Lawhead against United States Marsbal G. M. Christian has been transferred from the district court of Ring gold county to the United States court and will be tried at the March term here. The sultresults from the fallure of Adalaska O. Ingram of Mount Ayr, which caused much talk at the time the case was taken into the bankruptcy court. Marshal Christian levied under the bankruptey proceedings on the stock of goods owned by Iogram at Shannon Clty, Ia. The stock was valued at $5,000 and Lawhead now brings sult alleging that the stock had been sold to him by Ingram sub- sequent to the bankruptcy proceedings. Deputy United States Marshal A, E.

The total value of his assets is placed at $70, all of which are claimed as exempt. Mass's petition makes 396 bankruptey case filed in the United States district court of this division Willlam H. Taylor filed a petition in the district court yesterday asking that Frank 8. Pusey, administrator of W. H. M. Pusey | of the banking firm of Officer & Pusey, be required to file an inventory of his father's estate forthwith.

She alleges that he has sold the cattle but has failed to pay her back any of the money. She brings sult because she fears he is about to dispose of his property and leave her in the lurch. ren Shun School. The failure of the Board of Education to take any steps to disinfect the North Eighth street school, of which m!u Wil liana White, one of the Van Horn house- hold under quarantine for smallpox in the Merriam block, is principal, was criticized yesterday by many of the parents whose children attend that school. When school opened roll call showed that elghty-three puplls were absent, and in one room there was barely a corporal's guard. One father sent his two children to school with & note addressed to their teacher, in which he wrote: "I send my two children to school, but it they should catch small- pox I will hold the members of the school board eriminally responsible.’” Mayor Jennings and other city officials were of the opinfon that it would have been wiser on the part of the board to close the school for the rest of the week and thoroughly fumigate the building. The trustees yesterday ordered the pub- lic library, in the Merrlam block, closed until Monday morning. In the meantime it will be thoroughly fumigated and disin- tected. Asa D. Van Horn was removed from his apartments in the Merriam block yesterday | morning to the city pesthouse. Van Horn makes the Afth smallpox patient now there. The others are Joe Fergusen, John Rein- holdt and E. W. Willlams, all from the Atlantic house, and Attorhey Hermaa Schurz. Chief of Police Albro and the city physi- clan were unable to secure a house, yester- day to which Van Horn household could |be’ removed. They engaged a house on Fourth avenue near Twentieth street from a rental agent and had about arranged to remove the family there when the tenaut of an adjoining house objected and threat- ened an injunction from the courts. They will go house hunting again this morning. All day yesterday the work of fumigat- ing and disinfecting the Merriam block carried on under the supervision of an experienced man. None of the tenants have left the building. Burlington Chief Beneficiary, City Engineer Etnyre has about completed the schedule showing the property owners on South Main street entitled to the money paid in by the motor company for the pav- ing. The Burlington railroad will be the chief beneficiary, as its proportion will amount to in the neighborhood of $1,200. ‘The city will recelve about $500 for the pav- ing at the intersections and the Milwaukeo rallroad will get about $665. Individial property owners will receive amounts rang- lng from $45 to $62 each. The city engineer was unable to have the schedule in time for the meeting of the elty council Monday night owing to a delay in securing the certified absiract showing the present owners of the several lot County The only business transacted hy Board of County Supervisors yesterday was the buying of a road grader at a cost of $275, following which an adjournment wgs taken to 2 this afterncon. At the session this afternoon Attorney E. E. Sluss of In- diana, represcnting ‘Tax Ferret" Cun o7, | plogham, will appear before the board and submit another proposition, the nature of whichh has not been disclosed On adjourning Auld and Hansen trans tormed themselves into expert accountants and began checking up the accounts and books in the county auditor's office, while Kerney and Brandes did the same in the office of the clerk of the district court Israel Lovett has submitted a proposition to the board to rewire all the electric lights in the county court house for $216 and those in the county jail for $46 At the former session of the board City Electrician Bradley notified it that the wiring was faulty and would have to be remedied. No action has been taken on Lovett's proposi- tion. SETTLE IT IN THE RING Council Blufls School Boys Engage in Lively Pugilistic En- counter. Two members of the Council Bluffs High school resorted to the pugllistic method in real carnest Tuesday afternoon to settle a little difficuty that had arisen between them during the day. = A four-round contest rl Warner, with all thé accessories of referec, seconds, bottle-holders and an en- thusiastic audience, was the result 1t is said that some words had passed between the boys during the day, but that Warner declined to fight on the school grounds. It was agreed that the matter should be settled after school and the Owl | club, rooms in the Brown bullding, on Pearl street, in the Bluffs, was made the ren- | dezvous. This is an athletic club with a | large membership, but it is asserted that | the officors of the club knew nothing of the mill until it was all over. The arrangements for the affaire d'honor were made as quictly as possible, but a | selected company of the friends of both parties gathered for the fray. Some dis- cussion arose over the details of the fight, but it is stated that gloves were used Clever work was exhibited by both men during the four rounds. The victory 18 claimed by Warner, as his friends assert that Mitchell was knocked entirely out in | the fourth round by a blow in the stomach teceived from Warner's head. The two contestants rushed together at this polnt, Warner ducked and his head collided with | Mitchell's body, landing Lim on the floor. After the fight Mitchell, who is sald to have fared the worst, had a dark-colored spot under one eye, but to all appearancss was otherwise uninjured. When questioned Superintendent Clifford of the Bluffs schools sald that he had taken no action in the matter, as he considered it outside of school jurisdiction, though he sald he would investigate.

Guard B ments. There will be brigade encampments of the Towa National guard held in Clinton and Council Bluffs this year it the plans of the adjutant general are carried out, but there will be no regimental encampmients as in other years, The plan of having four encampments is found to be too expensive The Fifty-first and Fifty-second regiments will hold an encampment some time in Au- gust at Council Bluffs or some other favor- able point in the western part of the state and the other two companies will go to the extreme castern part of the state. The ad- jutant general has practically offered the vacancy in the Fifty-first regiment to the town of Stuart, since the failure of the Atlantlc people to form a company. To vleld to insubordination in the matter of forming a company would be as bad as to give up to mutiny after the company is formed and the adjutant general will invits Stuart to take the place which was offered to Atlantic.

City Clerk Nate Phillips was selected as tem- | porary chairmau and Justice of the Peace | J. W. Ferrler as temporary secretary. The | temporary organization was made perma- nent and the convention at once got down to the business in hand. ) Assistant County Attorney Clem Kimball | moved that the candidates be placed In | nomination by rollcall of the precincts, that | the first ballot be an informal one and that | the three candidates receiving a majority of the votes cast be declared the nominees of the convention. This plan did not altogether suit H. J Chambers of the Fourth ward and he moved | as an amendment that the nominations be | made by the individual votes of the dele- gates present George H. Scott offered a substitute to the effect that the candidates be nominated one at a time. This latter | plan was considered too tedious and after some discussion Kimball's original motion prevailed. Various Candidates Suggested. On the Informal ballot the first precinct | of the First ward named T. J. Shugart, 5. F. Shuart, A. C. Keller and W. 8. Cooper. The call of the Second precinct of the First ward brought out the name of George Gor- man. The First precinct of the Second ward named Ohio Knox. The name of F. 0, Gleason was brought out by the first precinct of the Second ward, as was that of J. M. Oursler. The latter asked the privilege of having his name withdrawn, as he sald he was not In a position to be a candidate at this time. Spencer Smith also asked the same previlege, stating he was not a candidate in any sense of the word. The rest of the rollcall falled to bring out any new names and the informal ballot re- sulted as follows: Shugart, 72; Shuart, 49; Keller, 7; Cooper, 63; Gorman, 27; Knox, 10; Gleason, 6; Oursler, 3; Smith, 4. H. J. Chambers moved to suspend the rules and have the informal ballot declared a formal one and that Shugart, Shuart and Cooper be the nominees ot the convention On being put to vote it was not unanimous and the chair declared the motion lost, The convention then started on the formal ballot. It resulted as follows: Shu- gart, 83; Cooper, 81; Shuart, 66; Gorman, 19; Knox, 1; Henry, 1. Shugart, Shuart and Cooper were then declared the nominees of the convention and a motion to adjourn promptly carried The Nominees. Thomas J.

The board made a special tax levy of 3 mills against the property in Oska- loosa township, whern the smallpox origi- nated, to raise the money with which to pay the quarantine, hospital, etc. The court | decides this to be fllegal and that the levy should have been op the entire property of the county; that oye township cannot be held solely accountable for a smallpox epidemic which firit made its appearance there, and the tax levy will have to be made over again. Funeral of Towa Colonel. The funeral of Colonel Henry G. Egbert occurred at Davenport today and a number of veterans of the Second lowa cavalry went from this part of the state to pay their respects (o the deceased.
