MORE CITY BONDS ARE SOLD

of Twenty Thousand Block.

C ry Treasurer True yesterday announced
th wale if the $JV0"O worth of city bonds
authorized by the council to pay the bal
ance due on the new central f.re station
and to settle th bill of S,500 for the new
arc.al fire truck. The bonda were sold
to the Harris Trust and Savings bank of
t'hlcapo at a premium of I17S and ac
cumulated Interest. The purchasers also
agreed to furnish the blank bonds to de
fray the cost of a leal opinion as to the
validity of the bond Issue. The bunds
draw 4'-j per cent and run ten years. City
Treasurer True rsards the Bale as a very
advantageous one and also as indicating
the hlKh credit of the city.
The necessity for Issuing bonds In times
of prosperity such as the city lias enjoyed
for several years has been the cause of
some comment, but City Treasurer Trite
declares that this email Issue is not at all
discreditable.
"Of the hundreds of thousands of dollars'
worth of city bonds Issued In the past and
which we are still paying, the city hss
now absolutely nothing to show for the
expenditures represented by the Issues, and
the new fire station and the truck will be
ths only evidence In .after years that the
tapsers ever got anything for their
money," said Mr. True. "The fire station
and the big truck, since the wisdom of the
council decided it to be necessary, had to
be paid for, and bonds at low Interest nnd
short time was the best method of raising
the money. More than 2n0,000 of the old
bond Issue which we are now paying was
for current expenses when the receipts fell
far ahort of expenditures. We have cer
tainly nothing now to ehow for the ex
penditure of the money except our good
credit. The bonds Issued for Intersection
paving belong to the same class. The Inter
sections are worn out and are being re
placed. Expenditures requiring bond Issues
li. the future must be of such a nature
that tangible and visible results are ob
tained." The bonds were held by E. Q. Lougee,
b took them from Contractor Ueorge
F. Hughes after the completion of t
building. The contractor required payment
at the rate of A per month for a period
of twenty years. The Hughes bid waa
about :i,000 lower than that of his nearest
competitor, and hla cash offer for the work
waa 13.400 less than the time price. The
city would thus have saved nearly one
third of the cost If the bond Issue had
been made before the structure was built
and the cash offer accepted.

and His Costly Horse
Man from Waltiull, Neb., Likely to
Have Trouble Explaining: His
Ownentip.
J. A. Kinney of Walthill, Neb., la being
held at the police station for Investigation
which the police have reason to believe will
connect him w)th the theft of a valuable
horse from Edward Driver, a farmer re
siding in Boomer township. The horse was
stolen Monday night, and on Tuesday an
animal answering the description waa
offered by Kinney to former Alderman
C. V. Crtppen at a very low prioe. Crip-
pen and D. U. Mason, an employe, yester
day Identified Kinney aa the man who
offered the horse. Kinney refuses to talk
and the missing horse has not been
located.
Kinney was really taken Into custody on
an old charge of horse stealing. Five
year ago he hired a horse and carriage
from William Neuflnd, town marshal at
Missouri Valley, drove It to Omaha and
sold the whole outfit to Peter Oravert, who
now runa a salon at 1S12 Cuming street,
Omaha, and who then resided In Benson
and had a livery stable. Oravert paid $190
for the rig but was soon obliged to turn It
over to the owner. He had been anxious
to get Kinney ever since and haa had the
Omaha and Council Bluffs detectives on
the lookout for him. Marshal Neuflnd baa
since died, and there Is nobody to prose
cute the theft charge. Prosecution Is, how
ever, barred bj- the statute of limitation.
Kinney haa a long prison record. A num
ber of years ago he stole a bunch of cattle
from a farm near Crescent and was sent to
Fort Madison prison. After hla release he
stole a team of horses In Nebraska and
served two years in the Unooln prison.
me pouce aay iney nave a strong case
against him again. A reward of 1100 baa
been offered for the return of the horse

The Omaha Crescents basket ball team
defeated the Council Bluffs Toung Men s
Christian Association club at the Bluffs
Toung Men's Christian association last
night In a one-sided game, 60 to 23.
Before the regular game the Congrega
tlonals defeated the Methodists, U to 8.
Neither side scored a point In the second
half.
The Crescents were too heavy for the
Bluffs boys and their superior all-around
team work waa too much for them. Both
Parish and Barrowman, the forwards, put
up a good game for the Crescents In the
first half, Barrowman throwing three bas
keta, while Pariah got four baskets and
five free throwa Hendricks, right forward,
was the star of the Bluffs team, throwing
two baskets and two free throws. The
score at the end of the first half was:
Oounoll Bluffs Toung Man's Christian as
sociation, 11; Omaha Crescents, 26.
In the second half K. Cook went in for
Sanford, Hutchinson for C. Cook and Moal
ler for Robinson. This half started to ha
an exciting one, but the Omaha Crescents1
soon ran away from theih opponents, :
though the Bluffs boys played good team
work. The half ended with the same '
score. Hendricks again was the star In
this half, getting five of the eleven points.
Osborne made a long throw for a basket
that waa applauded. Pariah mat i
points, and Ritchie, canter for the Cres
cents, had a run of good luck, getting five
baskets in succession, netting ten points,
which was a feature of the game. The
game ended by the following score: Coun

The friends of William Wendt, the young

belief that his daath was due to suicide.
Death was apparently caused by a revolver

An old-faahloned Colt's revolver was found
