NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS Ramors Afloat to the Effect that the Motor Uompany is Willing to Settle, NOW FIGURING ON A PROBABLE OFFSET Estimating the Cost of the Six-Inch Strip by the Rails—iTazeiton Says Mo Wil Push His Suit, ndicate Just now that the offt re ting paying tersection motor company pack t have for years Wright, t were at the eity ubject of which 80 much ¢ Wells board of dir office yesterday making finding out just low the city for paving the strip six inc oceupied the rails. They ! man make an estimate and they nearly his estimate agrees city. at their Intentions are ha told the city officials, but from a sou sidered to bo reliable it s learncd the goon as the amount of this is ascertained, the whola of the taxes now claimed by the city will be paid, protest heing entered up in due form upon this amount and all vthers fn which the company claims it been overcharged, and suit will then be instituted at once to recover that which has been in dispute. If this course is pursued it will show conclusively that the company realizes the uncomfortable position in which it been placed and its desire to concillate the people With reference to the strip of six in it should be stated that the city off scout the idea of the company's being able to collect anything back. As a matter of fact the paving could have been done more cheaply had ralls not been there, and it cost considerably more to fit the paving around the rails than the material would have cost to fill the space. Furthermore, it Is claimed by the city officials that when the granite paving was torn up to ma room for the rails the stone that came out of the six-inch strip thus formed was gob. bled by the motor company and used for its own purposes. This, of course, gives the clty a good chance for a counter claim, pro- viding 1t is found that the company really thinks it has something coming to it on this score and has not merely been bluffing. The hope is universally cxpressed that the report of the company's change of tactics may not prove false. City Attorney Hazel- ton said yesterday that this rumor would not influence him at all in commencing the suit, as he was instructed by the city coun- cil Monday night, but that he would file his petition as soon as it could be drawn up, claiming the full amount as shown by the tax books.

The scenes of Monday and Tuesday among the striking ice cutters were repeated yes- terday with a little variation, and although nothing very desperate was done the situa- tion was sufficiently exciting. During the morning a fight tcok place between Frank Webster, one of the strikers, and David Lud- wigen, who lives on Denton street. S eral others other were mixed up In the affray. Webster drew a knife and threat- ened to carve the interior of Ludwigen's body from the outside. There was a stam- pede, in which Webster's team Jolned. The frightened animals dashed frantically through a barb wire fence and were badly injured, besides almost demolishing the wagon. Ludwigen called at Justice Vier office and swore out an information charg- ing Webster with assault with intent to commit murder, and an officer was camping on Webster's trail last evoning. Sherift Hazen spent the greater part of the day at the scene of the strike, but there Wwas no very great demonstration. The strikers devoted their time to pelting the workers with mud and lumps of ice and calling them scabs and vile names generally. There were fifty-two teams ready for work in the morning, but only thirty-six worked, the rest being intimi dated by the strikers. v NISO! BROS. bruary Sale. Muslin underwear, linens and white goods.

Frank Trimble returned yesterday from the east, where he went as a representative of the Merchants and Manufacturers tion to look after the claims of Council Bluffs in connection with the big sugar refinery which is to be moved to some western city in the near future. He found that there were about thirty citles in the race, and each one was putting forth its best efforts to secure the prize. A proposition is about to be xent in by each one, and the company will then select whichever place offers the largest ad- vantages. Council Bluffs compares with any of the others in natural advantages, but there must be something else besides nat- ural advantages in order to command the attention of the refinery people. It is un- derstood that a bonus is tho thing they are looking after. Mr. Trimble thinks that if Council BInffs business men get together and ralse a bonus of $100,000 and buy a site of forty acres on which to locate the plant they will get the plum. It remains to bo seen whether they will do so. On Its part the company agrees to put up a plant to cost not less than $1,000,000 and employ not less than 1,500 men associa- nt of the fAnoest at Miller's, 14 rl a roil upaunls.

It was not extensively ad- vertised, and the aldermen got together In a way that indicated that they had some private business to perfrom. Whether this was 5o or not, the fact remains that there were no spectators present. A proposition was presented from John Lindt, as the at- torney for Fred Krueger, who got a judg- ment or two against the city and then skipped out, taking with him $150 belong- ing to the Treubund society. Lindt could not get any fees from Krueger, so he began negotiations with the city for a settlement of the Lwo c Both grew out of alleged injuries to Mrs. Krueger. In one of them Krueger got a judgment of $750 against the city and the case was appealed to the supreme court. In the other he got a judgment of $1, but the judgment was afterwards set aside on account of the misconduct of one of the jurors in slipping away from the rest of the jury and getting a drink after the case had been submitted, without inviting the bailiff to go. along. ~ Lindt offered to dismiss both cases and pay all costs for a cash settlement of $1,000. His offer was ac- cepted by the city council. The matter of condemning a triangular piece of ground in the rear of the city building was discussed. A suit has already been commenced in the court against Mr Eliza Crawford to condemn the ground, and it will be tried next week.

Under the present system transfers require long abstracts of title, eiving a full history of the changes in title back to the original government patent. This abstract business is all in the hands of private partics. The bill introducea by Mr. Snoke provides thut all recorders of deeds and their deputics shall be registrars of titles. [very such of- ficer is required to give a bond, approved by the district court, in the penal sum of 1: 0,000, conditioned upon a faithful dis- 3 said bond to be filed in secretary of state.

The application for registration shall be in the form of an afidavit and shail contain name of owner and full description, with names of owners of adjacent lavds, The certificate of title shall only be issued upon the written opinion of the two ex- amin that the applicant has a good title, and the certificate shall contain a specitic statement of all mortgage liens or other in- cumbrances. The effect of registrationshall be to exewpt the land from ail charges, ex- cept such as are noted in the certificate of registration and the following: Any exist- ing leasc not exceeding five years. public highways or any existing right of way or easement and all taxes or special assess- ments, All subscquent transfers shall be made by simply muking the usual deed aud baving previous title cancelled by the rej trar.

For each cer- tificate showing the dition of the regis- ter, which is equivalent to an abstract of title, the fee charged is only $1.

At times men entering the saloon business have tried to ignore them, but suits would be brought in such rapid succession and the fines were so heavy, that they would soon be forced out of bus- iness. As a result, very few have refused to pay (ribute to them. Reliof is now in sight, however, even though the general assembly should fail to modify the prohibitory law this winter.

The scenery is fresh,and the effects are startling and thoroughly pleasing. In the uew production the inventive eon- ius of the Haulous shines very con- spicuously. The tricks which are con- nected with the scenery and para- phernahia used 1 “Funtasma” are very gratifying. To attempt description would convey but a faint idea of the beauties, the highly picturesque revelutions and startling and original effects evolved on the stage ul each performance. As far as the spectacular features are concerned it is equal to any en- tertainment of this kind ever offered.” The trausformations, pictures and scenic beauty and wechuni zenuity of the production would alone make it remark- able; but woven through these, and haviug close connection with them, is an entertain- ment of variety and unusual merit.
