SUPREME COURT WILL RULE ON THE POINT Writ of Certiorari Granted in Davis-Haverata Controversy Which Will End One Phase of the Dispute, the The contest over the office of treasurer of the Independent school district of Coun- cil Bluffs {8 Bow up to the supreme court, or at least so much of it as has to do with the jurisdiction of the superior court of this city in the que warranto proceedings instituted by George S, Davis against W. B. Haverstock. Should the supreme court hold that the superior court is mot the proper tribunal to determine the contro- versy it will bring the contest to a close and Haverstock will remain in peaceable possession of the office. Judge Given of the supremo court, on the application of Haverstock, has issued a writ of certiorar! ordering that the pro- ceedings so far held in the superior court be transcripted up to the supreme court for a hearing and determination as to the jurisdiction of the superfor court. The writ is returnable at the October term of the supreme court and acts as a stay on all proceedings in the court here until the supreme court shall hand down its ruling When George S. Davis, former school treasurer, who claims to have been duly elected to the office agaln, brought the quo warranto proceedings in the superior court against W. E. Haverstock, the republican candidate to whom the Board of Educ tion had issued a certificate of election, the latter demurred on the grounds that the superior court is not the proper tribunal to try and determine the comtroversy. It was asserted on behalf of Haverstock that the dispute over the election should be de- termined in the same manner as other olection contests, namely, that Davis with- in twenty days after the election should bave filed with the county auditor a notice of his intention to contest, and that then the chairman of the Board of Couaty Su- pervisors should have set a day for the hearing, the trial board to consist of the chairman of the Board of Supervisors and two Jjudges selected by the contestants. This, it is asserted by Haverstock, should have been the proper procedure on the part of Davis, and that he having fafled to take advantage of it within the time prescribed he is now without redress. Judge Aylesworth of the superfor court overrueld the demurrer and held that his court is a proper tribunal to determine the controversy. Wants & Mounted Policeman. Alderman Boyer, chairman of the com- mittee on police and health, is in favor of having a mounted officer added to the police force. With the present number of men on the foree it is found impossible to afford proper police protection in the outiying portions of the city. This protection Al- derman Boyer believes could be partially afforded by a mounted officer, who would be added to the night detail and who could cover a large portion of the outlying terri- tory: srn:-a the opening of the dancing resort in the southwestern part of the city known as Meadow Lawn fights have been of almost nightly ocurrence, which the police have been called upon to quell. By the time the officers would drive to the sceme the par- ticipants would have dispersed and con siderable trouble has been experienced in consequence in making arrests. Another tnstance of the meed of a mounted officer, Alderman Boyer claims, has been furnished by the recent frequent fights in the saloen at the corner of Twenty-first street and Broadway. On one occasion the officers succeeded in reaching the place before the fighters had managed to get away, but on several other occasions when called to the saloon they were unable to reach there in time to mak any arrests. A mounted officer, it is claimed by Alder- man Boyer, could cover quite an extensive territory and visit these places where fights so frequently occur at any time in the night. The fact that an officer might drop in at these places at any minu would, it is belleved, keep away many of the toughs who now make it & business of creating trouble there. Alderman Boyer expects to bring the matter up at the meet- ing of the council tomorrow uight. Chief Albro is talking about securing & couple of bloodhounds for his department since the holdup on the Manawa motor. He believes they would be a most useful ad- junct to the force and that with the hounds and Detective Wolr, mounted on his bleycle, thieves, burglars and highway- men would have a poor chance of escaping trom being caught. Denth of Captain Murphy. Qispatch from Washington an nouncing the death of Captain Willlam Murphy of this city in the Philippines came yesterday as a great shock to his many friends in this city and great sym- pathy is felt for his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Louls F. Murphy. The first telegram received by Mr. Mur- phy yesterday morning from the War de- partment at Washington stated that Cap- tain Murphy had been seriously wounded, but 4id not state that he was dead. Cap- taln Murphy was appointed to West Point from this eity and at the outbreak of the war, before he had graduated, was given & commission as lieutenant in the Twenty- fourth infantry. He was promoted for gallant conduet at the battle of Santiago He returned home from Cuba and was transferred to the Thirty-ninth regiment and promoted to captain After his return from Cuba Captain Mur- phy married Miss Pauline Lowe, daughter of the late General W. W. Lowe of Omaha. Since his departure for the Phillppines a baby daughter was born to him. Mrs Marphy and her baby are making thelr home with Mrs. Lowe in Kountze Place in Omaha. The Visit Made in Vime. W. W. Jones, & stranger, was arrested yesterday aternoon charged with having in bis possession a team of mares which were stolen from the premises of Sam Nordquist in Ashiand, Neb., a little over & year ago. Jones was leading the team with a halter through the streets of this city yestorday when a brother of Nordquist recognized the animals. He at once notified the police and Detective Weir gave chase on his bicycle after the supposed horsethief. He overtook Jones and the horses at the east end of the motor bridge. Jones sald he was on his way to Omaha, where he expected to seil the mares. He claimed to have traded for them with & man in Pacific Junction. Jones, who says he is a horsetrader by profession, {0ld the police his home was in Abilene, Kan. He was locked up and the horses taken cbarge of pending the arrival of Nordquist from Ashland, who was notified by telegraph. lishirg house and by mere chance happened to be in Council Bluffa yesterday Nordquist arriyed from Ashiand last night and {dentified the sorrel mare as his property, but disclaimed ownership of the other anim He sald he believed his team was stolen by J. A. Gregory, the notorious horsethief, who was sent to the penitentiary a few months ago for twenty years. Gregory was operating in the nelghborhood of Ashland at the time and stole a team of mules there. Jones was held in jail last might and the police will fnvestigate hls story of having obtalned possession of the horses through a trade at Pacific Junction, IN THE BATTLE OF TIEN TSIV, W. 8. Chapman of the Marines Writes His Sister an Account. Miss F. E. Chapman of 1118 South Sixth street has the following letter from her brother, W. 8. Chapman, who was with the United States marine corps at the battle of Tien Tsin and was wounded during the en- gagement: TIEN TSIN, Chima, July 20, 1000—Dear Sister: T suppose you will open your eyes when you receive this and find me about 3,000 miles farther away from home. T told you in the last letter I wrote you aboiut {he war that was prevafting in China and did not expect to go, but the order came like a thunderbolt and all but seventy murines left the navy yard at Cavite. There has been a heavy lose of life on both sides finco the beginning of the trouble, but fust how many have been lost on the ailied forces 1 cannot say, but no doubt 1t js great. There have been ten marines killed and about twenty wounded since the be- xlnnlnfl, I will try to relate all the things of im- portance that have occurred and all 1 have ®een since we left Cavite. Wa left the navy yard June 26 and embarked aboard the "l‘l‘)flkl\'rj. which left Manila that same evening. Wa arrived at Hong Kong the 23rd and 1aid there until the 30th, when we again put to sex. Nothing eventful marked the trip from Hong Kong to Nagasakl, ex- cept it rained all the way and was vory foggy, and for that reason we could not Dake any very good time Ve arrived at ! July 4 and spent the day cos shin left July 5. i ikl We arrived in the harbor of Che Foo after two more days of misery in the fog and rain and 1 can tell you the sun was welcome sight when we got there. Did not stay very long, only long enough to find out about the Oregon, which was reported lost on a rock, but the rumor was without foundation ' and the ship was safe, so wo ahored off agwin. We were now headed for a place called Taku. That place Is situated at the mouth of the Pel Ho river and the entrance to the river and all the bay surrounding is commanded by fine forts which I think {amnot be excelled in any part of the workl 1 saw moro warships al Taki than T aver saw before. 1 mean of all nations com- bined. " There were about elghty all told, July 9 was the day set for the landing of the troops, which by the way consistéd on our side of the Ninth infantry. Wo had conaiderable trouble i getting up the river, which f# very narrow and shai- low and full of bends and it took us nearly fourteen houra to travel fifty-one miles, 8o you can imagine about how fast we were going, and finally arrived at Tien Tsin at 12 & m. July 12 and were quartered In the custom house. “About 3 a. m. on the morn- Ing of the 13th all hands were ordered on the march to make an atttack on a portion of the city called the walled city. There were six companies of the Ninth infantry, five companies of marines with one com- pany as artlllery, to which I belonged, and several companies of English troops, which, taken all together, 'made a formidable force. The march was long und tiresome and we had many ditches to cross which made it hard for the men who handled the guns, T mean the fleld-nieces. Every one was equipped with haversack, canteen, rifle and 180 rounds of ammunition, and that in itself was quite a load. About sunrise the English forces opened fire on the city with a heavy return by the Chinamen. We could see the firing from where we were very plainly, but what the effect was we could “not ascertain. We were going as fast as wa could 8o that we could get into line and do some work, but T can tell you every one was near played out before we got half way, but not a man faltered. As we neared the wall, or gate rather. where the most of the forces were centered we encountered a heavy rifle fire, but that didn’t phaze us. We kept on going and the bullets’ were hitting the ground ail around us. t before we got to where we were e {n line there was a swamp to crosa and I thought our guns would sink out of sight in the mud and water, which was wp to onr knees. We finally ot our euns into position and commenced firing. Directly a large explosion was seen | and heard which we found later was tho magasine and the Americans are given the |credit for that. We fired about twenty | shots from each gun from that place and 'than the battery was taken Inside of a large mud wail where we effectually shelled the city and I can truly say I don’t think there were ten shots in all the 300 which were fired from the three guns but what took effect. We ran out of ammunition for our fleld guns about 10 a. m. and of course we had to haul off from action under as Rheavy rifie fire as I think any one was ever m. There were snipers or Chinese sharp- shooters all over the place and every time any one stuck his head out he was gone. Talk about the Fillpinos, T would rather go up against five militon of them than one thousand Chinese. About 12 o’clock noon we were sent to reinforce the firing line and here we met another heavy rifie fire. When we were almost to the line I was hit by a spent ball in the cheek, but it did not |do any damage any more than to make hole in my cheek, knock one tooth out, loosen several and tore the upper part of my gum. " But please don't worry over f, As it I8 nothing serious. Of course It does not feel very pleasant, as I haven't eaten anything sofid for eight or nine days, and it bothers me a great deal in that way. Now this fs for all the folks at home, as I don’t think I will have time to write any more letters at present. Your brother. W. 8. CHAPMAN. Asks for Diverce. Mrs. Cora Hooten commenced suit for di- vorce in the district court yesterday agaimst Richard Hooten, to whom she was married in this eity on December 8, 1394.

DES MOINES, Aug. 15.—(Special Tele- gram.)—In the absence of George Huff- man and C. C. Loomis and their adherents, who are at the state convention, the Me- Henry-King faction of the Polk county democracy stepped in and controlled the congressional convention, which was held in Des Moines today. The convention met in the auditorfum in the afternoon and named George W. Crosler of Knoxville as candidate for congress against Captain Hull. It was not a very enthusiastic con- vention, although enarly every county was well represented. The only excitement was the fight that occurred in the Polk county delegation. The convention endorsed the Kansas City platform. The rainfall last night was the heaviest that has visited this section since the drouth was broken. From 7 p. m. Tuesday to 8 a. m. today 2.76 inches of rain fell There were no storms of any severity in any part of the state and the only other place where there was a heavier rainfall was Osceola, where it rained 3.04 inches The rain was general all over the state, but comparatively light at other places. This section of the state seems to have received more rain lately than any other. Since last Saturday evening 5.53 inches have fallen in Des Moines, while only one or two other places in the state have re- ported anywhere near that amount. The crops are all in good condition and any more rain at this time might be harmful A writ of injunction was issued from the federal court today restraining the Mar- shalltown city council from publishing or enforcing an ordinance recently passed lowering the price of electric light and power in that city. The injunction was granted yesterday by Judge Munger at Omaha, before whom the bill of complaint was taken In the absence of Judge Me- Pherson. The case is set for hearing in Des Molnes at a speclal term of court on Monday, September 3, and promises to de- velop into a merry war between Mar- shalltown capital and the council. Hon. Sidney A. Foster of Des Molnes is going to make the opening speech of the republican campalgn at Indianola on Fri- day, August 31. The occasion is going to be a great meeting of Warren county re- publicans, at which numerous McKinley and Roosevelt clubs will be organized. The meeting has been planned by Chairman Proudfoot of the county committee and has met with the sanction of the state central committee and Foster has consented to make the address on the occasion. The Ottumwa encampment opened today. Gov- ernor Shaw will attend the review next Tuesday.

Henry Harlow and George Znow of Onawa were prostrated by a bolt of light- ning and a Winnebago squaw was struck and instantly killed.

Secrctary Overton of the local Young Men's Christian oclation said yesterday tkat the organization is considering the purchase of a good location om which to erect & handsome Young Men's Christian association headquarters in the city. Plans under contemplation, according to the sec- retary and other Influential workers, are for the erection of a four-story bullding, with the ground and first floors to be reated as offices and store rooms, and the third and fourth floors 1o be used as Young Men' Clristian association reoms. However, no site has as yet been decided upon, owing to the high prices asked by property owners in the central part of the city, The Young Men's Christian association rooms are entirely too small for the ac- commodation of all its members. The lease on the rooms now occupled is about to ex- pire and the directors have decided that if at all possible to bulld they will only ex- tend their lease a very short time and proceed to secure the necessary money for the erection of their own buildin, According to the figures of the secretary a bullding such as will be sufficiently large can be built for less than $15,000. Then the price of the lot being less than $10,000 will place the top figure at $25,000.

New members are being enrolled and the rooms that we are now occupying are entirely too small. We have only three bath rooms, and on Saturdays these are taxed to over- flowing. Besides this, we believe a new buillding can and should be built by us Fremont has a magnificent structure of thelr own. We belleve that the business men of South Omaha would contribute sut- ficiently for us to have our own headquar- ters. When the Chicago Young Men's Christian assoclation headquarters were built Armour and Swift each contributed $20,000 to the fund, and as they have prac- tically the same interests here will do the same with us.” It seems the-general Impression that a building such as they propose erecting would be a paying venture In the city.
