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.

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.

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.
Frlsble was a light-built man, sandy hair
- and moustache and very neat In dress. He
j made many friends here In the week he
was In Oinaha by bis pleasant personality.

REDDING, CaL, Sept 1 Three robbers,
one a negro, held up the southbound
Oregon Express on the Southern Pacific
railroad a mile and one-half north of
Lamolne, forty miles north of Redding at
o'clock last night They blew both safes
tn the express car, rifled them arid escaped.
In their escape the three men were ac
companied by two other robbers, who had
been riding on the roof of the car. No one
was hurt The value of the booty has not
been learned.
The robbery was reported at Delta, CaJ.,
by Conductor Dickey within fifteen min
utes after It occurred. A special train im
mediately was prepared at Dunsmulr, CaJ.,
and left with a posse aboard. Sheriff
Montgomery of Tehama county also was
Informed and another posse was picked up
by a special at Red Bluffs A third posse
was organized at Redding and Joined the
Red Bluff men. A battle with the bandits,
who fled to the forests to tbe west Is
expected.
The robbers boarded the train as It
stopped on a siding at Gibson, near
Lamolne. When the train got under way
three of them worked their way Into the
express car, holding the messengers at
bay with revolvers. Only one of the
bandits, the negro, was masked. They
blew the safes and at the sound of the
explosion' the train slowed down. The
robbers grasped what they could lay hands
on and Jumped Into the darkness, where
their two companions Joined them.
A brakeman on the train says the men
leaped Into an automobile which headed
for Dunsmulr, a densely wooded district.
