COOL A A CUCUMBER. Horse Thief Eilers Brandishes a Gun and Makes THis Eseape. Deputy Sheriff O'Brien returned from Dow City yesterday, but he failed to bring back James Eilers, who stole Paul Bouquet's horse last Sunday, He also failed to bring back the horse, but neither of the failures are tobe laid at his door. Eilers was at Modale and in the custody of the officers, but as they were rustics and not up very well on the latest fashions in horse thieves, they let him get away. Eilers told them a long story about the horse which, by the way, wasnot Bouquet's at all, and did not resemble the missing animal any more than any one of a thousand that might be picked up any day., The man in charge answered the description, however, and so the outtit was gathered in Shortly after his arresc they took Eilers down to the stable for something or other and whilo there he asked permission to open his valise, which he had left there, and get his pocket handkerchief. Not suspect- ing anything they granted his request, but when “Eilers brought his hand out it con- tained the queeresy and most frightful hand- Kerchief they nad ever seen It was in the shape of a gin about a foot long and looked as though it would be of more service in shooting bu“glars than in wiping the pers- piration off an honest brow. ¢ ‘Well, gentlemen, I think I will bid youan affectionate adieu,' was the fellow's remark as he shoved the gun in their faces and com- menced backing off. The officers did not tell him that_the gates of Modale were at his disvosal, but their actions proclaimed the fact in loud toues that they did not wish to throw a straw in his way They turned and ran i the opposite di- rection from where Eilers and his M were holding their soirce. and the time they mado would have brought aney Hank's hairs in sorrow to the grave. Eilers lost no time in making good his cs- cape as soon as the coast was clear, and sought refuge in a wilderness of willows where he might stay till the day of judg- ment and not be found The horse, it seems, was one which he had gotten ia exchange for the one he stole at Bouquet's stable. the officers have not the slightest doubt that Eilers is the man who committed the douvle murder in Cannon City, Col, und for whom 2,700 was offéred. The coolness and nerve with which hie made his escape show him up as a desperado of no mean talents, and the uni versal opinion is that the oficer who next tries swords with him will have his hands full. If Eilers is really the man he is thought to be he has the best of reasons for wanting to get away, and can afford to take a good many risks in resisting arrest A man giving his name as Angus McDon- ald was brought down from Dow City by O'Brien and landed in the county jail, charged with stealing M.

Last night at wbout 11:30 o'clock as Nels Oleson ana Peter Hansen were returning to their howes from a visit to the business part of the city they were set upon near the corner of Eighth and Willow streets by a couple of footpads, budly beaten and robbed of what valaables they had on their versons. “I'he attack came very suddenly, tims of it not having an opportunity to pro- teet thomselves. Oleson, ufter a short re- sistance, submitted to the demands of the road agents, but one blow had been sufi- cient for Hansen and stretched him lifeless, apparently, at the feet of his assailants. After being robbed Oleson was told to run and not look back. e did so, butin a short time returned to the scene of the robbery with assistance. Hansen was found where he had fallen, an ugly gash in bis head and unconscious. Everything was done to re- lieve the wounded wan, but at a late hour it was thought he would die from his injuries, the attending physicians being of the opinion that his skull had been fractured. Besides the watches uand jewelry carried assaulted men both had a consider- able sum of money with them when held up, all of which was taken by the robbers. So av no arrests have been made and the police, as usual, have no fdea who were the bold bandits that committed the robbery.

Mr. Wheeler iusisted that the council was not to blame for the acts of providence ana objected to granting reliof The matter went to the committee on side, ks and bridges. Hascall served formal notice on the coun- cil that the city electrician was not an in- dividual altogether to his liking, and intro- duced a resolution requiriug that official to sh cause the next meeting why he should not be vroceeded against for willful neglect of duty in not requiring the railroad ompanies to put in clectric lights over arious (rossings, in accordance with an rdinance passed nearly three months ago. he gentleman from the First said, in sup- port of his resolution, that the electrician urzed that it would involve litigation, and this was not a sufficient excuse. Suunders wanted it referred, and so did Specht and Jacobsen, but Steel and Parker both waxed indignant over the failure of the electrician to carry out the orders of the council. Mr. Haseall thing wi insisted that there was some. Jout it that did not seem to be gener tood, 0s it was a principle thut he was contending for. The electrician would not give the electric light company the order for the lights because they were to be 2,000 nominal candle power. Such conduct as this on the vart of a subordinate was simply outrs He consented 1o strike out tho claus ring to an_investigation, or making 00 much like a prosecution Finally Referred to w Committoe, After talking the matter over fully it was found that the ordinance ordered lights at ary block along the alley betweea lzard and Nicholas, up whicn the Missourr Pacific aswitch track to the Linsced Oil com- works, althougli no cars pass over it at tand the committee had only recom- mended one at every other block. Yhe members could not understand how mistake was made. ‘They thought it unwise to be severe on the electrician for being slow to plunge the eity o litigation by trying 10 establish such n string of lights, and Hus- call’s resolution was referred to the com- mittee on gas und electric lights. The Board of Public Works was instructed to make a number of minor repairs. Mr. Back introduced his usual grist of resotutions, calling for a score of expendi- tures in small amouuts. .A few of them were adopted, but the council finally con- cluded that it was grading the ontire First ward in job lots, uud religiously placed the remainder on file. Mr. Saunders introduced a resolution calling for the appointment of a committee to confer with the water works officials lookiug to the purchase of the plant by the city, n_view of the fact that the two fac- tions of stockholders are fighting between themselves and there is a movement on foot by the bondholders of the concern to have it sold, whilo one faction headed by Mr. Venner is trying to let the matter go to foreclosure, freeze out the Illinois faction and the small fry, and then reorgamze the company under’ the name of the Omiha Water Works company, with a bonded in- devtedness of £,000,000, instead of &3,500,000 as ab the present tiue. The gentleman from the Fifth had a copy of the circular issued by Mr. Venner to the stockhoftiers of the pany, which he read, and which is outlined in column, Mr. Saunders talked very earnestly in sup- port of his resolution, and urged that this 18 the city’s time to get possession of the os that under v procedure the plant it would have to be appraised, and as no appraiscers would fix the value at less the bonded indebtedness the eity huve to pay an enormous price, 1f it waited until after the reorganization, with a bonded indebtedness of £,000,000.

He w sutistied that the plant could be buily f less than the orizinal cost, which was£8.000,- 000, but the honded ndebtedness was 8,600, 400 and he believed it could be bought under Torcelosure for less than that amount He wis certain that it would be easier for the city tofloat its 4 per cent bonds than for the new company to unload at 6 per cent, and he asked the adoption of the resolution’ calling for the conference committ It was unanimously adopted The usscssment of Pease Bros.

Mr. Howell moved to recommend it instructions to rey month gineer the wanted to hear with ort & change calling for reports to be made by the city en and chairman of the Board of Public Works. Howell's motion was defeated, and on motion of Mr. Steel the report of the committee was rejocted and the ordivance recommended for passage. Steel subsequently moved to add the name of the chairman of the Board of Public Works, and Wheeler tried to get in the street commissioner as well, so as to con- form with the charter. The city engincer was and he said that it was the “veriest bosh"” to cite the charter provisions as to the duties of officials as the charter stated dis- tinctly that they should also perform, in_addition to the duties enumerated, such duties as the mayor and council should impose, and it was the first time he had ever heard the council's right in that respeat questioned. He did not objoct to acting 1n connection with some one else, but thought large bodies moved slowly, and the larger the committee the loss cer: tainty there was of getling the work promyptly done.
