Yesterday the squatters on the bottom of what was once known as Honey Creek lake filed with the Hoard of Suvervisors docu- ments signifying their intention of pre-empt- ing the land that used to lie at the bottom of the lake and turn it into farms. The fact that the recent rains have covered up their rude shanties, leaving their places marked only by monuments in the shape of chimneys, seems not to have affected their determina- tion to hegin the farming business, and they are hoping for the sun to evaporate the lake once more, The social circles of that part of the clty Iying around the Driving park cel-brated last evening by giving a dance at the corner of Thirteenth street and Avenue H, to which the jockeys and other habitues of the race track were especlally invited. During the evening the fun waxed fierce and furious, and several yards of a neighboring fence were broken down In the mad endeavor to tread on the tails of one amther's coats. Several officers were sent down to quell the disturbance, the owner of the fence making & complaint at police headquarters.

A colored man named Willlam Stewart s under arrest on the charge of cheating by false pretenses, his alleged victim being Steve Lewls, an ordinary tramp, who was trying to make his way along the Northwestern rail- way by the box car route. Stewart, he claims, sold him for $1 what purported to be a pass which would take him anywhere in the world. Stewart to Lewls' vision appeared to be just the sort of man that a railroad would entrust with the distribution of passes and ylelded up §1. He tried the pass on a con- ductor, who gave him the merry “ha ha" and threw him off the train. Justice Cook will Investigate the case today. Farm loans made in western Iowa at low- est rates.

It was claimed that Willach had | been threatening his wife with an uplifted axe, and that the furniture was in danger too, but by the time the family pot had got nto court it had ceised bolling. Those who were 0 anxious to have Willach put in irons, and who had routed up the justice in the middle of the night and sent the officers seurrying out in the dark to prevent murder, were as calm as a sunset, and about as silent. The testimony which was wormed out of the witne did not amount to enough to find Willach guilty of anything, and he was accordingly set at liberty. Read Davis' ad. Davis sells bammicks eheap.

The advertise- ments have been a little misleading, but those there will be no troutle expe:fencel and there wiil be nothing to detract from the successtul holding here of the annual reunion of the Latter Day Salnts, who open their meeting at the Driviog park September 12. Rev. T. W. Williams says that the church folk sccured a lease of the grounds before ever the races were thought of. Those who are conducting the races have only a fen days' lease, and as it commenced August 31 itwill expire before the Latter Day Saints wish the | grounds. The motor compiny and Driving park officials have glven assurance that the lease to the church folk will be lived up to and that they will do all in their power to make their meeting successful and enjoy- able. The gathering will be an important as there will be prominent workers and preachiers from different states, znd those who have In years gone by taken a peep at the gatherings of this church at Parks Mil's need no further assurance that there will be here one of the biggest erowds ever gathered in this city on any religlous ccoasion. Hundreds of people will camp on the grounds, and mafiy others will patronize pub- lic and private boarding houses. For s me made to induce this church orginization to fix upon Counc'l Bluffs as a permanent place | for holding its annual reunions. There has some opposition expressel for rea‘ons which naturally lie against all cities in the minds of those who fancy that morals are monopolized by the country, but this opposi tion haz been so far overeome as to secire the reunion for this year,-on the assurance that Council Bluffs wou'd by its court and hospitality prove that this was ju:t t'e kind of place for permanent headguarters. The city couticil has officlal'y set the paca by extend'ng a formal welcome to thise vis- fiors, and the citizens at large will see to it that there 1s nothing to mir and much to add 1o the pleasures of their gathering.

Harry West, the stepfither of young Bil- lick, who committed suicide Wednosday n'ght, says he does not belleve that the young man intended to kill himself, but that he expectel only to frighten his folks. He had made this sort of bluff two or three t mes bafor>. Last June he took a small dose of strychnine, enough to make him sick, and afterwards ad- mitted that it was only for a tcare. This time he got too much of a dose. West was away all of Wednesday, and on returning at night his stepson told him that during the day he had some trouble with his sister, Mrs, Willard James, and he secmed quite excited about it, but did not make any threats of Killing himself. About a week before he had shown his stepfather a little bottle of strych- nine and told him that it was ieft from the dose he took In June last. West told him to throw it away, and ho promised to do so, re- marking at the time that he had leirned a lesson and would never be foolish enough aga'n to take any poison. Coroner Jennings, after looking the case over, decided yesterday morning that an quest was not necessary, as he was unable to find any one who thought it anything but a plain case of suicide. - During the evening, however, his attention was called to the fact that Mrs. James McCabe, who was well ac- quainted with the family’s history, was firm in the bellef that the case was not so trans- parent as it looked, and he decided to take another day before deciding positively to forego the holding of an inquest.

Amsden and the school board of Macedonia s evidently for a finish, although thus far Amsden has been getting the worst of it. The board hired Amsden as teacher last spring, but later decided they did not want him, justifying their revocation of the appointment by sundry charges, mainly to the effect that he had too little energy in the performance of school . duties and too great energy in the enjoyment of pleasures barred out by theé code of morals. The acts complained of dated back several years, and the raking up of the anclent history was not very satisfactory to either side of the con- troversy, belng difficult to prove or refute. Amsden took an appeal to County Superintend- ent Burton, and that official, after devoting a day or more to the wranglings of at- torneys on both sides, has dismissed the ap- peal. Amsden’s recourse now is to present his grievance to the state superintendent. It is expected that he will also commence an action in the district court to compel the school board to pay him the $700 salary for the year, whether he teaches or not. There is a good deal of bitterncss on both sides, and the case i arousing much discussion in the eastern part of the county.

He was picked up un- conscious and carried in a wagon to the Women's Christian association hospital, nine miles distant, in this city. By the time he arrived he had recovered consciousness and was suffering terrible agony. He was put under the influence of drugs and his fin- juriss were patched up as well as possible. At a late hour last eveniag the injured young man till unconscious and had been able to give no account of how it happened.
