R ——— 6 OMAHA DAILY BEE---COUNCIL BLUFFS, WEDNE — fHE DAILY BEE. VAUGHN'S VOTARIES. They Seem to be Dramming up Busi- ness for His Jastice Shop, COUNCIL BLUFFS. Wednesday Morning, May 14, How a Meagre| Salary Can be Pleced Out by Charging up Justice Fees, SUBSCRIPTION RATES, " ik er = = = = o = = 20 rents por wee BRI T T L LT o0 er vear The *‘Carter Harrison of the Missouri slope,” as Mayor Vaughn's henchman, John Jay Frainoy, has christened him, sees a pretty fair way to make up for the £0600 salary as mayor which he deems so meagre, when other cities are paying $1,000 or more, Vaughn holds on to the office of justice of the peace, too, with a keen grip, and there are many grists be- ting put in the hopper, for which costs are axed up, of course. The arrest mado by the police are gon- erally disposed of by Judge Aylesworth, who is the magistrate of the superior and police court cases of preliminary exami. nations, It makes little difference what magistrate conducts the examination, but in many other cases the fees, when the case is heard before Judge Aylesworth, goes to the city. The present drift secms to be to have the police force businecas brought before Vauchn, who taxes up the costs and thus pieces out his salary. Since the first of May there have been broughtbefore Vaughan 36 criminal cases, about three a day, and as the fees in eac amount to several dollars, the justiceship 18 evidently more lucrative than that of mayor. 5 About a week ago on Saturday night the police arrested three drunks. The city jail was being repaired at the time, and the fellows were placed in the county jail. Instead of beng brought before Judgoe Aylesworth, who s paid a salary of §2,000, while he has much or little business, informations were filed in Vaughan’s court, and early Monday morning they were brought betore him and fined, he getting the costs instead of the city. Cases too, which havebeen virtually dis- posed of by Judge Aylesworth, form an excuse for filing of the informations and taxing up the cost. For Instance on ac- count of the row at Bokemper's saloon, John Poters, Mike Kildare, and George Poters wero fined by Judge Aylesworth $14.60 each for disturbing the peace. Now there are filed in Justice Vaughap's court ono_information charging George Peters and Mike Kildare with an affray. A second information charges George Poters, John Peters, and Mike Kildare with riot. Still a third information charges John Peters with assault and bat- tery. These informations were sworn to by Dandy Dunn, of the police force of which the mayor is the head. These informations, all growing out of the same transactions, were filed up, making quite a bill of cost for the justice and mayor, if not for the benefit of good order.

Frank Vanderbergh's challenged Wal- ter Nasen to a contest in fancy and plain skating, and the same to take place at the roller skating rink on Saturday even- ing. The district court opened yesterday with a call of the calender and assign- ment of cases. The grand jury was im- pannelled, S. 8. Keller was selected foreman and George F. Smith, clerk. Vaughn charges him with a ‘‘breach of the'Sabbath.” Still another information charges him with assault and battery, A third information charges him with in- tent to murder, thus making three infor- mations on which to tax up costs. John Jay Frainey who hangs around the court a good deal, and who is known a8 Vaughn's right hand political helper, standsready to take a part in the cases, cither to defend or prosecute. Some time ago one Arthur McDermott had some dealing with Frainey and some civil suit about a horse grew out of it. It is claimed that McDermott in sottling with Frainoy turned over to him a horse be- longing to McDermott's father, An in- formation was filed the other day against McDermott for perjury. Still a second one for the larceny of & horse. Still a third oue for the fraudulent conveyance of personal property. The information for perjury has {)uon dismissed. On the two others tho accused waived exsmina- tion, and gave bail, to await the action of ::1]3 grand jury, if it takes any action at A fast girl known as Jennie Graveyard was arrested for fast driving and for be- ing drunk.

Harry Birkinbine did what he could for them by telegraph- ing vhe officials east, from which source money is expected daily. Last evening there was a happy wed- ding party at the residence of J. Bassett, whose daughter, Miss Mary A. Bassett, was given in marriage to James L. Wes- ley. Rev. Mr. Bates, of the Presbyterian church, officiated, and following the cere- mony were many expressions of congrat- ulation and well wishes. All then par- took of a wedding feast, and a merry, social season followed. “F. . and W, D, Kirkland are now get- ting their new store No. 314 Broadway in pretty good shape, nearly all the stock of jewelry being moved and put in place. The new place isa ‘‘dazzler” and the establishment is one of which they may be proud. The walls and ceil- ing have been handsomely decorated and the stock of silverware and jewelry shows up very finely. Mrs. B, Weber, a German woman, who lives at No, 1610 Sixteenth street, merits praise for her public spirit and generos. ity. Yesterday she came to Bayliss park with a goodly quantity of flower seeds, and with her own hands planted. them in the beds about the band stand. In previous years she has put plants in the park, and such acts on her part form an example which is worthy of following by others. There are many others, not foreign born either, who in comparing their own interest in theparkjwith that of the German woman should feel a little tinge of shame, and a little bit of blushes .ereep into the cheek, E. Thornton's team, attached to a wagon, made & lively run on upper Broadway., Mr, Thornton was thrown ©out but not badly injured. The team «collided with one of Conrad Geise's beer wagons, breaking the run somewhat, and then dashing to the front managed to break off the tongue of the same wagon by some queer move. The runaways al- #0 sucoseded in breaking off hydrant by ‘Wies & Clausen’s store, and & piece of the wreck broke one of the large win- dows. The runaways also started up B. Grahl's horse and wagon, and they went flying down Brosdwsybut were soon If informations are to thus be filed, two or three out of tho same transac- tions, and cases naturally belonging to the police court, are to i brought be- fore Vaughan, it is to be hoped that the county board will examine closely into Vaughan's bills presented at its next meeting. County Attorney Mynster, who generally inspects the bills, is a warm friend friend of Vaughan's too, but it is to be hoped that his friendship will not blind his eyes to what is fair and square, and that the people’s interests will be protected. There is also some grumbling already heard, because by Vaughan’s course as justice, fines and costs which will other- wise go into the city treasury, are turned aside by the cases being brought before him. If to gain a fow dollars costs for himself, he is thus acting so as to divert the revenue from the city into other channels, he ought to boast less of having the interests of the city so dearly at heart.
