NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS | [— Judge Macy Gives an Opinion of Much Interest to Property Owners, LEGALITY OF SCHOOL TAX IN QUESTION Case Involves the Levy of 1802 and Was Onee Passed on by Judge Deemer His Decision s Now Consid= erably Modified. An important decision was rendered b Judge Macy last Monday in the district court at Avoca. It was In the case of J against the town of Avoca, the plaintift gecking to enjoin W. B. Reed, the county treasurer, from collecting a school tax of 14% mills on account of the illegality in the manner of making the levy The points at issue were the same as those involved in the case in which the ancil Bluffs school district was interested a little over a year ago, the board of di rectors having neglected to certify the levy to the Board of Supervisors until after the third Monday in Ma e date fixed by law Notwithstanding the illegality, the super visors went on with the levy and the treas urer collected the first half before the Council Bluffs difficulty brought to th notice of some of the property owners the fact that there was a chance fo get thelr money back. Several suits were brought One of these cases was tried before Judge Deemer, who rendered a diciglon granting the injunction to restrain the collection of the tax, and also gave the property owners the money they had already paid in on the tax levy. Judge Macy now comes in with a decision in which he takes issue with Judge Deemer, holding that an injunction will hold only as to the half of the tax that had not yet been pald in. The case will be taken to the supreme court to de cide which Is In the right A Favorite for Coughs and Colds. “Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is the best medicine for coughs and colds we have ever gold,” says 8.

It is shrewdly suspected that the ardent champlons of the move had in view an end that was not wholly disclosed in the context of the law. The bill provides for a | commission of five, which shall be leg governor and supreme court all fn one. of the five are to be chosen by the house, one by the senate and two by the supreme court, Its members are to begin work not later than the 1st of September next and are to receive $10 per day and actual expenses while engaged in the work.

Old Man On Trial at ) Ta., April 4.—(Special Telegram to The Bee)—A jury was empaneled in the Goodale murder trial this afternoon. Dell Balderson and Sam Kidd, fhe men charged with the crime, pleaded not guilty. The de- fense will endeavor to destroy the confessions of Balderson, in which he implicates Kidd, by introducing testimony of his mental weak ness. They will also endeavor to prove th Balderson implicated himself in other crimes in which it is known he had no hand. The 1 will last several days. he crime was one of the most brutal mur- ders in the annals of the state's criminad record. It occurred at a small country farm near Afton. G Goodale, the vic- an old man 72 years of age, lived alone n. He was un agreeable old gentle A respected in the community. Among who made calls on Goodale were Balderson and Kidd, the men charged with the murder. The impression prevailed in the neighborhood that Mr. Goodale had con- siderable mone: reted about the place, the story gain dence from the fact that the old gentleman had lost some money in the Tingley bank faflure, and that he had withdrawn his deposits from other banks. It is evident these reports reached the ears of Balderson and Kidd and they decided to rob the old gentleman. In Balderson's confes- gion, which lie afterward denied, he tells of the horrible crime as follc ‘Sunday afternoon, January 21, 1894, Kidd came over to the home of Al Balderson, where 1 was stopping, and together we went to th sdale house. We had not decided on the manner of getting rid of the old man until we hed the house, and then Kidd told me to hit the old man first, and he would finish him, at the same time handing me a hatchet. When we entered the house Goodale w ing at the table eating his gupver. He said: ‘Hello, boys,' and made an effort to get up, when I struck him on the head with the hatchet and he fell, Kidd then cut his throat with a pocket knife. 1 (hen stepped out of the house while Kidd rifled the old man's pockets. He got about $100 in money out of an old leather pocket book, but did not give me any of it.
