COMPANY REFUSES TO ACCEPT TERMS Amended So as to Provide Lower and Require a Deposit from Company of Flve Thousand Dollars. Rates The ordinance granting a franchise to the Council Bluffs Independent Telephone com- pany was laid on the table at the meeting of the city council last night after At- torney Emmet Tinley on bebalf of the com- pany had declined to accept it in the state in which the aldermen decided that it ought to be submitted to the people of the city for their approval. In declining to agcept the ordinance Mr. Tinley asserted that he would be operating an independent tele- phone system in Council Bluffs in a year and that he would go before the people with an ordinance which he was sure would mect with their approval. In substance Mr. Tin- ley stated that he would draft an ordinuuce which he would submit to the peopls at a special election without refsrring it first to the city council. The law provides a means whereby the question of granting tranchises can be submitted to a vote of the people first without the consent of the c'ty council. The ordinance as redrafted by City So- licitor Snyder was passed on cuspension of the rules to its second reading wa Al- derman Huber moved to amend it by sub- stituting the rates offered in the ordinance submitted by ~the Interstate company through Vie Stevens of Dubuque. iuber's motion was promptly seconded by Alder- man Olson and on being put to the vote carried, Alderman Huber, Fleming, Lovert, Olson and McDonald voting for it and Al- derman Casper, Lougee and Tinley against it | Aldermen Are Suspicious. This action on the part of the council relative to the rates was not unlooked tor, as it was no secret that several of the ald- ermen had their suspiclous regurding the retirement of Mr. Stevens from tbe fleld and giving way to the local company. It was known that more than one alderman had ex- pressed the opinion that il appeared to bim to be another case of ihe so-called “‘merg- ing"” of the two street railway systems, the history of which is #till fresh in the minds of the people of Council Bluffs. Alderman Casper protsstei against the substitution of these rates on the grouuds that he was sure it would kill the ordivance and prevent Its acceptan:2 by the local compa Mr. Tinley, on being cailed upon, stated bo could not accept the ordinance, as his company could not possibly operate successfully ucder such low rates. He also stated that another reason why he could not accept the ordinance was the clause providing for the depositing of a $5,000 forfeit. Alderman Lougee took occasion to explain his vote and to deny the alleged reported obstacles In the way of the passage of this ordinance that Mr. Stevens had decided to leave the fleld. He went into a lot of de- taills of inside history of the telephone ! fight and asserted that he had knowledge that Mr. Stevens | intended to build his system on borrowed money, if he built at all, but added that he had very serlous doubts If he would ever have bullt under the ordinance if it had been passed. He sald further that he did not believe that proper service could be given under the rates offered by Mr. Stevens, and for that reason he voted for the rates proposed in the local company’s ordinance. Attorney Wadsworth presented a commu- nication from the Interstate company, ask- iug to withdraw its ordinance, as it could not accept it now even it it was approved. The ordinance was ordered laid on the table and the certified check for $1,600, which the company bad deposited for election ex- penses, was returned to Mr. Stevens. This disposed of the independent tele- phone matter for the tlme belng and the aldermen are now breathing somewhat freer. At the request of Attorneys Lindt and Mynster the personal injury damage claim of Henry Lock was referred to the judi- clary committee for investigation. Over a year ago this claim, originally for $25,000, brought before the committes of the whole by Lindt and Mynster and a so- called compromise effected whereby the city agreed to accept judgment for $2,000. Judg- ment was entered against the city for this sum, but Mayor Jennings vetoed this ac- tion of the council and the city solicitor was Instructed to file a motion to dismiss the judgment. This was done, but the mo- tion has never been argued. The ladies of the Congregational church will give a lawn soclal this evening at the residence of Rev. Thompson, 710 South Sixth street.

Elsle Moyes, who claims to have been married to Moyes in Hancock county, Illinols, Feb- ruary 14, 1898, is the complainant.

ONE LOOK AT BONHAM ENOUGH Three Prisoners Plead Guilty as Soon as He is Called on the ury. Judge Wheeler in the district court yes- terday took up the criminal calendar, but in each of the three cases assigned for trial the defendant pleaded guilty after the impaneling of a jury had been begun. Charles Coleman plead gullty to holding up and robbing W. J. Colburn on the night of April 8 near the State School for the Deaf. Jobn Plumb pleaded guilty to be- ing implicated in assaulting and robbing Fred Goth In the rallroad yards on May 24. Plumb's two assoclates, Mike Sheehan and Mike Fahey, were among the prisoners who escaped from the county jail. H. 8. Fishburn admitted he was guilty of steal- ing Charles Bailey's bicycle, valued at $35 which makes the offense one of grand lar- ceny, 1t was an amusing and strange colncidence that the three defendants each decided to enter a plea of guilty after the first juror had been called into the box. The jurer In question happened to be B. A. Bonham who was called first in each case. He had no sooner answered to his name and taken his seat when the attorney for the de- fendant notified the court that his client dectded to plead guilty. Judge Wheeler announced that he would pass sentence on the three defendants Sat- urday morning. Harry Caley, charged with the larceny of gold-rimmed spectacles from the optlcal store of Captain Webb on Broadway, and Willlam Mason charged with breaking into and robbing Thomas Maloney's cigar fac- tory will be tried today. Mason's com- panlon, E. G. Jones, is one of the prisoners still missing from the county jail. The trial of these two defendants will conclude the criminal business for this term s the case against James N. Casady, Jr., charged with embezzlement, has been con- tinued, as has that againet Attorney Henry G. Wernimont. In the latter case the de- murrer filed by the defendant to the in- dictment has not yet been argued. Judge Wheeler yesterday set Wednesday for hearipg the application of M.

Heinnger of near Clafinda, a farmer, had become seriously tired of buy- ing 'potatoes at the exorbltant price of $1.40 per bushel, and he made up his mind he would get his potatoes in the ground as soon as the frost went out of Mother Earth this spring. The_result of his ven- ture was that on May 30 he had potatoes in plenty for his family and of enormous size, some of which measured §%x7 inches and’ were ripe, too, and he sold them on the market at $1.60 per bushel. He was getting it back at the merchants with a vengeance. Sheriff McArthur of Davenport reports forty-two prisoners who are inmates of the ‘county fail at the present time. The usual prison’ menu, with the present high price of beef, is 'a severe tax on the sherlft's purse, who, under his contract with Scott county, is obliged to furnish meals at a ridiculously small cost to the county. Potatoes and meat have been alti- tudinous in cost of late, and this is the reason of the sparse marging being gath- ered in by the sheriff. However, the pris- oners have no complaint to make as to the quality of food furnished them.

It was Mr. Hubbard's policy and practice to settle cases outside of court whenever and wherever possible, and it i Mr. Mason's belief that he saved the com- pany many thousands of dollars by this action. When a case came up it was never to him a question of the amount of damages, but as to the liability and individual responsibility or contributory negligence. He practiced in the federal court at Des Moines for more than thirty years and had many hard cases, but by far the great majority he settled outside of court, Comments of the Towa Press.
