Billy Cuppy Acquitted of Assault— A Money-Making Policeman—The Building Prospects—Burglars on Trial—Police Alarm. Testing Titl Council Bluffs real estate is becoming %0 valuable that persons are ready to fight to possess it. Until within a com- paratively short time certain portions of the bottom lands hereabouts were supposed to have no especial value, Now ything that looks like dirt and the boots is eagerly sought he impending legal controversy ceting the title to the land extend- ing from Thirty-fourth street west and from Sixteenth avenue to the pumping works (about 240 acrcs) has already been referred to in the Beg. Within the past week things have come to pas indicating that the fight will be preci- pitated and assume definite form at once, This land was squatted upon hy a number of persons years ago, when it possessed no value. They cleared it of hrush, ditched it and put it in condition for tilling. Crops were raised with varying success until 1882 when the great overflow occurred. After the water had subsided a8 found that sl quantity of rich deposit had been h-h. and since then good erops, in good quantity have heen produced there. Now that the grade lines of the streets have been run appears that nearly the entire tract was filled to grade by the overflow of six years ago. Hence the property possesses great value. At various ti during the past four ye notices of ejectment have been served upon the holders of this vealty, but no notice has been taken of them. Various schemes have heen devised by persons having no legal title to the property to secure possession by remov- ing those now there, so that all means, whether just or not, which are used for that purpose have come to be regarded with o great deal of suspicion. The present possessors elaim to have the best possible title (based upon the govi ment-patent), and do not propose to re- linquish possession until forced to do sa through due process of law.

J. Greenumayer. Unfon Abst . i Charged With Crimes. In the district court yesterday the time was wholly taken up in the trial of Wilsey, one of the trio of young men arrested for burglarizing Mr. Maurer’s ssidence. The three were jointly in- dicted, but demanded and were granted sepurate trials, The evijdence was not over strong on the part of the state, but it received some help by the cross-exam- ination of the witnesses for the defense, and the defendant himself, who went on the stand. The three were prowling about the city the night of the burgla and among the incidents of their round- ing up of the town was the stealing of an ax from Cole & Cole’s hardware stare on Main strect, which was taken by them to a dive near the Northwest- ern depot, where they sold the ax for 50 cents. One of the trio that night had a rag wrapped around his hand, and begged for money on the strength of his pretended disability, although as was afterwards shown he had $8 or $9 in his pocket, and needed no alms. One of the strongest bits of evidence against Wilséy was his identification by the girl employed in Mr. Maurer's family, who was awakened by his entering her room and saw him distinctly. Another strong evidence against him was the finding of u piece of knife blade sash of a window of the Bullard re: dence, where an attempt at burgla was made that very night. When Wil- soy was arvested the knife in his pocket had a broken blade, and the piece fitted it exactl, There was considerable difficulty in getting this evidence before the jury, owing to the rulingson technical points, but Colonel Daily in his arguments on these objections, and in his proffers of evidence made it clearly appurent what ying to prove on this point. jury in the case of W, B.

'k O'Brien, of the police force, is doing a thriving business buying up fee bills of witnesses in attendance upon court, He gets them for about 50 cents on a dollar, which is a pretty fair inter- est on the use of the money, as the county board meets every three months and allows the bills. There has been some criticism of O'Brien’s methods of doing this business, but he justifies him- sclf by declaring that he has the perfect rightto buy up these fees as cheap as he can, and make what he can. He denies that he ever seeks to mislead those with whom he deals, and that they do not have to sell to him at a discount, if they prefer to wait until the hoard meets and allows the claims. He takes his chances on the board allowing the witness fees, but the chances scem pretty good. As he has several hundred dollars in the buginess it must be decidedly profita- ble, and he will soon be able to retire from the force. Notice.

TROXELL BRC No. Telephone No. ErEie Where's the Nearest Alarm? Tt is a fact to which all will bear wit- ness that Council Bluffs has one of the organized fire services in the state. Its arrangements for transmitting alarms combines a police call with the fire alarm. Both can be used in con- junction or each separately. These boxes are well distributed over the city £0 that good protection in this depart- ment is given. This matter has been fully explained through the city press time and again. In addition to this, printed cards showing the location of the different boxes and the keys to them, have been distributed broadcast among the people, and yet there is a most wind lamentable ignorance upon the subject. This ignorance is in- excusable. More than this-—where the intervests of the whole are so closely al- lied with the jndividual, this neglect is almost culpable. The eity as a whole is fully entitled toall the benefits intended ured by the expenditure of this It might as well be without ystem, as, having it, the people will not learn how to use it. A great conflagration may some time visit us which might have been averted had the discoverer of the fire known how to use the alarm and where the neavest box nearit every getting their ‘ash Grocers, 5 Middle Broadway. e facts are true of the police call. Only two nights ago a lady living in the castern part of the city dis- covered some one stealing coal. Not- withstanding the fact that an alarm box was located within a single block of the house, she sent a boy ten_blocks to the police station for an officer. By the time he arrived the thief was gone. These instances are constantly oc- curring. The people have the appliance with which to protect themselves and every person should loose no time in familiarizing himself with the location of the box nearest his home. The same knowledge should be possessed by each wife, son and daughter. Then, und rot until then, will the |wnl)le of the city get value received from the investment. In this connection it may be noted that there is some complaint because more keys to the boxes are not fur- ished. Itis said thatin some cases s only one key, and it is liable to occur that when this one is wanted it cannot be had on account of the absence of the family, or some other equally good reason. There should be at least two to each box, and they should be put into the hands of responsible persons. ‘What the people want is the best possi- ble protection. and if the best possible protection and of the suggestions herein given are followed they will have it. — For best quality coal and wood, call on Gleason, 26 Pearl street. e Sensitive Plants, Some time ago the school board de- cided to introduce an innovation in re- gard to appointing principals for the va- rious school buildings in the city vious to the change the same principals had been retained, and the policy had a tendency to create a kind of aristocratic feeling among some of those who occu- pied the positions, and caused them to think that they must be principals. It 1s now the custom to change the princi- palship about among the teachers of the various rooms, and so fit them all for the positions. In this way there are always some teachers in the building qualified to take the place of principal in case of sickness,and at the same time wre fitted to take charge of schools in other places. When the ange was made, of course it created a ither unpleasant feeling among some of the “old timers,” and th were de- idedly nettled at being required to give way to others. This feeling did not exist among all of them, and has now almost outgrown, but some ot them still re, and can havdly give up ssors. Where this is the very pleasing to the offended one to aunoy the new principal as much as possible, and some of the means taken to do this are quite sur ng. A few vs since the teacher whose turn it was watch the scholars during play hours at one of the buildings happen d) to be one of these dissatistied ones. A dog ventured upon the grounds. and the watcher was not slow to improve the chance to annoy the principal. She im- mediately sent her a note informing her of the of the strange cani ing r to go out and This is but one of the many sim- wnoyanees that ave devised by the gruntled ones. The principal re- ferred tois saving all these notes, and will soon have a serapbook that will be interesting reading, e —— A Snap.

A member of one of the lumber firms of gthis city stated yesterday'that the books of his company would show sales of over §200,000 worth of lumber to be delivered to various parties in this city within the next three months, and that this amount did not include the Mer- riam block orthe Pacific hotel. Another gentleman, who is in a position to know as much about such things as any one, pulled out #1,000, and offered to bet the whole amount that there would be 500 new houses built and occupied in this city during the present year. Through- out the city the lumber dealers, real estate men, architects and contractors all say the same thing, and express great satisfaction at_the present pros- pect for the year.

Confession of Murder—The ctim Turns Up Alive. Rochester (Minn.) Post: A few days ago & man sat in the office of County At- torney Eaton, a man who is the central figure of a queer story, neither a ro- mance, a drama nor & comedy; but con- taining some of the elements of euch. William H. Fisher, the man referred to, is a typical poor man. He is fifty-three years old, while his wife is a robust, en- ergetic woman of forty. They have two sons and a daughte During their married life of twenty-four years they have lived around in different places in Michigan, Fisher working at such jobs as he could get, generally wood chop- ping in the winter. While working in wood camp last winter he became ac- quainted with I. W. Wallace, a man of forty-two; a healthy, robust sort of a fel- low. From that time Wallace has lived m the sher family, and he and Fisher have worked together. Last October the family moved to a place in the woodsi in the town of Monitor, eight miles from Bay City Mich., the place being rented by W lace. They lived there in apparent sat- ction to all parties till the 4th of No- vember, when Fisher left his home. He says his only object in leaving was to go to Dakota to take up a claim and make a home for his fam He claims there was no unusual intimacy between Wal- lace and his wife, and that when he left home his wife bade him an affectionate good bye, and he suspected nothing wrong. But it has been ascertained that his send-off was a peculiar one. Iisher, Wallace and Fisher's oldest son, a boy of at Bay City having charge of the county poor, and Wallace represented himself to the officer as being the head of the family, that Fisher was stopping with him, and he could not keep him any longer, and if the officer would pay Fisher’s fare to. Chicago, Walla would contribute % towards The officer seeing a chance to vid of & prospectiv charge, took Wallace's #6 and bought the ticket, ted on his pilgrimag It has ascertained that” Wallace gave Fisher more, to send him beyond Chicago. \er being thus got rid of, Wallac had a clear title as head of the fami and seems to have been such to all i tents. Soon the suspicion became gen- eral that Wallace and Mrs. Fisher had made way with him, and they were both arrested on the 8d of this month. At the preliminary examination held at Bay City, Mrs, Fisher testified that she murdered Fisher in the house in the woods, pounding his head with a ham- mer; and she told of washing away blood, then stais of which were found on the flood and walls and are still there. The boy Charlie testified that he was present and saw hismother mur- der his father with the hammer, that he helped Wallace to carry the dead body to a place in the woods about a mile from the house, and that his mother went along carrying two spades, with which Wallace and the boy buried the murdered man. The boy claimed that he could show the spot where the body was buried, and a party of twenty men, nine of whom were officers, went with the boy, and he led them through the snow and among the roughest kind of fallen timber,to a place which he pointed out as the spot. The men scraped away the snow and searched thoroughly, but could find no sign of a buried body. Murs. Fisher, Wallace.and the boy were committed to jail to await trial for the murder. A few days ago it was found that a letter had been re- ceived at Bay City by Mrs. Fisher, the writing of which was believed to be the same as that in acontract that had been written by Fisher. The letter was from Kendall, Monroe county, Wisconsin, James Gilbert, an intelligent farmer, who lived adjoining Fisher, and who was well ac- uainted with him, went to Kendall and rom there traced him to Winona, thence to Rochester. Marshal Kalb soon found Fisher and took him in cns- tody. He was readily recognized by his” neighbor, Gilbert. Fisher seemed greatly surprised to learn that he was murdered corpse, and said he had not even been struck by his wife and could not account in any way for the blood stains in the house. is wife and son had lied without the least apparent rea- son, He eaid he was trying to make his way to Carrington, in Dakota, near Devil’s Lake, where he had been told that he could probably get work. Mr. Gilbert did not seem to have any use for Fisher after finding him, beyond get- ting an affidavit from him as to his movementssince leaving his home. The county commissioner, hows , objected to entertaining Fisher, and finally on Tuesday Fisher was given money ~and started back for the Michigan woods. e DR. CARVER. Description of Some of His Famous Feats in Shooting. Dr. Cavver recently gave an account of his exploits with a gun 10 a San Fran- cisco Call repor He said: **When 1 left this city the first match I had at Omaha. 1 shot a rifle against my oppenent’s shot-gun. Ibroke 09 glass balls out of 10 with the rifle and won. In fuct I had several matches in America before I journeyed to Eng land to meet all cormers, and won every match I eng: i “In Buroy exhibitions of rifle and shot-gun shooting before the prince of Wales, Emperor Willinm and many of the great magnates and arvistocrats of the Furopean countries, I challenged any man in England to shoot a match with a rifle, even offering liberal handicaps, but not a single one would accept. That is why 1 had to give 0 many exhibition shoots; but they were paying, however. ] matched Crayshaw, a famous lish pigeon shot, to shoot me a mateh, 100 bivds, for #3.000 a side. He killed seventy-eight out of that number, and I grassed ninety-three, the remaining séven bivds . falling dead just outside the boundary. This is the biggest record ever made on blue rocks with any kind of a gun; the boundary wis eighty yards, ¢ l “Alter vhis match I engaged' in ‘an- other bout of 100 birds with Scott, the great English pigeon shooter, and de-~ feated him. “‘One of the biggest and hardest games I tackled in England with the shotgun was a freeze-out match wherein fourteen of the crack shote of all Eng- land participated. Each man put u #250, the winner to take all. The matc! lasted three days, and the betti the outside was something surprising. At the start the betting was eight to two against me, but later on it came down to even. Scott, my old opponent, downed all his men, and so did I, until we came together for the shoot-oft, The betting was then about even, and I won, with my American colors flying, and ;‘bl‘l“" 86,000 in pocket after the last bird ell, ‘*Just before I returned to America I engaged in another glass-ball match shoot with Scott.
