Admlttlng that he wen only M year old.
and confessing that four and one-half years
of his life had been spent In penal servi
tude for the punishment of crime he had
committed, tiordon Bowers, son of the s
slntant yardmastcr of the Hock Island rail
road, sat In the witness stand In Justice
Cooper's court yesterday and detailed the
stories of a fresh series of crimes In which
lie was a jartlclpant. These Included the
noiaupg in falrninunt park and the street
leading to the south entrance of the park.
on the night of January 4, but the soft
pedal was placed on other Incidents of
his brief career. He had turned state's
evidence and testified against his partners
In the holdup enterprise, only one of whom,
Mert Kins. was present for preliminary
hearing. Jack Scully, the other. Is missing.
Upon his promise to make a clean breast
of It Bowers had been promised Immunity1
from punishment by County Attorney Ca
pe!! and he kept his word to the letter.
Bowers had taken a change of venue
from the police court and was repre
sented by Attorney Kmmet Tlnley and
Colonel John Limit. Every statement he
made to Chief of Police Froom and the
police detectives was verified, and his
whole confession, made In the office of the
county attorney and taken down In short
hand by a court reporter In the presence
nl" 'ior"y. toward Mmon. was louna
I'urk liooil I'luce to Work.
The case lasted all day yesterday. Bow
ers was brought over from the county
Jull, cool and collected, and under- the
guidance of the county attorney rehearsed
the story of the Fairmount park holdups.
He denied, however, that the park was se-
i lected for the reason that It afforded an
excellent site for a street car holdup. He
i-a id It waa because there had been no
' roboera In the park," and few people
were "afraid to go through It In the dark,"
and that the lonely locality made a get
away tasy. He detailed the meeting of
the three men at his boarding place, loJQ
High street, and planning the holdups;
that they passed through the park for a
preliminary survey before It was dark and I
walked down as far as the Methodist
church, where they loitered around until !
it was time to begin. He described the
wearing apparel of each long dark over
coats, dark caps and the red handker
chiefs' to be used for masks. He detailed
the first holdup, the robbery ot F. C.
Meek, near the deer pens; then succes
sively of Hock and Uyard, further down
the street. The fourth holdup waa. not
lung In on the case, for reasona that were
not divulged. Minute detail were given
of each case. He said he and Jack Sculley
hold automatic pistols to the heads of their
victims while Mert King searched them.
Then Meek, Hock and Byard, ' who had
been kept out of the room and knew noth
ing of Bowers' confession, were brought In
uccesslvtly and corroborated with start
ling nlcejy every detail related by Bower.
The statement of Bower as to what
the tiio of holdup did after the robbery
was as fully corroborated by other wit
nesses, Including 8. O. Kannoyer and Mia
Lucy Palmer, slater of Joe Palmer, another
of the Sixteenth avenue gang of thieves.
This Included the changing of their clothe,
the borrowing by bower ot a hat from
Kannoyer, who waa sick in bed. to replace
the cap; the disposition of the automatic
gun and the examination of the fine gold
watch taken from byard, which King said
he would take to Omaha and get appraised
and then let his brother, who, the police
say, ha acted a the fence, and who I
now missing, dispose of It. Chief of Po
lice Froom submitted only a portion of the
evidence In his possession fixing unequlv
ocably the guilt upon King.
When Attorney Tlnley came to cross
examine Bowers he brought out his crim
inal record and alluded to the many In
stances of car robberies the man had been
Implicated In, but bowers fell back upon
hi right to refuse to answer on the plea
of incriminating himself. Bower ha been
a railroad brakeman and is capable ot
earning a large salary, but It appear that
a,' greater part of time ha been devoted to
crime.

Assessor Matlack,
Bitten by Canine,
Puts Him on Book
Chances Are Vicious Animal's Act
Will Cost Dog Owners of County i
Nice Nest Egrg.
Joe Matlack. one of the county assessors
who was chiefly Instrumental In prevent
ing a strike and a general walkout of the ;
fifty asspsso'M when the board ot county j
supervisors two weeks ago icfuseil to
raise their pay. has had an experience
tha,t will bilng results gratifying to the
county hoard.
The township assessors nave been re
turning about 1 per cent of the actual
number nf dogs In the county, according
to the belief of the members of the county
board, and as the board had to allow
claims aggregating more ttian 700 at the
last session for damages done by dogs to
farm stock, the members insisted upon as
sessors finding enough dogs to raise the
dog tax collections to at least that figure.
Yesterday a committee of the assessors
came to town to present a renewal of the
petition for higher pay, and a score or
more of assessors came as a support to
the committee. Among them was Mr. Mat
lack, assessor of Crescent township. He
showed a badly swollen arm, where a huge
mastiff had bitten him the day before, and
told the Btory of the attack. He had gone
to a house to make the assessment and
rapped , on the door. It was opened by a
woman, end the Instant it Mas ajar the big
dog sprang through It and iaslened his
teeth on Matlack'a left arm, biting through
a heavy overcoat and other garments,
making a painful wound. The woman made
no attempts to control the savage beast
and Matlack had a hard fight to protect
himself.
"You bet I assessed that dog," said Mat
lack, "and It made me so mad that I have
sworn to get every dog In my township."
Other assessors detailed similar experi
ences and the Idea of taking revenge on dog
owners by assessing every pup on the
places spread like contagion. The belief
Is that it will add about J.XU to the tax
list.

ENGINEER DEAN'S CHARGES
FORM BASIS OF OBJECTIONS
Mahnabotna Project Causes Storm of
Protest from Property Uvracr
Affected.
More than half a hundred deeply Inter
ested land owner gathered In the south
room of the county court hou yesterday
and spent the day In the presence of the
member of the Board of County Super
vlaor wrangling over the establishment
of the Nlshnabotna drainage ditch, a hug
enterprise that la to cost about tlOO.OUO,
and which la to straighten the channel of
the (ream from th town of Oakland to
the Mill county line, passing through
Carson, destroying the town' chlefest as
set, It milling plant, electric light sta
tion and pumping work for the 'muni
cipal water supply. . The meeting wa
for th purpose of hearing protest against
the establishment ot the ditch and ex
pression In It favor. Th estimates of
Engineer Heth Dean of th damage In
curred by th land owner had been fixed
at 119,910.36, and thla had been accepted
by th board for th time being. But the
protect that were filed yesterday showed
that this mm would constitute but a small
part of the damage that will be asked If
the ditch la put through.
For example, the engineer and the board
allowed the Carson Milling company but
M.i&O for th destruction of the mill and
adjunc t plants, while the amount claimed
Is $30,000. The board did not pat upon
this feature of th case, as Attorney Prank
Shlnn haa taken It Into the district court.
A majority ot those present appeared
to oppose th ditch, and Attorney Bhlnn
aid that but twenty-three of the land
owner were favorable and sixty-four were
opposing the ' establishment of the ditch.
He also stated that if the board went
ahead and established tha Improvement it
would be enjoined In the district court.
A great deal ot Intense feeling waa mani
fested throughout the proceeding and a
seen ot real dramatic Interest occurred
when Attorney Bhlnn. representing th ob
jector, made the general protest that
the aurvey made by Engineer Dean were
not auffictently accurate and complete to
enable th board to make a fair estimate
ot the costs ot the ditch or tha assess
ment of the benefit and damages.
For th purpose ot showing this he ques
tioned th engineer and brought out the
Intimation that Dean had not only been
Inaccurate in his work, but that he had
overcharged the farmer for hi work In
running the preliminary survey. Th en
gineer bill waa 10S, and Attorney Shlnn
declared that while Dean wa alleged to
be earning thl money tn Pottawattamie
county he wa at the aama time drawing
pay for aimllar work tn Harrison and Fre
mont counties. He claimed that during
the month of August last Dean charged
th Nlshnabotna farmer 190 for fifteen
day and In that same month did work In
Fremont county for which ha charged
