LAWYERS MAY GET THE CASH Money Btolen from Axel Bunderson is Not Likely to Return, ROBBERS ASSIGN CASH TO ATTORNEYS Parker and Wilson, ing Stolen G Nice Little M. tice Bryant. Held for Axel Bunderson, who was robbed of $240 in an Omaha lodging house Sunday night, and for which robbery twd men, giving the names of Frank Wilson and George Parker, were arrested in this city may experience some difficulty in recovering his wealth. Wilson and Parker were arrested at the Iilinots Central depot about 8 o'clock in the morning a few minutes after maklog the trip from Omaha in & hack. They had in their possession $238, after paying the hackman $3. They refused to return with- out requisition papers. Yesterday they employed Attorneys Lindt & Mynster to defend them, an {nformation charging them with bringing stolen prop- erty in the state having been flled against them in the court of Justice Bryant. They made an assignment of the money found on them to the attorneys, $50 to Lindt and the balance $186 to Mynster. Attorney Lindt lost no time in securing from Jus- tice Bryant an order directed to Chief of | Police Tibbits to turn over the money to him. Chief Tibbits was on the polmt of complying with the order when Assistant County Attorney Kimball interposed. The facts were explained to Justice Bryant, and he told the police to hold on to the money. Later Attorney Lindt went again before Justice Bryant and the latter again or- dored tiat the money be turned over to the attorneys. Chief Tibbits declined to comply with the order, and finally the mat- ter was settled for the time being by Jus- tice Bryant fixing Saturday for the hearing as to the ownership of the money. The men arrested say they earned it working on the Great Western grade, and unless Bunderson can actually prove that cash found on Wilson and Parker is his property, he will have, it is sald, diffculty in recovering it, and that the prospects for the attorneys getting the wad of bills are fairly bright.

Raney of Fairfleld, Ia., president of the Jefferson County Telephone company and president of the Interstate Independ- ent 'Phone assoclation, and ' Dr. Henry 8.

Vie Stevens admitted before leaving. for his home in Dubuque last evening that to all intents and purposes the Interstate and Council Bluffs Telephone companies had, as he termed it, “‘merged.” It was stated | yesterday that the terms on which Mr. ‘<uvenl abandoned the fleld in favor of the local company are that he is to have | an interest in the company and is to fur- nish the equipment of the new telephone system. This ts saild to be the original proposition which Mr. Stevens made to the local company when he first entered the fleld in Council Bluffs, but the local com- pany at that time declined to oconsider it. The local company's ordinance, as amended Monday night, s being redrafted by the city attorney and will come up for actfon by the city council at its meeting Monday night. The company has so far refused to accept the condition that it de- posit with the city five da; fter the ap- proval by the people of the franchise, $6,000 as a guaranty that it will install the plant and carry out its contract.

This means I0WA WEATHER AND CROPS Vagaries of the Olimate Bother Offioial Estimator Very Much. SUDDEN TURN DISCOUNTS THE BULLETIN Longed-For Hot Weather Comes with Unexpected Rush and Puts New Phase Crop Sit- uation. (From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, June 10. eclal.)—The vagaries of Towa weather at this time keeps the crop estimators guessing. This morn- ing the thermometer took & sharp upturn and by noon was at 90 degrees. Two days #go there was actual danger of frost in this part of lowa. The crop bureau has been compelled to admit that conditions are becoming very bad for the farmers in Iowa. The report for last week, issued this morn- Ing, makes the following statement of the situation: The past week was slightly warmer than the average, and in all districts except the northwest there was an excess of rainfall, amounting to heavy downpours and dam- ing floods in extensive area ‘ollowing are man amounts reported: Clarinda, 6.60 1 Bedford, 5.6, Villisca, 3.45; Albla, Chariton, 318! Council Bluffs, 292; Carroll, 4.65; Mount Vernon, Jefferson, 410 Grinnell '101;" Nawton, 801 Eikader, §90; At Clarinda, ‘on the 6th, 4.80 inches fell in about an hour and a half. Such storms were necessarily damaging to crops on slopes and bottoms, and in the cornflelds of the submerged dlsiricts the area of well- nigh total destruction must be very large. We have no means of estimating the full extent of damage. In the northwest there is still pressing ed of rain, while the larger pari of the state needs dry, clear weather. The oat crop 1s becoming bulky in many localities. Grass 1s doing notably well, both in meadows and pastures. The turn of the weather toward summer conditions this morning, however, augurs better for the orops, for the weather has been entirely too cold for some time. A growing period at this time will improve the prospect for Towa crops. Water and Light Company Balks. the heaviest h Valley Junction, the rallroad town just outside of Des Molines on the Rock Island, Is In darkness and has no water to drink. The water and light company has gone on a strike and refuses to do business.

May Have Clue to Murder. In the arrest of a crazy negro giving his name as “Pat Carter,” who is now in jall at Albia, the police hope that (he much-desired clue to the murder of the Peterson children has been obtained.

Mr. Petty happened to be at home at the time and Interfered, or there is no telling what would have happened. He notified the police and had Carter a rested. Carter explained to the police that he was forced to follow Mrs. Petty by some strange impulse. He was manifestly out of his head and kept mumbling to himsel “It was & shame to kill those children He repeated it over and over. The police think the worry over the crime unbalanced his mind and officers went to Albla at 3:15 this afternoon to see Carter. Carter gave his address as Des Molnes. He is described as a black, burly negro, five feet elght inches tall and weighing 165 pounds.
