FOWLER, DICK & WALKER, Council Bluffs. Bagged but Little Game. Office Welr undertook to raid a saloon kept by Andy Rowlen on South Main street last evening, on the supposition that it was a place where a quiet poker game might be found. He stationed himself near the door of an upper room, and by climbing on a table looked through a trancon and saw five men, each with a pile of celluloid chips before him, engaged In the great American game He ‘stood there long enough to make surc it was poker, and then tried the door. Quick as a flash the players broke and ran for cover, sceking refuge in an adjoining room They left the cards and chips on the table, and Officer Weir gathered them ip at hi leizure. He then started for the door through which they had made their escape, but found that it was barred securely. He was labor- ing under the apprehension that he had no right to break open the door In order to get the men, and left the place, after taking possession of the cards and chips. Down stairs he found Rowlen, and ordered him to appear In police court this morning, and plead to the charge of keeping a gambling house. He filed no fnformation against the five men who were actually engaged in playing. The probability is that when it comes to a_show down the officer will be unable to prove that the men, were not play- mg the game of “bible quotations,” and Rowlan will be able to explain satisfactorily the presence of the chips, for such has usually been the outcome of prosecutions for poker playing in Council Bluffs. Slaxhed Hin Sweethenrt's Clothos. Mrs. H. B. Sutton, commonly known among her assoclates as Mrs Cummings, appeared in a very much flurried condition at police heardquarters last night and asked that something be done with H. Y. Cum- mings, a man with whom she has sustained relations of great Intimacy for about four years past. She lives at 1523 Avenue J and claims to have had some money at one time, which ehe used in setting him up in the ‘saloon business. Lately he has been employed as a bartender in Omaha. They were engaged to be married, but as Cummings was not able to make enough to pay for a marfage license, they have been just living together anyhow, intending to get married as <00n as he could support her. For some reason or other she decided to change her tactics and leave him. Cummings came over last evening and called on her, with the request that she would consent to a renewal of their old relations, He emphasized his re- quest with a billy, and considerable language of a fervid, impetuous sort. She became frightened and ran out of the house, Cum- mings pulling off several handfuls of hair In trying to restrain her. She ran to a neighbor’s house, and while she was there, Cummings, she says, cut up about $40 worth of her wardrobe with his fack knife. She complained to the police and Cummings will probably be arrested. Barred Out by a Woman. Deputy Sheriff Goodwin returned yesterday morning from Hamburg, where he went to arrest Mrs. Martha White, an insane patient whom the commissicnes had ordered sent to Clarinda. Mrs, Sarah C. Taylor, the sister of the unfortunate woman, had proved too much for the astute deputy sheriff, for in the seven minutes that he was away from her tele- phoning to Sherift Hazen for instructions she hurried her sister away and concealed her so well that she could not be found all evening. Goodwin watched the house all night, and searched all other places where he thought she could possibly be, but no trace was found The point now raised s, what authority the commissioners of insanity have to enforce their mandates. They are not a judiclal body, and no one ever heard of anybody belng in contempt of them. The officers are now engaged in reading up on the law of the land, and if there is such a thing as bringing enough pressure to bear upon Mrs. Taylor she will be compelled to deliver up her sister to be cared for at the expense of the state. $2.50 to Kansas City and return Saturday evening, Aug. 10.

REED, PLANS FOR THE WATER CARNIVAL, Boat Club Makes Progress in Pr rations for the Big Entertainme The big water carnival, upon which the Bost club members are now engaged, will probably be brought off Friday and Satur- day nights of next week, it agreed that an entertainment of the magni- tude contemplated deserved a two night stand. Emmet Tinley and H. Z. Haaz of the committee that has charge ob the arrange- mets, met yesterday afternoon at Mr. Tinley's office and perfected some more of the details The financial part of the scheme is already practically settled, and but little trouble is locked for in other directions. About forty boats will be manned and leave the boat house at 8:30 p. m., making a straight shoot past the Grand Plaza pavilion They will then wind their way in a serpen- tine course across the lake, In front of a fort to be erected in front of Manhattan beach. For about fifteen minutes the fort will be bombarded with fireworks, after which the boats will come back In a northerly direction in a double column, break- ing ranks and circling in opposite directions toward the south. When the two lines meet they iersect one another, each bemt passing between two of the others,” They will line up in front of another fort, on the Plaza side, and bombard it for another quarter of an hour. While the maneuvering is going on there will be an incessant play of fireworks, and it is thought that about a car load will be required. Saturday night the forts will"be burned as a finale to the carnival, The forty boats, It is thought, will make a column about a third of a mile | long.

J. Evans has well nigh swamped the columns of a local morning paper with the details of a scheme he claims to have or- iginated for doing away with Indian creck. It is in short, to cut through a big bluff east of the city, and turn the waters of the creek Into Big Lake. When the sewer system of Council Bluffs was first thought of, figures were made as to the cost of the opera- tion, and it was found that it would cost in the feighborhood of $310,000. Mr. Evans has succeeded in peeling of $280,000 and states that the work can be done for $30,000. Bradley always leads In low price coal. $6.75 per ton for best screened hard coal. Hold your order for hard coal until you see me. 1 will give you the very lowest prico and the best coal. W. H. Bradley. CAMPAIGN, ARRANGING F( & Town Re nx in C ference at Des Moines.

They have found that there has been some cut ing of p ices in spi e of tre organization.

T. Dinkins, agent of the Austin | Machinery company. While standiug on the plattorm of the depot Dinkins was ap- | | proached by Marshal and his two compantons, | H. H. Coleman and 0. P. Fox of Vi ksburg. Marshal walked up to Dinkins and sald: “This is Mr. Dinkins,” and placiog a pistol at Dinkins' stomach, discharged the weapon. Dinkins grabbed the pistol just as it was fired and possibly the Arst shot did not take effect. As Dinkins backed away from Mar- shal there was a fusilade of shots from Mar- shal's companions. It is thought Dinkins fired Marslial’s pistol at the latter, as it was found in his nand when dead. Marshal, Cole- man and Fox, and Marshal's law partner, Mr Valleus, met in the waiting room of the depot A8 soon as the bloody work had been com pleted and aunounced that they were ready to_surrender and the sherift was called for The cause of the killing Is a sensational story told on Marshal by Dinkins. Two weeks ago Dinkins and Markhal oceupied the same room, but different beds, at a room in Ray- mond and next morning Dinkins told of what transpired during the night, stating that Mar- shal was guiity of bestial conduct. This com- Ing to Marshal's ears, he denfed it thro ugh Dinkius, however, repeated th hal was the democratic nomince for float senator for Warren and Hinds coun- ties. The killing is strongly condemned by the people —_— CONTRADICTS the Ohio Democrnts Free Stlver € we.
