The Council Bluff« Management Deny Some of the Assertions of the Board of Trado. The management of the Council Bluffs telephone office rises to correct some of the matters set forth in the protest of the board of trade, which body has officially declared the business as conducted here an imposition. In regard to communi- oation with outside Iowa towns having to be made through Omaha, crossing the river and then back again, a stout denial is made except as far as Glenwood is concerned. It is stated that Pottawat- tamie county is under the control of the Nebraska Telephone company, but that the rest of the state is under the control of the Towa Telephone company. Men are now out stretching a line from here to Avoca, and it will there connect with tho lines of the lowa company, 80 that there will be direct communica tion between Council Bluffs and the smaller towns, while Omaha will have to get ite connections through Council Bluffs. The management is quite sct against the proposition st forth in the board of trade mecting that the telephone is a common carrier, and any one should have the right to use any telephone for send- ing & message, on paying the prico of sending a mesage, It i3 claimed on “the lightning” side of the honse that the company would take out its telephones rather than submit to it. At present il a non-subacriber wants to send a message he must go to the central office or to some public telephone station, but under the proposed change he could’ drop into any private office where there was a tele- phione. ‘I he management say this would uccessitate the making of every man who had a telephone an agent of the company ' to reccive money and keep accounts, and that there having te ephones will not submit to any such annoyance, Otherwise, the centra office, every time there was a ring, would have to ask who it was to learn whether the ringer was a subscriber or not, and then have to charge it up and keep ac- counts, a large portion of which would either be not pnh{ or élse disputed. ‘There is one Lealthful effect to be look- od for resulting from the discussion of the management and the airing up of grievances, It will doubtless result in having real causes of complaint rectitied, and suchchangesand improvements made as .\ illgive satisfaction, Every teleplone which is taken out lessens the value of every telephone which i8 in use, as it decreases the number of connections whicl it is possible to make Many do not think of this. At present thero are few places in Council Bluffe which can becalled up if needed. Neither the Ogden nor the Pacific have tele- phones; only two doctors have them; the court house has none; some of the depots have none, and few business houses havc any in comparison to the number that should have them. If managed rightly there shduld be three times as many tol- ephones in use here as there are. ———— A STRANGER STRANGLED, A Drunken Man Killed by a Chunk of Denison Becfsteak. The news of the strange death of a stranger comes from Denison. The man came there on the express train from the cast, being put off at that station foi stenling a ride. At the depot, after the train pulled out, he was very excited and tore about in a violent manner, threaten- ing first one and then another of the by- standers, He threw off his coat and hat and danced about in his rago like a wild man. Marshal Ellis told him to put on his coat und hat and go along with him, as he was an ofticer. This rather cooled him down, although he kept making all sorts of threats, and walked along with- out any physical violence, and was locked up in jJail. After a time a pail of water was given him, and a hot supper, consisting of bread, and butter and beefsteak. He attacked the food in a ravenous manner, as though be had not had anything to eat for sev- eral days. Soon after the marshal hi.d stepped out of the cell and shut the door, leaving the man to finish his meal, a pe- culiar wheezing sound was heard, and on the door boing opened the prisoner stag. gered out strangling terribly, and beforc 1id could be had he fell to the floor and was dead. The post mortem examination showed that a pieco of meat about five inches in length was fast in his wind-pipe, and was conclusive'y the cause of death, The man was about 25 years of nge, and his name 18 supposed to be James Cainpbell, as a pass-book was found in his pocket w that name, and some memoranda indicat- ing that he belonged at Awmes, lowa, lelegrams sent there, however, elicited the nformation from the mayor of that place that Campbell was a wayfaring man, and had no relatives or friends there. He was, therefore, buriéd as a stranger, therd being no further clue to his identity or the whereabouts of Nis friends. e End of Chiajter L To the surprise of a'l, the Blackert as- sault case reached a dacision yesterday, though mnot a final one After sixteen continuances, two or three changes of venue, a dismissal, a revival and many other moves in the tussle between Attor- ney Sears, who appeared for the prose- cution, and John Lindt, who appeared for the defense, a hearing was reached and yesterday ended before Justice Ab- bott. The case was somowhat mixed, the plaintiff, named Renier, who isa mute, testifying that Blackert hit him three times very hard with a heavy ax,. and yet the man bearing no bruises or cuts. On the otherhand, Blackert testi- fied to talking to Renier in sign lan- guage, and claiming that he understood enough of it to talk easily with mutes, while by an expert put on the stand it was shown that Blackert understood hardly any of the sign language. Justice Abbott waded through the confiicting testimony as best he could, and concluded to biud Blackert over to the district court in §200 bail, His attorney, Lindt, thenan- nounced that he should proceed to get him released on a writ of habeas corpus, An information has now been filed, turning the tables and chlqiinu the mute Reiner with assaulting Blackert and Mrs, Blackert, The latter is in an insane asy- lum now, and, it is claimed, from the re- sult of the assault made by Reiner. The whole affair, in fact, seems to have been only o neighborhood quarrel, and oc- curred two months ago, but the lawyers gm to give np[ n&k ‘onu hnull:un ing along, it taki wo months to mmu‘m chapter. ‘flw long it will ‘take to make up another is & pi query, F.
