SELECT CARSON FOR JUSTICE iVote of Board Was Unanimczs in Spite of Fact There Were Other Applicants, The Board of County Supervisors con- vened yesterday afternoon for the regular June session. The first business to be taken up was the selection of a justice of the peace for Council Bluffs to fill the vi cancy caused by the resignation of John W. Ferrier, who has gome to the Philip- pines. Hon. George Carson, former judge of the district court, was the unanimous selection of the board. Former Justice Ovide Vien, Walter Joseph and Robert Green had formal applications before the board, while Attorney George H. Gable was also after the position. County Attorney Killpack called the at- tention of the board to the fact that con- tractor on the Great Western railroad had driven piling in the public highway west ot the city, where the railroad is constructing an overhead crossing over the tracks of the Rock Island road.

Alderman Casper raised the question whether the mayor had the authority to appoint as special officers any but residents of this city and the state of Iowa. The men appointed are said to be residents of Omaha, but will make their homes ‘at the beach during the season and this temporary residence was not consid- ered sufficlent by the aldermen to constl- tute them residents of Iowa. City Attor- ney Snyder, on being appealed to, recited from the Iowa code, which provides that all elective and appointive officers of the city must be qualified electors. Alderman Casper in raising the question suggested that in the event of one of the special officers being sued fgr illegal ar- rest the city of Council Bluffs would be held fn all probability liable, as the bond furnished by the officer would be of no ac- count if the officer’s appointment by the mayor was not legal. The matter was dls- cussed at length and finally the appoint- ménts were referred back to the mayor and city attorney to investigate as to the eligl bility of the men. The men named were J. H. Cusick, Michael Cavanaugh, Thomat Carmick, B. L. Curtis, John Sidner, John O'Donahoe and George Blake. The need of a jail at Cut-Off was also brought before the council by Chief Tib- bits, now that Courtland Beach has been opened, in which drunks can be confined. The bullding formerly us by the city as & il at that place is practically derelict and occupied by a family. It is & mile away from the resort. Chief Tibbits suggested that & temporary structure could be erected at & cost pot to exceed §150. This led to a discussion as to what revenue the city | derived from Cut-Off and Chiet Tibbits He sald that one saloon had been runiang for two months and had a city licene. This statement was quel tioned by Oity Clerk Phillips, who said that in the last four years he had only issued one license for that eection of the city and that was for t owweeks. The matter of the jail was referred to the committee on police and health, with power to act. The appointment of F. L. Hayes to the police force by Mayor Morgan was approved. Hayes will serve at Cut-Off. Miller & Raymond, C. E. Skinger and Grabam, July & Grifith were granted per- mits to operate saloons at Cut-Off. On the recommendation of Alderman Mc- Donald hydrants were ordered located at Fifth aveoue and Third street, Avenus B end Ninth street, Broadway near Hunter avenue and on Madison avenue at the Junction of Stah! avenue. R. E. Daglels J. W. Mitchell and A. W, Barritt were rppointed special policemen at the request of the Retall Grocers' a: soclation, for the purpose of enforcing the recently passed peddiers’ ordinance. Alderman Lovett agaln brought up the matter of increasing the pay of the mem- bers of the fire depariment from $60 to $65 & month and places that of the captaing fect right to drive the piling where they were.

DES MOINES, June 3.—The government rested its case against Lettson Balllett at 1 o'clock today and this afternoon the de- fonse began its introduction of evidence. Counsel for the defense stated that mining experts would be placed upon the stand first to testify as to the condition of the White Swan mine. Their testimony wiil be much the same as given by O. M. Rosen- dale last Friday evening, to the effect that the White Swan could easily be made a paying property. A number of witnesses were recalled by the government this morning, including Mrs. Alice D. Young, Balllett's clerk in the San Francisco office, who testified early in the c She test!- fled among other things today that Balliett told her he paid $150 for a sealskin cloak for Gertle Henderson, the variety actress, and also bought her rings and a sunburst of diamonds. This is the testimony the government hae sought all along to intro- duce to show tbat Balliett squandered hun- dreds of dollars of money paid over to him by the White Swan stockholders. Postoffice . Inspector James O'Comnell of San Francisco, B. T. Potter, ex-postmaster of Baker City, Ore.; 8. H. Rowland of Ma- rengo, Ia., and others were recalled and testified this morning. J. M. Tigner of Des Molnes, one of the members of the com- pany who owned the White Swan mine pre- vious to its golng into the hands of Bal- liett, was called by the government in an effort to Impeach the testimony of Rosen- dale as to the conditlon of the mine, but most of the testimony of Mr. Tigner was ruled out on the ground that it had not been sufficiently proven that he was & min- ing expert and capable of judging of the condition of the White Swan mine.

CRESTON, Ia, June 3.—(Special.)—Union county claims the homor of having the smallost calf ever horn in Towa. It is Bow 6 weeks old and stands but eighteen inches high and weighs but fifteen pounds. It is on exhibition in ome of the show windows of Creston and is creating quite a great deal of comment. It is alive and hearty and promises to grow into a fully-matured cow.

All the union plumbers, gas and steam fitters of the eity are on strike today. They refused to go to work this morning unles the master plumbers signed a new scale. They had notified the employers of a de- mand several weeks ago, and fixed June 1 as the time they would look for an increase. The plumbers want $3.60 per day for elght hours. The gas and steam fitters want the same wages. The differences will probably be fought, as the master plumbers say they will not give $3.60 per day for part of the men employed, though they might be willing to pay it for the leading plumbers, who can take a job and figure on it and carry on the work without loss of time or money. The plumbers have been getting $3 as an average wage. It 18 thought the strike will be a protracted one, and it will affect many large and small bulldings, some of which have been under way for months and which lack only plumbing and wood finish. Death of Charles Reugnits. News has been received of the death of Charles Reugnitz of Elkader, county treas- urer of Clayton county for eight terms and one of the most popular men of northeast Towa. At the recent meeting of the grand lodge of the Ancient Order of United Workmen of lowa at Council Bluffs, he was re-elected grand overseer of the lodge. He was a democratic candidate for state tréasurer in 1882. Before going to Clayton county Mr. Reugnitz, who was a native of Germany, worked for some years in Omaha on the Unlon Pacific rallroad. Money from Estates. During the month of May the state tres urer received payments of collateral In-, heritance taxes in settlement of twenty-six estates, the largest number settled in any one month since the law was passed. The amount recejved, however, was small, being only $6,225.73. The collection of the col- lateral inheritance taxes is now much eas- ler and prompter than before a number of important decisione by the court in relation to the law. Cochran Deposit a Trust Fund. The Towa supreme court today reversed Judge Green in a case from Pottawattamie county, affecting adversely the créditors of the Officer & Pusey bank. J. J. Stewart as executor of the estate of A. Cochran had deposited in the bank at a time when it was reputed to be solvent $2,139.98, as a trust fund, and he asked to have this de- clared a preferred claim. Judge Green held it to be a general deposit and the executor had no rights not common to all the cred- itors of the bank. In an opinion preferred by Judge Sherwin the Iowa supreme court today holds that as the deposit was of a trust fund it was not a general deposit and should not have been mingled with the or- dinary funds of the bank—hence the claim should have been declared a preferred one. The following were the decisions: State against Frank Comer, appellant; Cass county; Judge Green; conviction for assault; affirmed. Charles T, Officer, administrator, against Officer & Pusey et al, appellants; wattamie county: Judge Thornell; versed; opinion by Sherwin. State against J. A. Gregory, aj Pottawattamie county; Judge Smit viction for larceny: nmrmed, Mark Trotter et a] against Rufus Trotter et al, arpellants; Keokuk county; Judge Clements; contest of a will; ‘affirmed; opinfon by Waterman. Bidding on Army Post Building. At the office of Major Turmer of the United States army there was opened to- day the bids of various contractors on the first work to be done in the comstruction of the army post buildings near Des Molnes. Bids had been asked for on ten separate buildings, including barracks and officers’ quarters, also for the plumbing and fin- ishing and many other matters. The bids on the ten bulldings varied from §$160,000 to §180,000 for the buildings alome. Major Turner will forward the bids to the head- quarters at Washington and it is expected contracts will be entered into so that work may be commenced within forty days. The bids were somewhat higher than expected because of the fact that there is no rall- road spur to the site of the army post and the contractors must depend on the elec- tric street car line to the post. There 1o available mow $200,000, with which this work may be commenced. Wil H Tte location of all the new tions on the Des Moines, lowa Falls & Northern road bas just been completed and will give the line ten stations exclusive of the ter- minal points, Des Molnes and Iowa Falls.
