Wednesday Morning, August 1. *SUBSCRIPTIGN RATES: 20 conta por week $10.00 per Year OFFICE: No. 7 Pear] Stroet, Near Broadway. MINOR MENTION. Soe Joseph Reiter’s fall goods. Dr. West, dentist, 14 Pear] street. Cheap railrond tickets at Bushnell's, The Baptist Sunday school is to have a picnic at Park’s mill to-morrow. Mrs. North, an old lady who has been one of the characters of the town, died yesterday. Pat Formay, who lost a foot sometime 0, by being run _over by the cars, isnow :filo to be out again. A democratic council cannot say much about “‘back pay” or ‘‘salary grab” in futare political contests. Permit to wed was yesterday given to Hans Anderson and Johanna Matilda Larsen, both of this city. Mr. and Mrs, F, F. Ford entertained in a very hospitoblo and happy mannor last evening, about fifty friends, mostly young folks, The case of Paulus Pilocant, charged with assault, was again continued yester- day on account of the absence of the at- torney in the case. While J. M. Thomas has been attend- ing the reunion at Denver some sneak thief went through his room, taking a quantity of clothing. One solitary drunk was all there was who adjusted yesterday morning in police court. He gave his name is Joe Wit, and was fined 83 and costs. John Hurd, while handling a roll of sheet iron at the Union Pacific depot yesterday, received from the sharp edge of the iron a bad gash on the arm, There seemed yesterday a slight im- provement in the condition of Mrs, ideon Robinson, of First avenue, who has been quite ill for some time past. Everything i ing done that. is possi ble inl;xm prol.lmmu? arrangements, to make the coming fallfair and horse’ horse meeting here, the biggest success yot. A number more joined the teachers' institute yesterday, swelling the total attendance to 196, which is already within five of the highest number ever reached at any institute held here. The man Church, at the jail, is gradu- ally getting clearer headed, and does not think hlmself nearly so much of a de- faulter as when he first gave himself up. His brother is expected to arrive to-day from Winona. It must be a typographical mistake in the announcement of one of the city pa- pers that it has reduced its price on ac- count of the increased demand. It means decreased of course. The compositor is to blameas usual. Those having in charge the building of the new Masonic temple will decide next Monday which ‘rlm to adopt out of the several presented. The wall of the first story is to be 20 inches, the second 16 inches and the third 12 inches. About forty judgments were yestorda) entered up against delinquents on poll- tax. The judgments are for $6 and about 83 costs, so that it is quite an addi- tional expense to those who have delayed E‘.ying the $2 required to meet the tax one. The case of King, one of those charged with assaulting Oleson, was con- tinued yesterday, taking the same course as the others. Mr. Igle-on‘l condition still being such as to render it imposs‘ble for him to ap) in court. The cases will all be called up again Thursday. Charlie Bray, one of Tue BEg carriers, had the misfortune to lose his pony yes- terday. The pony slipped in a peculiar way breaking a leg, the bone being frac- tured in several places near the shoulder, the injury being such as the necessitate shooting the animal, Itis worth $20 a month to be an alderman, and yet the alderman should have thought of this when running for an office the legal pay for which lhlfi noi. exceed 8560 a year, rather than waited until after they had been in several months and then voted themselves $26 u month, to date back to April 1. The papers were being drawn yester- day by wfi‘i’eh W. H. Foster adopts the little "girl over whom William Barnett and Clara Kirkendall have been contend- ing. It appears that the child was placed in Barnett's hands some six years ago, in Michigan, and haslived with him since, and now a much betterand happier home is tc be given the little one. Tue Bee has not been making so much blow as some of the weaker papers, about its circulation in Council Bluffs, but it has gone on increasing steadily, just the same. Yesterday it had to put on one more carrier boy, to supply the recent increase, and as one or two more will soon be needed, any boys with ponies, who desire routes, should apply at this The city is too poor to make any im- provements. . except those which the adjoining property owner is ordered to pay for, and yet the aldermen gravely ive $40,000 of property to the Union ‘acific for a side track, and then vote themselvesan increase of $81,800 a year, including the back pay to April 1, Six aldermen, $2b a month, twelve months, and $300 more for the mayor, makes in fact $2,100. A young man giving his name as Wil- liam Eakman was arrested at Atlantic ssnd brought back to this city on a dn:]; of breaking into a freight car on the Chicago & Rock Island road. He was brought before Justice Bchurz yesterday and the case continued until Thursday. The young man claims that he is only 16, and was on his way to see his sick ‘mother and not being able to pay his Mfare, stole a ride in a freight car, but stole nothing else. ¥ Coroner Faul has received word from Profebsor Fowler's phrenological estab- lishment, in New York, that they know mothing about the man found i in the woods about seven miles heore, about ten for some books © | at York, Nebraska, Nothing has yet been heard from Maine, where his discharge papers show he en- listed. The license ordinance in regard to common carriers is still in litigation. Tt is proposed now to present affidavits showing that the ordinance was the crea- tion of the old city clerk instead of the city council, and therefore invalid, Time is given for the attorneys to prepare these affidavits. In the meantime the present council has passed a new ordinance reme- dying the Jleged defects in the c1d one, and this will go into effect next Sunday. So that the delinquent expressmen may expect to be brought up soon under the new ordinance. N. J. Bond some time ago entered complaint before the railway commission- ers against the Wabash railway for not giving him cars to ship corn from Mine ola, where he had about 7,000 bushels in | cribs, The charge was that the company discriminated against him, as_they had plenty of cars at the time, and furnished partics at other stations, The railway commissioners sustained several of the counts in his complaint, and on the strength of it he has now sued the com- any for $8,250, and the papers have heen filed in the case. The report of a serious accident to an excursion train of the G. A. R. necar Leadville spread like wildfire on the street here yesterday, causing much citement and many anxious inquiries. | The incoming train over the Union Pa- cific last evening brought in a good num- ber of the returning reunionists, includ- ing John Fox, Charles Roper, Charles Sanderson, Henry Genheimer, Henry Hollingsworth, Dick Lawton and others, and they are beset on every side by questions as to who were probably on the train that was wrecked, They could give little beyond surmises. All sorts of con- jectures were expressed and there were many anxious homes and friends, cager | for every bit of information they could glean. The large grating at the rear of the jail was patched up after a well nigh suc- | cessful attempt at escape was made by several prisoners who succeeded in saw- ing off one barand bending some ethers. It has remained in that patched condition until now, but a wholly new grate is now being put in its place, and if the prison- rs get through this, they will be entitled to their liberty for their ingenuity. The workmen are yet at the task, and while it is in progress the prisoners are kept locked in their cells, and are not allowed the freedom of the corridor. The jail at the best is. & horrible - place in which ta keep men locked up, and wherethe close cells are awful. The county ought to build a new jail, or lay aside all claims to any advanced stage of civilization, J. W. Rodefer having been elected secrotary and treasurer of the Mercantile Loan, Trust and Improvement company of Council Blutfs, has accepted the }mnl- tion and assumed the management of the company’s business, The following named persons are on the board of direct- ors: T.

Ong of the Masked Men Tells Abont the Hanging of Hardy, The Scene at the Bridge and the Cause of the Shooting. The Harlan Tribune has received a communication from oneof the “lynchers” who, by an anoymous leiter dropped into the Avoca postoffice last Saturday, at- temptato vindicate the action of the crowd who hung Hardy, the Polk City murderer. The writer enters into its numerous details, correcting some slight errors in the various accounts given, and then proceeds to give an account of the scene at the bridge, as follows: Hardy spoke a few words at the mo- ment of leaving the jail. A handker- chief had been bound over his mouth but not so tightly as to prevent his speaking. While on the way to the bridge there were no “‘cries for mercy,” nor was he dragged along; feeling the rope about his neck and realizing the calibre of the men by his side, he ku&n pace with them, sa; n reached, when he said he hoped that bis fate would be a warning to all young men. Then the rope was drawn taut about his neck, and one man upon either enough to admit a hangman’s knot being tied so it had been tied in a common slip-knot, which his weiht, falling as he 10ibi Sarmb utiga W 1 dropped into the water below, upon the north side of the bridge. Then for a time all was ex- citement, fears of his escape being enter- tained. A few random shots were fired into the stream, when the body was seen close to the pier, upon the east side of the stream, south of the bridge, then the fusilate commenced. A greater portion of the time the body was not visible, but it finally drifted out into the stream and disappeared from view entirely, but not until the party were sure that he was dead. When Hardy reached the bridge, five men were with him, of the rest, the larger portion were guarding the rear, a foew having hastened forward to the horses, Hardy’s hands were not bound until a cry was raised that ‘‘we were . pursued,” when the men in with a piece of st This alarm was caused by .the solitary horse- man, who followed but a short distance. A good rope had been provided to hans the hapless] villain with, but 'twas los: upon the way to Harlan. Had this circumstance not - ocourred, Hard, would have been left suspended from the bridge and his body would have been mutilated with any new bullet wounds. Thesole object was to hang himas expe- ditiously and as completely as possible. No man present wished to cause him ur- necessary pain. But that, so o, in this emergency was our common duty as 'public spirited ciuizens, for the protection of our families, of others and of society, against such as W. J. Jennings (so called) and others of his ilk, we are firmly convinced, and that there is in the hear: of each and every participator in this af- fair, a quiet feeling of satisfation over a duty wel Iperformed, | sincerely believe. ——— Letter Roll. Will Rose, the bicyclist who passed through here a time ago on his narrow guage vehicle, making the trip from Danville, Ill., to Cheyenne City, has sottled down in Ashmore, Ill., and started a paper called *‘The Toothpick.” He sends THE BEE a recent number con- taining one of a series of articles he has written concerning his trip, and which he claims is ‘‘actually written by the very ‘idjit’ who did the deed.” In it he says of "his visit to Council Bluffs: The pilgrim passed through Stuart, Anita, Atlantic, Shelby, andseveral other good towns before reaching Council Dluffs, where he spent several days and had a good time, thanks to those genial young 'Cyclists, Clarence Judson, Sam- uel Bowley, and Will Carothers. The wheeling about Council Bluffs is not ex- ceedingly good: it is only medium: and not always that. Council Bluffs is an im- portant railroad centre, and is a live, rowing little city of nearly 16,000 popu- ation. It is on the east bank of the muddy Missouri, and about four miles from Omaha, Neb., situated on the op- posite shore. Thursday witnessed the crossing of the Missouri river, and the landing—not of Columbus—but of the lone pilgrim, who now began to feel that he was getting west some. Omaha has a bycicle club of some eighteen or twenty members, but as the traveler had but a fow hours to remain, he spent his time in looking at the city and did not call on any of the brethren of the wheel.
