The Board of Supervisors of Pottawatta
mie county la up against what may poa
slbly prove a hitch In the sale of the
Pigeon Creel bonds.. The W. R. Compton
Bond and Mortgage company of Macon,
Mo., which waa awarded the bonds on Its
bid, it Is said, may refuse to accept them
because of alleged defecta In the descrip
tion of the land assessment.
In case the firm does decline to sccept
the botida the board will have to either be
gin proceedings to compel the acceptance
of them or else take up the whole matter
again, make a new assessment and Issue
new bonds.
The question which has arisen relates to
the sufficiency or Insufficiency of the de
scription -of the parcels of land assessed
for the construction of the ditch. In lot,
when the list of taxable property waa made
up, the descriptions were copied from the
transfer books, as Is the custom In such
cases, without reference to the original
deeds. In this way some of the descrip
tions are said to be Indefinite, aa, wnue
naming the number of acres, they fall to
speclflfy what particular acrea are meant,
It la stated that ' the courts of Iowa have
held that a tax deed aeeured upon auch a
description is void, and fnr this reason the
Compton company Is said to be somewhat
wary about accepting the bonds.
. Defects Not Fatal.
'That' the alleged defects are not of auffl
clebt .moment. or number to Invalidate the
bonda or to give the comrany sufficient
grounds for declining to accept them Is the
opinion of County Auditor Cheyne, as ex
pressed at the meeting of the Board of
Supervisors yesterday. "These so-called Im
perfect descriptions." said Mr. Cheyne, "are
comparatively few and moat of them are
sufficient to locate the land accurately. For
tnstanoe, when a man owns only fifteen
aorea of land In a given quarter, the refer
ence to the fifteen aorea owned by him can
refer to no other parcel of land, even though
the description does not give any more
definite Information than the quarter In
which these particular fifteen acrea are lo
cated." Al tha Compton Bond and Mortgage com
pany has not formally notified the board
that It will not accept the bonds, no action i
was taken yesterday.
The beard, acting upon the report of En
gineer Harley Mayne, which was to tho ef
fect that the work bad been completed to his
entire satisfaction and In accordance with
tha contract, formally accepted tho Pigeon
Creek ditch and ordered Contractor Wick-
ham paid the final estimate on the work.
The Individual members of the board who
visited the ditch Thursday expressed them
selves ss fully satisfied with tho work done.
Tha Illinois Central railroad, which has
some temporary piling and other obstruc
tions In the ditch, was ordered to remove
them. i .
As a drainage board the supervisors ad
journed until October 21,
In session aa a county board tho super
visors decided to renew the Insurance on
the court house. The hearing In the matter
of tha application' to reopen the petition fot
the . Fensler ditch wss postponed to No
vember 8. - The bosrd will be In session today.
TRAINS COLLIDE AT AVOCA, 1A.

Key Brothers at Work Again.
keys Brothers, whoso carriage factory
burned Sunday morning, Auguat 4, are d ing
business again at the old atand. The new
three-story main building for ths brick
work, of which Wlckham Brothers have
the contract. Is nearlng completion, while
the blacksmith shop, which is considerably
larger than the one destroyed In the fire,
has been finished and Is oocupled.
To provide room for the Increased also of
the new buildings the city vacated part of
the alley running from First to Second
avenue between Twenty-eighth and Twenty-seventh
streets. In exchange the firm
gave a atrip of land alxteen feet wide off
Its property.
Although ths new buildings are nearly
completed, the permit for the erection
of the same waa only taken out yesterday
by the contractors. The permit calls for an
expenditure of $25,000 for the main building
and the blacksmith shop. Much of the In
terior work In the new building haa been
done by the employes of the firm, thus
furnishing them employment until the reg
ular (business of the factory was started
up again. Edwin Key of the firm said
yesterday: "We have resumed the manufac
ture of buggies and other vehicles and ex
pect in a short time to .have tha same
force as before the fir 'at work again.
Considering that our plant wa. burned
down not quit two month ago, we con
sider ourselves very fortunate In being
able to start up again at auch an early
date. Our blacksmith shop Is completed
and running, you might ssy. In full blast,
and our main building will shortly be
finished. As It la, we are now ocoupylng the
lower portion of the main building. With
our now Increased facilities we expect a
proportionately Increased business."

Attorney Geaeral Will Sac to F.nforoe

' Article of lacor-
poratloa,
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Sept. S8.-(Speclal.)-8ince
the campaign started by Attorney General
Byers to force ths corporations doing busi
ness In Iowa to regard the Iowa law that
requires that they file certified copies of
their articles of Incorporation with the sec
retary of state, where they are organised
In other atates. It ha been discovered that
the Adams Express company, th American
Expreas company and the United States Ex
press company all claim to be partner
ships and deny that they are corporatlona
at al). They deny having any capital atotk
and claim that they have, however, aov
eral hundred thousands of dollars "In
terests." Disregarding this claim Attorney General
Byers wll start prosecutions to collect a
fine of $100 for each day that they have
done business In the state without having
filed certified copies of their articles of
Incorporation. It will be claimed that
whether they are formally organised as
corporation or not they are doing a cor
poration business through officers and di
rector and not through partners, that they
claim the police protection of the atate
and must conform to the law.
In the prosecution of the corporations for
disregarding the laws of the atate It was
learned today that Attorney General Byers
will allow some few to file their articles
now and pay th filing fee and not be
prosecuted to pay the fine. It la under
stood that he will make a distinction be
tween corporation. It has been discov
ered that some corporations, not public
service, have t various times done a little
business in the state of Iowa. Occasionally
on haa secured a contract to erect a
building or do aome work of one kind or
another and Its violation of the law has
been through Ignorance rather than through
Intention. The state and none of Its chi
tons have suffered perceptibly. The attor
ney general will Insist only that such now
comply with the law.
But with the big public service corpora
tions which have claimed the police protec
tion of th state and have taken millions
of dollars out of the state and have vio
lated the law knowingly, prosecution will
follow for th collection of the fine of $100
a day.

they.gav th road a clean bill of health
Most of the time was spent on the branch

branch lines were visited and all but a
.few miles of the main line traversed. This
will be visited later.- The commissioners
found It to be an excellent manner of
settling troubles. The general manager,

were quickly arranged. The physical con

'Nobody knows better than Mr! E. H.
Harriman and the gentlemen who have put
out this latest proclamation for him that
he does not control anywhere near a ma
jority of the total stock of the Illinois
Central railroad. The straits In which Mr.
Harriman's party finds Itself, In Its effort
to perpetuate his control of tho Illinois
Central, are shown by the fact that tho
official circular of the Harriman majority
of the board, dated July 27, appealing for
proxies, has been sent out at least three
times, accompanied by a form of prpxy
running to Mr. James T. Harahan and Mr.
Alexander G. Hackstaff and with an
envelope for the return of the same. This

On both continents officers and agents of

"If there has been any trace of sincerity
In the 'statement given out by the com
pany' present officers that they already
hold a majority of the proxies for the forth
coming meeting to be held In Chicago on
October 16 it means that they do not (as.
indeed,' they cannot J take Into account how
far proxies previously given to them have
been revoked by the stockholders who have
sent to me proxies of later dates In my
favor and that of Mr. Charles It. Beach
and Mr. J. Dewcuttlng."
