"When Herman Fisher, 86 years old, re turned from Omaha with a gallon Jug of Whisky, dropped It on the pavement at Pearl and Broadway while in the act of changing cars and then fell In a faint at the sight ot the broken jug it was easy for Otflcer H. O. Cook, who happened Jong, to reach the conclusion that the old man was drunk. The ouor of whisky that filled the whole block firmed the police man's diagnosis and Fisher was takirn to the station. In police court yesterday morning, however, he proved conclusively that he did not even drink and that the whisky was not his property, but he was only its temporary custodian.

Council Bluffs LANA DITCH CASE IS IN COURT ludge Woodruff Spends Day Trying to Get Facts as Presented. EVERYTHING HINGES ON THE BID aUfllt of the Action ef the Coantr Hoard In Kalahllshln Ihe llMrh is Attacked by the At torney. I'pon the decision of Judge E. B. Wood ruff depends the possibility of James M. I.ana, head of the Lana Construction com pany, to collect a large part of hl pay for digging nearly one-half of the Nlshna botna drainage ditch, that extends from Oakland to the Mills county line, which, according to the engineer's original esti mate. Involved a cost ot about $97,000. Mr. Lana secured the contract from the county supervisors upon the bid to do the work, "at l-100th per cent of 1 cent below the lowest bid." The lowest bid. filed by Sternberg Brothers of Council Bluffs, waa i cents per cubic yard, and the board awarded the contract to Lana. In the face of legal obstacles Lana has gone ahead with the construction work. Judge Wood ruff In the district court Is now engaged In hearing the original application for an Injunction made by J. M. Pullen, one of the farmers whose land Is involved. Last spring, after the board awarded the contract to Lana, Pullen applied for a writ of temporary Injunction, which was granted by Judge Wheeler. The case waa heard by Judge Woodruff, who held that the contract was void and that the bid was not a bid. He granted the Injunction. By an oversight a bond was not required from Pullen, and the oversight was not noted until after Judge Woodruff had left Avoca for Red' Oak. The same evening Judge Woodruff left, Attorney Preston of Avoca followed him to Red Oak and se cured the order for the bond. It required Pullen to file a bond of S2.GO0 within three days from date of receiving notice. With the provision that if he failed to do so the temporary writ Issued would not be operative. Pullen failed to do this, and the county board, railing a special meet ing to advertise for new bids, ordered Lena to go ahead. In the meantime suits were Instituted attacking the validity of the action of the board in establishing the ditch. The question of the establishment was decided In favor of the board and In one 'of his rulings, Judge Wheeler ex pressed opinions that were taken by the legal advisers of Lana to be a tentative confirmation of his contract. Lana secured an agreement signed by a majority of the land owners that they would pay the costs of the ditch construction through their lands, and this stipulation was filed with the board. Contrary to the convictions of the members of the Board of Supervisors, the failure of Pullen to comply with the order to file a bond and the consequent setting aside of the temporary writ did not dispose of the case, and It Is this origi nal rase that is now being heard. The entire day yesterday was devoted to It without completing It. If Judge Wood ruff holds the Lana contract to be void, all of the land owners who have not signed the agreement to pay will not be obligated and Lana will have to look to the others. If the contract Is declared Illegal and Lana is permanently enjoined from working un der it, the board will be obliged to re-advertise for bids. If Lana again files the lowest bid, the objectors will take the posi tion that the work done was under an Il legal contract and will refuse to pay. NEW CAR LINE IS IN OPERATION Beaten and Klghtb Street Extension la Opened for Service to Patrons Alongr the Route. Car service was established on Benton and North Eighth streets yesterday morn ing. The first car passed over the line at S o'clock and did not get a passenger. The second followed fifteen minutes later and received nothing but attention. By the time the third car passed two citlsens, abandoning the hope of sleep, dressed themselves and took a ride. The other cars were fairly well patronized during the early morning hours by people going to their work, but later in the day many people went over the new line for the pleasure of It. The service was prompt, clean and comfortable. For the present only two cars will be placed on the line, making the circuit from North Eighth street to Hyde avenue every fifteen min utes. They connect with all of the other lines at Pearl and Broadway. It is believed the company will yet put Into operation the plan first formed and run the Fifth avenue cars over the Ben ton street- extension and the Park line cars on North Eighth street. The Fifth avenue cars now all waste several" minutes by v.Qltlng in Falrmount park. This time could be Just consumed In making the run up Benton street. This arrangement would not require any additional rars and crews and would be the most economical plan of operation, giving exactly the same service with only the additional cost of a trifle longer run. This plan would leave the ("rper Broadway line to 'furnish service or the East Pierce street extension. N. T. Plumbing Co. Tel. 260. Night L-1T02. ; California wines, 60c per qt.

(OUNFH MAIN AMI HHOADWAV, OVKK A.MKKICAX KXPHKSS Council Bluffs Iowa Lights Turned on Carnival Grounds For the First Time Scene of Unusual Brilliancy Results from First Electrical Display as Tryout. The carnival grounds were lighted last night for the purpose of testing out the circuits. The work was so well done that onlyta few trivial short circuits were de veloped In the entire systom. The effect of the myriad lights was surprisingly brilliant and caused many expressions of pleased surprise. The Oreeco-Kgyptlan arch was exceedingly beautiful and impos ing, and the fountain In the center of the park, adorned with many colored sparks of fire attracted much attention. But little remains to be done on the carnival rounds to complete the prepara tions for the big opening on Monday after noon. First avenue was closed to public traffic yesterday afternoon and the work of Inclosing the sides of the park with the canvass fencing was begun. It will be finished probably today. Many of the merchants were working yesterday on their booths, although some have yet made no start toward the decorations. It is quite probable that the Sabbath will re ceive some slight dents, owing to the necessity for work by business men who can find no other time to' supervise It But by tonight Uttle will be left to be done. The dancing pavilion will be finished to day and the floor made ready for use. The pavilion Is located on the vacant lot form ing a part of the Wright home opposite the southwest corner of the park. It covers the whole of the lawn and will be the larg est dancing floor in the city with the ex ception of the auditorium. Much secrecy is being attempted by the various merchants and organizations to prevent knowledge leaking out concerning the character of the floats they are prepar ing. Some of the designs are very elabo rate and all will be attractive. A list of the special features that will be Included In the Parker shows was received yesterday. One of the stirring features will be the high dive, where a fellow Jumps from the top of a fifty-foot mast and strikes on his chest on the surface of an Inclined plane, polished and smoothed with talcum powder, then turns a double eom mersault In the air and lights on bis feet far away. This and the Aero bars and the Alaskan mystery will be free and will be located In the park. A list of the shows follows: Pharaoh's Daughter. Five In One, Crasy House, Outlaws, Human Roulette Wheel, Bovine and Equine Odities, Trained Ani mal show, Carry Ub All. Ferris Wheel, Belle show, vaudeville show and side show. Another batch of fire balloons was sent up last night bearing season carnival tickets. They were chased by about fifty boys on bicycles and a number of them recovered. ' One of the most lavish scenic produc tions ever sent out of Chicago or New York Is that of "The Prlnoe of Tonight," the Adams, Hough and Howard musical fantasy, In which Mort II. Singer will present Henry Woodruff at the Dohany theater Sunday night. It consists of four gorgeous scenes, contained In three acta The first act shows the famous resort, "The Breakers," at Palm Beach, Fla., which is later changed In a wonderful transformation effect Into the beautiful Delft forest In the mythical land of Luril tanla, where Henry Woodruff, as the prince, reigns for the night. The second act shows a magnificent houseboat during the progress of the water fete, and the third act the shore at Palm Beach. R,eal Estate Transfers.

Taunts Drive Frishie to Fatal Aerial Trip at Agricultural Fair Curtis Aviator Killed in Second Acci dent in Two Dayi at Norton, Kansas. NORTON. Kan., Sept 2.-Jobn J. Frlsble, the Curtlsa aviator, was killed by a fall at the Norton county fair. Frlsble met with an accident yesterday and only went Into the air again today when driven to do so by the taunts and Jeers of the crowd. Frlsble fell about 100 feet and the engine of his machine fell upon him, crushing his left side and chest. He lingered for about an hour before he died. Frlsble has been giving exhibitions In Elmwood park for several days. Yesterday his machine acted badly and he had a fall of about forty-five feet but beyond bruUes and a shaking up was not Injured. He was skeptical about the ability of his machine to stand another flight today and announced that he would not take the air this afternoon, but when this statement was communicated to the crowd there was an angry demonstration. The spectators hooted and shouted, "Faker! Faker!" and refused to listen to explanations. Mr. Frlsble announced that rather than have the big crowd go away with the Im pression that he was not willing to do his best, he would attempt a flight. He as cended from the track without difficulty and attained a height of 100 feet but In attempting to make a turn the plane tipped and Frlsble lost control. As he came crash ing to earth the spectators could see the aviator attempting to right the machine.' but as tt approached the ground one of the wings crashed Into a barn and tbe bi plane glancing off. struck the earth with Frlsble underneath. Frisble's wife, son snd little girl wit nessed the accident, Mrs. Frlsble being prostrated when she saw her husband fall. Tonight she bitterly denounced the action of the spectators In forcing her husband to make the flight with a disabled niacins. Frlsble is well known among the aviators, having flown at Belmont park and being a participant In the recent big meet at Chicago. Captain Frisble's machine was the one built In Omaha by Charley and Ous Baya dorfer and which waa taken from here by Captain Frlsble when he was In Omaha last spring In company -with the Molsant aviators. Charley Bayadorfer has been with Captain Frlsble since the aviation meet here this year. This aeroplane Is the. one Captain Frls ble used to make the quick starting record at the International meet In Chicago re cently and with which he won the bomb throwing prize at the meet. He has had several falls In it one while learning to handle it and others when he went up tn the air in dangerous times. He had a reputation for 'earleasness in ascending In bad winds.
