Z. T. Lindsay & Co., Council Bluffs, Towa The entertalnmen given last evening by the young men’s christian aesoclation proved to be a success, and one of the most Interesting of the serles.

The assessors have turned over their books to the board of equallzation, and the work of the latter now begins. The otal assessed valuation foots up nearly four thourand dollars, an Increase of about two hundred thousand dollars. One of the boarders at the Colorado bad his satchel stolen from his room on Monday night and Officer Wheeler found it on Frat avenue and Seventh street about 2 o’clock yesterday morning. No attempt had been made to break the the eatchel open. In digging for the water main ou Pearl street yesterday an old well was discov- ered, which dates back many years, and beyond the racollectlon of the old resi- dents, The well was about twenty feet deep, and the brick were in an excellent state of preservation, During the absence of W. A. R. M. Kighsmith, night yardmsster at the trans- fer, on Monday night, thieves broke into his resldence on Second avenue and stole a watch, ear-rings and some clothing, Mrs, Hishsmith was spending the night with nelghbors when the house was robbed.

Edwin Bar- beur, as the evgiveer, ls very fine, and thows himself to be no ordinary actor, and the other members of the company pire him excellent soprort. The com- peny starts In with enthuslasiic ho wid thelr engagement promises to very tuescaefal cue, THE DAILY BEE COUNCIL BLUFFS-- '"EDNESDAY, MAY 20, 1885, MUNICIPAL MUDDLE, Some Stray Shots After the Firat Battle, Thers was aome feverish feeling yes terday among the officials especlally, about the state of the oty affairs, and the contest between the mayor and conncil. The newly elected clerk, Mr. Dalrymple, has made a demand of the old city clerk, Mr. Troutman, for the books and papers, bat the latter refused to glve them up, and conttnued holding possession of the office during the day, performing his du. ties the same as usual. Mr. Troutman told the Ber man that It was not hls fight, and that he was not hanglng on for himself but that It was a quarrel be- tween the city oonncil and the mayor, and av soon as that was declded he was willing to submit to whatever might be the result, He did not proposs to hold on a minute after this dispute was decid- ed, if it was agalnst him, The council was to meet at 4 o’clock yosterday afternoon, but at that hour there was ouly the mayor, Aldermen Geise, and Shugart on band, and while the last named went off to hunt up some of the other members, the mayor and the other alderman adjourned untll this afternoon at the same hour, Mr. Trout- man served as clerk, and called the roll. About 5 o'clock the four republican mem- bers appeared, and deliberated for some time to whether they had bet- ter have a meeting or not. Mr, Dalrymple was present, and It was suggested that they meet, recognize the new clerk by having hfm record the roll oall, and thelr adjournment, but it was finally declded to do nothing of the sort, as the other side had met earller. 1t was thought that the lack of any actlon could not be construed into any recognition on their part of the right of Mr., Trontman to sarve as olerk. it is a mistake about his haviog any special policemen on hand the Monday evenlng meeting. He s that, no matter how his remarks were understood, he had not appointed any such police, and that what he sald and meant was that if there was occasion | 4 he would do 80, a8 there were a number of cltizens in the room whom he could swear In for that parpose. This morning anof formal demand will be made for the old clerk to turn over his office to his successor, and 1f he refuses it {s sald that the councll, at least the majority, will not recognize him, but will have the new clerk go right ahead keeping the minutes of thelr meetings. The whole squabble Is a disgracefal one, and much to be regratted. Just now the city has some important mattera to consider and decide, and 1t has little time or strength to devote to these petty quarrels. The time has come when this city’s officlals must pull together for the Interests of the city, and every day spent in these bickerings s a loss. If a falr, honest settlement , of these _differences o?:dbo reached all good citizens will be glad, e —— - Substantlal abstracts of titles and raal estate loans, J. W. & E. L.
