V. F. Effenger. a switchman employed
by the Rock Island railroad, received se
rious Injuries last evening by a fall from
the car on which he was riding. He Was
standing on the bumpers when a sudden
lurch of the train threw him off and ha
fell headlong, striking on his head at the
aide of the track where a pile of rough
Iron lay on the ground. A number of se
vere scalp wounds were inflicted and one
ear was almost severed. Cutler's ambu
lance was summoned and he was taken to
Mercy hospital. : At a late hour last night
he was st.ll In a comatose condition, but

A Jury was empaneled In the dlatr.ot
court yesterday afternoon to hear the evi
dence In the suit of W. R. Smith against
the Omaha and Council Bluffs Street Ha I
way company for alleged humiliation and
Indignities heaped upon him when, as he
alleges, the conductor made a mistake.
Smith held a commutation book and made
regular dally trips from Counoll Bluffs to
his work In Omaha, starting on his Journev
from his home, near the Fifth avenue car
line. One day last summer a new con
ductor had charge of the avenue oar nnd
when Smith presented his commutation
book the conductor made the mlatnke of
punching the wrong date. When mlth
boarded the Omaha lino the conductor on
the car detected the error and refused to
accept the ticket and made remarks that
reflected upon the. voracity of Hmlth. A
rather violent ciuarrel followed and Smith
alleges the conductor used language that
was not only prohibited by the company's
rules, but Is barred In society scarcely up
to the degree of refinement called polll.
He says the car was full of people and the
humiliation he suffered was worth & COO.
The suit will be on trial all day today.

J. P. Enyart. W years old, was almost In
stantly killed last evetilng, when a Mil
waukee psssensrer train ctruok his buggy
as he wa.1 driving over a grade crossing
near the Sperling farm a mile eaat of
Council Bluff.-. The train was running about
fifty miles an hour and when It struck the
vehicle In which the aged man wse riding,
he was thrown nearly 100 feet. His skull
was fractured, both legs broken and one
arm shattered. The buggy was smashed Into
bits and the borne was Injured so badly
that It had to be killed at once.

The accident occurred about o'clock In
The accident occurred, about ( o'clock last
evening. Mr. Enyart had driven to town
and was returning to his home about a
mile beyond the crorslng. The Milwaukee)
and the Rock Island tracks are close to
gether at the point, and as the old man
approached the crossing he had a food
view along the tracks of the Hick Island,
whldh he approached first, but could not
see so well along the other track le'a.than
200 fet beyond. The approaching train waa
the Milwaukee flyer and was going at full
speed. According to the statement of. the
trainmen, the old man was apparently un
aware of , the preeence of the train. '
Train Drlna-K Body.'.
The train wan stopped and backed up
and the body put aboard and taken to the
local station where It was turned over to
Undertaker Cutler by order of Coroner
Treynor.
Mr. Knyart was a, brother of the late
Mrs. E. L. Shugart and uncle of Lyman T.
Phugart, vice president , of tbe Shugart-Kmpkle-HIll
wholesale hardware company,
and owner of the Edgewood farm, four
miles east of town. Besides his aged wife,
he Is survived by one aon, Herbert Enyart
of New Tork City, and one daughter, Mrs.
F. Poultney of Chicago. He had lived In
this vicinity for many years. Notwithstand
ing his extreme age he was still vigorous,
but falling eyesight and dullness of hear

that caured his death.
Bakery Enlargement
Spoils Factory Site
Metzger Improvements Will Close
Windows of Specialty Hardware
Firm and Make Difficulties.
The A. Mettger A Co. bakery, building on
Mynster street, built In 1907 to house the
largest wholesale bakery In Iowa, has be
come too small for the business and -workmen
have been engaged for the last few
daya In tearing down a one-story brick sec
tion used for the shipping and receiving
business to make room for an addition of
the same dimensions as the main building,
giving the factory a frontage of ninety feet
on Mynster atreet.
The capacity of the bakery Is 10,000 loavea
a day and the addition will Just double Its
capacity, 'although at present only suffi
cient oven and machinery capacity will be
added to provide for a dally output of
13,000 loavea. ,The new part will be of the
same handsome architectural character as
the main structure, the extreme corner ris
ing in the same graceful tower as now
adorns the ' original structure. The new
building will be three stories high, .includ
ing the basement. The concrete founda
tions have been put In while tho workmen
were engaged In tearing away the brick
walls upon the portions necessary to he
demolished, and the Intention Is to rush
the work regardless of weather conditions
until the new building Is ready for occu
pancy. The cost of the new building will
be about $10,000, exclusive of the cost of
demolishing the portion that had to-be re
moved. '
The enlargement of the bakery building
will compel Contractor Peterson, who con
structed a new two-floored brick building
for the use of the George N. Hall Specialty
Hardware Manufacturing company, to en
large that building or oblige the company
to seek other quarters. The walls of the
new bakery building Will close all of the
windows on the west aide of the specialty
building, making It impossible to use the
apparatus in the electric plating depart
ment of the works on account ot the loss
of light. The factory building was. con
Btructed last autumn with special reference
to the requirements of the Hall conipany,
with windows as thickly placed as poesible
In the walls on both aides of the port' on
used -as a plating-room: The Commerce!
club la Interested in the specialty plant to
the extent of being responsible .for its lo
cation here by providing a suitable bu.ld
Ing and furnishing It one year rent free
upon a five years' lease. The 'closing of
the windows annuls the lease and the only
remedy is to enlarge the building upon
ground owned, by Contractor Peterson,
which w'll provide the required light and
be safe from danger of interference by ad
Joining buildings. The specialty company
Is crowded with orders and far behind in
Its deliveries, owing to delays n getting
started, and Manager Hall has appealed to
the Commercial club and Contractor Peter
son for speedy relief.

Property owners residing In the vicinity
of fl7 East Pierce street, the location of
the Creche, yesterday filed a protest
a'a,'nst the decision of the county super
visors to purchase the adjoining property
for use as a detention home for children.
At the last session of tbe board an opt on
was taken on the property at the price of
S4.&30 and a lease entered Into for ona year
pending the taking up of the option after
certain defects In the title were cleared.
The building, a comfortable dwelling bouae.
Is separated from the Creche by. only a
narrow driveway, and with Its acquisition
the Creche will own practically all of the
property in the block. The nearby real
tUnts aad property owners do not desire to
bavw the detention home located there, and
as it haa been decided to place It under
the maoasemcDt of the Associated Chari
ties there Is no ol'ier r!ac for it where it
may be conveniently under the supervision
of Matron Johnson. This board conse

to seek another location.

Business Men Meet
and Decide to Install
Modern Light Plant
Streets Are Soon to Glow with Eleo-
troliers if Pioject Outlined is
Carried Out.
A conference of earnest and active Coun
cil Bluffs business men, held last evening
In the city building at the invitation of
Mayor Maloney, resulted In the deciKlon
to have the business streets of the city
lighted after the manner of real up-to-date
towns. Alderman Fisher also attended the
conference. In addition there were pres
ent W. A. Maurer, E. L. Duquette, George
F. Hamilton, Oeorge Qerner and Julius
t'nger with messages from a large num
ber of others pledging themselves to abide
by whatever decision waa reached.
Mayor Maloney stated that his purpose
la calling them together was to get two or
thiee representative men In each block In
terested In the effort to modernize the
street lighting system and let them work
on their neighbors. The plan outlined was
to secure the consent of the property own
ers and the business men who occupied
leased buildings to agree to defray the ex
pense of Installing a large number of
pedestal lights. The plan first proposed
was the five-light pedestal system, but Mr.
Maurer stated that a recent trip to El Paso,
Tex., had convinced him that the single
lights suspended from a "goose-neck" post
were . preferable for the reason that it
permitted the lights to be placed much
closer and the cost of the posts waa one
fourth less. He had figured It out that it
would cost each business man not more
than $7.60 for his share of the expense, and
the Increased cost of current by using
sixty-watt tungstens would be but a trlfl
more than is now paid under the arc sys
tem. It waa decided to Induce the business
men to agree to Join In the work and light
Broadway from the Methodist church to
the ' Northwestern and Main and Pearl
streets to the Junction.
The question then arose of abating the
nuisance caused by the forest of huge poles
belonging to. the telegraph and some of the
telephone companies and compelling all of
t,he wire companies to put their lines under
ground. It 'was practically agreed upon
that the necessary ordinance should be
passed as quickly as it could be put
through the council and get all of the com
panies to begin the work of conduit con
struction in time to complete it before
the . new paving on Broadway and Main
streets Is laid. It waa also suggested that
the Commercial club be called upon to lend
its assistance In securing the co-operation
of the business men in the lighting enter
prise. Mayor Maloney agreed to write to
El Paso and other towns where the curb
pedestal system has been Installed and
ascertain the cost of the single and double
light posts.

of his money and made their escane.
Thomas waa in a hospital for many months

of the terrible blows that were showered
upon h's head.- He has been aubject to
