A course of dilatory tactics was adopted by the attorneys for the incumbent, With the result that when conrt adjourned about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, after six hours of pulling and hauling, but little vrogress had been made, 'he case rests where it did, with the proba bility that noxt Thursday morning will see o commencement of hostilities in good rnest he contest was commenced at 10 o'clock The judges were 1% G. Hetzol, Jacob Sims aud Iremont Benjamin, the last named gen- tleman having been engaged by Hazen to 100k after his side of the case. As tho threo sat upon the judges' hench with Hetzel in the middle, some one, noticing that the other LWO Ten wern lawyers, was so unkind as to allow himself to be reminded of the scenc that was enacted on Calvary eighteen cen- turies ago, but his suggestion was spurned by most of those present. Scanlan had | pencer Smith and C. M. Harl asattorneys, and Hazen had W. H. Ware and J. J. Shea | Hazen Overi The first thing after the court convened was the filing of a motion by | Hazen for an inerease of the cost bond from | #1,000.t0 #4,000, on the ground that the bond should be large enough to insure the pay- ment of the costs by Scankin in case he should be defeaged, 'I'his motion was over- ruled. Shea and Ware then filed anothor motion asking that Scanlan be required to ke his claims to election more spocific. hey said that Hazen was left without any idea as to the sort of evidence that he would be compelled to meet. ‘They wanted Scan- lan tosay just how many votes and what wards hie claimed had been counted wrongly for his opponent, instead of neing satistied wigh the general declaration made in his petition for a recount. Harl opposed this vigorously. Tt was im- possible, said he, for his client to tell before hana Low many votes had been incorrectly ountei, for all the evidence was locked up in the baliot boxes and in the custody of the official whose duty iv was to look after the sufety of the boxes. The coutestant had the right to demand that the boxes should be opened and the bailots recounted, with- out setting forth the exact things that he expected 1o bring to the public knowledge through such a recount. They Were Preprrod. ‘The noon hour was taken to ponder over this motion, and at 2 o'clock when the judges resumed their places they sustained the motion. Secanlan’s attorneys were pre- pared, and o few minutes later a more specific statoment was placed on file, 1t alleged that in Wright township Scan- lan haa been deprived of two votes that belonged to him, in Hazel Dell five, and in Knox three, while | there were irregular - votes cast in the [ivst preciney of the Third ward in this city and the Second of the Sixth which were counted by Hazen. The genoral allogation followed that there had been irregularities in counting in cach of the other precincts of the county, Shea and Ware followed the filing of “this with a motion demanding a still more specific statement, but this, afte considerable giscussion, was overruled. “The attorneys for Hazen then fell back on the provision of the statutes, alldwing them & continuance in case of the introduction of unexpected pleadings, and asked to have the { further hearing postponed wntil Friday morning in order that they might haye time to visit the precinets in question and look up evidence, The judges finally agreed to give them until Thursday morning at 10 o'clock. Promlses to Be Expensive. The recount promises to be a rather ex- pensive operation. Each of the three judge is allowed 4 a day and the bailiff £2 per day. If the shorthand reporter is allowed to araw the usual fec of 86 per day the expenses will go climbing along at the rate of §40 per day, to say nothing of the cost of procuring at- torneys. Scanlan’s avtorneys, . however, claim that the statute does not allow the shorthand reporter anything, so that the gentleman who is doing the work may have to hustle for his pay after the coutest is completed.

Three Council Bluffs Young Feople Find Spoon Lake Water Very Wet. Spoon lake is crowded with skaters these days, but the probability is that hereafter it will be taken in sw:aller doses by at least a portion of the youthful population of the city of Council Bluffs, There is oue part of the lake where the ice is very thin, as the waste water of the Union Pacific round house is constantly being emptied into it. Burn Sawyer and Frances Bowman, two well known pupils of the public schools, were skating together yesterday afternoon and went too near the danger line. There was a snap, a crack and a splash, and both of the young people found themselves with nothing but several feet of water between them and the terra firma that lay at the bottom of the luke. Fortunately they both munaged to catch hold of the edge of the ice and saved themselves from going to the bot- tom. Young Sawyer mauaged to kick him- self out, very wet and very cold. The girl had a worse time of it. There were plenty of people standing around, but none of them had been cast in heroic mould and there was not a grand rush to see which should have the fun of a cold bath. Fearing that the ice would break. every one stayed on dry land until finally Tom Askin, another skater, got a plank and threw it out over the i He finally got onc end of it within reuch of the girl and she caught hold of it. Just as she did so the ice again broke, but she retained her hold on the plank until she was dragged to shore, During @1l the time she was in the trying position she showed a great deal of pluck and the bystander noticed that there never was a feminine cry uttered. Jumes Anderson, a third member of the party, also fell iuto tune hole, but he managed to get himself out without any more serious consequences than a very cold and wet bath. The experience was a very exciting one for the bystanders as well as for those more nearly interested, and ther are a great many congratulations extended back and forth on accouant of its lucky ter- muation.
