Owing to the great size of the auditorium ot the Broadway Methodist Episco- pal church it has been very hard to heat it comfortably during the severe cold weather and the regular services today and each Sabbath until it becomes warmer will be held in the Sunday school room.

Frank Kline, who stole Landlord Duwe's coat and vest at the Revere house, and sev- eral other articles of clothig at various places, was given a hearing in police court yesterday morning. The two main facts brought out were that he was gullty as charged, and that he was a consclenceless, though not an acomplished liar.

WS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS Award of Damages to Property Owners Algng Union Avenue, ONE DOLLAR ALLCWED FOR EACH LOT Non-Resident Owners Will Require Eight Weeks Notice Before the Award Can Be Completed—-Grading Wil Com- mence Tuesday Morning. After twelve days of work at $12 a day the jurors made a report to the sheriff yes- terday of the amount of damages to be pald by the Omaha Br.dge and Terminal Railway company for the alleged mjury to property done by the raflway line which it is proposed to lay along Union avenue, As was easily imagined beforehand, the damages were not very extensive, The sum of $1 aplece was awarded to Joseph Schlitz, K. N. Slyter, Mary McKendry, R. J. Cory, L. Merkle, A. W. Boekhoff, C. D. Palmer (2 lots), R. Me- Kenzle, F. J. Day, B. E. Schurz, G. A. Shellhorn, W. W. Cones, James and O. P. Wickham (3 lots), Agnes Folsom (3 lots), C. T. Officer, J. C. Bayley, E. B, Hart and Ad- dison Cochran. A like amount, plus the cost of the grading already done, was awarded to F. A. Sackett and T. J. Carrothers, the former's bl being §: and the latter's $24.79. The above list includes all the resi- dent property owners. A notice of elght weeks had to given nonresidents, and when the time shall have elapsed the jury will get together again and finish the job. The nonresident property owners, it is thought, will require about the same length of time. The jury spent a great deal of time listen- Ing to property owners who were afraid tbe carth would not be. theirs when the time came for final reckoning. One man, who owns a_house just west of the electric light power house, thought his place was worth $4,000, and the damage to his property from the railway track would be at least half_that amount. A glance at the records showed the jury that his property was assessed at $200. Another man had a lot at the bottom of a deep hole and thought it was worth $1,000, but the assessor’s books showed that he had been paying taxes on it at the valuation of $115. These were but specimens of the grabbers that presented themselves, but the jury was too convenient to the county records to be taken in for any great length of time. There will no doubt be a great deal of dis- satisfaction with the decision of the jury, but whether the owners of the property affected care enough about it to appeal to the district court, as they have the right to do, remains to be seen, To much of the property there is no doubt that the plan of the Terminal company, if carrled out, will be a positive benefit. The street will' be brought to grade, and this will require in some cases a fill of six feet, and through the entire length of the street so great a flll that the city could never order it done without confiscating the abutting property. Superintendent Harris of the Terminal company will be here Monday, and the city engineer will set stakes, so that the work of grading may be begun Tuesday morning. Only Council Bluffs laborers are to be em- ployed. Twenty cents a yard will be paid the haulers, and tickets will be issued in payment, which are to be cashed Saturday night. BENNISON BROS.

Numerous Plac*s Visited but No Great Amount Obtained, The gang of burglars that infested Council Bluffs @ short timo ago has returned from 'a two weeks’ vacation greatly refreshed, and is buckling down to work with renewed zeal. At an early hour yesterday morning an attempt was made to enter the house of Dr. C. Deetken on Washington avenue, near the corner of Scott street. The end of a fle was used in the effort to raise two of the windows, but they were fastened down s0 securely that the fellow was unable to get in. He crossed the yard, leaped the fence, and tried the residence of Mrs. W. H. Cop- son, where he was more successful. Mrs, Copson heard a suspicious sound, but was too frightened even to scream. Frank Shaf- fer, a young liveryman who has a room at the Copsom mansion, heard the fellow moy- ing about his room and got up and spoke to him. But his visitor did not care to strike up an acquaintance, and grabbing Shaffer's trousers, which lay on the mantel con- veniently, he made a break out of the house, with Shaffer after him, armed with a chair, In his ftight he dropped the trousers on a snowdrift, but not until he had robbed the pockets of $26 in cash which they contained. In his haste he overlooked two silver quar- ters in one of the pockets. A small auto- graph album was also found lying in the snow, the burglar having picked it up, ap- parently tbinking it was a pocketbook. The residence of H. 8. Jones, 216 Frank strest, was also entered. An open window, discovered in the morning, was the first Inkling that anything was wrong, and it was followed up by the finding of a pocket- book on the front porch, from which $10 in money had been abstracted, and the papers it contalned had been cast to the four wind A couple of dollars in loose change was over- looked, and it Is supposed that the fellow was frightened off before he had finished the Job. Dean Fenner, who resides at 744 Mill street, was awakened by a nolse, and found a burglar in his closet ransacking his trousers. The burglar found him about the same time, and it was a matter of consider- able uncertainty which was the worst fright- ened. Fenner declares that as the burglar went down stairs his foot steps sounded like the *r—r—r—r—r—r—" of the snare drum, and when he struck the floor it was like the answering ‘‘rum-bum” of the bass drum j before the band begins to play. The burglar dropped the trousers and shot into the street with no more booty than a 20-cent cap pistol which he picked up from a chalr. Mr., Fen- ner's yells for help aroused Deputy United States Marshal C. H. Bradley, his next door nelghbor, who vallantly shot a revolver off in the alr once or twice and then went back to bed. On looking around tracks were found which indicated that the pants spe- clalist had tried to enter Bradley's house and that of John L. Smith two doors away, but in each case he had been Galked by the unwillingness of the windows to yleld to the entreaty of a rat-tall file, The man who did” the work is described as a good-sized one, Mrs. Copson estimating him at about the e of a large elephant. He wore an ulster really all that is known about his looks, so that there is very little danger of anything happening to him of an unpleasant nature.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb.’ 9.—The buggy in which Kate Ging took hér fatal ride, the lap robe deeply stajned with her lite blood, was displayedi in the court room at the Hayward trial this morning. A curlous | crowd trled to get nearer to the gruesbme souvenir of the tragedy, and it was with the greatest diffi- culty that deputlessucgeeded in protecting the precincts sacred_to the press and bar. Emil - Ferrant, who occupies rooms in the Ozark, flats, was the first witness. His testi- mony was descriptive, of ‘the Getllfrences in the flats aftér the news of Miss Ging’s violent deathhad been recelved and. of Harry Hay- ward's: behavior at the: time, During Ferrant's testimony there was a significant _colloquy between counsel. . County Attorney Nye said that he had expected to put Adry Hayward, the confessing brother, on the stand tofay, but that Adry was not present as yet. Mr. Erwin said that he should object to Adry testifying today, as he wanted to have Insanity experts present when the brother gave his testimony. This state- ment is belleved to indicate not only a pur- Pose on the part of the defense to claim that Adry has hereditary Insanity, but also pos- sibly a purpose in part of Adry to give his testimony in such a manner as shall lead to that conclusion. In this way he can tell his story as he has aiready told it to the state, and yet give his brother a chance to es- cape the gallows. Ex-Mayor Willam H. Bustis was then called to the stand and testified to having obtained from Harry Hayward, while the latter under police surveillance, some letters, telegrams, and a statement from Miss Ging to Harry's relative as to some business relations between the two. Mr. Erwin at once asked that he might cross- examine the witness to ascertain whether these papers were obtalned wnder duress, and in spite of ‘the state’s objection was permitted to do so by the court, Mr. Bustis sald that with the police offi- clals he had subjected Hayward to an ex- amination lasting some fourteen hours. Then Harry was released, but the police kept track of his whereabouts. The next morning after his arrest Harry had come into the mayor’s office voluntarily and talked over the crime. He told of Miss Ging's gambling propensities and said he had some letters and telegrams showing it. The mayor drove with him to his apartments, where Harry voluntarlly handed over the documents. These were then offered in evidence. The telegrams were those passing between Harry and Miss Ging when the former was gam- bling in Chicago with her money. The first two announced winnings of $300 and $800, and the third said: “We have lost .al The statement read: “Thls 1s to certify that I have given Harry T. Hayward $375 to gamble with, win or ‘lose. Kate Ging.' Then the mayor sald he went after Adry Hayward and drove to the trust company, where out of Adry’s box were secured the notes Miss Ging had signed. Harry did not want to give them up, but the mayor in- sisted, and finally took them away with him. The party next went to the Haywards’ office. to secure the life insurance policies and other documents, While at the Ozark, Hay- ward bad showed the gfficrs his revolver and pointed out that it was loaded all around and was very clean, Conrt then adjourned until Monda 283 el INSISTS ON\#lI§ CHARGES, to Answer Filed to Mayer Hopkins' Sult for Damages.

CRESTON, Ta., Feb. 9.—(Special Tele- gram.)—The republicans of Union county are bound to make a candidate for governor of J. B. Harsh, His first determination was not to be a candidate under any circum- stances, and he will not enter into a per- sonal contest for the place, therefore his friends have taken the matter in hand. A strong club was organized here this after- noon called the Harsh Union County Repub lican club, The officers are: Hon. W. W. Morrow of Afton, president; Dr. S. H. King- erey, Creston, secretary, and Hon. C. H. Thomas, treasurer; exccutive committee, Dr. B. N. Torrey, ex-Mayor A. B. Keith, Bd A. Aldrich of Creston, Willis St. John of Afton and Dr. B. M.

Thieves Hold Up a Jowolor and Secure Sov- eral Hundred Dollars. RED OAK, Ia, Feb. 9.—(Speclal Tele- gram)—This city was aroused last evening about 7 o'clock by several shots, fired in rapid succession. A crowd immediately col- lected in front of L. H. Tonner's jewelry store, where the proprietor tried to explain to them that he had been robbed. His store is located just off the publc square. He was sitting by the stove reading, when two men came in, One had a mask on his face. The masked man presented a revolver, and de- manded that Tonner throw up his hands. He complied with the request. His revolver was on the safe, within a few fet of his hands, and he made a slight move as if to get it, but was told to keep still or he would have his head blown off, While the masked robber was holding Ton- ner in this position his comrade stepped behind the counter and proceeded to help himself to the extent of about $250. Y The robbery was the wcrk of tramps. They passed several trays of gold watches and took eight or ten silverine watches, some chains and a lot of rings. They backed out of the store and ran down the alley. Tonner ran out and fired his revolver and gave the alarm, Within a few minutes the officers had searched in every direction, but without avall. This afternoon, however, the police received word that one of the rings was found on the depot platform at Shenandoah. Tho robbers must have taken the 8 o'clock frelght train in that direction. The boldness t the robbery Is astounding, from the fact that the streets were filled with people at that time in the evening. Important Iowa Deoclslons. DES MOINES, Ia,, Feb. 9.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Three important decisions were handed down by the supreme court today. One of these decisions establishes a new rule of law In Iowa, that recovery of damages may be had for mental anguish where there is no physical pain or financial loss. Only four or five states in the union have set up this rule, and it s expected by lawyers that it will lead to a great deal of litigation. This case s one against the Western Unon Telegraph company for a case of gross negligence, but juries have been instructed to bring in a verdict for the-defense in simi- lar cases in the state before. The facts are tully set forth in the synopsis of the opinion. Judge Kinne dissented. The second case also opens up a fruitful fleld for litigation and will cause trouble for debtors who have hoped they had outlived their creditors’ persistence, The desision, from which Judge Robinson dissents, extends the life of all judgments in courts of record from twenty to thirty-five years. The hold- ing s that the statute of limitations against sults to revive judgments does not begin to run untll fifteen years after the judgment has been rendered, the time when the law allows such sults to be commenced. This decislon will bave a very far-reaching effect. The other decision is against four saloon keepers, only one of whom appealed. It is under one of tho strong provisions of the prohibitory law that permits recovery of the seller of intoxicating liquor for any damage that may result to the purchaser from the use thereof. In this case a man became intoxicated, was thrown out of a wagon and killed. His wife recovers heavy damages from the men who sold him the liquor, though she had never warned them not to sell him liquor, nor had any other person forbidden them to do so.
