WATER BOARD CASE HEARING
Nash Company Waives Contention cf
Sufficiency of Petition.
ONLY TWO POINTS INVOLVED
e la Legality of Action of ( onnrll
ad Other I Whether City Iirbt
l.lmlt Permit lose of
the Uonda.
The hearing In the stilt lirought by th
C. B. Nash company of Omaha against the
city of Council Bluff attacking the- valid
ity of the proposed lsue of W0.0W bond
for the purchase or construction of a mu
nicipal water works systen was begun
yesterday afternoon before Judge Smith
McPherrnn In the United States court. Tha
testimony In the case wa taken during th
summer before J. J. Fergdaon, a court re
porter, under appointment a commissioner
from Judge McPherson.
Th Nash company during the hearing
yesterday afternoon decided to admit the
sufficiency of the petition asking the city
council to submit the. proposition of the
bond Issue to the voters of the city. Evi
dence in an effort to show that thla peti
tion lacked the required number of bona,
fide elector was taken during the summer.
With the elimination of the question of
the sufficiency of the petition the matters
now to he determined by the court are the
alleged Illegality of the action of the city
council In calling the special election at
which the proposition was submitted to the
voter and the question whether the Indent
ednees of the municipality I not already
In excess of the statutory amount. The
hearing will be resumed this morning.
In the suit brought by the Nnah company
In the district court for a mandamus to
compel the city council to correct the
records of its meetings at which action on
the proposition to submit the proposed
$W.O0O bond lsue was taken. Judge
Wheeler yesterday handed down his decis
ion denying the company a rehearing.
The Nruh company contended that no
meeting of the city council had been held
on Labor day of last year and that conse
quently no adjournment could be legally
taken to the next evening. Despite the fact
that no quorum was present on the even
ing of Labor day, the regular meeting night
of the cltv council, City Clerk Cosady,
It Is claimed and admitted by the city, had
made records of a meeting and the ad
journment t the following evening.
Tn his decision when the case was heard
Inst June Judge Wheeler held that It did
not require a quorum to adjourn a meet
ing to some other date and that the
reoorda of the proceedings of the city
council as amended and corrected subse
rviently were legal. In his decision handed
down yesterdny Judge Wheeler reaffirms
his former ruling with the exception of the
part holding that a quorum wa not neces
sary for adjournment. Judge Wheeler In
his decision yesterday declared that this
point was not directly Involved in the issue
presented In the pleading.

MIKES
III IBS
CIVIL
SlITS
Probably Will Bring Others In the
Federal Court.
For some reason aa yet unexplained nine
of the Mabray "Mikes" havo dismissed the
suits brought by them In the district court
against Ben Marks, the First National
bank of thla city Ernest E. Hart and
others to recover the money out of which
they allege they were fleeced on fake horse
race and wieatling matches.
Notice of ..ismlsanl at the cost of the
plaintiff was filed late yeBterday after
noon. Although no Information was forth
coming last evening from N. A. Crawford,
attorney for the many "Mikes" who have
brought suit In the state courts, it is
undei.itood that it is the intention of the
plaint. ;f In these nine cases to file new
suits against the .ame defendants in the
I'nlted States court.
"I am not at liberty to make any thing
publlo at this time." said Mr. Crawford
last evening. "It may be that I will be In
a position to explain why these cases were
(llsmlsKed In the district court tomorrow
or in a day or so."
Emmet Tinley, at'orney for the First
National bank and Mr. Hart said last
night thai he had heu i that several of
the suits brought by the "Mikes" had been
dismissed, but he had not been advlned a
to which the case were. He said ha had
been given to understand that It wa the
Intention to file new suits In the federal
court. "The filing of the suit In the
I'nlted Ftatwe court, whl-h holds but two
stsslona a year In Council Bluffs, will of
a necelty tend to delay the trial of these
cases. My clients have been ready and
ate anxious that the cases be disposed of
without delay," said Mr. Tlnley.

NOTIC E ROILS TUB OVNCILME
Resolution Adopted Expressing; Faith
In Official.
The notice eerved on Mayor Maloney by
the Street Railway company In which It
demanded better protection for It prop
erty and employe aroused the Ire of the
member of the city council and after ex
preuslng their Indignation In appropriate
language they adopted the following reso
lution last night:
Whereas, A communication has been re
ceived from the Omaha & Council Bluffs
Htreei Railway company reciting that Its
property and employes are not receiving
sufficient, adequate and proper protection
by the city, and,
Whereas, We recognise that the mayor
and police department are ti.akiug every
effort to protect life and property and are
exercising a wise discretion in furnishing
urh protection. Now, therefor, be It
Resolved, That the city council resent
the intimation that the mayor and police
of this city are not doing their duty and
that it expresses confidence In its officer
and Joins with them In all wise measures
necessary to preserve law and order In
the city.
Following the passage of thla resolution
Councilman Jensen called upon City Solic
itor Kimball to state what step he had
taken to compel the street railway company
to construct a guard rail between Its tracks
and Indian creek on East Broadway. Mr.
Kimball stated that so far he had not
made any move In the matter as he un
derstood notice or the order of the city
council had been served by the city clerk
on the company. "In my opinion," de
clared the city attorney, "the proper course
to pursue, If the conditions at the place
named are considered unsafe, would bo
for the mayor to stop the running of car
on East Broadway and If necessary to de
tail a force of police to stop them."
Mayor Maloney said he did not believe
that such a step would be necessary ns he
had been advised that the company would
::ttend to the matter as soon as the strike
was settled.
City Solicitor Kimball In a written com
munication to the council stated that he
had carefully examined the ordinances and
record relative to the street car franchise
and had formulated hi opinion, which
would be embodied In a Joint report to the
city council In the near future. The In
vestigation as to the condition of the fran
chise or franchises under which the street
railway company . Is operating In Council
Bluffs wa requested by tho Wet End
Improvement clubs and the Commercial
clubs.
The contract for Installing a steam heat
ing plant In the new central fire station
at the foot of Bryant street was awarded
to Stephen Bros., on their bid of 11,371.
This bid, Councilman Jensen said, was very
reasonable and waa $:50 to 4O0 less than
what It would cost to connect the house
with the municipal heating plant.
City Clerk Casady reported that no. bids
had been received for filling lots which
were below grade and which, from the stag
nant water in them, had become a menace
lo the health of the residents In their
vicinity. He was instructed to readvertlse.
The claim of Mrs. Mary Blaine for dam
ages for personal Injury caused by a fall
on a defective sidewalk , on recommen
dation of the Judiciary committee, ordered
settled for llli.
In session, as a board of health, the
counollmen adopted the rules formulated
by a special committee with a view to aid
ing in enforcing the provision of the newly
passed milk ordinance.

At It meeting yesterday morning the
Council Bluff Ministerial association was

Sidewalk Ordinance Attacked.
The validity of the city's new ordinance
regulating the construction of sidewalks
was attacked yeeterday In the district court
by counsel for the defendant In the In
junction suit of the Twin City Dye works
against the Miracle Concrete corporation
of Minneapolis, an action arising out of
the controversy between the Minneapolis
concern and J. P. Wlckham of this city
over tho cotract for a strip of sidewalk
on North Twenty-lath street between
Broadway and Avenue A In front of the
property owned by the dye works com
pany. The contract tot this place of walk wop
awarded the Miracle company, but through
aome error a yet' unexplained wa included
In the contract with. Wlckham.
The ordinance Is alleged to be Invalid
because of the provision requiring the con
tractors to deposit with the city 5 per cent
of the contract price as a penalty or for
feit for bidding and requiring them to
give bond for the completion of the work
within a specified time. It Is claimed that
the ordinance Is In conflict with the state
law which provides the manner In which
blis shall be made for the construction of
sidewalks.
It Is also contended that the ordinance
does not make aiy provision for repay
ment to contractor of the amount of their
forfeit If they are unable to complete the
work on account of unavoidable delays.

Nice Point in
Divorce Law
Dei Moinei Mm Fights Extradition
on the Charge of Wife
Desertion.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DCS MOINES, la., Sept. 27. (Special. )
Iaao Field man, a shoe dealer of thla city,
will realst the application for a requisition
to return him to Boston, Mass., to stand
trial for wife desertion. He has employed
Clinton R. Dorn, an attorney here, to de
fend him.
Fleldman's caae la an odd on. He Immi
grated to this country many years ago
snd sent regular remittances to his wife
till he had saved enough money to bring
her to America. Then he sent her money
and when she landed on the pier she had
a baby with her of which Fleldman was
evidently not tha father. He took his wife
and her child at once to the Jewish rabbi
snd wag promptly given a Jewish divorce.
He neglected or did not know that he had
to get a civil divorce also.
Then he came to Iowa and married again
and for many years has been a prosperous
merchant here. Now he Is charged with
wife desertion and there will be many
tangles and complications when the case
la presented to Governor Carroll tomor
row. Fleldman claims that It Is spite work
on the part ot some of his enemies. HI
attorney will resist the application for
requisition on the ground that Fleldman
Is not a fugitive from justice In Boston for
the reason that he ha never lived In
Boston and ha not been there for many
long year.
Newspaper announcement was made to
day In the Creston Advertiser of the condl
dacy of Adam Tlckett of that city for
state superintendent of public Instruction.
Pickett is the second to be formally an
nounced, the other being A. L. Hemlnger of
Kcosauqua. Politicians are discussing the
probability that the position may go to
some strong northern man If one comes
out because most of the candldatea oom-
lng from the southern part of the state
would naturally divide the vote In that
section, leaving a northern man a field
to himself.
Hiram C. Wheeler, who wa a candidate
for governor of Iowa at the time Horace
C. Boies was elected, died at the home of
his daughter, Mrs. Byron L. Mills, 1107
Alnslle street, Chicago, Sunday.
Efforts are being made to find J. D.
McNeely, a wealthy farmer of Hampton,
Ia., who left home ostensibly to attend
the Iowa state fair, but has not been seen
since. He had $1,000 in cash when he
left home. He has a farm of 300 acres
clear of debt which Is well stocked.
The Fort Dodge Chronicle Is responsible
for a story that John T. Hamilton, who
resigned a few days ago from the State
Board of Control may be the democratic
nominee for governor next year unle
Hon. John Cowni of the board la a
candidate against Governor Carroll and 1
nominated. The Messenger uggests that
unless John Cownle defeats Carroll the
State Board of Control will be made an
issue In politics in the stato by Hamilton
being named by the democrats. The Mes
senger's article raises the question with
politicians a to whether or not Hamil
ton's resignation was not with an eye
to the future of politics in Iowa as well
as because of the demands of his business
affair upon hi time.
