For the election of lieutenant colonel to lain duty If we fail to take immediate and ecided action In regard to it; and with this purpose in view 1 wish fo formally call your attention to the matt The original charter for the erection of the Terminal bridge provided tnat it should be for raliroad, motor, wagon and pedes- trian use. The originai plan was not fully carried out, but the bridge has, neverthe. less, been used not only for rallroad traffic, but until a year or 80 ago motors were run across if, and it has at all times been open to wagons, pedestrians, stock and for other similar purposes. "This has afforded competition which has been of decided value. The Terminal bridge has been a great convenfence to officials of the ecity and school district in their transactions with that part of the city lying on the western side of the river and known as Cut-Off. Before the construction of this bridge It was necessary for Council Bluffs officials to 0 several miles through the eity of Omaha, n another state, whenever they had busi: ness in CutOfr. These annoving condi- tions will again exiat if the Millard bill be- comes a law. Real Estate Demands Protection. ue, Charles U. Sprague and George right.

In'these and many other particulars, fm possible at this time to mention, it 1§ es sentlal to considerable interests in this eity that the Terminal bridge be maintained for all the purposes for which it was originally designed. The bill now before congress eliminates from the chartef all requirements for the use of the Terminal bridge by wagons and foot passengers, and, if passed. will thus operate to destroy is usefulness in these articulars. I belfeve that Cut-Off Is des- ined to develop into a thriving manufac- turing. commerclal and residence district 1 am Informed that one argument advanced the owners of the bridge Is that, up to this time, wagon and foot traMc over It has not been profitable. An answer to this is that the company has not encours this class of business; but, regardles Any merit or demerit in this contention, belleve the future growth of the teriitory lying west o the river and tributary fo this bridge s sufficient reason for us o unite with other Council Bluffs citizens in an effort to prevent the passage of the Millard bill, unless it be so amended as to include wazon and foot trafic among the purposes for which the bridge is to be maintained in the future. Commercial Committee Prot A protest was read agalnst the passage of the bill from the commeroial commit- tee, signed by Chairman Test, M. R. Robrer, L. A. Devine and Dr. Barstow. A large number of interested citizens at- tended the meeting, and the councll wat addressed by Attorney Emmet Tinley, Colonel C. R. Hannan and M. F. Robrer, urging the city council to protect the city's rights over the bridge. The resolution was Introduced by Alder- man Boyer, who spoke at length on the proposed bil), also on the bill now before the lowa legislature for the appointment of a boundary commission.

DES MOINES, Peb. 17.—(Speclal.)—Gov- ernor Cummins was today notified by the authorities in Ka City that they have not sufficient evidence there to hold or con- vict Frank Shercleff and that he will be turned over to the Iowa authorities on requisition. Sherclefl was arrested in Kan- sas City aad gave the name of Ed ey. He was caught with others In robbery and made an attempt to escape. Shots were fired and a charge was put against Shercleft of assaulting an officer. Two of the shots took effect, but it appears that the Kansas City people find they cannot prove that Shercleft did any of the shooting. An cfcer will be sent for him in a few days and he will be taken back to the penitentiary. Shercleft was serving a seventeen years' sentence for the robbery of diamonds from a traveling man at Missouri Valley, and had served nearly seven years when paroled by Governor Shaw.
