In his descent he struck an- other workman, Andrew Wagnor, ana it was that fact that prevented him from being dushed to Lastant death, although the col lision was disastrous to Wagner. Lasite was picked unconscious and the patre wagon was called for to take him away fo treatment. In the meantime everything possil wis done o case the suffering of the two unfortunite men, Lasiter was taken to the Council Blufts Medical and Surgical institute he was evidently much the worse of the two. An investigation showed that his injurics con sisted of a dislocation of the hip bone, two roken ribs, a cut on the jaw and several teeth knocked out, besides serious internal injurics. Dr. Laugel, who is attending hi stated last eveniug that the man's injuric are very dangerous and his recovery is u matter of much donbt Wagner wus taken to St hospital. Ho was conssious all the time, and his agonized cries for mercy as he was being carried through the streets turned the heart of more than one listener sick. When he arrived at the hospital Drs. Macrae and Carter found that he had sustained a com pound fracture of the left arm between the shoulder and elbow. [t was a very serious wound, but the physicians werc in hopes that amputation would not ve necessary.

R WITH A BUR Martin Mcots One and Brings a Bealp Home with Him., Shortly before 2 o'clock yesterday morn- ing Oficer Martin of the city police force was walking along Eighth strect near the cornerof Broadway, when he heard a sus- picious sound that seemed to come from W. H. Knepher's store, a short distance wwa, He placed himself in a position to watch, and o few seconds lnter saw three men mov- ing about inside the buildine. They had forced open the doublo doors in front, that was probably the cause of the hoi that attracted the officer's attention. He tip-toed his way down upon the enemy aud met oue of the Tellows just as he was coming out. Grabbing him by the shoulder, he marched him“back into the store, keeping the burglar's body in front of his own us a shicld against any bullets that the other two might send out ia his dircction in em- phatic protest agninst being intruded upon As Martin entered the store he heard some one say: “Hauds up.” {e obeyed the in- junction, but the hand that went up had his steel cane, and when it came down an in. stant later it did so with a force that would have cut one of the burglars’ nead in two 1 he not dodged and thus escaped tho full force of the blow. An iustaut later two pi tol shots rang out on the night air. One of the bullets struck Martinon the left side o few inches below the heart, while the other whizzed past his ear with an angry hum. In the melee Martin allowed the two other burglars to get between him and tho front door, and they both escaped. As they were scuflling a huge pistol dropped on the floor, and Martin quicily put it in his pocket, supposing it to belong to the man who had done the shooting, but on e amining it found that all the lonas were still init. He accordingly asked tho prisoner if that was his weapon, and the prisoner acknowledged the corn without any parloy. When asked about the affair the fellow pleaded innocence. He told the usual story about his being o “Colorado sufferer,” and had been traveling with eight other men When they reached Lincoln he was the only moneyed man of the ecrowd, and his assets only ‘wmounted to #.50. He divided his wealth with his companions, ana when the crowd arrived in Council Bluffs 40 cents was ail that was left. They went out and bovght some stuff to eat in the afte nooun, and along about midught his companions told him they had made arrangements to get something for breakfast av Knepher's store. It never oe- curred to him that it was not customary for grocery stores Lo remain open until 1 o'clock in the morning, and te willingly started of on their ante-breakfast shopping expedition, with the results above stated. He said that he was ready to give the officers any assistance he could in running down the other burglars and furnished them with description of them. His story has a fishy and the officers are inclined to put but little faith in lis ad vunces. Martin, strangely cnough, was not seri- ously injured in the encounter. The bullet, ugh o large one and fired at short did not even penetrato his clothing, 1t struck him on the side below the waist fow inches, and glanced off, passing through the top of thd door. Alvhough it did not dray blood, it caused & spot of inky black- ness nearly as lurge as the paln of his hand on the spot whera it struck, The other shot, which flew past his car, filled the loft sid face with powder marks, thus bearing tence Lo the shortuess of the range. “The man who is in custody gives his name as Pat Casey.

He | fished out o laree roll of typewritten manu: script and presented it to the gaze of the council, but he would not ailow any one to come near enough to see what it said. “i want the minutes to show," he remarked, “that I, us chairman of this committee, am all ready to make my report, but the other two members ure not, and therefore | want more time.” As he said this he cast a ma- licious glance in the direction of newspaper row, and the request for more time was granted The ordinance regulating the speed of motor trains was also brought up and passed unanimously.

The question of the purity of the city er then cawe up, and the petition which was deawn up by the regular physicians of the city at a recent mecting was read and referred to the Board of Health. The coun- cil adjourned und immediately reconvened as a Bourd of Health, and City Physician Mae- rac was called upon for his opinion of the condition of the water supply. He staed that he was aid of the results of opening up a main_sewer in Owaha above the source of the Council Bluffs water supoly, and sug- wested that steps be taken to prevent, by lezal interference, the city of Omaha from opening up the sewer in casea further ex- nintion should show that the emptying of sewerage would contaminate the water 8o as to make it unfit tor drinking purposes. Ho recommended that the city pro- cure samples of water from the hydrants in various parts of the city, and from the riverat the same distance below Council Bluffsand Omaha as the Council Bluffs water works pumping station is below the mouth of the objectionable sewer, Manager Hartof the water works com- pany was calicd vpon, and said that he had recently had a_conversation with City Engi- ueer Rosewater of Omaha, in which that gen- tleman said that a sewer was intended at present simply for drainimg off the low. lands in & comparatively uninhabited por. tion of Omaha. In time, however, when Omaha builds up in its northern part, the sewer will probably be used for house pur- poses. He also quoted Mr. Rosewater as saying that none of the dozen or more cities along the Missouri { beon troubled with epidemics which were traceable to im- purities in the water, in spite of the fact that they were all using the river a source of water supply and also as a sewer outlet, and this, he thought, was as good evidence as is needed as to the purity of the water. After the matter had been discussed at considerable length it was decided to in- struct the city physician and water commit- tee to get samples of water, as suggested by the ty ph n,' and havo them analyzed by the state chemist inorder to ¢ rest the much vexod ques- tion, for the raising of which Manager Hart blames Tk Bee The city physician called attention to the practice which now obtains of postponing the issuance of burial permits until the first of the month, very often until the corpse has been interred for thirty days.

LOOK FIFL N BLG ENGIN Pottawattvmie County after OPnellio for Unpaid Dacs, The Union Pacific Railway company had a great deal of grief yesterday after- noon by reason of its refusal w0 pay to the treasurer of Pottawattamic county, the taxes of 1501, The taxes due for that year amount, with the penalties, to §,0585.75, but the company has steadily refused to p: them, claiming that the assessment of §12% 000 was exorbitant. Yesterday noon County Treasurer W. B. Reed, accompanied vy his attoruey, Finley Burke, proceeded to the Union Pacific round house in Council Bluffs and scized fifteen of the engine: It has been the custom of the engineers since the very hot weather came on to roll their engines into the round house during the n hour, 50 45 to bein the shade while ating their lunches. This fact had boen communicated W the county treasurer, so he planned his campaign with the end in view of making a big haul when he wmade any haul at all, His seizure of the engines caused a panic in the railroad camp. Tho company was short ou engines at best and the yardmaster, who showed Reed about tho house, pointed out this engine and that engine which, he siid, the company must have to perform its work during tho afterucon and evening. Ieed waited until the list had been made complete and a lot of old and second class cogines w left, which, the trainmen secued to intimate, he was welcome 1o take, and theo remarked : “Well, 1 guess these engines that you need 80 budly ure just the ones I need mysclf.” Thelr Blufls Didu't Work, Quite a bIuff was run in by some of the trainmen when a certaiu engine was lovied upon, which, they claimed, the Awmerican Loau and Trist company bad a claim upon. “You will get yourself iuto trouble with the Loan and Trust company if you seize that one,” one of them remarked. “Well,” wus the reply, “‘there's no telling but the American Loan and Trust company may havea claim on a lot of the rest of them, 80 I guess 1 shall have to take some more of them, {u order that I may be sure of having enough " George F. Wright, the attorney for the railway company informed iteed that he was uot entitled to more than twice the value of the claim, but he in turn was informed by Burke that the county had & right w five the Union days posscssion of the_property in which to iced the at- } | make an inventory. ‘This sil trney, and he began to see that there was nothing to be done excepting W accept the inevitable.

A lot more rustdyig was done, with the result at last that the company got possession of its fifteen engines at 745 o'clock last evening, titing in return a satisfactory bond, The treasurer has rfefely begun his cam- paign against railwag, tax dodgers, and milar scenes may be loaked for in the near future unless the companies come up to the scrateh in much better Shiipe than they have done for the past few yadrs Manhattan beach - Manawa — Man- dolin club tonight The Grana 1t Councit_ Bluffs.
