Nash Company Waives Contention of
Sufficiency of Petition.
ONLY TWO POINTS INVOLVED
One la Legality of Action of Council
and Other Is Whether City lebt

The hearing In the suit brought by ths
C. B. Nash company of Omaha against the
.... . .. ...... vallA.
OI "7 J" 7.
Ity of the proposed Issue of pM.wo bonas
for the purchase or construction or a mu
nicipal water works systerri was begun
yesterday afternoon before Judge Mnltn
McPherrnn In the United States court. The
testimony In the case was taken during tho
summer before J. J. Ferguson, a court re
porter, under apiolntment as commissioner
from Judge Mcl'herson.
The Nash company during the henrlng
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 this peti
tion laked the required number of bona
fide electors was taken during the summer.
With the elimination of the question of
the sufficiency of the petition the matters
now to be 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
voters and the question whetner the Indebt
edness of the municipality Is not already
In excess of tha statutory amount. The
.hearing will be resumed this morning.
In the suit brought by the Nnsh 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 tho proposed
$W,000 bond Issue was taken. Judge
Wheeler yesterday handed down his decis
Ion denying the company a rehearing.
The Nnth 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 dny, the regular meeting night
of the cltv council, City Clerk Caeiidy
It Is claimed and admitted by the city, had
made records of a meeting and the ad
Journment I" the following evening.
In his decision when the case was heard
last June Judge Wheeler held that It did
not require a quorum to adjourn a meet
Ing to some other date and that the
reoords of the proceedings of the city
council as amended and corrected subse
quently were legal. In his decision handed
down yesterday Judge Wheeler reaffirms
his former ruling wllh the exception of the
part holding that a quorum was not neces
sary for adjournment. Judge Wheeler In
his decision yesterday declared that thla
point was not directly Involved In the Issue
presented In the pleading.

MIKES
DISMISS
CIVIL
81 ITS
Probably Will Bring Others In the
Federal Court.
For some reason as yet unexplained nine
of the Mabray "Mikes" have dismissed the
suits brought by them In the district court
against Ben Marks, the First National
bank of this city, Ernest E. Hart and
others to recover the money out of which
they allege they were fleeced on fake horse
races and wrestling matches.
Notice of ilismlssnl at the cost of the
plaintiff was filed late yesterday 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.uood that It Is the intention of the
pla't.t.rt In theve nine cases to file new
suits against tne .ame defendants In the
United States court.
"I am not at liberty to make any thing
public at thla time." said Mr. Crawford
last evening. "It may be that I will be In
a position to explain why these cases were
ti1mised 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 .1 that several of
ths sultb brought by the "Mikes" had been
dismissed, but lis had not been advised as
to which ths case were. He said he had
been given to understand that it was the
intention to file new suits In the federal
court. "The filing of the suit-- In the
United States oourt, whlh holds but two
st salons a year In Council Bluffs, will of
a necessity 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. Tinley.

NOTICE ROILS THE f?f OILMEN
Resolution Adopted Expressing Faith
In Officials.
The. notice served on Mayor Maloney by
the Street Railway company In which It
demanded better protection for Its prop
erty and employes aroused the Ire of ths
members of the city council and after ex
pressing 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
Street Railway company reciting that Its
property and employes are not receiving
sufficient, adequate and proper protection
by tho city, and.
Whereas, We recognize that the mayor
and police department are ii.aking every
effort to protect life and property and are
exercising a wise discretion in furnishing
uch protection. Now, therefor", be It
Resolved, That the city council resents
the intimation that the mayor and polloe
of thla city are not doing their duty and
that It expresses confidence In Its officers
and Joins with them In all wise measures
necessary to preserve law and order in
the city.
Following the passage of this resolution
Councilman Jensen called upon City Solic
itor Klmbail to state what steps he had
taken to compel the street railway company
to construct a guard rail between Its tracks
nnd Indian creek on East Broadway. Mr.
Kimball stated that so far he had not
made any move In the matter as lie 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, "ths proper course
tn pursue, If the conditions at the place
named are considered unsafe, would bo
for tho mayor to stop the running of cars
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 as he
had been advised that the company would
Litend 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
records relative to the street car franchises
and had formulated his 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 was requesled by tho West 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 $1,371
This bid, Councilman Jensen said, was vary
reasonable and was $360 to $400 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 sta?
nant water In them, had become a menace
to the health of the residents in their
vicinity. He was instructed to readvertlse

W. r. T. V. Asks Help.
At Its meeting yesterday morning the
Council Bluffs Ministerial association was
waited upon by a committee consisting of
Mrs. O. O. Oldham and Mrs. J. R. Hop
kins from the Woman's Christian Temper

Sidewalk Ordinance Attacked.
The validity of the city's new ordinance
regulating tl,e construction of sidewalks
was attacked yecterday 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. Wickham of this city
over tho cotract for a strip of sidewalk
on North Twenty-sixth street between
Broadway and Avenue A In front of the
property owned by the dye works com
pany. The contract folf' this place of walk wap
awarded the Miracle company, but through
aome error as yet' unexplained was included
In the contract with Wickham.
The ordinance Is alleged to be Invalid
because of the provision requiring the con
tractors to deposit with the city 6 per cent
of the contract price as a penalty or for
felt ror 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
b!s shall be made for the construction of
sidewalks.
It is also contended that the ordnance
does not make aiy provision for repay
ment to contractors of the amount of their
forfeits If they are unable to complete the
work on account of unavoidable delays.

Nice Point in
Divorce Law
Dei Moinei Man Fighti Extradition
on the Clurg-e of Wife
Desertion.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, la.. Sept 17. tSpeclal.)
Isaao Field man, a shoe dealer of this city,
will resist 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.
Fleldmsn's case Is an odd one. He Immi
grated to this country many years ago
and sent regular remittances to his wife
till he had saved enough money to bring
lier 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 the father. He took his wife
and her child at once to the Jewish rabbi
snd was 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
wire desertion and there will be many
tangles and complications when the case
Is presented to Governor Carroll tomor
row. Fleldman claims that it is spite work
on the part of some of his enemies. His
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 has never lived In
Boston and has not been there for many
long years.

probability that the position may go to

ing from the southern part of the state
would naturally divide the vote In that
section, leaving a northern man a field
to himself.

The Fort Podge 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 unless
Hon. John Cownie of the board is a

nominated. The Messenger suggests that
unless John Cownie 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

politicians as to whether or not Hamil

to the future of politics In Iowa as well
as because of the demands of his business
