6 OMAHA DAILY BEE-+-COUNCIL BLUFF , FRIDAY MAY 23, 1884, [——— fHE DAILY BEE. OOUNOII. BLUFFS Fndny Mormng, Muy 23 SUBSCRIPTION RATES, OFFICE: No. 7 Pear] Street, Near Broadway. MINOR MENTION, See J. Reiter's Spring Goods. Workmen are busy finishing off Bono's now hall, The young men's shooting club have another contest to-day for the badge. Pormit to marry was yesterday given to August Luoth and Therese Wiese, both of Mindon, The stone pile is about deserted. There are tramps enough arresced but few are convicted. Alderman McMahon doesn’t , seem to be recognieod as an alderman at Jarge by the Omaha officers, The shooting match this afterncon will commence at 1 o'clock—that is, if it does not rain. If it rains it will not commence at all, The grand jury has returned an indict- ment against David Dunkle, of Crescent city, for maintaininga nuisance, by which the jury mean a saloon, Jacob Neumayer has bought of Mrs, Platner the old frame building next to his hotel, and proposes tearing it down, with a view of having a new and better building put upon its site. All railroads will give reduced rates to thoso who attend the spring running meeting at the driving park here, which 20 conta per woek $10.00 per your concert in Bagliss park next Tuesday evening in behalf of the colebrated Hardman pianos, of which he is the general agent Let other business * | houses prepare to follow suit, and the = | public will therehy secure a series of open air, summer evening concerts, __ | which will not only prove enjoyable but also & help to the city. There was considerable trouble with the water on Main street yesterday. The heavy rain caused the water to run along the gutters where the paving is be- ing done, and following the water pipes " | leading into some of the buildings, wash- od through into the cellars, carrying dirt and under mining the brick sidewalks, besides flooding the cellars. Max Mahon had about three feet of water in the cel- lar of the Creston house besides a side- walk badly broken in pieces. A similar troublo was experienced at Kiel's hotel. Tho city warrants are being sold as low as ninety cents. It seems that there is no need of this sort of a shave. There is much money going out for improvements but it 18 mainly done by special assoss- ments, and the council is expected now to commence transferring money from the police fund to the general fund and take up outstanding warrants, and bring the others up nearer to par. The chairman of the finance commictee will recommend its course he aays. A letter has been received from the Chicago Times saying its $250 puff of Council Bluffs will soon appear, so that citizens here who contributed will pa- tiently wait a little longer. In the A MURDER AT GLENWOOD. A Practical Joke Ends in & Tragedy. John Clingersmith is Shot by W, A. Wallace, Who Claims He Acted in Selt Defense. The town of Glenwood, Iowa, was thrown into great excitement yesterday by a fatal shooting. The victim was John Clingersmith, who was shot and killed by W. C. Wallace. The relation ship between the two men has been any- thing but friendly for the past year. Wallace, who is a man of 35 years of age, a year ago married Mrs, Nichols, mother-in-law of Clingersmith, The lat- ter was very anggy about the marriage, and since then has several times abused and assaulted Wallace, who is & man weighing only 130 pounds, and has the reputation of being rather peaccable, while Clingersmith was slmost a giant in build, a splendid specimen of physical manhood, six feet tall and weighing 225 pounds. Yesterday forenoon Clingersmith was at the court house, and Sheriff Dan Farrell, in & joking way, showed him a bogus pedigree of a stallioa which Clin- gorsmith owned. It is not now known who prepared this pedigree, which was a very obsceno and vulgar document, not only making fun of the horse, but casting reflcctions upon Clingersmith. Tt was intended, doubtless, as a mero practical meantimo Tne Bre and other home papers will continue to advertise Council Bluffs without charging the city anything where it will do and wdvertise it, too, the most good. | ——— PERSONAL, Alderman Geiso in kept from the council chamber by illness, Mrs. Sheridan hus returned from tho east, whero she has been sojourning some time, opens May 27. Oneand one-third fare will be charged for round trips. The hall and rooms, to be occupied by the commercial colloge, are fast being put in shape for the opening, and will, when finished, be the most commodious and convenient for that purpose of any in the weat. Henry Houck, a farmer of Washington township, has had considerable trouble with a tenant, Cassel, and on Wednesday in a altercation Houck put a load of bird shot into Cassel, but the wound is not considered dangerous. A sidewalk is needed badly on Ninth stroet, betwoen Broadway and First ave- nue, leading south from the dummy de- pot. The Union Pacific owns the prop- erty and as the public will probably have to wade in mud in wet weather rather than have the company inconvenienced by the expenditure of a few dollars. The gang of thieves who have been raiding different stores on ths principal streets of the oity, still seem to be hov- ering about and the police do not seem to be-able to “hook on.” Most of the|f, places visited have been on Broadway, right along the very beats of the police- men, and still none of the follows have been caught. 1t is said that the names of some who have been stealing flowers from graves in Fairview cemetery are known. are thus known, they ought to be brought to the front without any delay, a wordy proclamation or appointment of policemen. The way to| punish them is to punish them. Hints and threats don’t affect that kind cattle. Mayor Vaughan has written a letter to Mayor Chase calling the latter's special attention to yesterday’s Bre which con- tained an account of the arrest of Alder- man McMahon by Omaha policemen on a caso of mistaken identity, and the out- rageous way in which the Alderman was used. A demand is made for the remov- al of the offending officer. Property holders are in danger of be- ing fined unless they trim up the shade trees eight feet from the sidewalk. So says the marshal. In places where sidowalks and streets have been filled up a trimming off the branches eight feet above the new grade will in some cases leave the trees with but a little tuft on top, the trees being pretty well buried now. The funeral of Mrs, Elizabeth Shoe- maker, widow of Dr. A, Shoemaker, was held yesterday aftorneon ut the residence of her son, Hiram S8hoemaker, on Harri- street. She was an old resident of this city, having come here in 1854, She had ‘reached the age of 77 years, and passed away peacefully and quietly, as one wearied with the burdens of many years and falling asleep, In the district court, yesterday, James E. Bailey pleaded guilty to forgery. is the young man who forged Billy | thi Smith's name o an order for a suit of Clifford mndo inquiry of the general agent here, clothes at Norman's store. Hough also pleaded guilty to burglary, He is the one who has been held in jail | there learned that the company haa by here for a long time ona charge of en- tering Swanson's store at Crescent City. Both will be sentenced next Wednesday morning. Round trip tickets for the national re- publican convention at Chicago will be|slowuess of collections put on sale at the Union ticket office, No. 507 Broadway, May 31 to June 3, good | #° to return until June 9, for $18 70.

S — Building Improvements, Dropping into the office of S. E. Max- on, the architec*, Tk Ber man yester- day found him busy at work on the plans for the propesed Episcopal church, He says the Presbyterians are sure to build, too. He is also preparing plans for a new bank building in Neola. The con- tract for a new brick store in Walnut, to be built by J. B Johansen & Co., has been let to T, T. Nelson, of Harlan. The building is to be a two story brick, 50 by 80 feet. The foundations have been laid for the new opera house at Walnut, and the carpenters began work yesterday. The warehouse of the Union transfor company in this city will be completed this week, the roof being now on and the work of ironing tho sidos commenced. The building is 40 by 60 feet. i) Shipments ot stock, The following were the stock ship- ments from the Union yards yesterday: E. W. Cerbutt, eight cars cattle, 240 head, to Ogallala, via U, P.

The company is still in the field, ppeared yesterday by the fact that a train load of Minnesota Ohief threshers and engines were at the transfer bound for Kunsas City, they be- He m?.lmongthe goods manufactured by company. After noticing the above Trr Bee man O, P. McKisson, whose office is in Van Brunt, Thompson & Co.'s building, and no means failed. It was true that a re- ceiver had been appointed, but this was but a temporary move, as the company's Tinbiticin wore” anly aboit $1.100:000, while the assets reached 4,000,000, of which 82,600,000 is in accounts and bills nwlvlble The general depression and had led to resent financial move, There ready on hand nearly the season's supply of * sepa- rators, horse powers and engines. So this trip tickets will be put on sale May 24 to{ that the company will go right on sup- 27, for the national greenbak eonveution plying th trade as usual, Indianapolis, good to return till June Round trip tickets for the | 4" firemen's tournament at Des Moinos, fall 5, at §21 60, June 8, will be sold at $5 75, The complimentary concert tendered |go by Tu Bee to the citizens of Couneil Blufls proved such & sucoess that others | McKisson, the agent M. J. Mueller has now ecured the Bavarian band for & similar xe to follow, The trade ‘hawmm"l about there b-ngnyhou qotuug supplies, as -npuyhtfl Ily confident that the collections lnmg them all clear. ty of the goods is so great, v‘lnbla, and the business | Sar I‘t“nmtly established '.h.t n oan on s of old buckling down t0 busiuess as usual with un fear of the present or thefuture, but confident that sll will go along smoothly, joke, and some bystander intimated to Clingersmith that it looked as if it wasin the handwriting of Wallace. Clinger- smith, who had been drinking, became very angry, and started at ence for Wal- lace’s house. Wallace is a painter, and Mrs. Wal- lace is running a photograph gallery. The residence rooms are in the rear of thegallery. Clingersmith entered at a side door, and from that room was about to enter the kitchen, when he met Mr, and Mrs. Wallace, whe were both armed with revolvers. Wallace shot twice, the firsi ball striking Clingersmith on the ight side of the nose, and the second hitting him just below the left eycbrow, penetrating the brain, Clingersmith feli to the floor, while Wallace rushed out for adoctor. He was very much excited, and merely told the doctor to come over and see his wife, who was badly fright- ened about a shooting affray at his house. The doctor, with other citizens, went to the house, and found Clingersmith lying on the floor in an insensible and dying condition. He died at 3 o'clock. Wallace was placed under arrest and an inquest was begun. It was not_con- SlAgI0As eyaning. A representative of Tue Bek had aninterview with Wallace, in which the latter said he did care te talk very much about the case. He was sorry he shot Clingersmith, but claimed it was done in self defense. He has se- cured; Hon. John Y. Stone as his attor- ney, and a number of his friends have expressed o willingness to furnish such financial aid as he may need, he having little or no property of his own. The feeling in the town seems to be rather favorable to Wallace, on account of Clingersmith's previous abuse and quarrels, There is a strong feeling against the person who prepared the ped- igree of the stallion, not only on account of its obscenity, but also on account of the fatal effect to which it has led.
