The attention of The Bee bhas been re- cently called to a palpable mistake made in & report of divorce proceedings which appeared in these columns April 19 last, in which it was erroneously stated that a defendant, John Higgins, had been pre- viously convicted of bigamy. Investigation proves that our report was the result of confusion of the case of John Higglos with another divorce case in the district court in which a different person by the name of Higgins figures. Inquiry has satisfied us that John Higgins was never charged with any offense in the nature of bigamy and as The Bee has no dieposition to mis- represent or injure any of the parties, it makes this correction that Johan Higgins may be set right with its readers.

It was while unwinding this temporary connection of wire through which a 2,000 volt current was passing that Jacobs met his death. He was near the top of the pole and placed his left hand on the wire east of him while | with the other he unwound the comnection. | When the conmection was unwound it left Jacobs holding the two ends of the wire, | one in each hand, thus forming a perfect circult and the current passed through him killing him instantly. His life belt strap- ped round the pole supported Jacobs' body and prevented it falling to the ground be- low. Lineman George Smith ascended the pole and reaching past Jacobs cut the wire and instantly Jacobs’ grip relaxed and the pliers which held the west end of the wire fell to the ground. The body was lowered to the ground and every cffort made to resuscitate the unfor- tunate man, but he was past earthly aid, death having evidently been instantaneous. Fixes No Blame. P The body was removed to Cutler's under- taking rooms where Coroner Treynor im- paneled a jury anl held an inquest. The Jury, consisting of George W. Long, W. P. Mikesell and George B. Miles, brought In a verdict to the effect that Jacobs met his death by accidently coming in contact with a live electric wire and that no blame at- tached to anyone, The witnesses at the inquest were Fore- man Carr, the linemen Working with Jjacobs and the men employed In moving the houses. Foreman Carr testified that Jacob: was considered an experienced lineman, having heen employed n that capacity for o uumber of years although he had only been working for about a month for the motor company. He described the manner in which the man met his death and sup- posed that it was through an oversight that Jacobs had grasped the wire with his left hand, it being unnecessary for him to do s0 while unwinding the connection. Carr explained that in order to raise the feed wires of the motor company to permit the | houses to pass under it was nece cut the connection of the electric 1ight wire and pass it under instead of over the motor wire. It was while engaged in cutting this ction that Jacobs was killed. stimony of the other men was sub- stantially the same as that given by Carr. Jacobs previously to coming to Council Bluffs to work for the motor company lived in South Omaha. He was a married man, but It is said that he and his wite had not been living together for several months. Davis sells glass.

L A R B T BROTHER (OMES TO RESCUE Propotes to See That James Walker Has Fair Trial on Murder Oharge. PETTY ROBBZRIES AMONG CITIZENS Trustees of Ames College Considering Plans for the New Bullding to Take the Place of the Burned Structure. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Aug. 20.—(Special)—Rev. H. C. Walker, colored, of Council Blufts, arrived in Des Moines today and took steps to see to it that his brother, James Walker, ed of the murder of Isaac Finkelstein, has a fair trial before the justice of the peace. Walker's trial, or preliminary hear- ing, s set for Friday and the hearing for Levich, who Is accused as an accessory, will be tomorrow, It has been the desire of the state that Levich should be tried first, but the plan of Levich's attorneys is to ask for a change of venue tomorrow and thus force the trial of Walker first. Rev. Mr. Walker, the brother, states that both he and his brother have made thelr homes in Topeka and that while the accused man bas not not been exemplary in his conduct he does not believe he committed the murder. The two had a conference today and a firm of good lawyers has been retained to look after the case. The Council Blufts man will remain here until after the trial. This afternoon two hackmen, Fred Miller and “Spot” Wilson, got into & quarrel on High street and the former shot the latter in the leg doing little damage. Both men hurried away and Miller was afterward ar- rested with the gun in his hand. Rev. F. Lomack, the colored preacher who was shot in the lung, is rcsting easily at the hospital and hopes are now entertained that he will get well. Many Petty Robberies. Des Moines is suffering from many petty robberies and it seems impossible to check the ralds. Last night at the home of F. H.McArthur, a druggist, the (hieves entered and after ransacking the house sat down and ate a supper in the kitchen. The got only a small amount of money. During the past week not less than a dozen similar burglaries have been reported. The police are kept 80 busy looking after larger crimes that the city is but poorly, patrolled and the matter is becoming serious with the people, There has been much complaint of the inactivity of the police. Blown Into River. A remarkable accident is reported happening last night. Herman Helre, an clectrician, was riding across the river on the Walnut street bridge while a windstorm was blowing. He was blown from the bridge into the water. Others on the bridge saw his danger, as the river Is very wide and deep at present, Helire proved to be a good gwimmer and kept himself above water until he came to the next bridge down the river when he was rescued. State College lding Com The bulld:ng committee of the Iowa State college trustees held a meeting at Ames today for the purpose of considering the detall plans for the new $300,000 collegiate building to be erected on the site of the one recently burned down. The report of the committes,” which visited several easi ern colleges, was also presented. The building committee will report to the trustees at a full board meeting tomorrow, when it is expected the plans will finally adopted. The matter of the pres dency of the callege will be only informally considered. Iowa City and Iowa Clash. The state of JTowa may be made defend- ant in an injunction sult, brought by Iowa City. The litigation, if begun, will be based on the alleged error In the plans of Architects Proudfoot and Bird of Des Moines, whereby the State university will encroach upon city property. It Is alleged by the city engineer that one of the new college of medicine bulldings will extend into Jefferson street x and one-half inches. The distance is slight, but eral aldermen have already protested, and it was declared at the last council meet- ing that the city may enjoin the state from proceeding unless the bullding is moved back the half foot in question. Army Post Water Mains Abandoned. The long deadlock over securing water for the new Fort Des Moines has been ended and the officers of the water com- pany stated today that they will not run their water mains to the site of the post. The city auditor and the city treasurer b positively refused to lssue or pay the warrants for §50,000 which the city council authorized and the state leglslature legal- ized, the same being a transfer of a fund raised to secure a muniecipal com- pany as a loan to the present water com- pany. The city officials belleve they would not be safe In paying over the money, but could be held personally liable, as the pay- ment would finally be declared illegal. The work on the army post buldings has been begun, and the belief obtains that despite the failure to arrange for water at the post the work will be continue A com- pany may be organized to bulld & sepa- Tate water company for the post.

Btockholder in Colorado Fuel Company Uses Injunction.” GIVES 0SGOOD TIME TO BUY STOCK Move is Thought to Be of Gates' Opponen Ian't Strong Eno Just Yet. DENVER, Aug. 20.~Judge John L. Mul- lens of the district court Issued an injunc- tion this atternoon which caused a po ponement of the annual election of the Col- orado Fuel and Iron company, which was to have taken place at 3 o'clock this afternoon The injunction was obtained by A. M Stevenson, attorney for George F. Bartlett a stockholder in the corporation. The ap- plication alleged that the present contro- versy was doing vast harm to the share- holders and asked that the property bs protected by stopping the fight until such time as the case could be heard in court. George F. Bartlett is secretary of the Victor Fuel company, and although he avers this move is made of his own volition it is understood, he {s nevertheless acting in the interest of John C. Osgood, who is sald to be without sufficient stock to elect a board, and who, it is alleged, wants the matter postponed until such time as he can ace quire other stock. Osgood is more than anxious to be relleved from John W. Gates threat to keep up litigation until & com- promise is effected. The Gates people dis- avow any connection with Bartlett or knowledge of his move. The effect of this injunction will be to stop the fight until the injunction Is dis- solyed either by an answer made to it, or by & higher authority than the district court. orado Fuel and Iron company that Gates is presumed to represent are made defendants in the action. Other stockholders who, it is averred, are made to lose money by tho quarrel over the control of the company are invited to join the plaintiff, Bartlett, o his action to stop the factional quarrel until the court determines the merits of the case. One of the injunctions, uuloes it is dls- solved, Js to continue Osgood, Kebler and the rest of the present regime in office until their ‘successors are chosen. The general beliof is that a compromise will spring from the Bartlett injunction. The following statement was given to the Assoclated Press tonight by a repre- sentative of John W. Gates: “In the Colorado Fuel and Iron com- pany controversy ar injunction was issued today to restrain the holding of the an- nual . meeting set for 3 o'clock p. m. George F. Bartlett, a stockholder, in the interest of the Osgood faction brought the suit In the district court, making Messrs. Gates, Blair and Mitchell and all share- holders for whom they hold proxies par- ties defendant to the sult, together, also, with the board of directors of the com- pany an ex parte injunction granted with- cut motiee tasned and merved a fow minutes before 3 o'clock cnjoining the holding of any annual meeting or taking any proceedings until the further order of the court than to adjourn. “The defendants, Gates, Blair and Mitch- ell, together with other defendants acting with them, immediately gave notice of a motion to dissolve the injunction so granted and the matter will be called up for hearing as soon as practicable under the practice in Colorado." | and strength of men, wom: HOT WEATHER HINTS, Something that will protect the health and children | during hot weather is truly a great bless- M | giok in summer o 1 laboratories of B.
