MOYES CASE IS DISMISSED Neither of the Women Involved Will- ing to Prosecute the B y Charge. The case against Guy E. Moyes, the Tlli- nois Ceutral fireman charged with con- tracting a bigamous .marriage with Mi Grace Waltermire, was dismissed yesterday morning in Justice Carson's court on mo- tlon of County Attorney Killpack and Moyes was at once released from custody. No. 1, who filed the informa- nst her husband, charging him with bigamy, has left the city and returned to her former home in Illinols. Moyes' at- torney submitted to the court a statement signed by her setting forth that she did not wish to further prosecute the case and ask- ing that it be dismissed. This Justice Bryant declined to do at the time, stating that the state of Iowa was prosecuting the o but when the county attorney filed a motion to dismiss the case Justice Carson sustained i Assistant County Attorney Kimball, who had been in charge of the prosecution up to yesterday, refused to take the responsi- bility of dismissing the case in view of the fact that the state had sufficient evidence to prove it without the testimony of Mrs. Moy Mr. Kimball stated that it would have taken but a few days to have secured from I1llinols & certified copy of the mar- riage between Moyes and his wife, while the records here and the evidence of Rev. Henry DeLong, who performed .the cere- mony, would have been sufficient to have proved the marriage of Moyes and Grace Waltermire here a few weeks ago. Davis sells glase, Ink Sale.

Many people in Councll Bluffs are pos- sibly not aware of the fact that this city can now lay claim to possessing the finest equipped undertaking establishment In the state of Towa or the eutire west. Such is the case and so quietly has this been accomplished that but few people knew of it untll within the last day or so. Reference is made to the establishment of Charles Lunkley, 226 West Broadway, who may properly be called the veteran un- dertaker and embalmer of Council Bluffs. Mr. Lunkley started in the undertaking business here fourteen years ago, being first assoclated with Mr. B. S. Porter in a small building nearly opposite his pres- ent location. At that early day the work- ing up of business was an uphill affair, as there were several undertakers here who practically monopolized the trade of the city in this line. The new firm man- aged to hang on and In time Mr. Lunkley, who had never lost falth fn his ability to acquire his proportion of the trade, pur- chased his partner's interests and went it alone. He later purchased the bullding of his present locatlon, which was but a small one-story structure, and opened up for business there with a small stock of goods. People soon became convinced that Mr. Lunkley was a man who thoroughly understood his business and in ashort time it was evident that the new location would bave to be enlarged. Accordingly another story was added and the building was enlarged otherwise by bullding an addition to it, which seemed ample room for many years to come. In this Mr. Lunkley did not reckon aptly, for his business steadily grew to proportions be- yond his anticipations, and another en- largement of his location was decided upon. Plans were made and workmen en- gaged, with the result that he now has a bullding for his undertaking business only, with & floor capacity of 2,820 feet, besides having large, commodious living rooms in the same bullding on the second floor. The structure is practically new through- out. Opening upon the street is the pri- vate office. Adjoining this s the chapel room, with a capacity of holding 300 peo- ple. The chapel s for the purpose of hold- ing funeral services, for which it is well appointed. The beautiful decorations of this room make it the equal, if not the superior, of any parlor in the city. The celling and walls are finished in the finest wallpaper designs to be had in Council Bluffs and the artistic handiwork of the artists makes the room a bower of beauty. Upon the celling are three panels and the beautiful colors blend in perfect harmony throughout. The floor is covered with light tile pattern linoleum, purchased for the purpose in New York City through the Stockert Carpet company of Couneil Bluffs, and required 100 yards to cover this one floor. In the chapel’ a nicely designed ros- trum for the pastor has been provided and an organ will be placed In proper position 80 that the services In the chapel may be beld with all the convenlences of a church. This room is also supplied with fine chan- delters, giving the room a beautiful effect when illuminated at night. In this spacious room all the finest caskets and smaller goods are kept. There are twenty-six cab- inets made for holding the caskets, which are nicely adjusted to the walls and re- quiring but & moment’s time to show any casket desired. Cabinets are also provided for showing smaller caskets. The cabinets are elegantly finished in white enamel and the nicety of the whole adjustment of the chapel room is in conformity of the most modern styles Adjolning the chapel room on the first floor is the morgue. It Is safe to say that it is the equal of anything of the kind to be found in the metropolitan cities of the t and is certainly surpassed by nothing of its kind In the west. Its Interfor is finished in the best cement to be had and covering this is nicely decorated enameled paper, making the morgue absolutely water- proof. Its appearance is anything but that of & gruesome place that one would natur- ally expect to see, as those usually are in concerns like this. Mr. Lunkley states that a body can be kept in this morgue for any length of time in a perfect state of preservation so that it is presentable to the friends at all times. Mr. Lunkley's two assistants, Mr. Henry Schetdle and Mr. Esty Woodring, are both state licensed embalmers and undertakers In connection herewith mention of the ex- cellent funeral equipments of Mr. Lunk- ley will not be out of place. -Besides hav- ing one of the finest funeral cars possessed by any similar concern in the west he also bas & modern brohme, ambulance and Stan- bope buggy, every one of which are thor- oughly up to d He has also provided a lowering device for each of the cemeteries, Fairview and Walout Hill. These are the latest and most modern equipments to the undertaking business and are used for low- erig the casket into the grave. Mr. Lunkley's son-lu-law, Mr. Henry Scheldle, will become an associate in the business and will henceforth be actively engaged with the establishment. To the people of Councll Bluffs and viclaity Mr. Lunkley extends » cordial la- , will conduct the services this morn- | ing at 11 o'clock at Grace Episcopal church. | vitation to call and inspect his new build- fng and a hearty greeting will be given every visitor.
