Tuesday Mornifig, September 4, OFFICE: ©. 7 Pear] Street, N The coroner's jury after investigating the facts of the late accident at Creston, as closely as they could, have decided that the cause of the smash up there was that tho switch was not locked, and that Broadway. Republican County Convention, The republicans of Pottawattamie county will meet in delegate convention at the court house in Council Bluffs, Thursday, September 13, at 10 o'clack a. m,, for the purpose of placing in nomina- tion candidates for the following offices. to wit: One state senator, twn represen- tives, sheriff, treasurer, auditor, sur- veyor. superintendent of public_schools, coroner, and members of the beard of supervisors, Each township will be en- titled to the following ropresentation: 18t precinct ’r‘, the section boss, G. Larson, was responsi- ble for this act. An information was filed befere Justice Abbott, Larson with manslaughter, and he was arrested and brought inte urt yesterday morning, He promptly gave bail in the sum of £1,000, lra Scofield and Thomas Cavin going his security and the case was sot for hearing on the 18th, The evidence brought before the cor- oner’s jury was to the eflecp that Larson closed the switch the last time it was used before the ill-fated train ran off r Larson claims that he locked switch, and three men near by saw him close the awitch, but could not swear that he locked it.

His arrest will lead to a fuller and more careful investigation than the coroner’s jury could give 1t, as it is to be hoped that it will lead to placing the re- sponsibility of the atfaic whore 1t justly belongs.

In the course of the talk it was stated that the Council Bluffs: japers did not help the matter along any last fall, aud that John W. Chupman’s paper, not only neglected to keep its prowmise to help the new jail project, but spoke of it in such a mauner that its readers got the idea that it was poking fun at the proposition. It was stated that it did insert one edi torial, but that was charged up to the patentee of the revolving cells, 1t was proposed to use it as a regular advertise- ment.

Yesterday he was in courtagain ona charge of assaulting his wife. 1t appears that the woman and he had some trouble, and that they separat ed at Atluntic.

Col. Keat- loy, of this city, was among those prom- inent in the affair, and of course could not get away without making a speech, and it was one of the most enjoyable features of the occasion. These Penn sylvanians have a regularly organized society, and resolutions were drawn uj, aud signed by 450 former residents of the Keystone state, ox{)muin sympathy for young Nutt, who killed Dukes. These resolutions are to be sent to him, as indicating the feeling of the signers, who have read with interest all the de- think it just to pay city taxes on lands used for agricuitural ‘purposes wholly. Among these are Jas, R. Rice, J, fl Johnson, 8. W. Wheedock, Mary A. McGew, N. P. Dodge, and W, P. Wehster. Judge C. C. Cole has taken the presi- dency of the Herdic company in Des Moines and F.

The company has been in- corporated with $20,000 capital stock and it is claimed that with paved streots, the state fair, the legislature, ete., helping along the business, the stock will soon be paying big, Casady & Orcutt have now put upon the strects one of the neatest delivery wagons u‘;be seen ll,nywhsni, and if their earpet and curtain business keepsup at its i preaent e, i wil nood to GRS Ne | ol th sl urable as it looks, as it will be kept AU busy, The wagon is pluu'::iulz painted Al lnd‘ its contents are proteo Y Woven | phere Were N wire sides and sheltered by a top. Arrangements are made for havi Tuesday of next week as children’s d.“x at the fair. The public schools will probably close on that day, and the fair muufement is to admit all children un- der fourteen years of age free. This will give the young folk a good chance to see, as the free admittance is offered not only to the children of the schools and the city, but to all children, There are some complaints that the ALLRESTS, y and Nine Brought the Fuld. The number of arrests made by the police during August numhered just ninety and nine, and Chief Field is mourning greatly because one black sheep is missing to make it even num- bers, Frow a glance over the list it be- comes evident that all the classes did not fill ns they ought. The classification is city does not use all holders of general warrants fairly. The council, tor in- stance, transfors $500 to the sinking fund, and takes up old warrants in rota- tion, while at the same time it transfers $2,000 from the police fund to the gen- eral fund, and of this $2,000, war- rants which have only been issued for a short time are paid in cash, while those who have been holding older warrants, have to hold thew still. This arrange. ment, on the surface, does look as if it discriminated & little unjustly, ! An Omaha man was in the city Sunday trying to get his wife's sister out of & house of prostitution here. She was only fifteen years old and came here only & month or 80 ago. The girl was willing to go with him if hewould get her a dress enough to travel in, the clothes she had on Il‘hl’ tothe landlady, who wanted to be paid for them before she would let the gil wear them away.
