Nichols and in payment re- ceived an 380 mortgage on sixty-two head of cattle. About a month after- ward he discovered that he had been beaten, and put the matter in the hands of the police. For the past month Cup- tain O'Brien has been working on the case, and finully found his mau at Corning where he arrested him, It seems that Nichols’ career in Corning was not altogether straight, and he was looked upon there as a confidence man. An effort is being made to settle the matter, and in the 1 ntime Nichols is enjoying the hospitality of Deputy Blieriff O'Neil at the county jail.

The boy claims he found it on the street and gave it to his father, but as Bennett, sr. did not advestise it, and at first denied having it, the general impression is that both are liable to being suspected, at least. —~.—— J.

A. ers, Silver City, Ia, THE NEWS IV THE BLUFFS. Mr. B. Irons Dies Suddenly In the Night Without Warning. A FARMER ROBBED IN A HACOK. Boy In Trouble For Not Returning & Found Purse—Saloons Agaia in Court—Crooked Mortgage. Death Without Warning. The announcement came with shock- ing surprise to this community yester- day morning that Mr. Edward Irons was dead. He was about the streetsthe day before as usual, attending to his business as usual, in apparent good health, and when he went home at the close of business there was not the least indication that there was any approach- ing sickhess, much less death. When the hour came for the family to retire he conducted prayers, as was his custom, and about 10 o'clock went to bed. About fifteen minutes later his wife heard him making a peculiar noise and she tried to arouse him but found him unconscious. She summoned help and a physician, but in almost as brief time as it takes to tell the details he breathed his last. He had evidently no intimation that he was nearing the end, for he had not complained in the least of any illness or peculiar sensations, death coming with- out any apparent warning. Mr. Trons was born in England, and was in his forty-sixth year. He had re- sided here a score of years, and was well known in business and social circles. For some time he wasengaged in the mills here, but the dust affected his lungs, and for this reason he made a change, by which his health might be bettered. With the exception of this lung trouble he seemed to be unusually robust and hearty, and few who looked upon him imagined that in any respect he had ailments. It is supposed that a clot of blood stopped the heart's action, thus causing the sudden death. Mr. Irons has lately become the sec- retary and treasurer of the new Council Bluffs Lumber company, and was j gcmng its business in sha creased and enlarged in all the direc- tions which would suggest themselves to a man of his known enterprise and ability. In the Buglint church of this city he was one of the strongest members. He was known as “Deacon Irons,” from the length of time he had occupied that position. He was also superintendent of the Sunday-school, a position in which he was greatly esteemed, both by officers and scholars. He will be greatly missed, for he had bravely borne his part in the many struggles and varied experiences which have attended the building up of the church, He leaves a wife and one son, Ernest, alad of about twelve years. 'The fun- eral will meet at the house at 2 o'clock, and the services at the church will be at 2:30 o'clock. The Sabbath school scholars are particularly invited to be present, this being most befitting in v‘icw of the relationship he bore to them. ——— Don’t fail to see the Radiant Home stove.

Yesterday afternoon Judge Deemer heard a number of saloon cases, in which applications were made for per- manent injunctions. The changein the public feeling was strikingly manifest, for there were very few who attended the hearing out of curiosity, and these few yawned, and seemed to be more con- cerned in having some warm corner in which to sit, rather than to pay any special attention to the matter in hand. The proccedings were dreary of any sensational features, and the calling of the docket at the opening of term was an exciting episode in comparison. In some of the cases there were continu- ances, in _others, motions taken under advisement. The case against Jacob Apel was heard. The two informers, Hardy and Alexan- der, who were employed some time ago at 83 a day and expenses to get evi- dence against the saloons were on the stand. They testified about as in other cases, but the examination was not so long nor so spicy as when they first appeared inpublic. There was a slight ripple when Mayor Groneweg was called as a witness for the prosecution. The mayor could not swear whether there was a bar room in the rear of Apel’s grocery store or not. He had not been in the place for some time, he could not remember exactly when. He did not know what the general reputa- tion of thel)lnce was in this respect. He believed that some time ago Mr. Apel used to pay the city a license, but that was for selling drinks not prohib ited by law. He did not know whether Apel had obeyed this ordinance or not. Another witness for the prosecution was Max Mohn, the owner of the Cres- ton house. He was also in ignorance of whether Apel kept & bar or not. He had not been in there for a long time. The prosecution had to fall back onto the two informers, who hud bought liguors there. 'his was a sample case. The evidence was such as has been heard in numerous other cases before, with only a change in the way of bringing in witnesses from the anti-prohibition side, in the hope of getting them to give some facts which would strengthen the fight against the saloons. The contempt cases are not yet called up. They and other cases will be heard later, and some decisions in cases heard yesterduy will be given later, there be- ing points on which the court wants a little more light. That the general drift will be against the saloons is con- ceded. — E. H. Sheafe loans mon on chattel ity of every deseription. Private consulting rooms. All business strictly confidential.

Asa general rule the vag is so well pleased with the scenery that he wishes to sce more of it and fails to return, but the judge found one Monday morning who *“‘wasn’t built that way.” Insteadof taking advantage of the offered avenue of escape, he stuck close to the stove in the city jail, thereby insuring for himsel{ comfortable quartors for a month to come.

Hunter, a farmer from Shenan- doah, came to this city Monday evening and proceeded to take in the town under the pilotage of Mead Weicoff, one of ‘Welch'’s express drivers. He claims that between 11 and 12 o'clock Weicoft wae joined by two others on lower Broadway, and three knocked him down and robbed him of about $40 and a gold ring that he wore. He soon found a sympathetic ‘“‘peeler” to whom he n{mw«d a bleeding face and the signs of & scuffie in the street, and as & result Mr. Weicoff beheld thesunrise from be- hind the bars. The other two have not been arvested, The case was placed in the hands of Colonel Dailey, and as 800n as the rush in the district court is over Weicofl will be tried for highway robbery. —_———— List your property with Cooper & Judsen, No. 120 l":in st. it Before the Bar. Judge Aylesworth had an increase of business at the police court yesterday morning. Fred Green and William Criss, two youthful Africans, were the first victims. They were charged with stealing paving blocks, and as they were evidently indifferent to the rights of ownership they were fined $10 and ‘costs, in default of which they were committed to jail. John Arnds, an Avoca farmer, was taxed $7.60 for becoming too enthu- sinstic. Herman Bullock was dis- chnr(fcd. the judfiu remarking that he could get even with him the next time, as he would surely be in again before long. The cases of Mead Weicoff for highway robbery and Arthur Bennett for larceny were not ready and will probably be heard this morning. ‘Wadsworth, Etnyre & Co., 236 Main street, make reliable abstracts of prop- erty in Pottawattamie county.

The object of this remark had just passed up the street, and ever on the alert for news, the reporter followed him. He was a middle aged man, well dress: ed, and apparently a gentleman of the well todo clags, In his hand he held a memorandum book, and as he scanned the signs as he passed them he mutter- ed to himself, “Four Hundred and One! Four Hun- dred and One! Four Hundred and One. Yes, that's the number wife said; Four Hundred and One,Broad- way.” And as he came opposite to Harkness Bro's store, the look of anxiety passed from his face and he broke into a laugh. As he passed through the door he said to himself, “I may be stark mad—crazy as a loon, but I am not crazy enough to pay double prices for inferior goods, when I can get the best of Hark: ness Bros,, for less money.
