BATTEY v SPRINGS A SURPRISE
Tender t'oonty Board Mnety-Three)
Dollara When Board Thinks It lias
Judgment for Three Hundred
ElghtyKlght Dollars.
The Board of Supervisors convened yes
terday morning for the regular January
session and .reorganised by electing George
Spencer of Neoln, chairman. Mr. Spencer,
who Is Just entering on his fifth year, or
the second year of his second term on the
board, succeeds Felix Sets of Belknap
township as chairman. Colonel W. F.
Baker of this city and Mr. Bets enter upon
new terms of office with the opening cat
this session. Both were elected In the
fall of MUi for throe-year terms, the terms
to begin January 1, 1908.
The first business before the board was
the formal naming of the grand and petit
Jury llats for 1! for the Council Bluffs
and Avoca district courts. For Counoll
Bluffs under the new law the board named
seventy-five for grand Jurors, 800 for petit
Jurors and 310 for talesmen. For Avoca
seventy-five were named for grand Jurors.
4fo for petit Jurors and 160 for talesmen.
From these llats the Juries for the several
terms of court will he drawn In the regular
manlier, although for the Juries for the
January term, which opens next Tuesday,
a special order from the Judge providing
for the Juries will have to be Issued.
The following communication to the board
was received from H. V. Battey, clerk of
the district court: "In the case of Potta
wattumle county and J. W. Mitchell, trea
surer agnlnat II. V. Battey. It was shown
at the trial thereof that of the t0 aUowed
by your body to me as clerk hire and
drawn by me, I expended and paid for help
and clerk hire the auni of fT07, leaving a
balance of J!X1 unexpended. I herewith
tender the plaintiff county the sum of $93,
the tnme to be In full settlement of the
Judgment In said case."
Tender a arprle.
The tender of the t3 came somewhat
as a surprise to the board, in view of the
fact that Judge Thornell. after hearing
the ault, entered Judgment In favor of the
county and against Mr. Battey for I3S8.
The communication was referred to
County Attorney Hess, who Informed the
board that the matter was now out of Its
bands, the case having been tried and
the amount due from Mr. Battey decided
hy the court. He ald: "The suit, I sup
posed, as everybody else Interested did.
waa for the purpose of determining how
much Mr. Battey owed the county. The
court, after a trial of the rase, decided
the amount to be JS8. and not t'Ji. Mr.
Battey had six months In which to appeal
from the ruling of Judge Thornell. but he
did not. The time within which he could
appeal expired December U. There Is noth
ing for the county to do but to collect the
Judgment, ro far as I can see."

SHAW SILENT ON POLITICS
Declines to Talk in Advance of His
Speech This Evening.
NEW LAW BOTHERS CITIES
Attorney General Has a Job Figuring
Oat Its Application at Request (
OJ&clals from Many Iona
Cities.
(From a Staff Correspondent )
DBS MOINES, Jan.y 3 (Speclal.)-IIon.
Leslie M. Shaw, ex-aecretary of the treas
ury and ex-governor of Iowa, reached Dea
Moines today from Denlson, la., his former
home, where he spent New Year's day.
He spoke tonight at the Savery at the
banquet of the alumni of Cornell college,
of which he Is one. Tomorrow night lis
addresses the banqueters at Foster's opera
house following a banquet at the Savery.
"There la no politics In my visit to Iowa
at this time," said Mr. Bhaw to the news
papermen when they called upon him
today. He said It was true that a year or
so ago he had said that he would walk
across the country to Insure the election
of Speaker Cannon, but that he had not
talked politics recently. "I am Interested
In Iowa and Iowa affairs, and In national
affairs, too," he said, "and think we are
facing a great question In the matter nf
transportation. This Is more Important
than any question before' the American
people for many years."
Mr. Shaw la looking particularly well,
and Is heavier than when be was here two
years ago. He declined to be Interviewed
on political subjects, and as he Intends to
give his views of the financial situation
tomorrow night, he would not discuss thin.
He has Ills speech prepared, but ns he will
not closely follow his notes, he has en
gaged a stenographer to take the speech
In full.
Mr. Shaw will leave for Chicago Friday
night.
Cities and Town In Trouble.
Section 3 of chapter xxvi of the acts of
the last general assembly la causing a
great deal of trouble to the cities and
towns of Iowa. The law relates to the
number of councllmen, and the election of
mayor, councllmen and other officers.
Within the last few days scores of letters
have been stacked up on the desk of the
attorney general, asking for an Interpreta
tion of the law. The Intention of the law
was to change the number of aldermen In
towns and cities of the second class. In
doing so It was found necessary to lengthen
the term of some, and the law will not
be In full force and effect till 1510. For
this reason the law Is difficult to under
stand. The law cut the number down to
five councllmen and many cities which
have had more are In doubt whether to
elect one er two at the next election.
Attorney General Byers has taken the
matter up, but will not have an opinion
ready for some days.
.No Reprimand Yet.

reprimand of Captain Kulp. to whirl, he
