ployed by the Milwaukee road.
C. A. Tlbbr.tta yesterday received a tele
fram announcing the death of his step
.nother at her home In Kansas. Her death
wan sudden, following so closely upon the
announcement of her Illness that he had
tot completed arrangements to visit the
ld home, which he has not seen for five
fears.
Kira Strickland, aged 70 years, died
yesterday afternoon at Mercy hospital of
heart trouble, from which ha had been a
sufferer for six months. He Is survived
by two daughters. Ida May Ptrlokland and
Mrs. Nettle Lonser, and three sons, Clar
nco. Charles and Grant. The body will
e burled In Walnut Hill cemetery.
Adam l'savowskl, whloh la about as near
is any person around police headquarters
can spell It or sny It, was arraigned ln
police court yesterday on the charge of
larceny, preferred, by Detective Callaghan.
The detective found him In possession of a
suit of clothes that were stolen on Wednes
day from the home of W. W. Mulllca, 721
Third avenue. His case was not con
sluded. Lois Gertrude Blgelow, the I-year-old
laughter of Mr. and Mra. J. F. Blgelow,
died yesterday at their home, 2018 Fifth
avenue, of pneumonia, after an Illness of
two weeks. The disease followed the same
fatal course It has observed In nearly all
of the cases that have occurred ln the
ctty for the last several months. The body
will be taken today to Wellnvllle, Kan., for
burial.
The long delay ln completing the Street
car line on lienton street, which has left
the atreel In at tuiii up and almost Im
passable condition, has had one beneficial
effect. It has permitted the water to soak
Into the newly filled approaches of the
Benton street bridge and cauaed the earth
to settle Into all klnda of oddly shaped
cavities. Roma of the depressions are sev
eral feet deep. The subsidence would have
occurred after the paving waa laid, re
peating the bad conditions at the Frank
Btreet bridge.
Standing on two planks six Inches wide
and two feet apart, William Hughes, ths
daring bricklayer engaged to repair the
weakened arch above the window In one of
the towers of the Grand hotel, at the top
of the seventh floor, performed his work
yesterday while a thousand people, more
or less, looked up at him from the street,
expecting him to fall or be blown off his
frail perch by the sixty-mile gale that was
buffeting him. But he never even dropped
a little bit of mortar. The work was done
with the same sangfroid as If he had been
daubing around a cellar window.
Violations of city ordinances caused the
appearance In police court yesterday morn
ing of four persona Joe Soamldts was
tacking up algns and distributing adver
tising matter without taking out ths re
quired license. He settled by fully com
plying with the law. Isadora Santas waa
peddling Ice oream with a wagon, and put
up the defense that he waa an employe of
I. Muccl. He also put up a S2& bond for
his appearance at a later date. His plea
waa fully sustained by Mr. Muccl, who
declared him to be one of five men thus
engaged, not Including those who go about
with push carts. The police officials deny
this and olalm to be able to show that
Isadora has no other connection with the
Muccl factory than la required to buy his
stock. C. W. Ward was sending his auto
mobile along the atreets at a thirty-five
mile gait when the police officers stopped
him. He put up a bond of 127.86 to cover
contingencies until he la able to show that
his speedometer had gono on strike or his
high gear clutch became frightened and ran
away with his machine. 1'. Egyr, driver
of a commission wagon, fractured an ordi
nance and also damaged a cement side
walk by driving over It. His appearance
bond of 6 waa forfeited.
COMPANIES MAKE COMPROMISE
Street Hallway and Telephone Cor
porntlona Reach Agreement
About Poles.
Ths chief cause of the delay In the work
of the car line extensions was disclosed
yesterday when It waa announced that
compromise had been effected between the
Btreet railway company and the telephone
companies. On Benton street and North
Ktghth street the telephone wires wers
suspended on little poles that left them
five feet lower than the trolley wires. AH
of the material used for the construction
of the car lines had to be hauled by
wagona and teams from Broadway, and
when the end of the Benton street line
progressed to a point several blocks away
from ths base of supplies construction
work became slower and costlier, and had
to be stopped altogether when the diffi
culty of dragging the rails, slxty-stx feet
long snd ninety-seven pounds to the yard
up the Benton street hill became too great
for the horses.
The cost of raising the wires was a lit'
tie less than la). Then the compromise
was effected. Its exact nature was not
disclosed, but the telephone people imme
d'ately began preparation for the wire rais
in!. Another cause for delay, which la said
to be only minor, since the company has
Incurred all of the danger of Interruption
by the work already done. Is the require
ment to pay into the city clerk's office
tre whole amount of paving cost to be re
funded to the property owners. This has
not been through any fault of the com
pany, however. The lust assessment was
only completed fy the council, at the 9
rlal meeting yesterday afternoon, which
only includes the I ten ton street work. The
schedule will be Immediately submltttd
by City Clerk Duff. The schedules for
the North Eighth street, South Main
afreet and First avenue assessments is
now being checked over by the company.
If found all right, the money, HO.iii.OS,
will be paid at once.

An engine that carried fire-fighting ap

thirty feet deep. Tho construction train
from Moberly, pushing the pile driver

destruction of the trestle had not been dis
covered In time to warn the approaching
rain. The pile driver obstructed the view
ahead and the engineer had no intimation
of danger until the pile driver was almoat

Horse Trainer Hurt;
Horse Falls on Him
Taylor Gordon Rides Animal Along
Steep Ridge, Where Acci
dent Occurs.
Tumbling down a steep hill for a dis
tance of nearly 100 yards snd landing In
a ditch fifteen feet deep with a horse on
top of him, Taylor Gordon, a well known
horse trainer, had a succession of narrow
escapes from death yesterday. The hand
some 500 dapple gray family horse be
longing to M. F. Rohrer, which Gordon
was riding, was killed, and Gordon re
ceived injuries that may prove serious.
The accident happened at 10 o'clock yes
terday morning In Rohrer's park, Just out
side of the northern limits of Falrvlew
cemetery and about too yards from the
soldiers' monument. Gordon and George
Adklns, a local real estate man, were
riding horseback over the narrow foot
paths that afford the only passageways
in that locality. Winding around the back
bones of the steep hills they make beauti
ful bridle paths, and Gordon had taken
Adklns there to show him the beauties of
some of the natural scenery around Coun
cil Bluffs. He had been using Mr. Rohrer's
horse and had the privilege to take it from
tha Mlnnick barns whenever he desired. He
had followed one of the sharp rldgea down
ward' until he could go no further, and
when he went to turn he found the horse
standing on an apex as sharp almoat as
the roof of a house with sides a great
deal steeper.
He trusted to the horse's Intelligence to
maJte the turn without dismounting. But
the ridge was too narrow and the horse
went over backward. The riding saddle
had small Iron stirrups and Gordon was
unable to extract his feet before the horse
fell and the two rolled over and over
until the foot of the declivity waa reached
and then dropped over the sheer precipice
at the bottom of the ravine.
Gordon was pinioned by the body of the
horse. The 'fall had broken the animals
back and three of its legs, and It lay upon
the man Inert and helpless. Adklns, who
had not followed along ths dangerous path,
hurried to the assistance of his companion,
and only rescued him after having been
compelled to partially dig him out.
The man did not reach town until after
several hours had elapsed, and Gordon
was taken to the home of his son, Edward
Gordon, at 2S4S Avsnue C, Gordon Is about
50 years old, and weighs more than 800
pounds. He was brulssd on almost every
part of his body, but his Injuries are not
thought to be grave.
Mr. Rohrer was not advised of the acci
dent until after S o'clock, and then he went
to the scene accompanied by Adklns and
others. They had soma difficulty ln find
ing the locality. The faithful horse was still
alive and whinnied affectionately as Its
master approached. Some kind-hearted
boys had discovered the suffering animal
and had carried water and feed to It and
made a shelter of green boughs above to
shut off the hot sun. The horse died a few
minutes after the party arrived.

City Council Fixes
Amount of Refund

Honey that Shall Be Paid

The city council held a urlef special ses

some of the business that hsd been hanging
fire. The resolution was passed fixing the
smounts to be paid to property owners by
the street railway company for the paving
on Benton street and HyGe avenue ln ac
cordance with the assessment mode two
weeks ago. The city clerk was Instructed
to notify the company that It must pay
I1.60H per yard for the paving occupied
at the Broadway Intersection where the
line turns upon Benton street; $1.01 per
yard from Broadway to the Benton street
bridge; 11.79H from the bridge to Washing

Oak street, and also looked over the pro
posed new street that Is to be opened

ing that thoroughfare at the Sherman place
with the old Chautauqua grounds, a dis
tance of about half a mile. The property
owners propose to give the right-of-way
and pay the expense of grading, If the ctty
will accept the street after It Is finished and
maintain It. The council viewed this as a
committee of the whole and agreed to con
sider it in council meeting soon.

for thirty-two years, under both private
and municipal ownership. The superin
tendent devoted one whole day to tho
Council Bluffs men, explaining all of tha
