington, secretary of
the association, and Mr. Skodsholm, had
been appointed, It was stated, at a former
meeting two weeka ago to confer with the
several Improvement cluba on the fran
chise, but were not given authority to
Issue any such circular as had been dis
tributed throughout the city. It wis also
stated that Mr. Huntington denied having
given any one authority to attach his nam
to the circular.
Copies of the circular which the Council
Bluffs Retail Grocers' and ' Butchers' as
sociation disown were distributed by At
torney Thomas Q. Harrison on Wednesday
and Thursday, but It could not be learned
last night If he was responsible In any way
for the printing of them.

FAVOR WATER WORKS FRANCHISE
Commercial Clan Shows Why Com
pany's Charter Should Be Renewed.
COUNCIL BLUFFS. Ia., July 27. 1907. To
th Voters of Council Bluffs: The under
signed members of the board of directors
of th Council bluffs commercial club,
prompted by a sense of duty o watch over
and care for the welfare and commercial
prosperity of the city, appeal to the voters
to vote for the pending water works fran
chise. Wa are led to do thla solely by
reason of the fact that we are convinced
that many have been misled by misrepre
sentations made Intentionally or otherwise
by some of those who are opposing the
franchise.
The Commercial club has negotiations
pending with a factory, but Its manage
ment has advised the club that It Is uselesn
to carry on further negotiations unless
better fire protection ,1s assured.
E. Children' Sons' Manufacturing com
pany will not rebuild until thla question Is
settled. We feel that It Is absolutely use
leas for us to work to locate new Inntltu
tlons and Industries here unless Immediate
provision Is made for an Improved water
service, and if thla franchise la not carried
we will lose many of the Industries we now
have. Th defeat of this franchise would
be the worst blow Council Bluffs has re
ceived since through our folly we lost the
stock yards. In Its passage is the only hope
of the city for immediate relief from the
present conditions.
There la no way In which water can, for
years to come, be given to the rapidly
growing and other sections of the city that
are taxed for but do not receive fire pro
tection. We hop the public will not confuae the
rate ordinance and th water franchise
The rate ordinance Is In force npw, and
will be In fore whether the franchise Is
roted up or down. Th question Is not
what rat ahall b paid. That must be
determined by our city council, and caa
and will be revised as often as the people
demand It. If the franchise carries the city
has a right to buy at any time, and not
withstanding representations to the con
trary, It Is expressly stipulated that if It
does so It shall pay nothing for th frnn
chise.
The city may also build a plant any time
It sees fit. If th franchise carries. The
question is, shall we enlarge and extend
the services where necessary Immdtatcly
and retain the Institutions we have and
get new ones, or shall we do nothing with
the plant, and thus frustrate the efforts of
the club to get new institutions located here
and drive away those we now haveT
